Devices / / December 19, 2019
1. Unavailability ECG Watch Series 4 for Russia
The main innovation Watch Series 4 ECG has become a unique feature, the sensor for which is hidden right in the wheel of the Digital Crown. Suffice it to lean to his finger, and within 30 seconds you will receive a full report on the cardiac activity. It's all very well, but, unfortunately, not for Russia.
The application itself to the electrocardiogram as a cardiac rhythm disturbance notification will only be available in the US, and that is not right. On the Apple presentation about this, of course, he maintained silence.
2. Unavailability of two SIM cards in Russia
Even before the announcement of Apple insiders are all in one voice told that new iPhone finally receive support for two SIM cards. However, hardly anyone guessed that we are talking about the possibility of using eSIM paired with usual nanoSIM.
This decision puts an end to dvuhsimochny for those countries in which the electronic SIM card is not used. This applies to Russia, where operators still only studying the possibility of introducing eSIM.
Slots for two physical SIM cards will be available only in versions of the new iPhone to China. Whether these modifications will be able to operate normally in our country, there are more questions.
3. iPhone Xs Max impressive weight
iPhone Xs Max for the owner of a 6.5-inch screen has a fairly compact dimensions - 157,5 × 77,4 × 7,7 mm. However, it turned out to be an impressive weight - 208 g After iPhone X, Which weighs 174 g, to get used to such a "brick" can be difficult.
For comparison: Galaxy Note 9 with a screen of 6.4 inches weighs 201 g and Huawei P20 Pro, equipped with a 6.1-inch display, - 180 g
4. Low resolution screen iPhone Xr
On iPhone Xr screen at the presentation it was said a lot of flattering words. But with all the advantages of a smartphone close eye on the low resolution is hardly possible. 1792 × 828 pixels at a diagonal of 6.1 inches gives 326 ppi - this average level, and even low-end.
At the same Huawei P20 Pro with identical diagonal screen pixel density of 408 ppi, and at Galaxy S9 + with a screen of 6.2 inches - over 500 ppi.
5. Refusal of 3D Touch into iPhone Xr
In addition to the extremely low density of pixels per inch, iPhone Xr screen disappointing lack of support 3D Touch. Those who are accustomed to this technology and would like to go on the iPhone Xr, this time can stop.
6. The absence of adapter for fast charging
All three new smartphones feature support fast charging, which allows you 50% battery charge in just half an hour. However, none of the models is not needed for this adapter in the kit.
Same It was with iPhone X.
Given the highly evolved prices of smart phones, the lack of fast charging kit seems to put it mildly, strange. No other company does not sell the flagship with memory for 5 W, namely in a box and you will find.
7. The high price of iPhone Xr
With all the iPhone Xr shortcomings should be much more affordable smartphone that can become a real alternative flagships for Android.
Apple is considered that the price of 64,990 rubles is quite acceptable for a model with a screen HD +, for which more and fast charging will have to buy more.
8. The disappearance of the iPhone X and iPhone SE
Despite its age, the 4-inch iPhone SE is always in demand, and has frequently been the best-selling smartphones in Russia. Now, however, he will go down in history, and has not received a worthy successor to the compact. Smartphone disappeared from the official site, which means that soon will disappear from the shelves.
If fate iPhone SE was predictable, the rejection of the iPhone X, who was also removed from production, was a real disappointment. Considering the prices of new products, last year's flagship at the price of 69 990 rubles could easily start playing with bright colors. However, Apple is clearly at the expense of his other plans.
The decision to abandon the iPhone X is explained by the desire to attract the maximum attention to the three innovations, especially for iPhone Xr, which acts in the same price category.
In the meantime, last year bezramochnik still available at retail retailers. So willing to buy it is necessary to hurry.
