INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The iPhone XS is the name of Apple's new iPhone for 2018, and the photo above is our first look at it in two different sizes, according to a
convincing new leak.The photo in question depicts the 5.8-inch iPhone XS and 6.5-inch iPhone XS Plus, according to an exclusive report from
9to5Mac, and both have OLED screens.Update: In addition to the iPhone XS news, we've given the release date and price section an overhaul
based on new rumors and existing speculation
weeks before Apple is expected to announce its new smartphones at the Steve Jobs Theater on Wednesday, September 12.We expect there to be
three new iPhones: the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus, and a 'cheaper' 6.1-inch iPhone with an LCD screen
It may simply be called 'iPhone'.Previously, iPhone rumors called these phones the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Plus, and the cheaper iPhone 9
almost certainly be announced on September 12 and we'll get our first glimpse of it at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in San Jose,
No surprise, this was where the iPhone X launched last year.This launch event date means the actual iPhone XS release date is likely to be
Friday, September 21 or Friday September 28
That's when, at midnight, you can expect the iPhone XS pre-order date and time
In the US, this means 3am Eastern, because Apple launches pre-orders at midnight Pacific, its home time zone.Keep in mind, the iPhone X came
This is going to cause some people, especially in the US, a problem when trying to upgrade on a year-long plan
However, Apple and carriers may have a solution on September 12, with incentivized iPhone trade-in options.iPhone XS priceiPhone XS price
think think 'why not'There have been rumors that not all iPhone 2018 models will ship in September
The cheaper LCD 6.1-inch iPhone may slip to October, say some reports
Plus in gold (new), black and white6.1-inch iPhone LCD inwhite, black, red, blue and orangeThe iPhone XS photo depicts two phones, and both
appear to be in the new gold color that's been rumored for several weeks
We're expected the new iPhones to have three color options: gold, white, and black.We've actually seen a gold iPhone in 2018, only it was an
iPhone X that Apple is said to have canceled at one point prior to the iPhone launch last year
It showed up in some government regulatory filings, so we have a good idea of what gold iPhone XS will look like.Besides the Plus size and
the fresh color choice, you won't notice other differences between the iPhone XS and the current iPhone X
It's expected to have an identical stainless steel frame, while the cheaper iPhone for 2018 may have a aluminum frame, like the current
iPhone 8, and it may come it as many as five colors: white, black, red, blue and orange.iPhone XS size and designiPhone XS may be the same

upgradesGet ready to use your iPhone with two hands again, because the iPhone XS Plus is going to be a monster phone with a 6.5-inch screen
But it won't be too big.Apple has wiped away the needless bezel at the top and bottom (and axed the home button) in the upgrade to the
So the screen size is a bit misleading if you're moving from the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 8 Plus
It's not a full inch bigger.A bigger screen, but smaller body for the iPhone 11 Plus (credit: Forbes / Ghostek)In fact, the dimensions we've
seen rumored point to an iPhone XS Plus size that's either matching or smaller than the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus
One schematic (above) suggests dimensions of 157.2 x 77.1mm.An older rumor puts the iPhone XS Plus at 158.4 x 78.1 x 7.7mm, only 0.2 inches
This is thought to be because of a larger rear camera sensor and lens
Anticipate camera improvements.iPhone XS specsApple A12 chipset likely to provide a speed boost512GB of storage may be the new max size (and
a maxed out price)Some models may see 4GB of RAM, others may stay at 3GB of RAMAll three new iPhone are thought to have the A12 chip, a
natural upgrade to the A11 Bionic chip that appeared in all three of last year's iPhone models
See the patternApple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the iPhone XI might support faster mobile data speeds and come with a dual-SIM card
means iPhone users could finally be able to benefit from two SIMs in one phone.And he's said separately that Apple will probably exclusively
use Intel modems for 2018's models, rather than splitting the order between Intel and Qualcomm.Apple could launch these three phones this
year (credit: KGI Research/MacRumors)We've also had other hints at the iPhone XI's power from a benchmark, which shows an unnamed iPhone as
having 4GB of RAM and a 2.49GHz hexa-core chipset.Apple never details the RAM, but we could see an upgrade here, too, from 3GB in last
year's iPhone, to 4GB in the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Plus
The company historically leaves one model behind, so we expect 3GB of RAM on the cheapest iPhone
We won't know this information until someone does a teardown on the release date.Apple may add to the existing internal storage sizes,
giving us 64GB, 256GB, and the new 512GB for the iPhone XS
That's bigger than most laptop solid-state hard drives
The cheaper 6.1-inch iPhone may stop short of that, with 64GB and 256GB sizes.iPhone XS cameraThe iPhone XS camera may be a big highlight,
but we don't know much about it
Kou predicts that both sizes will have a dual-lens rear camera, while the cheaper iPhone (the one with an LCD screen) will be the one with a
single-lens rear camera.Photos from the dual-lens camera are expected to be 12MP, with one telephoto lens and one normal lens, both with
optical image stabilization (no change here)
The difference may come from the backend software
Samsung, Google, and other Android phone makers have enhanced photos with machine learning, and Apple's iPhone X camera has fallen behind in
our tests, especially in low-light situations.On the front, all of the iPhones are undoubtedly going to sport a TrueDepth camera, and that's
obvious because none of them will have a Touch ID home button
The last iPhone to use Touch ID will be the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.We could see more depth-sensing features from the front-facing selfie
camera, with a recent Apple patent pointing to a single-lens camera system that has dual-lens-like features
The question is: will this tech be ready for the iPhone 2018 or iPhone 2019iPhone XS and iOS 12iPhone XS to launch with iOS 12 out of the
boxiOS 12 may launch on older iPhones on Tuesday, September 18Expect features exclusive to the larger iPhone XSOn September 12, in addition
to see the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Plus, we're due to find out the official iOS 12 release date
usually ones that have to new with hardware and sensors that would tip off new iPhone models in the works (see: Animoji was a secret until
the iPhone X launch event).With the introduction of the iPhone XS Plus, we could see some exclusive changes that give the larger 6.5-inch
There are some large-screen app interfaces reserved for the iPad, namely Mail and Messages, that give you more information on the screen
charger may finally be included in the boxYour next iPhone may have longer battery life, especially if you opt for the larger 6.5-inch
Ming-Chi Kuo says it'll be 25% bigger than the iPhone X.That puts the 6.5-inch iPhone XS battery capacity at 3,300mAh or 3,400mAh, a sizable
increase over the iPhone X (which sits at just 2,716mAh)
The 5.8-inch iPhone XS may see a much smaller increase of 10%.Charging your iPhone may be easier, too, as iPhone XS leaks suggest that Apple
will include a fast charger in the box
Right now, this is a separate purchase (and we've been using our MacBook Pro charger with a Lightning-to-USB-C cable for it).We've now heard
that more than once, but the latest reports suggest that you won't be able to buy it separately - so if you want Apple's new fast charger
you might have to buy a new iPhone to get it.ajqD7YNkWexkHTZfysppsX.jpg#
