Apple’s worst-kept secret is its three new iPhone 11 models featuring that not so attractive triple-camera system on the back. Bloomberg shared more details about the highly-anticipated smartphones and revealed the company will be announcing updates to other devices as well.
There has been a lot of buzz around the next generation of the iPhone. The chatter specifically about its design and its triple-camera system located on the back of the phone. Thanks to Bloomberg, we now know what to expect the from the successors of the iPhone XS, XS  Max, and XR Models.

According to Bloomberg’s report, Apple will now be offering a “Pro” model that will serve as the upgrade to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The so-called Pro models will feature a new rear camera system equipped with a third sensor that will allow users to capture wide-angle photos as well as videos. The sensors will each take their own image allowing the artificial intelligence software to give you the best-combined picture. The resolution of the new camera will also reportedly be improved with the ability to take photos in low-light situations.

Video recording on the Pro iPhone will also be significantly improved. Users will not only be able to record video, but also edit, crop and add effects while filming. Another welcomed feature reportedly coming will be the ability to wirelessly charge your AirPods by placing the charging case on the back of the phone. Samsung Galaxy S10  and Galaxy S10 Plus owners have been enjoying this feature for some time now. No word if you will be able to charge other iPhones the same way, but it’s safe to assume that will be the case.

The new iPhone will look almost identical to its predecessor as far as its look cosmetically, but that’s where the similarities stop. They will come in more color options with some of sporting a matte finish. The phones will also be equipped with new shatter-resistance technology. The iPhone’s water-resistance ability will also be upgraded, allowing users to fully submerge their phones longer than 30 minutes.

The upgrade to iPhone XR will come with a second rear camera that will take improved portrait mode photos and add optimal zoom. It will also come in a new green finish.

Underneath the hood for all three iPhone models will be Apples faster A13 processors to not only power the phone but help them handle augmented reality features. There will also be rear 3D cameras that will improve the devices’ AR capabilities.

Apple is not stopping there, they will also be announced updates to the Apple Watch with the arrival of watchOS 6 software. Fans of the wearable can also expect new case finishes to be announced as well as ceramic and titanium models.

Bloomberg also hinted at those premium AirPods that will cost more than the current $159 model will be announced as well. The expensive AirPods will reportedly be water-resistant and have noise-canceling capability. No word on if the optional wireless charging case will come standard. They are slated for a 2020 release, so if you don’t want to pick up a pair of PowerBeats Pros right now you’re gonna have to wait a tad bit longer.

Last but certainly not least, there will be an 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros sporting camera and processor upgrades. Apple will also be doing away with the original 9.7-inch iPad replacing it with a less-powerful 10.2-inch design. The MacBook Pro will also see an update in size sporting a 16-inch screen while still remain close in comparison to the 15-inch model.

Apple Resurrects The iPad Air & Revamps The iPad Mini Ahead of March 25 Event

Apple Brings Back The iPad Air & iPad Mini With New Upgrades

Source: Apple

Ahead of it’s upcoming March 25 event where it is expected to launch its TV streaming service, Apple announced today (Mar.18) that it is resurrecting the iPad Air and breathing new life into the iPad Mini.

Both upgraded models when launched will feature for the first time keyboard and Apple Pencil support and will have iPad Pro features but at a much more affordable price.

The iPad Air will come in an “ultra-thin 10.5-inch design” sporting Apple’s A-12 Bionic chip with Apple’s Neural Engine giving it a “70 percent boost in performance and twice the graphics capability.” The advanced retina display alongside True True Tone technology is about 20 percent larger than it its predecessor and offering over a half a million pixels more pixels making it very similar to the iPad Pro the company unveiled back in 2017.

The iPad Mini is a much smaller offering with 7.9-inch design also utilizing the A-12 Bionic chip making it “a powerful multitasking machine” while delivering three times the performance and boasting nine times faster graphics. Despite coming in a compact package, the iPad Mini will also have a Retina display with True Tone technology which is now 25 percent brighter and offers users wide color support. According to Apple, the smaller tablet  will have “the highest pixel density of any iPad.”

Both devices will feature updated cameras for improved low-light performance and will feature advanced sensors for enhanced augmented reality experiences. Alongside the A12 Bionic chipset, both models will have longer battery life and work much faster than previous models.

As far as price, the iPad Air starts at a very reasonable $499 while the iPad Mini will cost $399 if you want to add phone service to that will cost you an extra $130. But for what Apple is offering in both devices these are a steal especially if you’re in the market for an iPad but don’t want to break the bank doing so. Both models are available for pre-order now and hit shelves next week.
