Three iPhone X models expected in 2018 (Apple Byte)

2017-11-16
what's good Brian song here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple of tons of stuff going on with the new iPhone 10 but Before we jump into that you know you want to hear about next year's iPhone already don't you well you know what you're going to because I said so now according to KGI securities Ming Chi quo Apple will launch a trio of iPhones in 2018 including a 5.8 inch and 6.5 inch models with OLED displays and a 6.1 inch model with an LCD display the reports say all screens are expected to come with a new true depth sensor and the full screen notched design so notch lovers this one's for you the two OLED models will target the high-end market the five-point inch model will retain its 458 pixel per inch density while the 6.5 inch OLED behemoth that will not fit in any of your skinny jeans will have a roughly 480 to 500 pixel per inch density now the LCD based 6.1 inch screen is reported to have a weak-ass 320 to 330 PPI that will make you question your vision and is expected to target the lower end to mid-range markets now close reports are pretty reliable these days and that means next year's potential lineup would retain the current iPhone 10 model bring a bigger iPhone 10 plus into the mix and add the iPhone 10 blurry alright a new report from Bloomberg says Apple is working on a rear-facing 3d sensor system for the 2019 iPhone to push them further ahead as the leading consumer augmented reality device Apple is looking at different technology compared to the one used on the current true depth sensor the new system would use a time-of-flight approach that calculates the time it takes for lasers to bounce off surrounding objects to create a 3d map of the environment around you now a Ark it can currently handle flat surfaces really well and placing objects on them but it has issues with walls or doors or vertical planes and needs more accurate depth perception so the iPhone 10 was in 2017 we called out the iPhone dos a keys for 2018 and get ready for the 2019 iPhones their flex ah wait I mean 30 it's it's iPhone 30 it's Apple come on what was I thinking all right let's talk the current iPhone 10 Apple basically called out the hacking community to try and break face ID after emphasizing how difficult it is with the odds of it working on someone else's face being one in a million Vietnamese security firm B calf was up to the task and released a video and blog post showing they cracked the code with a mask made up of 3d printed plastic silicone makeup and paper cutouts which together tricked the iPhones face ID into unlocking it now their methods haven't been confirmed but the B cave team says their mask costs one hundred and fifty bucks and they only needed a half face because the recognition is not as strict as Apple makes it out to be but the average person won't be able to do this so mom don't worry about someone making a replica of your face any time soon and unlocking your phone unless it's your ten-year-old son now this video shows a mom who registered her face with face ID she shows us that the phone is locked and face ID unlocks it so it works for her then she hands it over to her son who's able to unlock the phone using his own face plus if you're ten years old is still not played out for you so you got to throw on that dab so it's legit huh now Apple is yet to make any comment about the recent face ID hacks that have shown up and you know what they probably won't now there's more iPhone 10 inches Apple's working on reports from users claimed their touch screens become unresponsive in the cold the iPhone 10 would immediately refuse to recognize any touch input and Apple says it's a software bug causing the issue that will be fixed in an upcoming update you know it's really frustrating because I also know what it's like when something or someone is cold to you in now a limited number of people are getting a dreaded green line that appears on the side of their iPhone 10 screen that won't go away once it appears it's not limited to a specific model of the iPhone 10 and none of the phones were reportedly dropped it could possibly be an electrical fault on some devices that causes all the voltage to flow to the green subpixels but you'll need to reach out to Apple care to get this taken care of and this isn't a fix for the iPhone but if you saw our Apple byte iPhone 10 review I talked about how I'm still not a fan of the knotch some of you are and some of you aren't and that's okay but there are ways to get rid of it thanks to a free app on the store called notch remover that lets you put in your own pictures and hides the notch for you on the home screen there's also a website called notch list dot space they offer their own wallpapers and even give you the Photoshop template to make your own if you don't want to use an app and I know some of you are saying dude get over the knotch it's fine so fine I'll give it a chance and I've just decided to embrace it with this wallpaper also FYI I do know how to swipe up to close apps like this and it still takes longer to close apps swipe or no swiping in a good Apple update Apple is rolling out the faster Wireless 7.5 watt charging and the latest beta for iOS 11.2 on top of Apple pay cash we don't know when it will get a public release just yet but 95 Mac says they didn't see any meaningful difference in charging speed after the update according to reports only manufacturers that partner with Apple like Belkin and Mophie will be able to be certified and take advantage of the faster charging speed all right here's a little quick fun tip from omar alpha neck on twitter the Apple earpods case can also act as a makeshift stand for your iPhone but it's pretty wobbly and has to be balanced in the right sweet spot I wouldn't use it but you know what here you go you guys can and there's more 2018 iPad news after reports from Bloomberg last week that face ID and a minimal bezel design is coming to the iPad pro Chinese website my driver's reports to next year's iPad pros will feature octa-core processors based on TSM C's new 7 nanometer manufacturing process the 8 core chip will be tentatively named the a 11 X Bionic with 3 high-performance cores and 5 energy efficient ones will also likely bring a next-gen m11 coprocessor and neural engine for AI test in all the face recognition goodies from the iPhone 10 now all of this will result in CPU improvements and wait for it the fastest iPad Apple has ever made okay sticking with the iPad we found out it's not one of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is favorite devices Nadella walked into a room and saw a couple of reporters with iPads and said cheerfully to one of them you need to get a real computer my friend oh that burns Apple by nation a little bit I mean you're talking about my iPad pro but come on Sasha you know you're just hating because people teased you about your last name rhyming with a tasty hazelnut spread with cocoa damn all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at the Apple bite at cnet.com or tweet brian tom thanks much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple
