It happened, two weeks after the new devices were introduced, official images of the iPhone that Apple will present and the new generation Apple Watch has been obtained. On September 12 Apple will officially unveil these new products in the Apple Park (and we will be there to tell you live). However, in the meantime, it is a good time to do a compilation of everything we know about this new flagship product of the company, the iPhone XS.
If we take into account the filtered promotional images, some discoveries in the source code of iOS 12 and the reports of several analysts, we can get a general idea of this next iPhone.
Features of the possible iPhone XS
These are some of the most relevant details that have been revealed so far:
Name of the new iPhone
The official name that Apple assigns to the products is difficult to predict and filter, as we have already seen. However, from 9to5mac they were finally able to confirm the official name they will receive thanks to the images obtained. It will be called iPhone XS (pronounced "iPhone ten S"). As indicated by Bloomberg earlier, Apple may remove the "Plus" label for the mode of May size, similar to what happens in the iPad Pro or MacBook Pro.
Performance
Following a logical line, the iPhone XS will incorporate an A12 chip designed by Apple to replace the A11 Bionic. It is expected to be the first to be built at 7 nanometers, something that improves speed and efficiency. On the other hand, it will probably incorporate 4 GB of RAM and a proprietary Apple chip.
Colours
The colours are probably the two that we currently have on the iPhone X: silver and space grey. But in addition a third colour would be added, the gold, as it has been seen in the promotional image.
Camera
The "s" models of Apple have generally improved the camera, this year is expected to have considerable improvements according to Mark Gurman. Just do not expect the third lens at the moment.
Size and screen
One of the most rumoured and known aspects from the beginning is the size of these products. The smaller model will have exactly the same size as the iPhone X, while the larger will have one similar to the iPhone in Plus version. In other words, 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7 mm with a 5.5-inch screen on the smaller iPhone XS. And 157.53 x 77.44 x 7.85 mm with a 6.5-inch screen on the larger iPhone XS. The resolutions, if my calculations do not fail me, would be 2435 x 1125 px at 458ppp and 2688 x 1242 px at 458ppp respectively.
Availability
The release date we have confirmed, next September 12. Not yet confirmed anything. My predictions: on September 14 the reservations are opened, on September 18 iOS 12 arrives at all the iOS users and on September 21 the first iPhone XS is sent to its owners.
Price
Nothing more controversial in Apple products than its price. On this occasion, it is expected that the reference price will be $ 999, from there several prices above and below. The $ 999 would correspond to the larger iPhone XS with base specifications, and we would have the smaller iPhone XS at $ 899 (100 less than the current one). The price would increase by about 100 dollars depending on the storage we choose.
