Today, Apple executives took the stage to talk about this year's newest devices. As expected, and what had been leaked more often than Apple probably would have liked, the company officially unveiled the newest flagships: The iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max.
As is par for the course with a new "S-year" upgrade, these new smartphones are updated visions from what Apple launched last year with the iPhone X. That means upgrades to the processor and camera, as well as the displays. Specifically, the iPhone XS display now features HDR10 and Dolby Vision for High Dynamic Range content, even as it measures in at the 5.8 inches. It is still the Super Retina display, but now features 2.7 million pixels and 458 pixels per inch. While looking at colors, the display has 60% greater dynamic range, which should make them even more realistic while being viewed on the display.
Meanwhile, the iPhone XS Max's display measures in at 6.5 inches, and it also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. It has 458 pixels per inch, and supports 3.3 million pixels. Basically, it's the same Super Retina display that's available in the iPhone Xs -- just bigger. With that being said, the iPhone XS Max is about the same total size as the iPhone 8 Plus, so even though the screen is bigger, it should still feel comfortable in the hand.
Meanwhile, Apple is putting an A12 Bionic processor under the hood. This is the first 7nm processor in a smartphone, and it is a six-core Fusion design put together by Apple. There are two high-performance cores coupled with four high-efficiency cores. Apple says the high-performance cores are 50 percent faster than the A11 Bionic processor, while the high-efficiency cores are 40 percent more efficient than last year's processor.
The GPU, according to Apple, is 50% faster than last year's model, and the new Neural Engine inside is now eight cores instead of two. According to the company the A12 Bionic can handle 5 trillion operations per second.
And, as Apple announced earlier this year, Apple's iOS 12 will be available on the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max when it launches.
