Apple Launches 3 New iPhone Phones

It’s that time of year. If you need a new iPhone, you should wait — because Apple is expected to announce its new phones in just a matter of weeks. This year, there have been a ton of rumors that indicate Apple will announce not one, not two, but three new iPhones: One with a larger screen, one that’s more affordable and one with three rear cameras like the Huawei P20 Pro.

Apple is expected to release a larger version of the iPhone X — the iPhone X Plus, perhaps — as well as a significantly less expensive version. It’s worth noting that price hasn’t been a major obstacle for the premium flagship so far. Though it’s the priciest iPhone ever at $999, the iPhone X was the best-selling phone for the first three months of 2018, followed by the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Of course, a less expensive version would almost certainly broaden its addressable market. Many months after the iPhone X’s release, however, the phone has lost some of its initial sheen.

In addition to refining the designs and adding in some new features, Apple is likely to deliver the annual enhancements we’ve come to expect — new build materials and colors, a bump in processing speeds, higher screen resolution and tweaks to extend battery life.

Meanwhile, the Android world continues to react and respond to the iPhone X. At its I/O event in May, Google showed off the new gesture-based interface at the center of its new Android P operating system. (For what it’s worth, Google says it started working on the new navigation before the debut of the iPhone X.) And then there’s Samsung’s AR Emoji and Intelligent Scan features — lesser versions of the iPhone’s Animoji, Memoji and Face ID that don’t quite measure up to the originals.

OnePlus, Asus, LG, Huawei and others have announced or are rumored to be working on phones that ape the distinctive notch design that Apple popularized (but with which the Essential Phone was first to market). And Huawei has already iterated on the notch concept with its P20, which gives you the option to toggle it on and off. Interestingly enough, Samsung has thus far avoided the notch even on its latest most advanced phone yet, the Galaxy Note 9.

With the Android world making strides in camera technology and other fronts, Apple can’t rest on its laurels. The trillion dollar question is whether the company can keep its amazing winning streak alive even as the overall market for handsets slows.

Though we’re likely two months out from seeing the next iPhone (and we don’t have any proof as to what its features will be), the rumor mill is already creating a compelling picture of what’s to come. We’ll continue to update this page with news and leaks as we begin our countdown to the 2018 Apple iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone X2, iPhone 11 or whatever the next generation may be called.

كشف تقرير حديث أن شركة «أبل» تستعد لإطلاق 3 هواتف ذكية جديدة، هي «آي فون 9» و»آي فون 11» و»آي فون 11 بلس»، في 12 سبتمبر المقبل.

وهو ما يؤكد التسريبات السابقة رغم اختلاف أسماء الهواتف.

وإذا ما كان هذا التقرير صحيحاً، فإن هاتف «آي فون 9» سيكون الإصدار الأقل من هواتف «أبل»، وسوف يمتلك مواصفات شبيهة بهاتف «آي فون X»، مثل شاشة «LCD» بقياس 6.1 بوصة، مع وجود مستشعر «Face ID».

ووفقاً لما نشره موقع «TOI» الهندي، فإن هاتفي «آي فون 11» و»11 بلس» من المنتظر أن يوفرا شاشات 5.8 و6.5 بوصة «OLED» على التوالي، مع إمكانية امتلاك كاميرا قوية متقدمة، إضافة إلى معالج «7nm A11 CPU»، ومنفذ شحن «USB-C» جديد تماماً.

وأشار التقرير إلى أن «آي فون 9» سيكون الهاتف الأرخص من قبل شركة «أبل» في عام 2018. ووفقاً لشركة «TrendForce» لأبحاث السوق، فإن أجهزة «آي فون» التي ستنتجها «أبل» في 2018 ستدعم قلم «Apple Pencil» وما يصل إلى 512 جيجابايت من وحدات التخزين الداخلية.
