The Next Batch of iPhones: What We Know So Far

Now that WWDC is behind us, we can officially say that the next batch of iPhones is just a few months away. Rumors have been circulating about Apple's plans to launch three new iPhones at the next launch event in September, and it seems like those rumors are starting to come true. According to sources, one of the new iPhones will be an iPhone 10 sequel, featuring a 6.5-inch OLED screen and potentially a three-camera array.

The other new iPhone is expected to be a cheaper version of the iPhone 10, with a 6.1-inch LCD display. Leaked images published on Smart Price Comm show what this cheaper iPhone 10 would look like, featuring a single rear-facing camera and an aluminum frame instead of stainless steel. According to Apple analyst Michi quo, the price tag on this cheaper phone is expected to be between $600 and $700.

The third new iPhone will likely be a more premium model, with prices expected to be similar to or slightly above the current iPhone 10. However, according to Japanese site Nikkei, Apple has ordered roughly 20% fewer components for the new iPhone lineup compared to last year. This could be in response to the fact that their 10th-anniversary iPhone has been their top-selling phone at least according to Apple, but it fell slightly below expectations.

The reason behind this change might also be due to a broader trend of declining smartphone sales across the board. It's the first time in history that sales have been down for smartphones, and Apple is likely trying to adapt to this shift by reducing its component costs without sacrificing too much quality.

A new Apple Watch is also expected to launch alongside these new iPhones. According to sources, the next watch will feature solid-state buttons that respond to touch with haptic feedback, similar to what Apple did with the home button on the iPhone 7. However, this change won't affect the position of the buttons themselves, so users won't lose any functionality.

Internally, the new watch will have a smaller footprint, which means more room for a larger battery and better waterproofing. This is good news for users who want to stay connected without sacrificing their devices' durability.

The new Apple Watch is expected to build on the features of its predecessor, with new notifications and settings that allow users to customize their experience even further. The watch will also include a group FaceTime feature, which will allow users to video chat with friends and family more easily.

In other news, the developers beta of iOS 12 has been released, and it's packed with new features and improvements. One of the standout changes is the new Siri shortcuts feature, which allows users to customize their app interactions with ease. The new feature includes two notifications, a bedtime mode, and a measure app that will make measuring objects and distances a breeze.

However, not everything about iOS 12 has been officially announced yet. According to sources close to Apple, one of the most exciting features is a tiny change that wasn't even mentioned on the keynote: instead of pressing down on each open app to close it, users can simply swipe up like they would with any other app.

This might seem like a small change, but it's actually a significant improvement for users who want more control over their devices. And while there are still plenty of changes to be discovered in the iOS 12 beta, one thing is certain: Apple is always pushing the boundaries of what's possible on its devices.

As we wait for the final version of iOS 12 to be released, it's worth keeping an eye out for any further updates or announcements from Apple. The company has a reputation for being innovative and forward-thinking, so it's sure to deliver something exciting in the coming months.
