Released on the 10th anniversary of its first iPhone model, iPhone X appeared discontinued as the company did not provide a new price for the smartphone at its annual event in Cupertino, California.<\/p>\n
The iPhone SE and iPhone 6s also appeared discontinued.<\/p>\n
The iPhone X was the firm’s first smartphone with an edge-to-edge display, was also removed from the company’s website.<\/p>\n
CEO Tim Cook dubbed iPhone X as “the number one smartphone in the world” at the beginning of the event, and said the device has 98 percent customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n
The new models, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, both have edge-to-edge display like their predecessor with a super retina OLED display.<\/p>\n
They carry Apple’s new A12 Bionic chip, in addition to 12 megapixels of rear camera and 7 megapixels of front camera, and will support dual-SIM technology enabling users to carry two networks in a single device.<\/p>\n
The new models will have 64 GB, 128 GB and 512 GB options with gold and space gray finish. They will be ready for pre-order on Friday and will ship Sept. 21.<\/p>\n
The iPhone XS has a 5.8-inch display and starts from $999, the same price of iPhone X. It has a battery life of 30 minutes more than its predecessor, according to Apple Head of Marketing Phil Schiller<\/p>\n
The iPhoneXS Max has a 6.5-inch display, the largest in Apple’s history for a smartphone, and pricing begins at $1,099. It has a battery life 90 minutes longer than iPhone X.<\/p>\n
As for the older models, the price of the iPhone 7 was lowered to $449 and iPhone 8 to $599.<\/p>\n
– New cheaper model<\/p>\n
Apple said its third new smartphone, iPhone XR, will start at $749. It will be ready for pre-order on Oct. 19 and will begin shipping a week later.<\/p>\n
Cook said Apple wants to reach to more users for the iPhone, which explains the relatively lower price of iPhone XR and a different screen technology.<\/p>\n
Instead of a super retina OLED display, the device has a 6.1-inch liquid retina LCD screen, but still has an edge-to-edge display.<\/p>\n
As with the other two new models, it is equipped with A12 Bionic chip, in addition to 12 megapixels of rear camera and 7 megapixels of front camera.<\/p>\n
While its battery is 90 minutes longer than the iPhone 8 Plus, the device will be available in six color options — white, black, blue, coral, yellow and red.<\/p>\n
– Apple Watch 4<\/p>\n
Apple also changed the screen design of its new smartwatch, Series 4, which now has an edge-to-edge curved screen that is 32-35 percent larger than the Apple Watch Series 3.<\/p>\n
The speaker is also 50 percent louder and the microphone is moved away from the speaker to prevent echoes, Apple said.<\/p>\n
Apple Watch Series 4 can detect low heart rate, scan heart rhythm, but more importantly can take an electrocardiogram (ECG) in 30 seconds with a single push of a button, the company said.<\/p>\n
Users can store ECG results in iPhones or iPads, and send to doctors, according to the Apple.<\/p>\n
The new smartwatch can also detect falls, delivers an alert and call emergency services, Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams said.<\/p>\n
The watch will start from $399 for GPS model, and from $499 for cellular model. Like the new iPhone models, it will be ready for pre-orders Friday, and shipped Sept. 21.<\/p>\n
The price of the Apple Watch 3 has been lowered to $279.<\/p>\n
