2017苹果发布会大揭秘!你想知道的都有噢
Apple fans are waiting with baited breath for the arrival of the iPhone 8 in early September . The wide-screen iPhone is believed to mark the tenth anniversary of the gadget and arrive with a number of eye-popping features. It's also rumoured to cost around £1,000 - which could price most people out of an upgrade. However, the gigantic tech company is heavily tipped to open proceedings with an updated version of the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Sources have apparently told Apple-focused site Mac4Ever that the company is planning to launch its next iPhones on September 12 . What's more, they believe that the new phones will be available to pre-order from Friday, September 15. They could be in store (or online) as soon as September 22. The site reports that mobile operators have been told the date by Apple in preparation for what could be the biggest gadget launch of the year. Although these dates fit in with Apple's history, the information is still unconfirmed so it shouldn't be taken as gospel at the moment. If the rumours mentioned above prove true and Apple does host an event on September 12, then there's only a few weeks left to wait. With the iPhone 8 rumoured to be priced around £999, the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus will appeal to those of us on more of a budget. The iPhone 7 starts at £599 for the 32GB version, goes up to £699 for the 128GB model and ends at £799 for 256GB. This could go one of two ways. Either, Apple will keep the design largely the same as the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus or it could decide to implement the kinds of changes we've seen with the iPhone 8. The latter option would mean an edge-to-edge display, glass body and the omission of the iconic Home button. Apple may choose to keep the price down by not giving the 7s and 7s Plus an OLED display and keeping the specs in check.. However, keeping the design the same would mean very little difference, at least outwardly, from the current iPhone. Screen sizes are likely to stay at 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch options regardless of which design Apple chooses. Last year's iPhone 6s featured an updated processor that Apple said was 70% faster than its predecessor. It also bumped the graphical power and, thanks to some software changes, upped the amount of time it could go between charges. We'd expect to see some similar refinements in 2017 for the two new handsets that will form the core of Apple's line-up. Tech website Cnet breaks down the iPhone 7s specs as being led by either an A10X or A11 processor and 2GB of RAM. The software will be iOS 11. The storage options are also unlikely to change, giving you the option of 32GB, 128GB or 256GB models. Most of the big new features are believed to be arriving in the premium iPhone 8, but Apple may carry a few over to the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. The biggest of these is believed to be support for wireless charging . Apple may decide to make the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus with a glass body rather than metal in order to make it more conducive for wireless charging. According to the Inquirer , Apple will limit wireless charging to 7.5w - which is half the 15w maximum of the Qi standard. That means the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus may only charge half as quickly as other phones that also offer the feature. Lastly, Apple could be set to increase the waterprooding functionality for the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus - something that will no doubt be appreciated by anyone that's taken their iPhone with them to the beach. |
