1. Summary and analysis of the information about the three new iPhones

At 1am tonight, Apple will hold the 2018 Apple Fall New Product Launch Conference at the Steve Jobs Theater in California, USA. The launch time is 10am local time, which is 1am Beijing time on September 13. I believe that many technology fans are already "hungry" for this "Spring Festival Gala" in the technology industry.


First, let’s take a look at the comparison between the new and old iPhone series.

Let’s start with the three iPhones that are expected to be released this year. Since last year, there have been reports that three iPhones will be released at this year’s autumn conference. As time approaches, leaks from different channels have gradually pieced together the full picture of the three iPhones for us. Let’s summarize the information about the new iPhones.

1. iPhone Xs

According to the information, the new iPhone Xs will use a 5.8-inch OLED notch screen with a PPI of 458. It will also use a new A12 processor (TSMC 7nm), with a rear dual-camera and a front single-camera + Face ID solution, and will be equipped with the official version of iOS 12. There may be 6 colors to choose from: red, orange (chili orange), yellow, pink, and blue (cobalt blue). At the same time, it will have a rear dual-camera and a front single-camera + Face ID solution, as well as wireless charging and waterproof functions (IP68 level). ***By the way, the new iPhone Xs will also be equipped with ***4GB of RAM, which is half of Android's RAM. It can be said that it adheres to Apple's consistent tradition. Long live understanding.

Look at the color of the apple in the picture

This year, Apple may not only launch new color schemes, but according to China Telecom's posters, the iPhone Xs and Max will also launch dual-SIM dual-standby versions. It seems that after so many years of stubbornness, Apple has finally learned to respond to consumer needs.

At the same time, according to foreign media reports, the retail price of the new iPhone Xs is 899 pounds (about 7173.62 yuan). At present, the price of the high-end iPhone Xs will be higher than 10,000 yuan, and it is expected to be listed on September 21. Please prepare your kidneys.

2. iPhone Xs Max or Plus

Some online media said that this version is called iPhone XS, but I personally think that this news is not reliable, and this naming is too confusing. The new iPhone Xs Max has a screen size of 6.5 inches, a PPI of more than 480, and also uses an A12 processor, 4GB RAM, a rear dual camera and a front single camera + Face ID solution. The color scheme is the same as the iPhone Xs, with 6 colors to choose from. There is a dual-SIM dual standby version, support for wireless charging, waterproof (ip68) and three storage options to choose from, also 64GB, 256GB and 512GB.

The price of the best configuration has reached 999 pounds (about 7971.57 yuan), and the price of the high configuration of 512GB is expected to be over 10,000 yuan. It is expected to be listed on September 21. However, friends with a tight budget can take a look at the following one.

3. iPhone Xc or iPhone 9

Considering that everyone's wallet may be a little tight, Apple also provides a third option this time, that is, iPhone Xc. However, this iPhone Xc is not the "ancestral appearance successor" of iPhone 8. This iPhone Xc or 9 uses a 6.1-inch LCD notch full screen, supports Face ID, and also uses the new A12 processor, but the camera has been reduced and uses a rear single-camera configuration. Other information about the phone has not yet been revealed, but the launch time may be postponed to October. Friends who need it can consider it.

However, the theme of these Apple conferences is "It's time to reunite again", which means that this conference is an update of the entire product line, and the mobile phone is just a part of it. Next, let's take a look at the changes in Apple's reunited products. The first thing to talk about is the changes in the new MacBook Air series and Mac mini.

MacBook Air and new Mac mini

Let’s take stock of the changes in the new MacBook that may be released at the fall conference.

1. MacBook Air successor

According to foreign media reports, Apple is manufacturing a new MacBook notebook with two contract manufacturers, Guangda and Foxconn. The new MacBook will use a screen of about 13 inches. If nothing unexpected happens, this 13-inch MacBook should be the successor to the new MacBook Air that will be released at this autumn's new product launch conference.

It is expected that the new MacBook will adopt Retina display for the first time, saying goodbye to the previous "mosaic screen" era. In addition, the new MacBook may also be equipped with Intel Whiskey Lake or Amber Lake processors, support 802.11ac wireless network, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C interface and the new second-generation butterfly keyboard.

In terms of price, the starting price of this new Mac Book may be US$999, which is about RMB 6,835, which is the same price as the current MacBook Air.

2. New Mac mini

At the same time, there is news that the Mac mini, which has not been updated since 2014, will also be updated. The long-term stagnation of updates once made many Apple fans think that the Mac mini product line has been cancelled by Apple. However, in an interview at the beginning of last year, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of global marketing, believed that the Mac mini is still important to ordinary consumers.

This time, CNBC also listed some upgrade directions for the new Mac mini.

  1. Using the latest Intel Core i5 or i7 8th generation processor.
  2. An SSD hard drive is used to replace the 5400 rpm mechanical hard drive.
  3. Uses a graphics card with more powerful performance.
  4. May support modular accessory expansion.

The new Mac mini will likely cost more than the old one.

After talking about the new computer series that Apple may release at the press conference, let’s take a look at the rumored new iPad Pro.

3. New iPad Pro information summary and speculation

After the release of iPhone X last year, Apple proposed a new set of interaction methods for full-screen design. With the promotion of the new interaction method, Apple's iconic round home button gradually disappeared and was replaced by the revolutionary technology Face ID. After the iPad updated the iOS 12 beta system, we can find that the iOS 12 system for iPad has gradually moved closer to the full-screen iPhone X in terms of UI, which also reflects the design concept of the new iPad from another perspective: full-screen plus gesture operation.

Now, the new iPad is expected to use a narrow frame design. At the same time, the unlocking method will also use the same Face ID solution as the iPhone Xs, and may use the same gesture interaction system as the iPhone Xs, in line with Apple's design language for the full-screen era. The new iPad will be equipped with the latest iOS 12 official version system, equipped with Apple's latest A12 processor, and the configuration will continue to be upgraded compared to previous years.


The rumored iPad with notch screen

In a word, the promotion of Face ID and full-screen gestures in iPad represents that Apple has made a choice for the future interaction method. Apple has abandoned the past solution of physical buttons. Future mobile devices will abandon the past tapping interaction method. Future mobile devices will maximize the use of sliding gestures to simplify complex operating logic and maximize the efficiency of human-computer communication.

To improve the efficiency of human-computer communication, we must not only start from traditional smart device terminals, but also wearable smart devices are also an important part of improving efficiency. Let’s take a look at what changes have been made to Apple’s wearable device iWatch 4th generation.

4. Watch 4 | AirPower | Airpod 2

The new Apple Watch 4 may make some changes in appearance. It may adopt a larger screen and further reduce the frame. The display area can be increased by about 15% compared with the Apple Watch 3 released in 2017. While improving the screen-to-body ratio and display effect, Apple Watch 4 may also explore replacing physical keys with real-time vibration feedback. Reducing physical buttons can also bring more excellent waterproof and dustproof effects, and cooperate with Apple's unique TAPTIC ENGINE longitudinal linear motor to achieve better operational feedback. And by further reducing physical buttons, the battery capacity of the watch can be further improved.


The new Apple Watch has a higher screen-to-body ratio

The new Apple Watch may increase the screen-to-body ratio. According to a report by foreign media Sun, the new Apple Watch 4 may also use EKG technology, which allows the watch to determine the user's heart condition through electric current. Functional progress alone is not enough. The new Apple Watch may also make some breakthroughs in color matching, but no relevant news has been revealed yet.

Last year, Apple introduced a conceptual wireless charging pad, AirPower, at a press conference. This wireless charging pad allows users to charge multiple devices at the same time. However, the device has been delayed in its launch due to the inherent high heat generation problem of wireless charging. This device, which has been "delayed" for a year, is rumored to finally be available at the new product launch in September. According to reports, the maximum power of this wireless charging pad can even reach 29W, but this power is not achievable when charging a single device. From the current information, the charging power of a single device may be only about 7.5W.

This AirPower, which can charge multiple devices at the same time, not only looks powerful, but also has a very high price. It is rumored that the price of this AirPower charging board is around US$149 (about RMB 1,025). The new wireless charger is already in place, and AirPods, which let people get rid of the trouble of headphone wires, may also usher in a second-generation update.


AirPower Wireless Charging Pad

Compared with the previous generation of AirPods, although the earphones can be charged by putting them into the charging box, the charging box itself still needs to be connected with a data cable for charging. With the launch of Apple's official multi-device charging pad, AirPower, it is also feasible to wirelessly charge the AirPods earphone box. According to current news, this year's AirPods earphones will not only upgrade the processing chip to further enhance the speed and quality of wireless connection, but also add wireless charging function to the new charging box.

At the same time, foreign media reported that the new AirPods will have a simple waterproof function to prevent rain damage to the earphones. At the same time, according to a biosensor patent filed by Apple in July, the new AirPods may be able to measure your heart rate and synchronize the information with your iPhone to improve the accuracy of heart rate measurement. The price of the new AirPods will be similar to the current AirPods, with an estimated price of around US$159 (approximately RMB 1,092.65).

Written in ***:

Judging from the information leaked by various channels, the above products are the new products that Apple may release at this autumn product launch conference. Of course, the products have not yet been released, and most of the above information is speculation about Apple's launch conference through various clues, and the authenticity cannot be guaranteed. ***Hopefully, I hope that Apple's launch conference can bring us more surprises and lead the industry reform again.
