Just a few hours left before the official presentation of Apple, which Tim Cook and other executives of the company will tell us about the updates of mobile electronics. Due to the fact that hundreds of leaks, we introduced you to the past few months, are grains of disparate information, we decided to bring together all the available data in the special issue of insider information. Right now you have a unique opportunity to remember everything about the upcoming updates "apple" of the company. So, meet flagship smartphone iPhone 6 with 4,7 and 5.5-inch screens that have undergone the greatest change in design and size in its history; "Smart" watch iWatch - the first wearable gadget on iOS; Tablets iPad Air 2 and the new iPad Mini with Retina-display: what tablet fingerprint scanner, and whether "apple" tablets during multi.
Apple iPhone 6
One of the most anticipated flagship of this year brought before us in two versions: the base 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch senior. The latter, incidentally, can get the name of the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Air Plus. Reported that within a family of new differences will iPhone, since the volume of the internal memory and finishing materials used in production: iPhone 6 Air can get 128GB internal memory and on the front glass panel is made of sapphire, whereas in the case of basic model iPhone 6 this will not happen - the amount of memory will remain at 16, 32 and 64 GB, as well as a protective glass will be used to all the usual Gorilla Glass.
The major change in the design will be, of course, all forms of rounding. The smartphone will be deprived of sharp edges and get a fairly streamlined body. Furthermore, the Apple logo will be made of alloy metal, and the power button is moved to an upper part on the side.The estimated thickness of the case - from 6 to 6.7 mm.
It is reported that the screen resolution 4.7-inch flagship is 1334h750 pixels. Increase diagonal logically led to a change in the basic elements of the display on the main screen: in one line is still located on the 4 icons, while the number of lines has increased: instead of 20 icons in 5 columns maximum number of concurrent applications placed on the screen is now 24 6 lines (excluding applications in the bottom dock). Smartphone will work, of course, running the latest iOS 8.
Will be installed inside the CPU A8, announcement of which will also be held today. He will make a sharp jump in performance and will work with a frequency of 2 GHz. In addition, A8 will be built on 64-bit architecture with 20-nm process, but the nuclei will remain only two. Previously reported that the frequency of 2.6 GHz A8, but it probably refers to the tablet Apple Air 2, the frequency of the processor which has traditionally been slightly higher than the iPhone. Amount of RAM may be 2 GB, and as a graphics accelerator is expected to debut PowerVR G6500 from Imagination Technologies.
One of the main improvements iPhone 6 will be the main camera, which will be allowed 10 or 13 megapixels, and its manufacturer will make Sony (supposed to use photo module IMX220, as the new flagship Sony Xperia Z3). Will be installed inside the sensor 1 / 2.6 '(in the iPhone 5S Its dimensions are 1.3'), and 1.75μm pixel aperture of f / 2.0. But the most important thing - the camera lens will protrude slightly from the body of the smartphone.
As for battery life, insiders have not been able to agree: it is assumed that the amount of battery 4.7-inch iPhone will be 2100 mAh, and the older model and did receive the battery capacity of 2915 mAh. Among other features of the iPhone 6 is impossible not to note the appearance of support for NFC, support LTE Cat. 6, as well as improved support for headphones with HD Audio.
Traditionally, Apple will not delay the start of sales of the new iPhone in the closet - on the shelves the new flagship (at least 4.7-inch model) will be the end of September. It is argued that the cost of the device will be $ 100 higher than the current model.
Apple iWatch
According to previous data, the announcement of "smart" clock was to be held in December this year, but in the wake of the latest rumors like no one can be no doubt that the accessory will be presented today. About Watches Not much is known, but what is known, it is worth to expose some doubt. In any case, it is expected that the watch will be released in two versions: with 1,3 and 1.5-inch curved screen with a protective sapphire crystal. Some argue that the older model will get much larger screen, with figures called up to 2.5 inches. In addition, each of the models will be released in 4 colors, for a total market will be presented 8 models Apple iWatch. The template to be used OLED-panel which has good color rendering and a comparatively energy efficient.
Another important feature of the iWatch will be a huge number of sensors that are integrated into the watch. Among them: the light sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a pulse oximeter, glucometer, sensor ultraviolet radiation. This was in the early years of an analyst Electrical Engineering Times Sung Chang Xu, who has information about the supply chain of components for hours from Apple. However, it is possible that Apple refuses to monitor the level of glucose in the blood, as the existing non-invasive measurement techniques are too inaccurate. Meanwhile, the inclusion of a complete set of optical sensors in smart hours seems quite logical and necessary step. The principle of operation of such devices, united by the common name "pulse oximeter" is quite simple: two sources of light projected onto the human skin with light of different wavelengths, which allows special sensor to "see" as pulsating blood vessels under the skin of the person. The microprocessor calculates the difference between the initial value and the received signal, thereby calculating the blood oxygen saturation. At the same time possible calculation of heart rate, which is automatic and does not require the owner of the gadget any effort. It is possible that the main role in this process will play a coprocessor M7, which debuted a year ago with the processor A7.
As for the software component, it is argued that the clock will support applications from third-party developers who have already received development tools, and all the available programs will be accumulated in the company's app store. IWatch also receive a microphone and speaker, which may indicate the full support of the voice assistant Siri. Interestingly, the body receives a phenomenal accessory protection against the ingress of moisture: iWatch can withstand immersion to a depth of 20 meters. But the battery life is not impressive - about a day's use. It is possible that the clock will be able to wireless charging.
It is expected that iWatch go into production in November, and in the sale of watches will appear in early 2015. Rumors about the cost of the devices range from $ 299 to $ 400. It is important to note that the iWatch will work only with devices from Apple, while the owners of the devices to other mobile operating systems will not be able to try the new invention of Apple's action.
Apple iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 2 with Retina-display
We will be very frank: the chances that the company will show bosses kupertinovskoy today new plates is negligible. It is connected with the tradition of Apple to Spread premiere top devices on different dates, so they are most likely to see these devices in the second half of October. However, it is already known about the relatively large number of plates. Firstly, Apple retain diagonal devices: 9.7 and 7.9 inches. Screen resolution in both cases also remain the same - 2048x1536 pixels. Displays will receive a special anti-reflective coating, which, according to developers, will make the process of reading from the screen is much nicer. It is also known that as the processor will be used already known chip Apple A8, and as the operating system - iOS 8. The latter, incidentally, can bring to the plates during multi.
Recall that after the release of the beta version of iOS 8, the developer Stephen Truton Smith posted on his Twitter message, according to which iOS code 8 is the possibility of simultaneous opening of two applications with a ratio of 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4, with in the App Switcher they appear as one application running.
As for memory, it became known that its volume, the new product will increase by 2 times compared to the iPad Air - up to 2 GB.Information came from a source which, according to him, close to the production process. He also said that the doubling of RAM affects only iPad Air 2, a smaller version of the iPad mini with Retina display will retain the previous amount of RAM, but all other specifications are the same as the older model. This is somewhat ambiguous on the background of standardization of hardware "stuffing" mobile Apple. But that has not exactly been questioned, since it is the appearance of fingerprint sensor Touch ID. It will play an important role in the security system and will provide an opportunity to use the system of cashless purchases Apple iWallet.
iPad Air 2 will be thinner than its predecessor.
On the right side of the switch disappears responsible for tablet orientation lock or mute.
Grill audio speakers will change its design, the holes are lined up in a row and get a larger diameter.
As for the younger version of iPad, is known about it even less. It is alleged that the thickness of the shell iPad Mini 2 may be reduced by 30%, which means the index of about 5 mm. How Apple plans to achieve a thickness of the body - not reported, so please treat this information with a healthy dose of skepticism. Meanwhile, other sources believe that the tablet design will change again. This time kupertinovskaya company intends to unify the appearance of the iPhone 6 and the "younger" tablet due to more rounded edges of the housing.
iPhoneBul will follow closely the presentation of Apple, to quickly tell our readers about all the updates that Apple will show tonight.
