All about iPhone X. Face ID and the use of new cameras. Portrait mode on steroids

The flagship, analysts and researchers from UBI Research discussed the question of what the next generation Apple device will be like.

The release date of "Iphone 9" is planned, the start of sales in Russia will take place after the presentation at the end of September 2018.

From the review you will learn the expected characteristics of the new iPhone 9, how much the gadget will cost, photos and concept art, and other interesting facts will be presented.

As expected earlier Apple company, without breaking tradition, adheres to a one-year period for updating the main devices.

What will the new iPhone 9 be like?

An increased number awaits us RAM up to 8 gigabytes, new 8-core A12 processor with support for 64-bit architecture, made using technology similar to .

An improved 3D multi-sensor camera with optical stabilization, new biometrics capabilities, smart Siri comparable to the virtual intelligence of Hollywood blockbusters and much more.

According to representatives of UBI Research, the future smartphone will be equipped for the first time with a screen made using AMOLED technology supporting 4K UHD resolution.

This step will allow the new iPhone to be fully adapted to the technology virtual reality, which is in lately is gaining more and more popularity.

To implement this idea, the company's engineers will have to create a pixel density on display panels of 800 ppi. This nuance is important for connecting the future iPhone to a virtual reality helmet, which is also produced by Apple.

Concept art of the new iPhone 9

Since 2017, when the first flagship entered the world market, smartphone screens have been increased to five and a half inches. The pixel resolution has been improved by more than 6 times, to 1920 by 1080 pixels per inch.

But these achievements do not stop the company; the resolution will definitely be 4K in the near future, this will make the iPhone 9 the first smartphone suitable for virtual reality.

Possibility to bend in half

Cupertino residents are always one step ahead, the company is mastering new technologies and markets every day, all this taking into account the mistakes of competitors.

Thus, Samsung previously presented the concept of a folding smartphone, but the first experience was not entirely successful; the gadget was, on the one hand, similar to a modern but forgotten “clamshell” consisting of two screens.

According to Kolon Industries, the ability to easily bend smartphone screens will appear by 2020, a year after the release of the first bendable iPhone.

VR device compatibility

Back in early 2016, Apple received a patent for the production of its own virtual reality helmets; according to the idea, the gadgets will use the new generation iPhone as the main screen.

This will remind many of the Gear VR virtual reality glasses developed by Samsung, but in a more convenient and compact form.

The technology will allow you to display three-dimensional 3D images on the screen mobile device, which will be placed in VR.

The new screen on the iPhone means impeccable image quality and adaptability of the picture, which is close to reality.

5G communication technology

According to forecasts, in 2020 the fifth generation communication technology, the so-called 5G, will be introduced and distributed throughout the world.

There is an assumption that the new Apple phone will be equipped with the ability to support this kind of networks, characterized by ultra-high speeds, colossal throughput and very short waiting time.

But this news is still an assumption, since according to leading experts, 5G technology will only be released by 2025.

iPhone 9 review

On September 12, 2017, Apple released new smartphone called iPhone X, or how to correctly call it iPhone 10. Thus the company celebrated ten year anniversary existence of this product. The flagship received a completely new one, unlike any of the company’s current smartphones, but the screen and cameras deserve special attention. But let's talk about everything in order.

iPhone 10 Specifications

The characteristics of the new product really impressed everyone, both Apple fans and haters. Frameless screen, super powerful processor and other innovations shocked even the most obvious skeptics. Below you can see the detailed specifications of the gadget:

All information presented in the list is true. Now we will take a closer look at the features of the flagship.

Display

Cupertino equipped the Apple iPhone 10 with a frameless OLED display with a physical resolution of Super Retina 2436 x 1125 pixels, added support for HDR10, True Tone, as on iPad Pro, and 3D Touch. The maximum screen brightness is 625 nits, and its body-to-body ratio is 81.49%. The glass surface has an oleophobic coating that repels moisture and fingerprints.

Besides, new Super Retina display Allows you to view HDR content on Netflix and YouTube. With pixel densities of 458 ppi and DCI-P3 color space, iPhone X is designed to deliver a premium experience.

Hardware and operating system

iPhone X relies on absolutely new processor A11 Bionic, which has six 64-bit cores. They operate at nominal clock frequency 2.5 GHz and are equipped with a high-performance graphics accelerator. It also has an M11 coprocessor and a neural engine on board, the characteristics of which allow it to support machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The chipset itself is produced using a 10-nanometer process technology, which can significantly reduce energy consumption, but at the same time improves the performance of the smartphone. Thanks to Apple A11, iPhone 10 is faster than some MacBook Pro 13” 2017. Inside there is also 3 GB of RAM, 64 or 256 GB of internal memory to choose from.

This model iPhone comes with a pre-installed operating system iOS system 11, which will be released on September 19.

Cameras in iPhone 10

iPhone 10 received a pair of 12-megapixel main camera modules with a dual optical stabilizer. The first has an aperture of f/1.8, and the second - f/2.4. These are good indicators among the current mobile solutions. Front camera has a 7-megapixel lens with support for on-screen Retina Flash and HDR.

The main camera powers the smartphone's augmented reality capabilities. The ARKit tool is already available to millions of users, but the iPhone X takes this to the next level with its TrueDepth camera on the front and, obviously, on the back.

Autonomy

Inside the metal-glass case there is a Li-Po battery. Thanks to it, according to the manufacturer, the iPhone X lasts 2 hours longer than the iPhone 7. It will last 21 hours in talk mode, and 60 hours in music playback. Apple has equipped it with fast charging, although the included power adapter won't provide enough power. Therefore, we will have to buy a MacBook charger.

iPhone 10 sales start date in Russia and price

In many countries around the world, including Russia, the brand new iPhone X went on sale on November 3, 2017. A week before that, on October 27, pre-orders officially started. It is available in two different options case design: silver and “Space Gray”.

iPhone price X in Russia at the time of sales was 79,990 rubles for the basic configuration with 64 GB of internal memory, and the top configuration with 256 GB was priced at 91,990 rubles. For fast charging you will have to pay at least 3590 rubles. And wireless will cost about the same amount.

Other

The phone supports LTE 4G Cat.16, which means that maximum speed transmission leaves 1.2 Gbit/s. It also has on board fast wifi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and GPS/GLONASS. Of course, iPhone X is compatible with the system mobile payments Apple Pay.

Where to buy iPhone 10 cheaper?

The most profitable and reliable option is to buy an iPhone on AliExpress, while it costs 64,950 rubles there. Already 2147 people bought from this seller alone! After all, you don’t have to wait a month for it from China, since there is a TMall project that sells goods that have already been brought to Russia. So, if you are in Moscow, the courier will bring the phone on the day of order, and to any region the delivery time is from 2 to 5 days! This official telephone numbers With official guarantee from Apple.

But you can buy it even cheaper if you get cashback for your purchase using LetyShops.

But it fell in price not only on Ali, but also in other stores:
1. C-store - RUB 69,990
2. Beeline - 65,000 rub.(Taking into account, the discount is 5000 rubles using the promo code up to September 30!)
3. Messenger -

Hi all! New model The iPhone comes out every year and Apple strictly adheres to this rule. However, “once a year” is too vague a wording, don’t you think? Therefore, I propose today to find out the exact release date of absolutely everyone existing models iPhone. To collect, so to speak, all these numbers in one place.

For what? Firstly, it is always interesting to track how much time passes from the moment of presentation to the start of sales in Russia and the world. Secondly, such a cheat sheet can be useful to many (for me, as the author of a blog about Apple, certainly :)). Thirdly, why not? The content, in my opinion, is useful - let it be. Let's go!

For a clearer understanding, all information is presented in the table. A little explanation:

• Start date of sales in the world - by “world” we mean the countries of the so-called “first wave” (USA, European countries, etc.)
• The start date of sales in Russia is the beginning of sales of certified (PCT) iPhones.
• The iPhone 2G was not sold “legally” in Russia, but was the first official iPhone in the Russian Federation there is a 3G model (a little more about this).

As we can see, the increase in Apple’s loyalty to our country is very clearly visible. The timing of the appearance of gadgets in Russia, compared to the global start of sales, decreased every year. And by the time the “six” came out, they reached their apogee. The difference was only a week!

For comparison - official iPhone 3GS appeared in Russia after almost 9 months! At this time the whole world was already waiting for the “four” :)

And my opinion is that everything was heading towards Russia being included this year in the list of those countries where Apple devices appear first. However, this did not happen and we all know why:

• Dollar instability.
• Great prices.
• Low purchasing activity.

Well, let's wait and see and perhaps, specifically for the iPhone 7 model, a row with two identical numbers in the last two columns will be added to the table at the top :)

Updated! Well, with regards to the iPhone 7, miracles certainly didn’t happen, but Russia still got into the “second wave” of sales. In the Russian Federation, a brand new smartphone from Apple will appear only a week later than in the “first wave” countries. And that's very good! After all, the point is that starting with the iPhone 7S, our country should be among those who will receive it first.

Updated 2! Preliminary data (which are known immediately after the presentation) on iPhone release 8 and iPhone X have been added to the table. On at the moment Opinions differ only about the G8 - will Russia be among the countries of the “first wave”? Or will iPhone 8 sales in the Russian Federation start a week later than throughout the world? Let's wait for more accurate information... We have waited. Still a week late. But Russia was in the “first wave” iPhone sales X is very cool!

After you have decided to buy yourself an iPhone X, all that remains is last question. What color should I buy it in? Unfortunately or fortunately, this year the color selection of models is not at all large. Therefore, for some buyers the choice may become even more difficult.

In this article I want to talk about some nuances that will help you make your choice.

What colors does iPhone 10 come in?

This year, Apple can be said to have returned to its roots and released its flagship in only two colors: Space Gray and Sikver.

On the one hand, this campaign decision looks strange, since all previous models of recent years were produced in at least three color options. But the fact is that this year marks exactly 10 years since the release of the first iPhone. Therefore, most likely, Apple decided to remember traditions.

What color is the best iPhone X?

If you decide to buy an iPhone X, then I’m almost sure that you have doubts about what color to choose.

If a year ago the iPhone 7 was presented in as many as six color options, then this time our choice has been reduced to just two.

In this regard, there are perhaps two ways to solve this problem:

Buy any color. Looking at the front of the iPhone 10, you won't be able to tell the two models apart. Because from the front the smartphone looks exactly the same. On both models the front side is painted black.
So, if you like to carry an iPhone in a case, then you don’t care what color you buy the phone. Just take the one you like at first sight.

Choose silver color. Every year of apple from all color range chooses one model and it suddenly becomes scarce. This time the silver model suffered the same fate.

If you open the official Apple website, you will find almost all iPhone photos Silver colors. The model in Space Gray color this year does not look so beautiful and, to be honest, was made for an amateur.

Another disadvantage of the black model is that it gets too dirty and your fingerprints are very visible on it. Therefore, if you carry a smartphone without a case, I advise you to opt for the silver model.

Will iPhone X be available in other colors?

Even before the presentation there was a lot of information from various kinds of insiders that new flagship will be released in three colors. As it turns out, not all information leaks are reliable.

At the presentation, Tim Cook didn't say a word about other colors. But judging by the practice of past years, such a scenario cannot be ruled out. But I won’t get your hopes up, because at the moment there are no leaks or rumors about the appearance of additional colors.

P.S.

That's actually all I wanted to tell you about. I would like to believe that I helped you overcome doubts about what color to buy iPhone X or iPhone 10.

The beautiful iPhone X is the new future flagship smartphone from Apple that could soon be your future smartphone and yes, it looks very attractive.

The iPhone X (pronounced "ten") was announced at the renovated $2.5 billion Apple Park campus, and it's the ultimate flagship phone from Apple.

With a bold new design and a host of new features that are sure to please everyone from casual owners to gadget geeks. Let's clear up the big questions: Yes, it's worth buying, and yes, you'll be very happy with this phone.

Beautiful design made entirely of glass

For short time After spending time with the phone, I was most struck by the fact that the new iPhone X is not heavy, but definitely big phone, more than the Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7 with which I compared it. It fits perfectly and confidently in the hand; subtle, thoughtful, and unrealistically beautiful.

Gone is slippery aluminum rear end, which many complained about in previous versions, has been replaced. In its place is a completely glass surface (the back of the phone), although now, if you accidentally drop your phone, you can break both of its sides at once.

Incredible screen and new interface

Forget about the build, let's think about the display: the 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED screen with deep blacks so bright it looks like someone spilled paint all over iPhone screen X. I'm not usually a fan of icons, but here I could stare at them for hours.

The absence of a “Home” button is what it’s about for a long time some dreamed iPhone owners. This also allowed the use new interface. Swipe up on the panel to get to the Home screen, or pull down to get to the Control Center, which was previously accessible from the bottom. Swipe left and you get to the notification center, swipe right and the camera launches - or did I just accidentally click the camera icon?

Sure, these gestures are easy to learn, but they're not super intuitive. The lack of a feature like a Home button may confuse people who love the iPhone because it's easy to use. But I'll reserve my opinions on this until full review devices.

Lots of new features

What about hardware and new features? I want to point out that today's flagship smartphones have become little magical devices: they are powerful, beautiful, and smart. The iPhone X is no exception, there are simply a ton of new features, they are truly impressive, and with the help of them Apple strives to differentiate itself from its competitors. Remember that this is the “smartphone of the future”? And this expression applies entirely to software.

Many of the features that Apple has added to new iPhone, are familiar to us from other technology companies that previously introduced them to the market. But does it really matter? Ford didn't invent the car, Edison didn't invent the light bulb, and Apple didn't invent the smartphone. These are companies that simply did everything right, so history remembers them. So did Apple do it right?

Microsoft Windows Hello recognizes our faces on computers running Windows control 10, and in my experience it does it quickly. I didn't scan my face with new feature unlock on the iPhone X as I'm looking forward to testing the phone soon, but I've seen Face ID in action so I can say Apple has brought the same quick experience into phones.

The Galaxy S8 can also wake up quickly by reading the iris or through facial recognition, but infrared cameras and software, which read the contours of your face in real time, make Apple's implementation much more secure (and also more complex). Heck, it even works in the dark.

Nevertheless Windows performance Hello gets worse over time, in my experience. How will this work for Apple over time?

Wireless charging is another long-awaited feature that users will welcome on the iPhone X. Android phones have had this feature for several years now, and it is constantly improving. Still, can Apple do better? The new wireless charging pad appears to be a proprietary feature of the Qi standard, allowing the user to control multiple devices charging at multiple speeds simultaneously. Is the function Apple is the best or does she just do it differently?

Let's summarize

Apple has clearly hit the mark with the iPhone X. The bright OLED screen is gorgeous, the phone feels great in the hand, and the added power thanks to the A11 Bionic processor means it's responsive and powerful.

So should consumers spend $1,000 on a phone like this? Absolutely - Apple's new smartphone of the future could soon be your future smartphone, and if so, that future will look pretty bright.

Advantages

• Gorgeous 5.8" OLED screen
• Speedy Face ID face scanner function
• Brilliant design from edge to edge

Flaws

• Expensive
