Hello, On September 10th Apple has there Annual Special event that many now call the Annual iPhone event. Here I’m providing a quick recap and my opinion of it.
It started off small with Services, Apple reminded us all that they are going to be launching Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade soon. They finally confirmed the launch date and the prices. Apple Arcade will be £4.99 per month and Apple TV+ will also be £4.99 and this is for the whole family not just one user. Which sounds pretty decent. Inspecially for Apple Arcade, I’m still not sure on Apple TV+ but Apple are being generous with it in fact when you buy an iPhone, iPad or Mac you get a whole ONE YEAR subscription to Apple TV+. It will be very interesting to see how it pans out.
Apple Watch Series 5
Apple have announced there newest generation of Apple Watch which is very similar to there previous 4th Gen. New features include the Always on Display and a built in compass. I’ll be going in to more detail with these later on.
iPhone
Apple announced the iPhone 11 coming in new 6 colours. Purple, Green, Yellow, Black, White and Product Red. With a 6 inch LCD screen and Haptic feedback it does feel very similar to the iPhone XR. Expect this one has two cameras on it 2 Duel 12mp Camera. One is Wide and one is the new Ultra Wide.
Apple also announced the new iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. This comes with the new A13 Bionic chip (Which is also in the new iPhone 11) and features THREE cameras. One 12MP Wide Camera, One 12MP Ultra Wide Camera and a 12MP Wide camera.
Both new phones look absolutely amazing and I will be going in to much more detail with these in a new blog post just all about the iPhone 11 soon.
With the new iPhones often come the controversy regarding pricing and this year Apples iPhone range seems to most competitive yet! This is the line up:
iPhone 8 - £479 $449
iPhone XR - £629 $599
iPhone 11 – £729 $699
iPhone 11 Pro – £1049 $999
iPhone 11 Pro Max - £1149 $1099
The apple event this September was exciting and yet disappointing, I thought they would Announce USB-C. They did not and no mention about 5G what’s so ever. (This was expected however) We saw Apple innovate there way to the “Slofies” these are selfies created with the new slow motion front camera on the iPhone 11 range. I’m super sad to see no appearance of the Apples own Tile devices. There is still time but I feel like it is unlikely.
