Apple iPhone XS and XS Max: Welcoming the incremental update

Nothing much about the new iPhones were kept a secret so Apple’s event earlier just felt like a confirmation of rumours that have swirled around for the past few months. They’re here. They’re official! We welcome the new iPhone Xs and Xs Max, the upgrades from last year’s iPhone X.

There isn’t much that’s changed design-wise, except for a new gold finish. It looks similar to last year’s flagship. But it gets some specification bump that owners of older generation iPhones might appreciate. That or if you’ve been waiting for a bigger screen on an iPhone paired with better camera and battery life.

Apple welcomes ‘entry-level’ iPhone Xr

Entry-level might be a contentious term to call an iPhone but the new iPhone XR definitely the cheapest one you can get from the new iPhones that Apple just launched a few hours ago. Pricing starts at $1,029 for the 64GB version and it goes up to $1,239 for the 256GB model (you get a $1,099 128GB model, too). This cheaper iPhone model doesn’t scrimp much on the specs. You still get a large 6.1-inch display packed into the form factor of the iPhone 8 Plus’s 5.5-inch frame. Its battery life is said to last an hour and a half more than the 8 Plus’s. And it even uses Apple’s new 7-nanometer A12 Bionic chip, which powers the more expensive XS and XS Max. It also features the design last year’s iPhone X made popular: a notched, almost-bezel-less screen. But this time it comes in more eye-catching colors: White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Coral, and a (PRODUCT)RED version. It will also support a dual SIM setup through nano and eSIM combo and run on iOS 12.

Apple iPhone 9/iPhone XC gets pictured ahead of official launch

We’re not quite sure how Apple is approaching the naming convention for the new iPhones coming out at tomorrow’s launch but we seem to be getting a better look at one of the new phones. The “entry-level” 6.1-inch model that’s being called the iPhone 9 or iPhone XC (depending on who you ask) has been spotted in the wild. The back of an iPhone has been pictured (as you see above) and it looks to sport a single camera lens that looks larger than the one on the iPhone 8, so people are inferring that this must be one of the new phones. We’re going to hear more about this device and others tomorrow, September 12 at 10 a.m. PDT.
