Looking forward to the presentation of the new models of iPhone this fall? Well, it looks like Apple is planning to cater to all users without exception, presenting several models of gadgets. According to rumors, the company from Cupertino is going to announce as many as three devices, one of which will be the smartphone with the wide screen over the entire history of the iPhone — 6.5 inches. The second device will be an improved iPhone X, and the third budget smartphone with some features of the iPhone X.
In 2017, Apple has provided us with a natural update of the standard line of smartphones iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and Deluxe frameless device called the iPhone X. Despite a number of innovative features that was given a commemorative model of a smartphone, Apple was left disappointed with his sales. It is not surprising, with the cost of the device, starting from $ 999, and a number of problems with iron, it was quite expected.
For the last quarter of the 2017 financial year (which ends in March 2018), the company managed to sell 77,3 million smartphones, which is 1% less than in the same period a year earlier. Despite declining sales, the increased cost of the gadgets brought by Apple on 13% more than last year. Today, according to Strategy Analytics, the company owns 51% of the profits of the entire smartphone market, and this result can be considered truly outstanding.
All three new Apple smartphone will be running iOS 12. And they will necessarily support the function of augmented reality thanks to Apple ARKit. Also, the new version of the operating system can boast of even more deep integration of voice assistant Siri and new functions of monitoring the health of the owner. The largest model of iPhone carries the code name D33 (according to information which came into the hands of Bloomberg) and is aimed at those users who prefer to work in multi-window mode on one screen.
Despite the high cost of OLED displays, Apple isn’t going to completely abandon their use in their smartphones. They allow you to achieve better resolution, as well as reduced energy consumption, which for the company is very important parameters. Of course, not going anywhere, and the facial recognition system Face ID, first presented last year. New 6.5-inch smartphone will be able to compete with similar phablets from other manufacturers, for example, with the Galaxy S9 Plus (6.2 inch) or the Galaxy Note S8 (6.3 inches). Budget iPhone model will differ from the iPhone X just a cheaper display, made by other technologies. It will be interesting how much it will cost in the end. We can only wait for the official presentation and learn everything first hand.
