the reviews are in for the iPhone 10s and the 10 X map the 10s max an early look at the Apple watch series for and where did the air power mat go let's get right into this week's Apple news and rumors all right so now that we've seen apples a new lineup let's go back for a second and talk about what we didn't see at the event so iPads Mac books Mac Mini air pods and air power now that doesn't mean we won't see these products before the end of the year after all Apple has been known to host an October launch event in years past but I'm starting to think that the air Powermat will not live to see the light of day first off we've got no mention of it at the event not even like a hey it's coming soon don't worry and secondly Apple has erased all traces of it in its website this is kind of like the tech equivalent of deleting all traces of your X on social media after you've just broken up either way it's not looking good a report from John Gruber mentions overheating issues caused by those multiple charging coils as a potential culprit while a longtime Apple analyst Sonny Dixon goes on to say that the mat is having communication issues so it's having trouble figuring out the charging levels of these different devices neither say that it's flat-out canceled at this point but Apple is running out of time if it wants to deliver within the 2018 timeframe the company had promised last year or in the words of Gruber the air power could be truly and on a more positive note the iPhone 10s and the 10s max make their official debut on Friday September 21st and in the meantime the reviews have already started flooding the internet it seems like the consensus is that they aren't all that much different from last year's 10 aside from that larger screen and that better processor our o senior editor Scott Stein spent some time with these phones and to him the biggest surprise was that the phones aren't all that different in terms of size or at least they don't feel that way he also said that the smart HDR feature on the camera makes a big difference when it comes to photography so stay tuned for more comparisons to come from cnet.com but if you're thinking of upgrading your phone he says you're probably better off waiting for the 10r or just upgrading to iOS 12 now let's get to why Apple finally released its iOS 12 update this week for its mobile devices alongside watch OS 5 for the Apple watch Mac OS Mojave for the Macs and TV OS now I can't tell you to go ahead and download it right away you may want to see if there are any issues down the road but what I can say is that I definitely noticed a performance improvement with this new version of the software now I'm not just talking about newer devices even if you have an iPhone 5s or above you will notice considerable performance improvements where it matters I'm not talking about the flashy new features like in years past but these are - the day-to-day tasks that you do on a regular basis that really matter when it comes to your phone watch OS 5 also brings new features to the Apple watch including a walkie talkie app more watch faces but I'm actually most excited about those new fitness features which include automatic workout detection except sorry no cycling and those tools for runners including those gentle pace alerts that let you know when you're going too slow and speaking of Apple watch I got it I just finished setting up the Apple watch series for and I'm gonna be testing it out over the next few weeks testing out all the new features unfortunately one of the coolest ones in my opinion that EKG feature will not be available at lunch but that doesn't mean there's not plenty more we can do with it I'm actually wearing it alongside the series 3 just start getting a feel of what's new what's different is it worth the upgrade for starters I actually want to show you the screen size I have them both with the same watch face already and here's where you can really see that difference in screen size the series 3 is the 38 millimeter and this theory series 4 is the 40 millimeter both are the smallest versions of each model and look at how much more screen real estate you're getting what features do you want to see me try out first let me know on the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter I'll be answering all your questions about the series for in the meantime I'm gonna take both these watches out for a run oh yeah and we still have that iPhone 10 are in the pipeline for October so this Apple madness is just getting started also thank you so much for your comments last week I'm pretty sure collectively we have figured out what the are in iPhone 10 R stands for we have iPhone 10 regular iPhone 10 retina 10 rainbow refurbished reduced ripoff or it's that the R comes before the S thank you again for all your comments and I will see you next week with more apple core
