In the early morning of August 31, Apple suddenly announced the official release date of its annual flagship, the new iPhone: at 10 a.m. on September 12, US time, it was held at the Jobs Theater in Apple's Spaceship Headquarters, while at 1 a.m. on September 13, domestic time. Seeing this news, Ji had to drag his tired body and sit in front of the 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro to start writing this summary of iPhone revelations.
There are three iPhones this time
Apple will release three new iPhones this time, which are almost solid hammers. They are 5.8 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.5 inches, respectively. There are also many rumored versions of their names. The more credible version should be iPhone Xs（ Minor revision every other year ）。
The 5.8-inch version is consistent with the iPhone X on sale in terms of appearance design, while the 6.5-inch version is the enlarged version of its screen - iPhone Xs Plus（ You can read it as "Ten Esperas" ）。 The above two models are the main products of this year, and 6.1 inch is the so-called "cheap version" similar to the iPhone 5c of that year. Will it be named iPhone Xc? However, there are many reports that the name of the 6.1 inch version is iPhone 9.
Different screen materials
The 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch iPhone Xs are flagship positioning. They will be equipped with OLED displays unintentionally. The resolution of the former will remain unchanged, while the latter will be improved accordingly. Therefore, it is inevitable to usher in a painful period of app adaptation. I believe that the early strategy should be "stretching", and the effect is similar to that of the iPhone 5 to iPhone 6. BTW： Although many domestic media and users are very supportive of LCD, almost all foreign media think OLED is better and symbolizes high-end.
According to rumors, 6.1 inches will be equipped with LCD display（ LCD will never be a slave! ）I believe that some Apple users will be happy, but since it is not a flagship location, it will definitely shrink in other hardware configurations. In addition, the use of LCD screen also means that its chin is certainly not as narrow as the other two models. Finally, according to the disclosure, the resolution of this LCD iPhone is only 1792 x 828, not even 1080p, and the ppi is only more than 300. It seems that even if it is made of LCD material, this screen is not very fragrant~
By the way, these three new iPhones are all Liu Haiping, which also means that the iPhone 6 design, which has been used for four years, will be thrown into the dustbin of history. The normal 16:9 screen will never return from then on. It's hard to avoid being a little sad. At this time, holding the red special version of iPhone 8 Plus, he whispered: "You will always be with me!".
Hardware
In 2016, Ji already knew that the new iPhone in 2018 would be equipped with A12 SoC（ Manual dog head ）。 After all, there is almost no suspense about SoC. Both Xs and Xs Plus will be equipped with A12 It is still the big nuclear route, Multi core performance is also tough The GPU will increase by 40%, but it is believed that consumers will not experience it for a while. In the press conference, Apple will definitely say "It's much more faster than the last one!".
In terms of memory, the Xs Plus will probably increase to 4GB, maintaining the memory differentiation between large and small models since 16 years ago. In addition, the battery capacity will be larger and the battery life will be stronger.
Many media have speculated that the 6.1 inch LCD iPhone will Equipped with A11 or even A10 SoC The latter is a gadget two years ago. Unless Apple wants to repeat the mistakes of the previous 5c, it is almost impossible to use A10. Moreover, if it is named iPhone 9, it is even more impossible. Otherwise, 9 is weaker than 8, which makes no sense, so it should also be A12.
The war of camera turning over?
Since the 6s, Apple has been squeezing toothpaste on CMOS to the same extent as Intel. Although its algorithm has improved to a certain extent, it still cannot avoid being beaten by many Android flagship in recent years. In 2018, if we don't come up with a sincere solution, we will be despised by many fans Huawei P20 Pro My good friends went out to play together, and after taking photos, I found that the gap between myself and others was so big, which would definitely upset me.
In terms of quantity, the Xs and Xs Plus are dual camera combinations, while the 6.1 inch version is single camera. After all, it is not the flagship, so this configuration is also in line with the positioning.
Double card finally comes!
Another solid hammer configuration is quite a few Double card and double waiting, which is the dream of fruit fans ! Like Samsung and most manufacturers, Apple will decide whether to sell the dual card version according to different countries. As for why Apple has waited so long, according to an article that Ji Brother has read before, they may feel that it is unnecessary to launch the dual card iPhone, 。
But perhaps considering that the increase of double cards may stimulate sales, I decided to try the water.
Since there is no change in the design of the 5.8 inch iPhone Xs, it cannot be a physical dual card. It should be connected with Google Pixel 2 Same as This is also in line with Apple's simplicity. Of course, it is not so easy to use, and it is impossible to plug and unplug. However, there are rumors that the 6.1 inch and 6.5 inch versions will be physical dual SIM card slots.
Other rumors
Support Apple Pencil: Recently, it was announced that the 6.5 inch Xs will support the use of Apple Pencil, but A thick and long pen on a small screen I'm afraid it's Shi Lezhi. Credibility: low ×
New color scheme: Last year's iPhone X only has black and white, which is inevitably monotonous. It is said that the colors of the 6.1 inch version will be slightly more colorful, while the other two flagship models may However, it is believed that (PRODUCT) RED will be launched later ™ Red Special Edition. Credibility: High √
Face ID： They are all Liu Haiping. There is no fingerprint under the screen, and it is impossible to post fingerprint, so Face ID will become the standard unlocking scheme for the new generation iPhone The physical fingerprint is also gone forever. Credibility: High √
"Standard configuration" fast charging: Last year's iPhone finally supported fast charging. Congratulations! But as soon as consumers got the real machine, they immediately looked up to the sky and sighed, "Why is it still 5W? How about Laotse's fast charging head!?". Although it supports fast charging, Apple does not have a standard fast charging head, which is very shameful. After being complained by many people, Apple Will it be possible to configure quick charger as standard in conscience this year ？
However, the C to L cable must be used for fast charging, but the standard configuration of this cable will cause some compatibility problems, and the additional Type-A cable will increase the cost, so it remains to be seen. Credibility: medium~
Discard 3D Touch: In the 6.1 inch version, 3D Touch will be cut off and software algorithms will be used to make up for it. There are also many reports that in 2019, due to cost considerations, Apple will abandon 3D Touch . Credibility: high √
price: The price of 5.8-inch iPhone Xs will not change much compared with last year, while 6.5-inch iPhone Xs will There is no big problem for the high-capacity version to exceed ¥ 10000. However, the 6.1 inch LCD version will be much milder, and is said to be positioned at $600 - $699（ About RMB 4096 - 4777 ）, but I believe that it will not be so fragrant. It is more suitable for Apple to add $100 on this basis. Credibility: wait and see~
Every year, many people complain about the iPhone, but every year, the iPhone sells well. People who hate it still hate it, and people who like it still like it. What will happen this year when the iPhone with traditional aircraft carrier screen design is officially abandoned? At 1:00 a.m. on September 13, Brother Ji will watch it with you!
