What time does the iPhone presentation start? iPhone XS presentation - what they will show, when to expect, how much it will cost
Fortunately, to get acquainted with all this information, you won’t have to go to the USA and buy tickets to the Steve Jobs Theater, where Apple traditionally holds its presentations. You can simply turn on the online broadcast and be aware of everything that the giant of the global IT industry has to offer to its users..
When and how
The presentation will begin at 20.00 Kyiv time. It can be viewed online both on the official Apple website and in browsers of the company’s products, as well as using Apple TV. Yes, and programs from Microsoft will also allow you to do this. Not to mention various streams on YouTube. So there are a lot of options.
New iPhones
Perhaps the main reason for viewing the presentation. Because it is from this moment that they can be ordered. Of particular interest now are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus and iPhone XC, which differ mainly in screen sizes. Everything else is similar. 4 GB RAM, built-in memory up to 512 GB, A12 processor, more efficient dual vertical cameras, OLED display, more efficient wireless charging and much more. According to rumors, by the way, the prefix “Plus” in the name may be abandoned and replaced with “Max”.
iPhone Xr
Another actively anticipated new product is a budget iPhone model. 6.1 inches, LED screen, quite effective camera, and also - which is extremely unusual and revolutionary for iPhones - the ability to use two SIM cards. At the same time, this thing will cost from 600 to 850 dollars. Significantly less than the “ultra-modern latest models”.
iPad
More precisely - iPad Pro. Everything is the same inside, but there is no “Home” button on the outside, even less frame, even larger diagonal. In a word, visually the product will change significantly.
Apple Watch
Also reducing the frames, increasing the diagonal and mainly decorative improvements. But Apple watches will look even more impressive and brighter.
AirPower
Wireless charging will also change a little. For example, something will stop sliding off it. Plus, it will become more powerful and will work even more efficiently, and simultaneously with several Apple products.
Watch live broadcast of the presentation of the long-awaited iPhone models online
The presentation program, which was eagerly awaited by millions of people around the world, began with Tim Cook talking about the great Apple stores.
Next we talked about the Apple Watch - the most popular watch in the world. Apple Watch Series 4 has become even better and more convenient than previous models. The watch itself has become thinner, and the screen, on the contrary, is a third larger. They have a more modern dial, an improved speaker, and now they will be able to better support the cellular signal.

We also think you might be interested to know that things are going well. Even despite minor problems with processors, the company's turnover is growing, as is production. And the total value of the company has already exceeded a trillion dollars.
On Wednesday, September 12, at 20:00 Kyiv time, the company Apple will hold its annual presentation of its new product line . It is known that not only three new iPhones will be shown, but also updated AirPod headphones, iPad pro and Apple Watch 4th generation.
However, it is clear that smartphones are of the greatest interest to users. Moreover, this year Apple promises to surprise fans of its gadgets. Vesti figured out what exactly will cause the surprise.
Budget iPhone
Yes, yes, of course, Apple does not have “budget” models. There are “hits of past years” with minor changes, but which are successfully sold not because of any sentimental feelings of consumers, but still because of the lower price than the flagships.
However, this year we are expecting a truly completely new model, which is positioned as a “basic” model. That is, the appearance of the younger brother will be almost the same, but with some nuances.
One of the nuances is the Apple A10 Fusion processor, which first appeared in the iPhone 7 in 2016, but which can hardly be called outdated. And despite the presence of a relatively old chip, the smartphone will support face unlocking using the Face ID system.
At the same time, the “junior” will receive the same frameless display as the flagships, with the now signature “monobrow” on top. But at the same time, it will have a diagonal of 6.1 inches, as well as a cheaper LCD display. The cost of a “budget” apple will start at $700 in the USA.
Flagship models
But this year things are much more interesting for the older brothers. We will be offered two versions of the Xs model, which will differ from each other primarily in size - 5.8 and 6.5 inches. The most interesting thing about the displays this year is the change in supplier. If previously iPhone screens were made by Samsung, this year they will be screens from LG. Whether this is good or bad, we can only judge after using gadgets for some time.
In addition, the smartphones will use completely new Apple A12 processors. The RAM of the devices will be 4 GB. The size of internal storage memory can traditionally be chosen from 64, 256 and 512 GB. There will be dual cameras, both rear and front.
The cost of the flagship models in the US will start at $999, which makes us look at our younger brother with a little more interest. In addition, it is planned to present a special device for China - the iPhone XC, which, according to rumors, will have a slot for two SIM cards. At the same time, the Chinese operator China Mobile contributed to the spread of these rumors.
When to wait and how much money to prepare
Experts say that the first new generation iPhones will appear in Ukraine no earlier than October. And speculators will try to make as much money as possible from the most ardent fans of Apple products.
Considering the price of the flagship Xs at $999, in Ukraine they will ask for about 40-45 thousand hryvnia for the first copies. The younger version will cost the most impatient iPhone lovers about 30 thousand hryvnia. For comparison, today an iPhoneX with 256 GB on board can be purchased for 32 thousand hryvnia.
Earlier, Vesti reported that Apple has patented the laptop of the future. It also recently became known that

On September 12, 2018, Apple is holding its traditional annual presentation of new products. Typically, the IT giant shows the world devices that set trends for many other manufacturers. As a rule, these are new iPhones, as well as iPads, sometimes iMacs and MacBooks.
There were no official announcements in 2018. But a few weeks before the presentation, analysts, journalists and bloggers have a lot of information about possible new products. Everything so far is based only on rumors and strange leaks, such as a screenshot with images of the iPhone 9, which allegedly “accidentally” appeared on the Apple website for some time.

What devices will be presented at the Apple presentation
iPhone XS. This is essentially an updated last year's flagship. There will likely be increased performance, improved cameras and better batteries. The screen size is expected to remain the same - it will be a 5.8-inch OLED. The likely price is from $899.
iPhone XS Max (according to another version, iPhone XS Plus). This is probably a larger - 6.5-inch - version of the same iPhone X. Rumor has it that the flagship will have three main cameras and, perhaps, support for Apple Pencil. The likely price is from $999.
iPhone XR (or iPhone 9). This is already a medium-sized (6.1-inch) version of the iPhone X. The likely price is from $699.
iPhone SE 2. Hypothetically, Apple could announce this, the most budget version of its smartphone. The previous generation SE was a wild success.
Apple Watch 4. Fans are expecting a larger display and advanced functionality (for example, gesture controls, multiple options for listening to music and podcasts, etc.). Let us remember that Apple previously introduced the operating system for the device - WatchOS 5.
iPad Pro 2018. Moreover, according to some reports, two versions will be presented - 11 and 12.9 inches.
iMac and MacBook 2018. Fans are especially looking forward to the MacBook Air - Apple's relatively budget line of laptops hasn't been updated for several years.
AirPods. The new headphones will, according to some reports, have powerful noise cancellation, water protection, and wireless charging.
WHAT WAS SHOWN AT THE PRESENTATION
Well, finally two SIM cards! Apple introduced three new iPhone models and Apple Watch with ECG
Probably the most important thing about Apple products is that Apple people hold both hardware and software firmly in their hands. It is clear that they, too, like other smartphone companies, strive to ensure that their devices have the most modern and cool stuffing. But Steve Jobs' followers are always ready to explain how and why to use new hardware capabilities
Today, September 12, 2017, at 20:00 Kyiv time there will be a presentation of a new, special anniversary iPhone from Apple. Apple is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of its first smartphone and will introduce 3 new iPhone models: iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (updated iPhone 7), as well as a new version - iPhone X.
Since the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be the successors to the 7th version of the smartphone, while the iPhone X will receive premium characteristics, let’s dwell on the characteristics of the new iPhone X and everything we know about the new gadget.
The Apple iPhone X smartphone will be universal and unique both in terms of internal content and external characteristics. It will cost around 1 thousand dollars.
It's likely that for the first time in years, the iPhone will get a radical redesign: an edge-to-edge display thanks to the abandonment of the physical Home button. Some sources note that the Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be built into the screen, others say that Apple will abandon Touch ID altogether in favor of a new method - a facial recognition system that recognizes the user in millionths of a second and can work even in the dark .
The dimensions of the smartphone will be comparable to the 4.7-inch version, but the screen diagonal will be closer to 5.5 inches. There is a possibility that the new product will have a screen with a diagonal of 5.8 inches and a usable area of 5.15 inches. The rest of the space will be filled by the so-called function area, which will look like a cross between the bottom Android toolbar and the Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro.
For the first time in history, the display will use not the usual liquid crystals, but OLED technology, which will enable Apple not only to provide users with a screen with improved contrast and color reproduction, but also to make the device thinner and more energy efficient.
Glass will replace the aluminum used in the back of the iPhone for the last 5 years. The creators were prompted to abandon the metal body by the desire to equip the smartphone with wireless charging.
The processor will be called A11 and will be significantly more productive and energy efficient than the A10. There is a possibility that the new version of the iPhone will have more RAM and up to 4 GB. The basic version will have 64 GB of internal memory, then there will be a 128 GB model and for the first time in iPhone history there will be a top version with 512 GB of memory!
Another innovation of the iPhone 8 will be related to cameras. It is expected that the front of the smartphone will have a camera with improved resolution and a 3D scanner for facial recognition. There is a version that both rear cameras will have optical stabilization in the iPhone 8.
Regarding color, the new iPhone, judging by the latest leaks on the Internet, will be offered in 3 color options - traditional black and silver, as well as Blush Gold - reminiscent of either bronze or copper. It is likely that this option will be in greatest demand.
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 Spaceship campus in the Silicon Valley city 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.

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, if this isn't the case, it will be a blow to Apple's reputation!)
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 gets 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.
