iPhone XC, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max: What to Expect From Apple’s Launch Event

Sep. 10, 2018

Three Variants

Apple is expected to completely embrace the iPhone X design, giving us three iPhones with a notch and no bezels anywhere in sight. According to multiple reports, the Cupertino giant will belaunching three new iPhone variantsthis year:

The first of the three is expected to be an upgrade over last year’s iPhone X, and will most likely be called iPhone XS. The phone is expected to come with a5.8-inch OLED display, a glass sandwich design like the current iPhone X, and a stainless steel frame (same as the current iPhone X).

The second new iPhone is also expected to stick with the iPhone X like design, and come with anenormous 6.5-inch OLED display. This rather huge iPhone is tipped to be named iPhone XS Max. The phone is also expected to feature a glass sandwich design along with a stainless steel frame and isexpected to be the high-end iPhone this year.

The third iPhone has been tipped to be called iPhone 9 and even iPhone 11, but we think the final name will be iPhone XC, which has been rumored for the past couple of days.  It is expected to come with a6.1-inch LCD display, a glass sandwich design along with an aluminium frame instead of stainless steel — all to cut down on production costs. This one is expected to come inmultiple colorsas well.

Obviously, the new iPhones are going to come withhardware improvements, camera improvements, and hopefully no less ports.

We’re expecting both the OLED iPhones to come in the same three colors — Space Gray, White, and Rose Gold. However, the third, 6.1-inch LCD iPhone is expected to be offered in multiple colors to appeal to a wider audience perhaps. If that’s the case, we’d love it to be offered in colors similar to the palette followed by Apple with the iPhone 5C.

The iPhone X from last year was priced at $999 and while most people expected sales to take a hit (and they did),Applestilldid pretty wellwith its most expensive iPhone launch. This year however, the Cupertino giant is rumored to be going with a more aggressive pricing. As per reports, the three iPhones are expected to start at the following prices:

The most expensive iPhone is still priced the same as last year’s iPhone X, but it looks like Apple is hoping for the $699 iPhone to appeal to a much wider user base than what iPhones usually appeal to.

We’re also expecting Apple to launch the new iPhones with an improved version of Face ID. In its current state, Face ID is by far the most secure facial recognition on any smartphone to it. However, it does have its limitations. Firstly, ittakes awfully long to unlockand that quickly gets annoying. Plus, Face IDdoesn’t work in landscape moderight now.

We’re expecting Apple to fix these issues with Face ID 2.0, which means the new iPhones could have a biometric authentication mechanism that’s every bit as secure as Face ID, and hopefully pretty fast too.

While there have been rumors about Apple working on an under-screen fingerprint scanner (and the company might well be), these iPhones are not expected to come with any such technology. Apple will most definitely stick with just Face ID on the new iPhones, as has been suggested byreports.

This one isn’t so much as what we’re expecting as it is what we definitely know about the new iPhones. They’ll obviously come with the latest iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system which brings along a bunch ofcool new featuresandperformance improvement.
