Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and Apple Watch Event

[Val-kyrie]

Most secure "facial" authentication in a smartphone ever.

Still not convinced it is more secure than TouchID.

 

[BFG86]

wish they would fix the problems with face id on the x with some software updates

 

[DevNull0]

Yeah, because Apple had anything to do with designing a 7nm fab. They're renting time on someone else's chip fab and pretending they had something to do with creating it.

 

[mi7chy]

Being that it's designed in California the proper valleyspeak is iPhone Xs To The Max.

 

[Enygmatic]

Who cares. 120hz baby

120hz touch response, same as iPhone X. Not the refresh rate, a la iPad Pro.

 

[arkitect]

crossing my fingers for new macs too

Well, we can dream.

 

[BigSky20]

The Apple event is 2 hrs right? I mean for how long can they talk about a phone? Come on "ONE MORE THING"

They have 5 more videos to show! I hope so...I love the One More Thing

 

[Rogifan]

Not a bad postulation. I'd have no problem believing it.

That would suck. Just more fragmentation.

 

[skinned66]

Yikes that A12 bionic sounds monster.

 

[Donga120]

600 billion operations per second for the A11 neural engine. The A12 can do 5 trillion operations per second.

 

[CooKieMoNs7eR]

He’s rushing through everything, no one paid attention to the max ppi? It’s 458 same as 5.8 iPhone

 

[DeepIn2U]

8-core Neural Engine? What in te actual F?! Crazy!

 

[maflynn]

wow, that does look pretty potent.

 

[idark77]

These new iPhones are amazing and powerful!!!

 

[keysofanxiety]

I have to admit, Apple’s software/hardware optimisation is ridiculously good. This phone is going to scream.

 

[yaxomoxay]

8-core Neural Engine? What in te actual F?! Crazy!

Skynet begins.

 

[fathergll]

 

[44267547]

Why not XS Plus?

Because I think they want to get away from the Plus moniker from what the old design iPhone used to be.

 

[Rogifan]

A12 can process 5 trillion operations per second. Apple’s chip team is on fire.

 

[ctg7w6]

If your neural engine is so good, why can't it do faceid sideways? WTF.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Ok 5 trillion ops per second? Ok where is hidden MacOS on my iOS device? You know for desktop lightning cable connections

512GB!!!

 

[macduke]

600M operations increased to 5T operations per second for AI is pretty wild. Hopefully this truly does make Face ID faster and more accurate.

 

[neander]

ProMotion is the future.. in the future. Everywhere TVs etc.

They might think its unnecessary yet for the effort.

 

[ssl0408]

Both phones have the same ppi. I guess I’ll be sticking with the smaller one.

 

[JPack]

More cores, more cores, great.

They're finally promoting the entire SoC like Qualcomm does. It's more than just performance. There's image quality, audio quality, HDR.
