So, last Tuesday was the Apple event we have been waiting for all year. Some fans left impressed and astonished, while others left bored with old news.
To start off, we now have Apple Watch Series 3. Some models now finally have LTE bands in it, so you don't have to have your iPhone right beside you. According to the annoucement, it would still use your phone number, but is an additional bill added to your existing phone plan. It is powered by the Apple W2 chip, which Apple says it a lot faster than the previous series. Apple Heart Study was also annouced to monitor your heartrate on the device itself.
Cutting the cord fans will be happy to know that 4K is finally catching up as a feature of the new Apple TV, appropriately named the Apple TV 4K. iTunes will supposedly be upgrading all of its HD content, even if already bought on their online store, to comsumer 4K resolution. Only some small other features have been added besides that, such as HDR support and Dolby Vision.
Now, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It looks strikingly familiar if you own the 7. It features similar specs, but now upgraded with Qi-enabled wireless charging (finally). Because of this, both the front and back of the fragile phone are glass! Don't forget to get a case. The Apple A11 Bionic chip is now powering the device.
For what you were waiting for, the iPhone X was announced as well, as a "surprise" from Apple. It's pronouced "10," so don't call it "X"! The device features a mostly bezeless display, like a mix of those seen in the Essential Phone and Galaxy S8. Qi-enabled wireless charging and the new chip are also found here as well. Also, many features we have grown to love in Android-based smartphones are here as well, including face unlock and ambient light sensors. This device is the nost expensive, as the start it $999!
