Apple Introduces Three New Phones At An Exclusive Event
Continuing the growth spurt that made Apple the first trillion dollar company in the world, the phone company launched three brand new phones. The iPhone XS, iPhone XS MAX and iPhone XS, Apple’s new phones for the year 2018 are officially here! While the iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX are primarily the same, the iPhone XR is radically different in terms of size, shape and style!
Even though Apple has tried its hand at cheaper versions with the SE and the 5C (and failed,) these new variants are definitely up to the mark. Despite the iPhone XR being priced at a moderate price range (starting at $ 749,) the features are extremely similar to the other higher priced iPhones, such as the X and the eight.
The XS is faster and better than its predecessor in every possible way. The XS Max is too, except it now has a 6.5 inch screen. The XR, with an LCD screen (with slightly less impressive colour reproduction,) is still the same on the inside, just without a telephoto lens on the back. Even though the iPhone X and the iPhone XS MAX come with primarily similar features, the makers promise a better camera. as compared to the iPhone X. Why? Because of the power possessed by the A12 bionic chip inside!
What makes the camera all the more interesting is the camera’s algorithms can detect people’s faces and automatically correct any red eyes. Furthermore, the smart HDR feature can highlight and find shadow details at the same time. The depth of the portrait mode (called the bokeh effect) can also be adjusted not just while you take the photo but after you take the photo as well, giving you complete control over the blur effect! All editing happens in the photos app, through a slider!
The new iPhone series is definitely worth the wait, reinforcing the idea of a brand new world of smartphones and giving people something new and interesting to look forward to with the latest iPhone trio series. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX are going to be available for pre order on Friday!
