Technicational

Wow, time certainly flies… I can’t believe it’s been one (1) whole entire year since I have posted a blog. Many may of thought that I died. Nope, I was just trying to get my YouTube channel to a respectable subscription base and then I got lost into video editing realm as well. So, I’m back from out of the shadows, and what brought me back? New phones of course and the particular ones I’m blogging about today are the new iPhones. This year apple shook things up and unveiled not one, not two, but three phones! The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and new designed iPhone X (Ten). First things first, why did Apple ditch there numbering scheme for their phone this year? I was expecting an iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. The “S” in the naming would let consumers know that the phone had the same design as last year’s model, but had better internal components.
So, looking on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus specification sheet there are some serious improvements over last year’s iPhone, but none that valid the skip from iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. Maybe, this is all a marketing ploy to trick the subconscious of the consumer to buy this new product. Apart from this confusion, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus has some very interesting features that should be pointed out.



Highlighted Features:

• 4K video recording at 60FPS. I never knew it was possible on a mobile device. This is a dream come through for content creators like myself. Recording videos at a resolution of 60FPS allows you to be more creative when editing the video for upload.
• 1080P recording at 240FPS. This simply means you can now do slow motion at full HD resolution. Again, this is very beneficial for content creators.
• Better stereo speakers. This is a must if you are going to view a lot of media on your phone.
• Base model is now 64GB of storage. Finally, Apple has thrown out the ideal that 16GB of storage was acceptable in this day and age.
• It’s IP68 certified. Its more resistant to dust and water which is always a good thing. •Wireless charging… I can’t believe this wasn’t a feature of iPhones yet, but at least it finally here. 

As I said before, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus has some interesting features, but there was one more phone that Apple unveiled today that has all of that and much more.
Here comes the iPhone X. This is the crowning jewel of Apple engineers. The iPhone X has a breathtaking design that you wouldn’t expect from Apple. The main points that made the iPhone X standout from the rest are as follows.

The Power of X: 

• New design. As you can see from the many pictures circulating the internet. This iPhone has removed its home button and went for a sleeker look. The screen to body ratio for this phone is high, with nearly no bezels showing around the screen. 
• Face ID. So, no home button means no finger print scanner. The new way to secure the iPhone X is with facial recognition which Apples claims is more secure than touch ID, and can’t be fooled by a picture. 
• Augmented reality. A lot was shown about this aspect of the iPhone X. Persons were mapping their facial movements to an animated emoji with frightening accuracy. What I’m really excited about is what developers are going to do with this new found feature on the iPhone X. 
• The Display. The iPhone X has a Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels, and support Dolby Vision and HDR 10. This means the iPhone X can view HDR content with no problem.

Apple, has certainly out done itself this year. So, who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
