Tomorrow’s morning, the Apple conference will be held in the United States, when the new iPhone will meet the world. As the American Spring Festival Evening in the technology circle, every move of the new iPhone will cause the development direction of smartphones next year.
With the news of true and false, the new iPhone has been outlined with a rather specific outline.
01What about the big square camera?
Since the beginning of this year, the new iPhone has exploded, and of course it used to be…
In appearance, this year’s iPhone may continue the design of the iPhone XS series last year, with the bangs design with Face ID on the front and the glass on the back. The focus of the debate is on the square camera.
At present, from the factory and the media, the top version of the new iPhone should have three cameras, namely wide-angle, telephoto and super wide-angle, three cameras plus flash to form a square, and three cameras. A triangle. Although everything did not dare to say 100% before the press conference, the chance of a reversal on the spot was really low.
There is a lot of people saying that this may be the ugliest iPhone of the current generation. Some people even say that Jony Ive left because it broke his aesthetic bottom line. Of course, jokes are jokes. The iPhone has always been a real machine, so the vast majority of people can see the current official map.
The problem is that Apple has moved from a “design-driven” company to a “functional drive” in recent years, from the protruding camera, Face ID big bangs and Mac Pro grater. It can be seen that Apple’s “design-function” balance that has led the industry has been somewhat out of balance.
So the big block design like Apple is probably not “not designed”, but designed to be “very hard”. That’s interesting, if you follow the pragmatic principle, there is a reason to arrange the camera in this way. At present, most of the multi-cameras on the market use a single-column arrangement. The triangular arrangement of Apple is probably to make the distance between the three cameras closer, and it is not allowed to be in focus during the shooting process.
There is a problem, what kind of shooting should call three cameras with different focal lengths at the same time?
This may be a variety of possibilities, it may be for a stronger “HDR effect”, three cameras take multiple sets of photos at the same time; it may also be to enhance the nighttime photo effect, increase the amount of light; of course, it may be the legendary RGB three primary colors to take pictures.
The HDR shooting that has been supported on the iPhone XS series last year should continue to be strengthened. Not surprisingly, this year’s iPhone should be able to record HDR video directly. The current T2 chip on the new generation of Mac supports 8bit HDR video hard.Encoding, iPhone plus this feature is not a surprise.
The new iPhone will also probably support a feature called “Smart Frame”, which allows users to take a wide-angle view of the surrounding landscape while taking a photo or shooting a video. These can be used in the later stages. The part that may be cut off is added to the material. This is also in line with the purpose of “multi-lens at the same time”.
02 What else might be there?
The biggest feature of the new iPhone this year should be the addition of a new color green. This is not unfounded speculation. You see that the green phones that domestic manufacturers are rushing out know that there must be a leading brother.
Another well-known trend forecasting agency WGSN analyzes that next year’s fashion colors will be “Neo-Mint Mint Green”, “Purist Blue Pure Blue”, “Cassis Gray Purple”, “Cantaloupe Hami Melon Orange” and “Mellow Yellow Vintage” Yellow, so is it reasonable to look at Apple’s new mint green and lavender violet?
It is worth mentioning that the “coral orange” that appeared in the iPhone XR is the popular color of 2019. Apple relies on the popular color to set the color of the mobile phone.
In the early morning, the famous peripheral manufacturer Razer has put up its own iPhone case for this year’s iPhone. In addition to the big box, there are three models of 5.8, 6.1 and 6.5 inches, which also indicates that the size of the iPhone this year should be the same as last year. The version is almost the same.
But the size of the body is similar, but the thickness should be thinner, because from the iOS 13 series of enhancements to Haptic Touch, the new iPhone should be basically determined to cancel 3D touch, even the current iPad Pro can also implement some 3D touch functions by long pressing the screen.
However, even if the thickness of the body is the same, there is some benefit to canceling the 3D touch layer. The news from the supply chain shows that the new iPhone will have the largest battery in the history of the iPhone, and the largest iPhone will exceed 4,000 milliwatts. This is more than 20% larger than the iPhone XS Max battery.
There is also a benefit from the big battery, the iPhone will add two-way wireless charging, and the new iPhone can charge small objects like AirPods. Switching to a small battery may be a disability feature, but the iPhone after the battery is larger may be able to meet Apple’s requirements. However, Teacher Guo Mingqi denied the existence of this function this morning, saying that Apple believes that “charging efficiency has not met expectations.”
With the larger battery drive, the new A13 series chips will also have more powerful performance. It is now almost certain that the new iPhone will use TSMC’s latest 7nm process, and single-core performance will continue to improve. Apple’s Nueral Engine nerve engine will continue to leap forward, which is in line with the need for many new services to run locally for privacy protection at Apple’s spring conference this year.
It is also worth noting that there is a signal problem. This year’s iPhone will not accidentally plug in Intel’s latest XMM 7660 Modem. As the biggest negative information of the iPhone last year, the signal has become a factor affecting iPhone sales. This year Apple will Intel’s communications baseband department received its own account directly, and the two parties should be able to improve the iPhone’s signal performance.
At least Apple should redesign its own antenna.
But there are a lot of holes in the shell of the Razer. The Razer said that it can “improve the heat dissipation and signal performance of the iPhone”…so everything has to wait until the real machine is available to reach a conclusion.
This year’s iPhone is not a big surprise. It should not support 5G. Considering that at least until next year, it will have a better 5G experience in some pilot cities. The impact is not great; but one thought of a mobile phone. It can only be used for one year, which is quite bad.
In addition to this,In order to adapt to the new camera material, the new Lightning interface should be updated, the rate should at least be raised to the level of USB3.0, otherwise the USB 2.0 rate Lightning interface to pass a Vlog material is afraid to wait until the end of the day.
In addition, the Pro version will finally send away the ancestral 5V1A charger, which comes standard with PD fast charge.
As for supporting Apple Pencil, I personally think that there is not much hope, unless a small size pen is specially introduced for the Pro version, otherwise it is a difficult problem to solve, and the place where high precision operation is required on the mobile phone There are a lot less on the iPad, and there are very few usage scenarios for this pen.
In terms of capacity and price, this year’s iPhone should be upgraded to 128GB and skip 256GB directly on 512GB and 1T. According to Taiwan’s breaking news, the price is similar to last year’s starting price, and the top is still over 10,000.
03 What does the name of Pro mean?
From the current news, this year the iPhone seems to have abandoned the naming method of “S” and “R” last year. The “R” series will be upgraded to the original iPhone, and last year’s two positive iPhones will Upgrade to Pro series.
Although it is possible to abandon Apple has used the “positive-S” naming method for 10 years, Apple really likes the Pro code, from desktops to laptops to iPads. It seems that they will follow their footsteps.
But if you’re out of Pro products from other product lines, we’ve found that Apple’s Pro may not be specifically for users of professional attributes.
For example, Macbook Pro, compared to MacbookIn terms of air, hardware performance is limited. The default is to use the display, and the cost is increased. The MacBook Pro Pro is in other places, such as better screen, P3 color display, better speaker, Touch Bar, etc. Wait, these cool things won’t improve the hardware performance of your computer, but it will make the user’s experience better and more comfortable to use.
The iPad Pro, like the iPad Air, uses A12 series chips with limited performance improvements; but the iPad Pro has a 120Hz ProMotion screen, better speakers, a better camera, and a single one. Magnetic Apple Pencil.
At present, Apple’s product line is only for the professional users, but the price of hundreds of thousands of dollars determines the sales of the Mac Pro is not high, which is completely positioned with the iPhone. different.
So what we can think of is that Apple uses the name Pro on the iPhone not to let users play in the professional field, but to have a better experience under the same performance conditions, which is in line with the current exposure. Product grading, also in line with the iPhone’s product positioning and pricing strategy, is more in line with the iPhone’s previous habits.
iPhone XI Pro Max, Cook, I hear how you read.
Apple launch will start at 1 am tomorrow in Beijing time, we will also be in the first timeBringing new products to you and analyzing them, I hope everyone will pay attention to them.
