| iPhone 11 Shock As 'All-New' Apple iPhone Revealed - Forbes Posted: 07 Sep 2019 05:50 PM PDT  Apple's new iPhone 11 range launches next week and the headline upgrades are likely to win as many fans as their polarising designs lose. But be warned, we now know Apple has something far more radical lined-up. Folding iPhone concept EverythingAppleProIn a new report obtained by 9to5Mac, famed Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo has confirmed that Apple will overhaul the three biggest features of the iPhone 11 next year. And these are changes users will care about. First, Kuo states that Apple will deliver an "all-new form factor design" in 2020. The term 'form factor' implies a completely different kind of iPhone and Apple has already gone public with its work on a folding iPhone. But even if Kuo is only referring to an overhaul of the current design, this will be a big selling point as the iPhone X notch will be four years old at that point. Second, Kuo states 5G is coming to all 2020 iPhones. This doubles down on a similar claim he made in July and with Apple one of the few companies which won't offer customers any 5G option this year, this catch-up is essential in 2020. iPhone 2020 concept EverythingAppleProThird, camera upgrades. The biggest iPhone 11 upgrade is its triple-lens camera, but Apple also dropped radical 3D mapping technology from it along with a Time Of Flight sensor which has become common on rival flagships. Kuo doesn't spell out that these will be the changes in 2020, but Bloomberg is convinced. In addition to this, Kuo has already stated Apple will produce new iPhone screen sizes next year while the return of Touch ID, 120Hz ProMotion displays and the long-awaited move to USB-C are hotly tipped. So iPhone 11 buyers be warned: much like the iPhone 8, you'll be buying into the final generation of an ageing iPhone design tied to connectivity Apple is already teasing as outdated. And the asking price remains high. The decision is yours but, come 2020, I suspect upgraders will regret it. ___ Follow Gordon on Twitter and Facebook More On Forbes 2020 iPhone Has In-Display Touch ID, Says Bloomberg Leaked Apple iPhone 11 Benchmarks Reveal Disappointing Upgrade Massive iOS Hack Raises Questions About Apple's iPhone, iPad Security Apple Tipster Reveals 'Completely Different' iPhone 11 |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2019 05:00 AM PDT  Apple's 'By innovation only' keynote is just around the corner, but that doesn't mean the leaks and countless reports will stop. According to a fresh series of info, the Apple logo is to be present at the backside of all 2019 iPhones and it's not going to be there just because the company felt like executing a little design change. It's there for a reason; to help users with reverse wireless charging. Logo to Help Users Place Qi-Enabled Devices to Allow for 2019 iPhones to Start Charging Them WirelesslyA Bloomberg report states that when the 2019 iPhones are officially here, there will be a subtle change added in the form of the Apple logo. However, the change won't be added to bump up the aesthetics or to show the surrounding people that you have the latest and greatest iPhone in the palm of your hand. The change is actually a clever one if it turns out to be true. Similar to wireless charging, reverse wireless charging does have some conveniences in the sense that you'll have to accurately align the device in a specific position otherwise it won't juice up. The Apple logo will serve as a form of 'guiding star' to help users place their Qi-enabled devices like AirPods charging case or even the Apple Watch. It's not confirmed if non-Apple products such as the Galaxy Buds will be able to charge when placed right on top of that Apple logo. What we do know is that the company is rumored to incorporate all three 2019 iPhones with bigger batteries than their predecessors. The extra capacity should not only help with additional 'screen on' time but provide leftover juice to top up Qi-enabled devices and accessories. Other interesting features include improved water-resistance and durable glass to protect the 2019 iPhones from water bodies and drops, though you should keep in mind that since it's glass and not metal, you should exercise more caution. The keynote will kick off on September 11, and if there's anything you need to know about the iPhone 11 event, you can always keep track through our detailed roundup.

| Audio-Technica's $99 true wireless earbuds sound amazing - Engadget Posted: 08 Sep 2019 07:46 AM PDT Sponsored Links Audio-Technica is no stranger to the true wireless game, and at IFA this week, the company debuted two new models. For me, the $99 ATH-CK3TW is the more compelling of the two, mostly because it's great to see one of the audio giants introduce a set that won't break the bank. Audio-Technica's other new model, the ATH-CKS5TW, is also affordable at $149. However, I was most curious to see what the company could accomplish for under $100. As it turns out, the ATH-CK3TW is a really great-sounding pair that I can't wait to spend more time with. I immediately noticed the small size of the ATH-CK3TW buds themselves. These things are pretty tiny, which means the included charging case is also quite compact. Even with the smaller size, Audio-Technica didn't leave out on-board controls. There are touch options on each side that allow you control volume, skip tracks and take calls. This model also gives you hands-free access to Google Assistant and Siri should you need to summon them. The ATH-CK3TW leverages Qualcomm's True Wireless Stereo Plus for low latency to help improve the stability of that all-important Bluetooth connection. Despite the tiny earbuds and the low price, Audio-Technica still offers six hours of battery life on a charge with 24 more hours in the case itself. That's a lot of listening time for a manageable investment. And the best part of all of it is these things sound amazing. The ATH-CK3TW offered crisp and clear audio through a range of genres as I hopped around Spotify on my phone. There's plenty of bass, but not too much, and instruments are able to all come through individually. I was also impressed with how quickly the ATH-CK3TW paired with my phone in the chaos of the IFA show floor and its millions of wireless devices. The only downside is you'll have to wait until November to get your hands on these. But when you can, the $99 ATH-CK3TW may be one of the best options under $100 you can buy. I'm certainly looking forward to finding out for sure when I'm able to do a full review. I was also able to briefly test Audio-Technica's other new model, the ATH-CKS5TW. At $149, these are another solid option for someone on a budget with sound quality that's better than a lot of more expensive true wireless earbuds. The company has a knack for fine-tuning headphones that gives lows, mids and highs their proper attention, and Audio-Technica's headphones have always had great clarity to me. That's all true of the ATH-CKS5TW. I did notice about halfway through my demo that the device I was connected to was playing FLAC files, so I'm not quite ready to give any concrete impressions just yet. That lossless file format isn't what a lot of people will listen to on a daily basis, so I'll wait for the review unit before any lasting judgement. However, I will say that the ATH-CKS5TW made a nice first impression sound-wise. Audio-Technica says these will support aptX, SBC and AAC "for the best-possible wireless audio quality." So if higher resolution and lossless is your thing, the ATH-CKS5TW should be able to handle them. Battery life is also very good at 15 hours. And with the charging case, you'll get 30 more hours before you'll need to search for a plug. There are physical buttons on the ATH-CKS5TW for controlling music, adjusting volume and taking calls. The company has also built the Audio-Technica Connect mobile app that will help you adjust settings and, perhaps more importantly, located a lost earbud. The ATH-CKS5TW is set to go on sale this month, so if you can't wait for the $99 model, at least you'll have an option from the same company. Catch up on all the latest news from IFA 2019 here!  |
