Apple Watch Series 5 may not have more amazing update like Apple Watch Series 3 or 4 which bring Cellular and EKG features support respectively.

This Always-on Display is most under expected feature that people want on Apple Watch as many smartwatches already featuring this feature from starting, but finally, Apple brings this feature to Apple Watch as well.

Apple is really focusing on the Tablet industry in a time when every brand is shifting its focus apart. Apple really made a dent in the market by the inclusion of cheaper iPad in the market as many users are loving this device as it is capable of doing most of Laptop stuff in half of size and price. So why not bring a new version of iPad, Apple has unveiled the next iteration of 2018 iPad 9.7” by inclusion of iPad 10.2” which will feature a bigger display, iPad 2019 also has better performance thanks to A10 Fusion Chipset which feature in 2018 iPad also, Smart connector also made its appearance on iPad, while other hardware will remain same as previous-gen iPad.

iPhone 11: Trying To Remove “R” From It
Clearly iPhone 11 is the next iteration of iPhone XR, Apple finally gives some logical naming to iPhone which creates a sense of ease while buying a new iPhone. Apple iPhone 11 may say that Apple is trying to bring a cheaper version of iPhone but unfortunately, they still not defined the price of it, as features like OLED display, Fast Charger inside the box, Bigger Battery Life and 5G. As these features already present in a more cheaper version of other manufacturers. So, Apple has to do something to defined this price tag, as it is expected that 2020 iPhone 11 successor will have OLED or AMOLED display.
iPhone 11 is all about the camera, Apple really engineered a new way of capturing new a whole new perspective, iPhone 11 features Dual-Camera system on Wide-Angle Lens and an Ultra-Wide Angle camera with 120-degree of FOV. Unfortunately, no TOF (Time of Flight) Camera is present as it is expected because it may capture more detailed bokeh shots than current gen. iPhone.
Apple also provides their answer for Night Mode by including its own version of it but they haven’t shown any live demo about this feature so that people could observe whether it is better than Pixel’s or not. iPhone 11 is powered with A13 Bionic Chipset which really packs much more interesting stuff as Apple claims that they already featured industry-leading chipset in their iPhone which is two years ahead of their Android counterparts. A13 Bionic will provide faster performance day to day life and also consumes less battery. Due to this iPhone 11 has 1 hour more battery life as compared to Apple’s most longer battery life in iPhone XR.
Some under-hood feature include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, U1 Chipset which is called as Ultra Wide Band which works similar to Bluetooth beacon but more reliable it also help to faster connectivity between two iPhone while using AirDrop.
Pricing of iPhone 11 got dropped from $50 as compared with iPhone XR starting price, it starts from $699 for 64GB model up to $849 for 256GB which is $150 less than iPhone 11 Pro. Apple now finally learns that pricing still matter and they have to provide competition. iPhone 11 Pre-Order starts from 13 Sept and will be available by 20 Sept.
iPhone 11 Pro: Does Pro Makes Any Difference?
Apple iPhone 11 Pro comes with some really Pro features that actually doesn’t come in day to day use of normal user like it included new Triple Camera which is capable of capturing greatest images possible, user can shot Telescopic View up-to 3X, Wide Angle and Ultra-Wide angles shots. All these camera power require a really professional hand to capture such amazing details that Apple shows on the event. Apart from Photo Video has received several new features as a user can use all three cameras in single shots without having to stop and change camera lens.
Display of iPhone 11 Pro has really been invented from the ground up but some features are still missing like faster refresh rate display (ProMotion Display) which now becoming common on competitors phones. Apart from faster refresh rate, Apple has really evolved the display of iPhone 11 Pro as now, the brightness of the display reaches up-to 1200 nits which far more than any smartphone, Apple also add 2,000,000: 1 contrast ratio which gives more accurate image than any smartphone can possibly reach. Apple iPhone now has Spatial audio playback feature so that your content will really feel like it’s moving and it can also record.
Biggest improvement we have seen is in terms of battery performance, as Apple claimed that iPhone 11 Pro will have Four Hour more battery than iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro Max will have 5 hours more battery than XS Max. All these improvements happened due to iPhone 11 A13 Bionic Chipset which now features 8.5 Billion of Transistor and capable of handling 1 Trillion Task per second.
Color on the iPhone also gets changed as on the backside Apple provide Matt finish rather than glossy and also bring a new color Midnight-Green which is really looking awesome. Apart from new color iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max will be available in Gold, Space Gray, and Silver color models. Apple finally removes 3D Touch from the iPhone as they now use Haptic Touch this may be done so that they can use better screen usage rather than putting a force touch sensor.
iPhone 11 Pro will start from $999 for 64GB model up to $1349 for 512GB model. While iPhone 11 Pro Max will start from $1099 for a 64GB model up to $1499 for the 512GB model. Pre-Order starts from 13 Sept. and the device will be available from the store from 20 Sept.
