Apple introduced three new iPhones. In this review, we’ll look at the key characteristics of the new products, discuss prices and dates when the devices go on sale. At the same time, we’ll figure out what happened with two SIM cards. Let's go!
This time, the Apple 2018 presentation did without big words and incredible numbers. We immediately started announcing new products: the Apple Watch, which has been published for a long time, and three new iPhones.
What exactly did they present?
Last year, three new iPhones were shown at once. This fall the situation has not changed. We still have three new products and a mess in our heads. But let's try to figure it out.
Or a cheaper iPhone turned into an iPhone XR. A real revolution has happened for this branch of smartphones. A huge, frameless screen, a new processor, a pumped-up battery, a portrait mode in the camera and a bunch of new colors. Just a bomb!
Until recently, the flagship acquired a successor - the iPhone XS. Same size, but more advanced smartphone for the same money.
But s jumped over everyone and turned to the iPhone XS Max. The same functions as the XS, only with a huge screen and more pleasant battery life.
And now more details. Let's go through the chronology of the presentation.
iPhone XS
Successor and star of the program. It costs a thousand dollars in the database, like the previous ten.
Design
His main feature remained in place. The 5.8-inch screen retains the same resolution of 2436 by 1125 pixels, which give a density of 458 ppi.
Of course, an OLED matrix is used. As always, the best. Contrast 1,000,000:1, brightness 625 nits, True Tone, support for HDR10, Dolby Vision, P3 profile, 3D Touch - everything that was before is in place.
It is reported that the glass front and back has now become even stronger. And coupled with surgical steel, the device received water protection according to the IP68 standard, which means immersion in water up to 2 meters and for 30 minutes. We were told right from the stage that if you dropped your smartphone in the pool, then it’s okay. Nothing will happen to the device. You can also pour juice or beer over the new product. No problem again.
By the way, it was IP67.
As expected, a new color was introduced - gold. It looks fresh, expensive and solid. Just what was required from the new color.
Under the hood
Of course, inside we have a new A12 Bionic processor, which is now created using a 7-nanometer process technology. Previously it was 10 nm. This means more efficient power consumption and increased productivity. In numbers the situation looks like this:
- 2 productive cores are 15% faster and 40% more energy efficient
- 4 regular cores show the same performance, but now consume 50% less energy
- The 4-core graphics accelerator accelerated by one and a half times
In addition, the new chipset includes an 8-core neural unit responsible for machine learning.
Another interesting number. Thanks to the 8-core neural unit, the new “stone” is capable of processing up to 5 trillion operations. A11 Bionic boasted a ceiling of 600 billion operations. In addition, the Neural Engine, thanks to the Core ML platform, is up to 9 times faster than the corresponding system in the A11 Bionic. At the same time, the neural unit consumes 10 times less energy.
Cameras
Compared to the top ten, the new smartphone has not received any changes in numbers. Modules of 12 megapixels each are installed on the back. The six-element lens boasts an aperture of f/1.8 for the regular lens and f/2.4 for the telephoto. In addition, there is dual optical stabilization.
With exactly the same numbers, Apple claims that the quality of the images has improved. Several new technologies contribute to this.
Take Smart HDR, for example, which is responsible for improved processing of light and dark areas in pictures. In addition, algorithms have learned to determine depth of field even more accurately in portrait mode. For this, the “Depth” function or variable aperture is also used: from f/1.4 to f/16 - any value. You can adjust the degree of blur both directly during the shooting process and after, in the Photo application.
Let me remind you that up to this point a variable aperture had only been found in Samsung Galaxy S9, and . Moreover, in Korean flagships, physical aperture blades are responsible for this, which either narrow or open. How things are going with the iPhone XS is still unknown. Most likely, the software is responsible for the process.
In addition, “Depth” is also available for the TrueDepth front camera.
Regarding video recording, the improvements are purely evolutionary. More detailed elaboration of dark areas, improved picture in poor lighting and finally stereo sound recording. Surprisingly, until recently, not a single iPhone could record stereo. This gap has now been closed.
Rest
Let's just list a few more new features:
- maximum memory configuration increased to 512 GB
- 4 GB RAM (no official confirmation yet)
- more spacious stereo sound
- Face ID now recognizes faces even faster. Not a word about the possibility of unlocking in a horizontal position.
- XS battery life is 30 minutes longer than iPhone X
- and XS Max works an hour and a half longer than the same ten
One more thing
Dual SIM card!
But don't rush to rejoice. The first SIM card will be the familiar Nano SIM. But the second role is played by eSIM or digital SIM card.
The only country in the world where there will be two slots for two real SIM cards is China. Russia and other regions are in flight. Although, perhaps, some impudent MP will demand that Apple change the situation. If anything, I didn’t hint anything to anyone.
iPhone XS Max
We look at the most expensive and most sophisticated device, and at the same time determine how it differs from the iPhone XS. The main difference was the huge, frameless 6.5-inch screen.
For such a diagonal, engineers had to increase the resolution to 2688 x 1242 pixels. However, in total they give a density of the same 458 pixels per inch.
This is where the differences between the Max version and the regular XS end. Well, except for the slightly improved battery life and price. More on the latter later.
iPhone XR
This is, so to speak, an entry-level smartphone. The most affordable, with the latest hardware, now with a frameless screen, Face ID, a new processor and a relatively compact body. Despite the 6.1-inch LCD panel.
A whole bunch of new colors makes you think about repeating the experience with the iPhone 5C? Bad experience. I am sure that a new approach with a bunch of colors at the start will be much more successful. By the way, the photo below shows all the available colors. There are a lot of them, they are all bright and juicy.
It’s a bit of a shame that the smartphone was equipped with an IPS screen, and not an AMOLED screen, as in its older brothers. However, current goodies, including, for example, True Tone and the P3 profile, are still announced.
- resolution 1792 x 828 pixels
- density 326 points
- contrast ratio 1400:1
- brightness 625 nits
Like its more sophisticated relatives, the XR received a top-end processor. And I’m betting in advance that this particular smartphone will become the most productive in the company’s history. The situation is repeated when the device received a powerful processor, but a noticeably smaller number of pixels to process them. Hence the superiority, which, however, is noticeable only in synthetic tests.
There is one camera installed at the back, but it is “completely new”:
- resolution 12 MP
- 6-element f/1.8 lens aperture
- optical stabilization
The most important thing is that even with one camera, portrait mode is now available. Now, those who want to save money will not be left behind by modern photo technologies. This makes me happy.
The front camera can also blur the background, and like all other smartphones with daylight, studio and contour light effects. The “Depth” mode is in place.
- resolution 7 MP
- aperture f/2.2
- Full HD video recording at 60 fps
It is also important to mention autonomy. The new product lasts an hour and a half longer than . A decent indicator.
Screen size, number of cameras (one on the back and one on the front), colors, prices and sizes. Let's look at the latter below in one large table, where, by the way, I compared all the new products with their predecessors.
And yes, the new iPhone XS Max has become the heaviest smartphone from Apple, but still not the largest. still occupies an honorable place as a “shovel” in the family.
Prices for new iPhones
Firstly, the most affordable new iPhone has gone up in price again. For another 50 dollars. In other words, now the starting price tag for the new generation starts not at $699, but at $749.
The following starting points:
- iPhone XS will be available for $999
- iPhone XS Max price starts at $1099
More detailed information with a breakdown of memory and Russian prices is in the table below.
64 GB | 128 GB | 256 GB |
|
iPhone XR | RUB 64,990 / $749 | RUB 68,990 / $799 | RUB 77,990 / $899 |
And yes, not a single model has passed the psychological mark of 100 thousand rubles. Even the XS Max with 64 gigabytes of memory on board will cost 96,990 rubles.
However, the 256-gigabyte modification of the iPhone XS has exceeded one hundred, and more capacious models even more so.
64 GB | 256 GB | 512 GB |
|
iPhone Xs | RUB 87,990 / $999 | RUB 100,990 / $1149 | RUB 118,990 / $1349 |
I wonder how many iPhone XS Max 64 GB will sell? After all, if you have almost a hundred thousand for a new smartphone, there will probably be another thirty to take the 512 GB option for normal guys, right? In general, the price list for a top-end smartphone is below.
64 GB | 256 GB | 512 GB |
|
iPhone Xs Max | RUB 96,990 / $1099 | RUB 109,990 / $1249 | RUB 127,990 / $1449 |
Prices for previous smartphones
The release of new devices marked a drop in cost for the remaining generations. Let's look at all the models in one big table.
Noticed an important nuance? Yes, yes, no longer for sale. It was replaced by new frameless devices. But 8s and 7s are still on sale, along with Plus versions.
When?
Pre-orders for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will begin this Friday, September 14th. The global start of sales is scheduled for September 21.
Russia is not included in the first wave of countries. However, the release of the iPhone XS and its Max version is just around the corner - September 28, that is, literally a week after the global launch. Accordingly, we can assume that Russian pre-orders will begin on the 21st.
XR will have to wait a bit. Orders for the new model will begin to be accepted only on October 19. And you can buy the iPhone XR on October 26, 2018. This is global data that in this case are also true for Russia.
Software
Two more releases to complete.
iOS 12 will be available for download very soon - September 17th. Reading mine detailed analysis systems And desktop macOS Mojave will be available to install on September 24. I wrote about her quite recently here.
Apple has sent out invitations to an event on September 12, where it is expected to unveil new additions to its iPhone lineup.
In typical cryptic style, Apple provided scant clues in the invitation that the presentation would take place at the Steve Jobs Theater on its campus. spaceship in the Silicon Valley of Cupertino.
The invitations included the words “Gather Together” under a large gold circle.
Speculation includes talk that Apple has introduced three new iPhone models, adding some of the features from the premium iPhone X, which debuted last year with a thousand-dollar price tag.
The only thing left to announce is the date of the iPhone announcement itself. Apple sent out invitations to its fall iPhone events at the end of August. But given that it's still a week or two away, we'll still have to wait a little while before we find out when Apple will unveil its new 2018 lineup.
However, we will all take a risk and try to predict the date ourselves. Based on previous event dates, the consensus is that Apple likely has something planned during the first two weeks of September, either Tuesday or Wednesday. Almost every iPhone announcement over the past decade has met these criteria.
| Running phones |
Apple Event Date |
Release date |
| iPhone 9, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus | September 12, 2018 | September 24, 2018 (projected) |
| iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus | September 12, 2017 | iPhone X: November 3, 2017 iPhone 8: September 22, 2017 |
| iPhone 7 and 7 Plus | September 7, 2016 | September 16, 2016 |
| iPhone 6s and 6s Plus | September 9, 2015 | September 25, 2015 |
| iPhone 6 and 6 Plus | September 9, 2014 | September 19, 2014 |
| iPhone 5s and 5c | September 10, 2013 | September 20, 2013 |
| iPhone 5 | September 12, 2012 | September 21, 2012 |
Apple historically holds September events to showcase new iPhone models, and the company is expected to stay true to that pattern this year. What will the company surprise us with in 2018?
iPhone XS
There are rumors that the successor to the Apple iPhone X will be called the iPhone XS. There are no surprises, although apparently Apple wasn't entirely convinced by the name, because XS could either mean another smaller version of the outgoing model, or it could be an excess of numbers.
We've sorted out the names, now let's talk about the varieties. There will be three versions of this phone. Two high-end models with OLED screens, one of which will be the Plus model, and one cheaper model with an LCD display. All three new models will have the mark required for Face ID technology, which means there is no longer a Home button.
iPad Pro
It's been almost a year since the iPad Pro was last updated, and Apple is expected to update it at its September event.
Like the iPhone, the new iPad models are expected to use Face ID rather than Touch ID, so we won't see a Home button on the new iPad Pro. You can also expect the 10.5in version to be replaced by the 11in model - the screen will be larger thanks to smaller bezels, but there won't be any significant changes in size.
Apple Watch Series 4
The Apple Watch is also expected to be updated. It looks like it will have a larger display, but thanks to smaller bezels rather than larger display sizes.
It is also expected that the side button and digital crown will be modified so that the watch can be more water-resistant.
AirPower
It's been a year since Apple promised it would launch AirPower, a wireless charging mat that can be used with iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods. Will the ghost rug finally launch? It looks like it. (let's face it, it would be a blow to Apple's reputation if it wasn't!)
iOS 12 and macOS 14
The September event will also include Apple confirming when the latest version of iOS (in this case iOS 12) and macOS (Mojave) will be made available to the public in their final form.
The operating systems are currently in beta testing, as previously announced at WWDC 2018. They will likely be available for download before the end of September.
Possible new products
Apple has a wide variety of products in its pipeline. What do we expect to see new in it in the near future? We expect to find out either at the September or at the second event in October.
AirPods
It's possible that the new AirPods will launch alongside the AirPower mat, two years after Apple's wireless earbuds first launched. Although rumors point to a more significant update in 2019, with better water resistance.
MacBook Air
The MacBook Air hasn't been updated since 2015, and it looks like Apple will shut down the model soon. When that happens, it looks like Apple will introduce a new 13-inch Mac laptop at the same price - around £1,000/$1,000.
Whether it's a MacBook Air or a 13-inch MacBook remains to be seen, but it looks like there will be changes to the Air.
MacBook
In any case, we expect an update to the MacBook. Perhaps Apple introduced the 13-inch MacBook to sit next to the 12in version. And if this happens, the price of entry into the range may decrease. We expect the 12-inch MacBook could start at £200 or more, bringing its price down so it starts at £1,000/$1,000.
Mac mini
The Mac mini is no longer loved at Apple, just as the MacBook Air has remained untouched since 2014. Hopefully it'll get some attention soon - rumors suggest it will - although it's possible we won't see this update until 2019.
iMac
It makes sense that Apple would introduce updates to its range of iMacs before the end of the year. Like the MacBook Pro, they should have more cores - these are six-core processors, not quad-core processors. In fact, we might even see an eight-core variant!
Plus, it turned twenty years old in 2018, so it's the best time for an update, we think.
iPhone SE 2
Not so likely, but rumors have surfaced that the iPhone SE could see an update. This is the popular iPhone and is the smallest and cheapest mobile phone.
However, most "cheap" iPhone rumors seem to point to a cheaper version of the iPhone X, and we think it will still be quite expensive. If you're hoping for a new 4in model, you might be interested that code has surfaced indicating that the new phone may come with an older iPhone 7 processor, and it could very well be an SE upgrade.
HomePod mini
Finally, it's been almost a year since the HomePod went on sale, so we're not expecting anything just yet, but there have been a few rumors that Apple will launch a cheaper, smaller HomePod.
Let's start, as usual, with the main Apple product in every sense - the iPhone. This time, the company’s smartphone was presented in three variations: iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and the “budget” iPhone Xr.
How are iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max different from iPhone X?
Both smartphones are direct descendants of last year’s flagship iPhone X. According to established tradition, the successors of the previous generation of smartphones, which have the symbol “s” in their names, are not fundamentally different from their predecessor in appearance, but have more powerful hardware, according to the current production capabilities of technology companies. and carry some new “killer feature” that should force a potential buyer to go to the store and upgrade their last year’s iPhone to a new one.

New iPhones are protected from water and dust
iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max are dust and moisture resistant according to the IP68 standard, which means, according to this standard, they can be immersed in liquid to a depth of 2 meters for 30 minutes. Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller, who was on stage at the time, said that the water resistance of the new iPhone was tested in a variety of conditions; it was immersed in wine, beer, tea, salt and ordinary water. Phil also mentioned that watching HDR content on the screen of the new iPhone is a pleasure, especially since now the screen of Apple smartphones has a refresh rate of 120 Hertz.
_700.jpeg)
Dimensions of the new iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max
The iPhone Xs has the same dimensions as its predecessor, and the iPhone Xs Max is almost identical in size to the company's Plus-size smartphones - it itself is slightly smaller than the Pluses, but its screen is significantly larger - 6.5 inches compared to 5. 5 inches in Plus versions.
_700.jpeg)
Processor and performance of iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max
The new iPhones have a new generation processor - Apple A12 Bionic. This is the industry's first 7nm processor. It has 6.9 billion transistors, 6 CPU cores and 4 GPU cores. The new processor processes graphics 50% faster than last year's A11; in conjunction with the new coprocessor, they now perform 5 trillion neural calculations per second versus 600 billion from the previous generation. Also, thanks to them, Face ID now works faster, and the speed of launching applications has increased by 20%. The speed of the framework for working with machine learning technologies Core ML has increased 9 times, but consumes only 1/10 of the energy. It was also said about the second generation ARKit. Now everything that is rendered in augmented reality on new smartphones from Apple begins to look more beautiful and detailed, and is rendered faster.
_700.jpeg)
Whether the battery has become larger or it’s all about optimization, the iPhone Xs lasts half an hour longer than its predecessor, and the iPhone Xs Max lasts an hour and a half longer.
Cameras of the new iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max
A significant part of the presentation was devoted to the cameras of the new iPhones. Both smartphones have two camera modules of 12 megapixels each. The first is a wide-angle lens with an F/1.4 aperture, and the second is a telephoto lens with an F/2.4 aperture. The front camera has a 7 MP sensor.
_700.jpeg)
_700.jpeg)
The detail of photos taken with the cameras of the new iPhone has become even higher, portrait mode has been improved and the ability to change the depth of field on an already taken photo has been added. iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max can now record stereo audio while shooting video.
Dual SIM cards in new iPhones
Yes, the rumors were true. Apple did make a special version of the iPhone Xs Max with dual SIM cards, but - bad news - it will only be sold in China.
When will iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max appear in Russia and at what price?
iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max will go on sale on September 28. They will be available in 3 colors: gold, gray and good old Space Grey.
As for prices, we have bad news here. New iPhones are expensive, and in Russia, prices are also noticeably higher than in the United States.
iPhone Xs 64 GB — 87,990 rubles
iPhone Xs 256 GB — 110,990 rubles
iPhone Xs 512 GB — 118,990 rubles
iPhone Xs Max 64 GB — 96,990 rubles
iPhone Xs Max 256 GB — 109,990 rubles
iPhone Xs Max 512 GB — 127,990 rubles
For comparison: the cost of the iPhone Xs 64 GB in the USA is $999 (about 70,000 rubles at the current exchange rate), the iPhone Xs Max 64 GB is $1,099 (about 77,000 rubles), and the iPhone Xs Max 512 GB is $1,449 (about 93 000 rubles - the difference is almost 30,000!).
The “budget” iPhone Xr is not budget at all
Now it’s time to talk about another iPhone, which was shown after the successors of the iPhone X. There have long been rumors on the Internet about a budget iPhone, but those in the know understood that the words Apple and budget cannot be used in the same sentence.
_700.jpeg)
What did you save on iPhone Xr?
iPhone Xr is a smartphone that is so similar to its “big brothers”, but is equipped with a less expensive LCD screen and will be sold in as many as 5 colors: white, black, blue, yellow, coral and the traditional “charity” iPhone Red.
_700.jpeg)
They called the LCD display in the new iPhone Liquid Retina Display. It has a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a resolution of 1792 × 828 pixels and the same as in older versions, a scanning frequency of 120 Hertz. The bezels around the screen are slightly thicker than in the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone X, and the iPhone Xr itself is a cross between the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max in size.
_700.jpeg)
The iPhone Xr also has Face ID and the Apple A12 Bionic chip. The main camera in the iPhone Xr has only one 12-megapixel module with an F/1.8 aperture. But even with one camera module, there is a portrait mode with varying depth of field; it functions in software. Just like the iPhone Xs Max, the iPhone Xr lasts an hour and a half longer than the iPhone 8 Plus.
_700.jpeg)
When will the iPhone Xr appear in Russia and at what price?
The iPhone Xr will go on sale later than the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max, with sales starting on October 26.
As for the cost of the iPhone Xr, it’s difficult to call it budget:
iPhone Xr 64 GB — 64,990 rubles
iPhone Xr 128 GB — 68,990 rubles
iPhone Xr 256 GB — 77,990 rubles
Apple Watch Series 4 is much cooler than the new iPhone
In addition to the three new iPhones, the new Apple Watch Series 4 was also shown at the presentation. And they have a lot of good things, perhaps even more than in the new smartphone models.
_700.jpeg)
In the new generation, the display has finally become larger and the frames around the screen are thinner. In small watches, the display has become 35% larger compared to the previous generation, and in large ones - by 32%. Despite this, the battery life remained at the same level - 18 hours.
_700.jpeg)
The wheel on the side of the watch now vibrates and creates a tactile response. Series 4 is powered by a new dual-core 64-bit S4 processor, and thanks to a new accelerometer and gyroscope, the user's physical performance will be more accurately tracked. As for software, the new Apple Watch has added a dial with 8 additions and the ability to customize it.
_700.jpeg)
Apple Watch Series 4 can now show an electrocardiogram and measure heart rate in the background. All data is sent to the user's iPhone, from where it can be sent to a doctor, for example. Unfortunately, these features will only work in the US.
When will Apple Watch Series 4 appear in Russia and at what price?
Apple Watch Series 4 in the GPS version (without SIM card support) will go on sale in Russia on September 21. Starting October 4, the Nike+ version of the Apple Watch will also be available in Russia.
Apple Watch Series 4 GPS will cost the buyer 31,990 rubles. In the USA they cost from $399 (about 28,000 rubles).
What about updating iOS?

The new iPhone Xs, which loyal Apple fans have been waiting for a whole year, is an almost exact copy of the iPhone X, which was released in 2017. Its display size is 5.8 inches, and at the same time it occupies almost the entire front panel - a tribute to the “frameless” fashion in the smartphone market. The iPhone Xs Max is a larger version of the iPhone Xs for those for whom size matters. The maximum screen size is 6.5 inches.
Like the iPhone X, both the latest models there is the Face ID facial scanner, which was presented last year as a revolution in the field of smartphone security, and today is already taken for granted. To accommodate this scanner, I decided to keep the cutout on top of the front panel, which was so criticized after last year's presentation.
However, Apple heeded another request from fans and for the first time in the company's history added a dual SIM card feature to its smartphones.
It is worth noting that the ability to carry two SIM cards in one phone was implemented in Android gadgets quite a long time ago, but Apple seemed to prefer not to notice this largely useful feature.
As for innovations. One of the first to announce increased protection against water thanks to the heavy-duty glass in which iPhones are clad. Now the gadget will be able to survive under water at a depth of two meters for about 30 minutes before the owner notices that he has drowned it. The Cupertino team promises that the “drowned man” can now be dried, and it will work as if nothing had happened.
The camera received another update and new functions, which the owner will only “play” with in the first couple of days after purchase. Various effects will clearly be of interest to the photographer, but for the average person they will most likely remain a rudimentary “feature”, the cost of which will be included in the final price of the iPhone.
It's about the same story with the processor. iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max have a new A12 Bionic chip that performs trillions of operations per second. This is relevant for those who play mobile games that consume a lot of memory, or do video processing,
but for the average user social networks such a processor is too powerful and most likely will not be able to use its full potential.

As for prices, the iPhone Xs will cost, like last year’s iPhone X, $999 for the cheapest version (from 87,990 thousand rubles), but the iPhone Xs Max will cost as much as $1099 (from 96,990 thousand rubles), which makes it not only the largest, but also the most expensive iPhone in the Apple line. If we take the “maximum” model, then its price will be 127,990 rubles.
A new iPhone costs 130 thousand...ONE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND KARL
