Apple Watch Series 3: the smartphone does not need

In 2017 smartwatch Apple became the most popular watches in the world, overtaking even such brands as Rolex, Fossil and Omega, so that the company continues to update this line.

The main innovation in the Apple Watch Series 3 - a built-in LTE-module that clocks are independent from the smartphone. It allows you not only to use applications that require access to the Internet, and even take calls. Also there was the Apple Music support.

Inside Apple Watch Series 3 set 2-core processor, chipset, wireless W2 and altimeter. Interestingly, in the hours of screen acts as an antenna - it is possible to keep the same size as that of the Apple Watch Series 2.

Apple TV 4K: movies in Ultra High Resolution

The new Apple TV set-top box supports two most trendy technologies: support for ultra-high resolution 4K and extended color range HDR. Accordingly, the picture becomes even sharper, richer and deeper.

Movies in 4K HDR will be available on iTunes for the same price as the HD, moreover to the previously purchased the HD-movies you get a version in 4K HDR free.

In the role of set-top box hardware base acts A10X processor - the same as in the iPad Pro. Thanks to him, Apple TV 4K twice as fast and four times more powerful than the previous generation of Apple TV.

iPhone and iPhone 8 8 Plus: instead s

According to the logic of Apple this year had to get the seventh model to the letter s in the title, but the new iPhone were "eight", although it is a traditional upgrade iPhone 7.

Design exactly the same as the previous generation, but is now back panel glass. Apple claims that uses the strongest glass in the world. Well, bloggers hold drop-tests and check. They remained the same diagonal screen: 4.7 inches for the iPhone 8 and 5.5 inches for the iPhone 8 Plus. It will not go away, and protection against moisture and dust on the standard IP67.

However, the main innovation - a 6-core chipset A11 Bionic. In addition to the 4.3 billion transistors, it includes a graphics chip designed by Apple, supports 2 Metal Framework and methods of machine learning.

A11 Bionic also includes a powerful image processor, whereby the camera "eights" are fast and accurate focusing, even in low-light conditions and to fight more effectively with digital noise.

But the most striking feature, which is a new image processor made possible - this Portrait Lightning. When shooting portraits technology allows you to change the lighting in real time based on the depth map, simulating a multi-directional light sources.

Improved and Video: iPhone 8 and 8 Plus iPhone may remove rollers in 4K resolution at 60 frames / s and slo-mo Full HD in a frequency of 240 frames / s.

iPhone 8 equipped with a 12 megapixel camera with optical stabilization and iPhone 8 Plus - two 12-megapixel camera diaphragm f / 1.8 at the wide-angle and f / 2.8 at the portrait camera. Both cameras iPhone Plus 8 also received optical stabilization.

Apple has paid great attention to the augmented reality as a new scenario using the camera. For example, you can make projections of constellations in the sky. It demonstrated a new type of multiplayer gaming, in which events are projected into the real world, so participants do not just control the game, and immediately immersed in it, interacting with the physical reality.

Additional chips - technology True Tone, which adjusts the color temperature according to ambient light, front stereo speakers and wireless Qi-charging. The latter is compatible with all the chargers, but Apple said Mophie and Belkin.

iPhone X: the future of the smartphone

That it all and waited - Jubilee iPhone. Like the iPhone 2G, «Ten" is intended to determine the course of development of smart phones over the next decade. At least, so say at Apple.

As a response to the flagship Samsung with frameless screens, iPhone X is based on the chassis of steel, has a glass backdrop and solid display "from edge to edge." Of course, there is a protection against moisture and dust to IP67 standard.

Super Retina screen created based on the 5.8-inch OLED-matrix with a resolution of 2436 × 1125 pixels and pixel density of 458 ppi. Of course, I had to abandon the button "Home" and create a new script in the user interface.

To wake iPhone X, simply touch the display. Swipe from the bottom up - return to the home screen. The same gesture, but with a delay of a finger opens the manager running applications. Impressive!

However, the most stunning - a face recognition system Face ID, which replaced the Touch ID. Just look at the iPhone X, and he immediately released. For such a simple action is quite tricky technology TrueDepth Camera System, which uses an infrared camera, algorithms, machine learning and neural networks. iPhone X creates a face model to 30 thousand points, is able to adapt it according to the physical changes (say, you grow a beard or changed hairstyle) and can recognize the face of the owner, even In the dark.

Apple claims that the likelihood of hacking Face ID is equal to 1: 1 million, while the Touch ID - 1: 50 000. iPhone X can not be deceived or photo, or even a bulk mask.

The same TrueDepth Camera System has made it possible to create Animoji - «living» Emoji animation which follows the user's facial expressions.

PhotoChances iPhone X are the same as that of the "eights", however, thanks to TrueDepth Camera System, a dynamic local lighting technology is also in selfie mode.
