Apple held their annual event unveiling new products this month, leaving some people disappointed. Three new iPhones and a new Apple Watch were shown, though based on reports they were pretty much everything that everyone thought they would be.
The iPhone XS, the iPhone XR, and the Apple Watch Series 4 are all joining the fruit family. Quietly the same day, and not mentioned during the event, a handful of older devices became retired, making room for the new. The iPhone 6s and iPhone SE are no longer, along with any mention of the planned AirPower wireless charger we first heard about last year. While many people typically look forward to this event, this year’s felt lackluster to some, especially with no real surprises or “wow” moments.
Some new things to note include the dual-SIM card system in the iPhone XS, a camera feature allowing you to change certain effects on portrait photos after they’ve been taken, and the surprising idea that the more affordable option, the iPhone XR might actually be the superior option if you’re thinking about purchasing. The XR is less expensive, available in more fun colors, has a bigger display, while also having the same A12 Bionic chip and camera feature portrait mode as the XS.
