Big Fat Updates From Apple Launch Event

“How to plug gaps in technology?”

Am not sure whether I should call it an issue or a concern arising from every nook and corner of the world, wherein it is suggested that technology is evolving at a rapid-fire stage, but are the service providers really able to meet that gap?

Not sure of others, but Apple has definitely plugged this gap, with the interaction of the latest technologies and the features in the iOS.

Yesterday we updated you about the iOS latest launch which was supposed to take place at 10 pm IST, now we are here again to keep you informed about the latest iPhones which are all set to create a stir in the market along with the new version of Apple Watch OS 4.

The Watch OS was the very first device showcased during the launch event and it really carved a different story for the users.

• iPhone XS & iPhone XS Max

The two new iPhone models the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max, are here to change the way we interact with technology.

Calling it an update of Apple Flagship iPhone X

is not at all wrong.

What Are All The Features There?

• Both devices further have the 6.9B transistors, a six-core CPU, four-core GPU, and an upgraded 8-core neural engine.
• As far as the camera is concerned, both the iPhones have a dual-camera system on their rear. One of the cameras is a 12MP wide-angle camera, which has the new image stabilization sensor further supported by the 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. Also, they support blur adjustment, allowing the adjustments to be done to Portrait Mode after the image has been taken.

Cost & Shipping

The iPhone Xs starts at $999, and the iPhone X Max starts at $1099, but for the 512 GB model, it gets pretty expensive.

• iPhone XR

In the run of inimitable technology glare, Apple took a U-Turn, by introducing the tad affordable iPhone XR.

This certainly would be the most preferred iPhone device of all the time, as it has got the iPhone X-design, with 6 new colors which fits the budget as well.

What Are The Features?

• The rear front of the device holds a single lens camera setup of 12MP wide-angle camera and lacks Force Touch, but its camera makes it a perfect fit to capture the Portrait Mode images. On the front, it supports the True Depth Camera.
• The display doesn’t support the 3D Touch, but Apple has integrated the long-press ‘Haptic Touch’ feature.

On the other hand, the software update for the AI speaker, the HomePod, macOS Mojave- designed for MacBooks and other Macs, will be released on September 24th.

This was the quick recap of Apple launch Event and it has certainly left the tech-freaks from Techugo team and rest of the globe to look forward to these devices, which would not just entice the users, but would extend the technical advancements in the mobile world, to a new level.
