the Apple invites have arrived and what we're expecting from the 2019 iPhones let's get right to the core of Apple news and rumors Apple has just sent out invitations for its next launch event on October 30th the day before Halloween now there are a few things different about the invitation this time around that I'd like to point out starting with the artwork it seems that people got personalized versions of the Apple logo you can see here it has a cartoon or this smoke effect or this one with the water drops just do a quick Google search if you want to see all of them now the other thing different is the location it's going to be held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Howard Gilman Opera House not Cupertino earlier this year Apple held an event in Chicago so it seems that Apple is branching out to other cities now the catch phrase this time around is there's more in the making so obviously more products and some of those products that we're expecting are to new iPad pros with slimmer bezels face ID and no home button a sequel to the MacBook Air with a 13 inch Retina screen also slimmer bezels at around the same price point and potentially an upgrade to the Mac Mini now some of the other products that are still up in the air are a cheaper home pod a sequel to the Apple pencil maybe an upgrade to the air pods with that wireless charging case and the air power mat chances are if we don't see that air power mat at this event we're never gonna see it and the long-awaited iPhone 10 R goes on presale at midnight on Friday and I'm personally curious to see how well or poorly it does compared to its higher-end siblings now if you already forgot what this phone has the main difference is that it comes in six different colors we have a white one a black one blue yellow coral and red it also has a 6.1 inch LCD screen compared to the five point eight and the six point five inch OLED screens it's got an aluminum frame versus the stainless steel frame on the other phones no 3d touch a lower IP rating meaning you can't take it down to the three meters but only one meter and a single rear-facing camera with no optical zoom just digital that can apparently still take portrait mode photos but in this case it's not using this second telephoto lens but it's using software to create the blurred background effect kind of like the Google pixel now it also has glass on either side so you do get that wireless charging option it has face ID and it has the dual SIM capability all with that powerful a 12 Bionic processor so all in all this is a pretty good deal for two hundred and fifty dollars less than the cheapest iPhone 10s now if you're keeping track of tasks rumors this one was the one that analysts had originally predicted to be the best seller of the bunch but that was back before the launch and at this point the 10s and the 10s max have had a month-long Head Start so that may impact the excitement that users are feeling about this phone now right now there appeared to be contradicting rumors about this on the one hand you have a digitized report saying that the iPhone 10 our suppliers are expected to post week sales for the fourth quarter of 2018 this because Apple is supposed to be slowing down its orders and this may be a result not of an iPhone slowdown but a general smartphone of slowdown now on the other end of the spectrum you have longtime apple analyst makes you Clos saying the complete opposite that the 10r is gonna have even better than expected sales beating out the demand for last year's eights in the holiday quarter this according to a report in 95 Mac either way we won't have to wait too long because pre-orders start on Friday and we'll kind of get a sense of what the demand is for this phone and 2018 is not even over yet and we're already hearing rumors about next year's iPhone lineup now cool also mentioned in a separate note also published a 9 to 5 Mac that Apple will likely continue with the three iPhone lineup for next year meaning to higher-end models one with a 5.8 inch OLED screen and the other Mac's version with a 6.5 inch OLED screen alongside the cheaper LCD model with a 6.1 inch screen all of them this time with an IP 68 reading in a previous post Kuo had also mentioned that Apple will not be adding a finger and scanner into the display like other phone manufacturers have started to do in their phones instead the company will be sticking to its guns with face ID as the primary unlock feature on this phone and this week Apple itself has also given us a little clue of what's in the works for the future with a recent patent seen in this patently Apple report now this is by no means the first foldable patent for the company but it may be one of the better renders the first one pictured here looks kind of like an ancient scribe and I for one don't think I would use it what's not a rumor is that the foldable space is heating up as other major phone manufacturers like Samsung are said to be getting ready to launch their own foldable designs and at this rate it's an arms race to see who gets to the foldable phone first but also who gets it right but now let's get to more serious news and I'm not talking about the stolen Apple IDs that were used in a string of digital payments thefts in China this one has to do with the bagel emoji users on Twitter were outraged by the insulting representation of this iconic New York staple in Apple's new emoji lineup for iOS 12.1 and seriously they call this a bagel it looks like you could chip your tooth on this thing now luckily this story has a happy ending as Apple devoted all of its resources into changing this icon and making it better and now you can see that it resembles something edible that New Yorkers could be proud of now in all seriousness guys I am considering making a designated emoji section in this show because it seems like every week there's some kind of emoji drama I wish I could say that this was the first time something like this has happened but last year it was Google that was in the hot seat for its Android hamburger emoji apparently they made the terrible mistake of putting the cheese on the bottom of the hamburger bun now Google had himself sundar Pichai apologized on Twitter and restored order in the Android Universe by changing the emoji and making it all right iPhone tennis tennis Mac's 10r or none of the above which phone will be your wish list this year leave your answer in the comment section below or hit me up on Twitter and remember to come back next week for more apple core
