This slight increase, despite the 6.5 inch heavy screen of the Max, is explained by the fact that Apple has removed its 3D Touch system.

09/26/18: The battery performance of the iPhone XS and XS Max are not comparable to those of the iPhone X from last year, despite claims by Apple.

Although the company claims that the iPhone XS should last 30 minutes longer than the flagship product of last year and the XS Max up to 90 minutes longer, Tom's GuideThe battery's endurance test seems to refute these claims.

The website revealed that the iPhone XS was running 9 hours and 41 minutes before turning off, while the iPhone XS Max had a life of 10 hours and 38 minutes, a average above 9 hours and 48 minutes on average. However, in comparison, the iPhone X lasted 10 hours and 49 minutes in an identical test.

Some people think that the poor performance of 4G could be due to the passage of the Qualcomm modc to an Intel modem, WiWavelength & # 39;Tests have shown that new iPhones offer disappointing radio frequency performance compared to previous iPhone models. The network blog points out that the performance problems experienced by some users are due to an "antenna problem", specifically related to low antenna gain.

Apple has not commented yet, and we still do not know if a software update could rectify the problem.

09/24/18: The demolition team at iFixit separated Apple's new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Plus, revealing the unusually shaped handset batteries and modems provided by Intel.

While engineers struggled to penetrate the devices because of their proprietary screws, reinforced anti-weather protection and brittle glass housings, they found some interesting details once inside.

"Apple's origami" battery sees the iPhone XS Max stuffed with two batteries, for example, Apple equipping the duo with cells of a notch to reduce stress on the corners of the battery. The dismantling also reveals that the new iPhones are equipped with Intel modems, Qualcomm's state-of-the-art qualified Apple technology ahead of the firm's ongoing legal battle.

In addition, iFixit unveils a new Apple brand power management chip in the iPhone XS Max, a more robust wide angle camera sensor and more powerful speakers.

Overall, iFixit gives the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max an overall repair score of 6/10, similar to last year's iPhone X.

09/17/18: Apple's oracle Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the demand for the iPhone XS 5.8in was lower than expected. In a research note seen by Apple InsiderKuo estimates that 5.8's flagship product has already experienced "poor demand," accounting for only 10 to 15 percent of new iPhone shipments.

The iPhone XS Max however sold according to expectations and accounted for 25 to 30% of new iPhones sold. Although the "one to two weeks" handset shipping times are shorter than those of "iPhone X from last year", this is likely due to improvements within the supply chain rather than a lax demand, according to Kuo.

The XS and XS Max screens both feature Super Retina resolution screens, which offer HDR, Dolby Vision and the notch that had debuted on the flagship product of last year. This is Apple's shaken Face ID technology, which the company now features as "the most secure face authentication ever made on a smartphone."

Under the hood, the new iPhone XS models are equipped with Apple's A12 Bionic processor, the first commercially available 7nm chip. The processor, which includes a four-core processor, a six-core graphics processor and a new-generation eight-core neural engine, promises to improve performance by 15 percent over the previous year's A11 chip. reduce energy consumption by 40% and support for real-time machine learning.

It has however not escaped the background treatment, with Apple equipping the low end smartphone with a screen cut to accommodate its Face ID technology, previously exclusive to the iPhone X.

The handset, inspired by the iPhone 5C with its jazzy color options, is made of aluminum and glass. It has a 6.1 LCD display & # 39; Liquid Retina & # 39; and offers IP57 certifications.

Although the iPhone XR ships the same A12 Bionic processor as the XS and XS Max, it lacks the dual-camera configuration of its more expensive siblings and instead claims a single 12 MP wide-angle lens. at the back. You will find the same TrueDepth 7MP camera on the front, though.

The iPhone XR also offers a dual SIM card with a physical card slot and a digital eSIM. In terms of battery life, Apple says you'll have an hour and a half longer than the iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone XR will be available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB configurations and in white, black, blue, coral, red and yellow.

09/12/18: Apple's iPhone XS, the direct successor to last year's iPhone X, was exposed in interactive images (below) a few hours from its official unveiling. A Weibo user has released images of the smartphone that will soon be unveiled, confirming that it will be almost identical to its predecessor with its notched screen and chamfered edges. The leak does not tell us much else about the iPhone XS, but we do not have long to wait for everything to be revealed.

09/11/18: The low-cost iPhone from Apple will apparently be available in limited quantities at launch due to "quality problems in terms of assembly and display". This is according to Ming-Chi Kuo (via 9to5Mac), supported by Bloomberg, which claims that the so-called iPhone XR will be launched "late September-early October" because of LCD backlight problems. According to both reports, these manufacturing issues will lead to supply constraints during the launch.

09/10/18: The entry-level 6.1in LCD entry-level iPhone could arrive as the iPhone XC, according to a presentation from the China Mobile operator, via Macotakara. The slide also leaves a doubt over the name of the OLED model entering the 6.5 version in Apple, suggesting that it will be called the iPhone XS Plus, rather than the XS Max.

The leak also claims that the so-called iPhone XC will cost around £ 540 during the launch, while the iPhone XS and XS Plus will cost £ 700 and £ 775 respectively.

09/07/18: The 6.1in incoming iPhone from Apple, whose iPhone 9 LCD is imminent, has leaked a series of images that confirm its availability in three color options: white, red and blue. On the other hand, the iPhone XS and XS Max should be marketed in white, gold and black variants.

The images that have leaked, that come with permission from SlashLeaks, also confirm that the iPhone 9 will have a dual SIM card tray, confirming rumors that the phone will be available in one. dual-sim variant.

09/06/18: Apple is expected to launch two new models of iPhone OLED next week: an improved 5.8-inch model to be launched as iPhone XS and a heavier 6.5-inch version called iPhone XS Max, according to 9to5Mac. This saves a previous report of Bloomberg, who claimed that Apple was considering removing the "Plus" tag from its 2018 iPhones.

9to5MacThe report, which has compiled information from multiple sources, adds that the iPhone XS and XS Max should include 4GB of RAM, compared with 3GB on iPhone X from last year, as well as 39, a new A12 chip and dual SIM options in some countries. .

09/03/18: A huge leak offered by 9to5Mac revealed that the new Apple OLED iPhones will arrive under the name "iPhone XS" and will be available in versions 5.8in and 6.5in. Incoming iPhones, previously known as iPhone 11 and 11 Plus, will also be available in a new gold color option (above), depending on the leak, and both will be published before the end of September.

08/30/18: The Apple's "affordable iPhone 9" will be postponed beyond September, according to Ming-Chi Kuo. In a research note seen by Apple InsiderKuo says that if the high-end OLED models will be available for purchase next month, the 6.1-inch LCD will be available later in the report.

There is good news, however, as Kuo expects the device to be powered by the same A12 SoC that will be found in the best performing models. The 7nm chip would offer performance gains of "20 to 30%" over the Apple A11 chip and offer better battery efficiency.

Unlike previous reports, Kuo also predicts that the new iPhone models will not support the Apple Pencil, the accessory "not currently offering a good user experience."

08/29/18: Apple seems ready to abandon 3D Touch of all its iPhones 2018. This is according to Blayne Curtis, an analyst at Barclays, via MacRumours, who says that It is "widely understood" that 3D Touch will be removed iPhones equipped with OLED screens in 2019.

This contradicts previous rumors of Apple's oracle Ming-Chi Kuo, who claimed that the 3D Touch would not be a feature of the 6.1 iPhone in the rumor, and could suggest that the three incoming models will not feature haptic screen technology.

08/28/18: Apple's 2018 iPhones are expected to deliver significant performance improvements, according to the Macworld, who looked at what we can expect from TSMC's 712 A12 chip.

On the basis of TSMC's own claims, and certain enlightened assumptions, Macworld indicates that it expects the A12 processor to deliver 20 to 30 percent performance gains over last year's Aion Bionic processor, with a 40 percent reduction in power consumption. d & # 39; energy.

He expects the 7-nm processor to conform to a six-core design, which will enable him to achieve a multicore performance score of around 13,000 in Geekbench 4. For single-core performance, he is likely to bring the score 4217 of the A11 to about 5,000.

08/21/18: Apple's 2018 iPhones will be available for pre-order in less than a month on September 14, according to a German publication Macerkopf. The website, citing two anonymous German operators, says the networks are preparing to start accepting pre-orders on Sept. 14, suggesting that Apple is planning an announcement later in the week, possibly Sept. 12. .

Last year, new iPhones were announced on September 12th, pre-orders were launched on September 14 and then released on September 22nd.

08/17/18: Taiwanese Publication Daily economic news has backed up reports that Apple's 2018 OLED iPhones will ship with the Apple Pencil Report. The site, which has received insider information from the industry, claims that the second-generation iPhone X and the 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus will be compatible with the Apple Pencil, but points out that the 6.1-inch LCD model will not be compatible with the stylus.

08/15/18: According to the TrendForce research firm, Apple's 2018 iPhones will offer Apple Pencil support and up to 512GB of built-in storage.

It is unclear whether these features, similar to those of Samsung's recently launched Galaxy Note 9, will be available on all three incoming or exclusive iPhones for high-end OLED models from Apple.

Unsurprisingly, these OLED models will be more expensive than the "trendy" 6.1 inch "iPhone 9" LCD, for which Trendforce has a starting price of between $ 699 and $ 749. The so-called iPhone X (2018) and iPhone X Plus will have starting prices of $ 899 to $ 949 and $ 999, respectively, according to the research firm.

The report confirms that both OLED models are already assembled, while the LCD budget model will begin to be assembled in mid-September, according to the dates announced by the September and October smartphones.

08/14/18: Another video featuring Apple's 2018 iPhones has been seen on YouTube (below), courtesy of DetroitBORG. The seven-minute video presents the new dummy units obtained by Sonny Dickson and refers to incoming devices such as the iPhone 9, the iPhone X (2018) and the iPhone X Plus. The clip does not hold many surprises, but the "fairly accurate" models show that the three new iPhones will feature a notched design to allow face identification. The "cheap" iPhone 9 LCD will feature a single-lens camera at the back, while its supposedly more expensive siblings will retain the dual camera system of the iPhone X.

09/08/18: Brands Brownlee, a well-known phone reviewer, gave us our best preview of Apple's 2018 iPhones, although it is referring, presumably accidentally, to 2019 models.

In a video posted on YouTube (below), Brownlee launches with the models of the so-called iPhone X2, iPhone X Plus and iPhone 9, confirming that the notch will be the same size on all models, and that the iPhone X Plus 6.5 inches will offer a smaller size. design as the current iPhone 8 Plus from Apple.

It also presents us the salient objectives of the three iPhones, with the iPhone X2 and X Plus, both equipped with two cameras, while the LCD model is associated with a single-lens rear camera. According to Browlee, this "cheaper" model will also be compatible with Apple's first-generation Face ID technology, while the iPhone X brand's model duo will switch to the company's second-generation technology.

08/07/18: We have seen many models of Apple's incoming iPhones, but thanks to a new leak of Slashleaks, we may have seen for the first time an iPhone 9.1 in real version.

The picture (above), which seems to have been caught in a factory, gives us a somewhat blurry look at the back of the so-called iPhone 9. If that is true, the leak confirms that the iPhone 6.1 LCD LCD will feature a more camera sensor large coupled with a repositioned double flash.

08/06/18: IPhone dual SIM announced by Apple will be exclusive to China, according to a report by Daily economic news.

The Chinese press, citing a source at Foxconn, says that the iPhone 6.1in LCD will be the only model to support this feature, the handset to be available in both single-card and dual-SIM models; the latter which, according to her, will be made available exclusively in China.

According to the report, Apple made this decision as it is common for Chinese to have multiple mobile phone numbers, with three to four billion consumers using two SIM cards.

08/03/18: According to Cohen analyst Matthew D Ramsay, Apple will not provide a 3.5mm Lightning adapter with its 2018 iPhones.

Cirrus Logic, which manufactures audio equipment for iDevices, released this week its forecast for the fiscal quarter, which according to Ramsey "almost confirm that Apple will not consolidate the" dongle "of the DAC headset converter in its new models. iPhone ".

Like Apple InsiderRamsay notes that the dongle will continue to come with older models of the iPhone, but not with the new Apple iPhone 9, Apple 11 and 11 Plus.

08/01/18: Apple's latest beta version of iOS 12 has revealed even more secrets, with references identified to the iPhone 6 Plus 6.5-inch.

Brazilian Apple news site iHelpBR discovered evidence in the fifth beta version of iOS 12 that seem to confirm that the device will provide a screen resolution of 1242×2688 and a support for the design of landscape applications iPad-esque. According to the excavations done on the website, standard applications such as Calendar, Contacts and Messages are already being optimized for a landscape presentation.

"Apple yesterday released the fifth test version of iOS 12 for developers." To our surprise, when running the new version with the supposed resolution of the iPhone XS Plus, it was possible to view the landscape mode applications as they appear on the larger models, " iHelpBR noted.

07/31/18: Apple released Monday the fifth beta version of iOS 12 for developers, which seems to confirm that the company plans to launch a dual SIM card iPhone model this year.

Spotted by 9to5Mac, a component of the system responsible for generating diagnostic reports includes new references to the "second SIM status" and a "second SIM tray status", while another component refers to a "dual sim device" ". This virtually confirms that a dual-SIM model will debut this year, although it remains to be seen when he will visit Blighty.

07/30/18: Twitter Tip Benjamin Geskin shared images of what he claims to be fake units of the iPhone 6.5 inch and the iPhone 9 LCD 6.1 inch (below).

The images, so legitimate, do not tell us much, we do not already know, but "confirm" that the iPhone LCD has only one rear camera, while the iPhone 11 Plus uses a two-device configuration similar to that of the iPhone X, not a triple-lens device as previously speculated. As one would expect, they also show the so-called iPhone 9 with glasses wider than those of his superior brother.

07/26/18: Qualcomm, which has just canceled its merger with NXP, confirmed that Intel would be the only modem chip provider for Apple's 2018 iPhones.

Qualcomm Chief Financial Officer George Davis confirmed on Wednesday: "Apple intends to use only its competitors modems rather than our modems in its next iPhone version, and we will continue to provide modems for his old devices. "

Davis has not named Intel, but the rival chip maker is the only other vendor of this component for Apple smartphones.

Apple's decision to drop Qualcomm is likely due to escalating tensions between the two companies, which have been battling a legal battle for more than a year.

07/25/18: L’iPhone 9 6.1 LCD, le moins cher des iPhones 2018 d’Apple, sera disponible en six couleurs différentes, selon le Macotakara.

Le gourou de la pomme, Ming-Chi Kuo, a déjà eu une prédiction similaire et a déclaré le mois dernier que l'iPhone à écran LCD serait proposé en options de couleur or, gris, blanc, bleu, rouge et orange. Macotakarad’autre part, prédit que les couleurs seront le blanc, le noir, le jaune éclair, l’orange éclatant, le bleu électrique et le taupe – toutes les couleurs des boîtiers actuellement utilisés par Apple.

La prédiction de Macotakara ne comporte pas de rouge, ce qui est logique étant donné que cette couleur est généralement réservée aux lancements d'Apple (PRODUCT) RED.

Cette gamme de couleurs pour iPhone 5C sera probablement réservée à l'iPhone 9, des rumeurs prétendant que les iPhone 11 et 11 Plus de 5.8 pouces et de 6.5 pouces ne seront disponibles qu'en trois couleurs: or, gris et argent.

19/7/18: Le chargeur rapide USB-C entrant d'Apple sera exclusif aux iPhones 2018, malgré sa compatibilité avec les versions antérieures.

C'est ce que dit le blog japonais Macotakara, qui signale que le chargeur 18W sera livré avec une connexion USB-C à Lightning, il ne sera pas disponible à l'achat séparément en raison de contraintes d'approvisionnement. L'offre initiale ne couvrira que les besoins d'Apple pour les iPhones 2018; les acheteurs devront donc attendre l'année prochaine pour acheter l'accessoire.

17/7/18: L'entrée en vigueur de l'iPhone 2018 d'Apple ne comportera pas d'écran bord à bord comparable à celui de l'iPhone X, selon des panneaux en verre présentant une fuite.

Les images publiées par l'informaticien Benjamin Geskin (ci-dessous) ont donné un premier aperçu des panneaux de verre sur lesquels figureraient les soi-disant iPhone 9, iPhone 11 et iPhone 11 Plus d'Apple.

Si légitimes, les images confirment que l’iPhone 9,1 pouces LCD 6,1 pouces à faible coût ne comportera pas d’affichage des modèles OLED 5,8 pouces et 6,5 pouces entièrement sans lunette, malgré le projet d’Apple d’adopter de nouvelles puces permettant de réduire le rétroéclairage afin de conception plein écran.

La fuite ne fait pas grand-chose d'autre, à part la confirmation que les trois modèles adopteront un design à encoche pour faciliter la technologie Face ID d'Apple.

13/7/18: Apple adoptera des puces réduisant le rétroéclairage pour son prochain iPhone LCD afin de l’équiper d’un écran plein écran.

Un rapport sur Digitimes affirme qu'Apple utilisera "exclusivement" les puces LED 0.3t du fabricant japonais Nichia pour son iPhone LCD 6.1 pouces, qui équipera l'appareil avec une luminosité similaire à celle des modèles LCD précédents, mais avec le même cache ultra-mince que l'iPhone X.

"Alors que les écrans de smartphone LTPS-LCD avec rétroéclairage utilisant des puces LED 0,4t ont des bords inférieurs de 4,0 à 4,5 mm, l'utilisation de puces LED de 0,3t peut les réduire à 2,0-2,5 mm, améliorant la compétitivité des écrans LCD par rapport à tous les écrans OLED (sans lunette). ) écrans ", explique le rapport.

Digitimes note que si l'utilisation de puces à LED de 0,3 t présente un risque technique accru, notamment en termes de précision et de stabilité, Nichia a "démarré avec succès la production" au premier semestre de 2018.

Selon des rumeurs précédentes, l'iPhone LCD d'Apple – qui devrait être le moins cher des trois iPhones entrants de la société avec un prix de départ de 700 $ – devrait être disponible dans les options de couleur grise, blanche, bleue, rouge et orange.

17/05/18: Apple envisage d'introduire jusqu'à cinq nouvelles options de couleur avec sa gamme d'iPhone 2018.

Du moins, c’est ce que rapporte un analyste renommé, Ming-Chi Kuo, vu par 9to5Mac. Il affirme que l'iPhone 6,5 pouces OLED, qui devrait arriver sous le nom de l'iPhone X Plus, sera offert en noir, en blanc et en une nouvelle option dorée.

Selon Kuo, le iPhone 6.1 LCD «d'entrée de gamme» devrait faire ses débuts dans d'autres saveurs de gris, de blanc, de bleu, de rouge et d'orange.

As noted by 9to5Mac, la référence aux modèles «gris» et «blanc» pourrait être un clin d'œil aux finitions Space Gray et Silver actuelles d'Apple, tandis que le modèle rouge supposé pourrait faire partie de la gamme PRODUCT (RED) d'Apple – bien que ces modèles arrivent généralement des mois après un iPhone a été lancé.

On ne sait pas encore si le successeur de l'iPhone X 5.8in sera proposé dans de nouvelles variations de couleur.

Dans sa note de recherche, Kuo relève également ses prévisions concernant les ventes d’iPhone. Il s'attend à ce que l'iPhone LCD, moins cher, compte pour 55% des ventes lorsque le nouvel iPhone est lancé et prenne encore plus de parts d'ici 2019.

Il s'attend clairement, lui aussi, à une augmentation de la demande et prévoit une croissance significative d'Apple avec des ventes de 70 millions d'iPhone au quatrième trimestre.

4/7/18: Images postées sur le blog chinois Chongdiantou prétendre montrer le chargeur USB-C qui sera livré avec les iPhones de cette année.

Les images nous donneraient un aperçu d'un "échantillon technique" du chargeur USB-C de 18 watts, qui devrait également être fourni avec les iPads entrants d'Apple.

Bien que l’étiquetage ne corresponde pas au style habituel d’Apple – suggérant que cela pourrait être un accessoire tiers en provenance de Chine – le design du chargeur correspond à des fuites antérieures, ce qui donnait à penser que l’accessoire 18W serait de forme ovale et offrirait une clé USB-C. contribution.

Alors que l'iPhone 8, 8 Plus et l'iPhone X offrent tous une prise en charge du chargement sans fil, Apple ne propose pas actuellement les accessoires pour l'activer. With third-party accessories, though, USB-C fast chargers can just an iPhone from empty to 50 per cent in less than half an hour.

3/7/18: the iPhone X Plus has cropped up on Geekbench, confirming that it'll offer a decent upgrade under the hood.

The handset, referred to as the 'iPhone 11,2' in the Geekbench listing first spotted by BGR, will come equipped with a new six-core CPU (D321AP), 4GB RAM (1GB more than the iPhone X) and Apple's iOS 12 software, which has a major focus on performance.

The aforementioned CPU will likely be Apple's homegrown A12 chip, built by TSMC, which is expected to be the industry's first 7nm chip, which will – in theory, at least – offer more speed and better efficiency than the 10nm chips found in current iDevices.

That rings true in the Geekbench scores, as the so-called 'iPhone 11,2' trounced Apple's current iPhone X flagship with a single-core score of 4673 and a multi-core score of 10,912.  The iPhone X, for comparison, scored 4206 and 10,123, respectively.

2/7/18: A video showing alleged dummy models of Apple's 6.1in 'iPhone 9' and 6.5in 'iPhone X Plus' has surfaced online.

The video (au dessous de), sent to 9to5Mac by tipster @shaimizrachi who has shared accurate dummies for iPhones in the past, shows off the duo of incoming devices next to current iPhone models, including the flagship iPhone X.

Cases from accessory maker Sketch are also shown in the video, suggesting that case companies are already started making designs ahead of an official announcement from Apple in September. Probably, at least.

The iPhone 9, as expected, appears to have a single camera on its rear, adding weight to rumours that it'll be Apple's entry-level offering this year. Earlier rumours also point to a 6.1in LCD screen, with Apple opting against OLED in order to keep the cost of the handset low.

The iPhone X Plus appears to be the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus it's stacked up against, despite packing a larger 6.5in screen. This is because Apple has ditched the large bezels seen on its Plus-sized model in favour of its notch-equipped, iPhone X design.

The audio-less video also appears to show a dual camera setup on the rear of the so-called iPhone X Plus, despite some rumours pointing to a Huawei P20-esque triple-camera setup.

The video does not show the expected 5.8in OLED model, but Mizrachi has teased that "another surprise" is coming.

29/6/18: Apple has reportedly roped in LG to supply OLED screens for its 2018 iPhones in a bid to lessen its reliance on Samsung.

the Morning of South China reports that LG Display will initially supply Apple with between 2 and 4 million OLED screens, small fry compared to how many tens of millions of iPhones the firm likely will produce, as it "continues to work on ramping up capacity".

However, LG – which is reportedly considering opening a new OLED production factory in the Chinese port city of Guangzhou – has bigger ambitions though, and is reportedly looking to secure all OLED orders for one of Apple's 2018 iPhones, likely the 6.5in iPhone X Plus.

Such a move would help Apple to lessen its reliance on Samsung, which is currently the sole supplier of displays for the iPhone X and has been linked to the smartphone's £1,000 starting price. However, on the other hand, LG's OLED displays have previously received lacklustre reviews – particularly when it comes to the bork-ridden screen on Google's Pixel 2 XL.

"Securing a second supplier for OLED screens is crucial for Apple as it will allow the company to reduce its reliance on Samsung, which is currently the sole supplier," said Jerry Kang, a senior principal analyst at IHS Markit.

"At the same time, it will help accelerate a broad adoption of OLED screens. More suppliers means more volume, and in turn, lower pricing."
