Apple also announced the evolutionary iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus; a cellular-capable Apple Watch Series 3; and the Apple TV 4K, which supports 4K HDR video. The company said that iOS 11 and watchOS 4 would ship on September 19th, and later noted that macOS 10.13 High Sierra would arrive September 25th.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus Add Wireless Charging<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than calling the new model the iPhone 7s, Apple jumped to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone-8\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPhone 8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> name to acknowledge significant hardware changes, notably a mostly glass case designed to allow wireless charging. Otherwise, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus largely follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, featuring the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens, respectively. They\u2019re almost the same size as the previous models, varying only by fractions of a millimeter in different dimensions, and are water and dust resistant too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5280 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-iPhone-8-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"493\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/493;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5281 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-AirPower-1024x981.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"277\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 289px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 289\/277;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the iPhone 8 models still sport a Lightning port (and come with a headphone jack adapter), you\u2019ll charge them by setting them on a charging pad based on the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qiwireless.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi wireless charging standard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Qi is pronounced \u201cchee\u201d). Furniture retailer IKEA has even built such chargers into some of its tables. In 2018, Apple plans to release an AirPower charging mat that will charge an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 3, and AirPods with a new charging case\u2014all with no cables. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus screens now support Apple\u2019s True Tone technology, which changes brightness and color based on the ambient light. Plus, their stereo speakers are 25% louder than in the iPhone 7 and have deeper bass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the hood, the iPhone 8 models include a new A11 Bionic chip that Apple claims is the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone. The chip\u2019s performance will particularly benefit games; apps that rely on machine learning; and apps using augmented reality, which can seamlessly place virtual objects in live video of the real world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the basic rear-facing camera in the iPhone 8 is still 12 megapixels, it uses an all-new sensor that captures 83% more light and provides deeper pixels, a new color filter, and optical image stabilization, all while using less power. That adds up to pictures with better color saturation, a wider dynamic range, and lower noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 Plus sports dual 12-megapixel rear-facing cameras, one with an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0192<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/1.8 aperture and the other at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0192\/<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.8. Those cameras have the same new sensor, and iPhone 8 Plus owners will be able to try a beta of Apple\u2019s new Portrait Lighting feature, which lets you apply studio-quality lighting to your scene as you compose the shot. You can even change the lighting afterward. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both iPhone models boast improved video capture as well, in part due to a new image signal processor that provides faster autofocus in low light conditions. You can now shoot 4K video at 24, 30, or 60 frames per second, up from just 24 fps in the iPhone 7. And, you can capture slo-mo video in 1080p resolution at 120 or 240 fps, whereas the iPhone 7 was limited to 120 fps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iPhone 8 costs $699 for a 64 GB model and $849 for a 256 GB model. Available colors are gold, silver, and space gray. Add $100 to either price for the iPhone 8 Plus. Apple will begin taking pre-orders on September 15th, with general availability a week later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If those prices are a bit steep for you, Apple continues to sell the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, and the iPhone SE starting at $349.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>iPhone X Introduces Face ID and Super Retina Display <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iPhone 8 may be a small step up from the iPhone 7, but the new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone-x\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPhone X<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a giant leap into the future, setting the standard for the smartphone of tomorrow. Pronounced \u201ciPhone Ten,\u201d Apple\u2019s new flagship iPhone boasts a stunning, edge-to-edge screen that fills almost the entire front face and eliminates the Home button. It shares the iPhone 8\u2019s glass back and support for wireless charging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5282 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-iPhone-X-1024x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"801\" height=\"387\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/387;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the iPhone X\u2019s 5.8-inch screen is physically larger than the iPhone 8 Plus\u2019s 5.5-inch screen, losing the bezel means that the iPhone X is just a few millimeters larger than the iPhone 8 and just a bit heavier. The extra size must have given Apple more room for the battery, since the iPhone X is supposed to last 2 hours longer than the iPhone 7 or 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll see more on the iPhone X\u2019s OLED display, which Apple dubbed \u201cSuper Retina,\u201d since it has more pixels\u20142436-by-1125 at 458 pixels per inch\u2014than any previous iPhone. In comparison, the iPhone 8 Plus is only 1920-by-1080 at 401 ppi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no Home button, you\u2019ll interact with the iPhone X in different ways. You can wake an iPhone X with the Raise to Wake setting or by tapping on its screen. You invoke Siri with \u201cHey, Siri\u201d or by pressing the new side button. To unlock the iPhone X, you swipe up from the bottom of the screen while looking at the iPhone X, and it uses Apple\u2019s new Face ID technology to recognize your face, much like Touch ID did with your fingerprint in the past. Swiping up from the bottom of the iPhone X screen works across the system for jumping back to the Home screen or (if you pause briefly) opening the app switcher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Face ID seems like magic, but it relies on the TrueDepth front-facing camera system\u2014that notch on the top of the screen\u2014which includes a 7-megapixel camera, infrared camera, flood illuminator, dot projector, and more. Face ID can recognize your face even in the dark, and it continually adapts to your changing look, so it can handle glasses, hats, beards, and more, all without being fooled by a photo of your face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5283 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-TrueDepth-1024x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"359\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/359;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone X sports a pair of rear-facing cameras, but with slightly different specs. One has an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0192<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/1.8 aperture, but the other is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0192<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/2.4, as opposed to f\/2.8 on the iPhone 8 Plus, and lets in 36 percent more light. The iPhone X also offers dual optical stabilization (on both lenses) for better low-light photos and videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this technology doesn\u2019t come cheap\u2014a 64 GB model costs $999, and a 256 GB model is $1149. You can choose between silver and space gray. Regardless, you\u2019ll have to wait a bit longer for the iPhone X because Apple plans to start taking orders on October 27th, with general availability on November 3rd.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Apple Watch Series 3 Adds Cellular<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original Apple Watch couldn\u2019t do much more than tell time when separated from its companion iPhone. The Apple Watch Series 2 gained a GPS to track your location on its own when you were running or biking. But now the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-watch-series-3\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Watch Series 3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes a cellular chip that allows it to make phone calls, get messages, use Siri, stream tunes from Apple Music to AirPods, and more all while your iPhone sits safely at home. It uses the same phone number but will cost an extra $10 per month from your carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5284 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-Apple-Watch-Series-3-1024x463.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"362\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/362;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make untethered communication possible, Apple built the cellular antenna into the display and developed a special electronic SIM that\u2019s about one-hundredth the size of an iPhone\u2019s nano SIM. The Series 3 also boasts a faster processor that speeds up app performance and allows Siri to talk back you, along with a barometric altimeter to measure relative elevation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazingly, the Series 3 case is the same size as the Series 2, although the back crystal is a hair thicker. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/watch\/battery.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battery life<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in mixed use remains at up to 18 hours, though you\u2019ll get only an hour of battery life when making phone calls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Apple Watch Series 3 has an aluminum body in three finishes: gold, silver, and space gray. For a different look (and potentially a lot more money), you can get Nike+ aluminum models, Herm\u00e8s stainless steel models, and Apple Watch Edition ceramic models. Apple is also now offering a new Sport Loop band that\u2019s meant to be light, stretchable, and breathable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5285 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-new-bands-1024x370.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"801\" height=\"289\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/289;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can pick from two Series 3 models: one with just a GPS chip like the Series 2 for $329 and one with both GPS and cellular capabilities for $399. Pre-orders start September 15th, with general availability on September 22nd. Apple no longer sells the Series 2 but has dropped the price of a Series 1 to $249.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Apple TV Adds Support for 4K Video<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple\u2019s set-top box hasn\u2019t seen many changes of late, which makes the new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-tv-4k\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple TV 4K<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all the more welcome for video buffs. The new device now supports two key video technologies: 4K and HDR. 4K video provides about four times as many pixels as are in 1080p video, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) supports more colors. The result is video that looks fabulous, with more detail, deeper colors, and better contrast than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5286 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-12th-Apple-TV-4K-HDR-1024x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"801\" height=\"446\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/446;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To see all that goodness, you\u2019ll need a 4K TV that supports either the Dolby Vision or HDR10 standard\u2014in other words, unless you\u2019ve bought a TV in the last year or two, you\u2019ll probably need a new one. Check the specs carefully!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third part of the puzzle, after you have a 4K TV and an Apple TV 4K, is 4K HDR content. Apple is working with major movie studios to bring 4K HDR video content to iTunes at the same price as HD movies. You\u2019ll even get an automatic upgrade to 4K HDR versions of iTunes HD movies you\u2019ve purchased, when they become available. Netflix 4K HDR streaming is expected immediately, and Amazon Prime Video should offer 4K HDR video on the Apple TV later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with all the 4K HDR video requires beefier hardware. The A10 Fusion chip doubles overall performance and quadruples the graphics processing speed over the fourth-generation Apple TV. The Apple TV 4K also sports faster and more modern networking connections: Gigabit Ethernet, simultaneous dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 32 GB model of the Apple TV 4K costs $179, and a 64 GB model is $199 (stick with the smaller model unless you play large Apple TV games). You can pre-order it on September 15, and it will be generally available a week later. The fourth-generation Apple TV remains on sale for $149. Although Apple said nothing about when tvOS 11 would be available, it seems likely to ship with iOS 11 and watchOS 4 on September 19th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whew! That\u2019s a lot of new hardware from Apple in one day. If you\u2019re considering buying an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Apple TV, you can now choose from new models with tempting features or time-tested older models at reduced prices.
