All about the next Apple phone
The next iPhone could use its full screen as a speaker
At Apple they never stop. Although only a few months ago the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR were presented, the rumors about the next iPhone 2019 came immediately, and with the months have only increased. While most of the information has not yet been confirmed, it appears that the flagship phones of Apple 2019 could include a variety of updates, ranging from a new design, to improved cutting-edge features in their cameras. With curiosity? Here is everything we know about the 2019 iPhone so far.
SPECIFICATIONS / FUNCTIONS
In 2019, many manufacturers are working on folding screens for their flagship phones. And while it is obvious that Apple is working on its own designs, we believe that in the short term it could offer something a little more practical, at least from an audio perspective. A recent patent application suggests that Apple may be about to replace the current iPhone with a mechanism that allows the screen to act as a speaker.
We already know that smart phones are wonders of engineering, since they must integrate a large amount of sophisticated technology in a small space. Multiple cameras, microphones, biometric sensors, large batteries, fast processors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. And every millimeter that one of these components requires is one less for all the others. Do you remember Apple's decision to remove the headphone jack? Phil Schiller said it was to help with waterproofing, but the internal space saved by eliminating it was probably the main reason for its demise. Therefore, if you design a way to make the whole screen of a phone a speaker, you will simply save more space.
However, the next Apple iPhone will feature this technology? We'll have to wait until September to find out.
On the other hand, another interesting rumor about the iPhone of 2019 is the introduction of what is called "bilateral wireless charging", which will allow the iPhone to charge other devices. Huawei introduced a similar system with the Mate 20 Pro, which allows its battery to wirelessly charge other compatible smartphones, but the Apple version could be different and only load other Apple devices such as the Apple Watch or a new generation of AirPods. In addition, phones may have improved connectivity for indoor navigation and positioning, larger batteries and improved facial identification. In addition, it is rumored that Apple could leave 3D Touch in 2019, a function that no longer appears in the current iPhone XR.
DESIGN
What will Apple do with the 2019 iPhone design? One of the biggest changes could be the introduction of a USB Type-C port.
And, although the first rumors suggested that this year's iPhone could be launched with a USB-C connector - a Bloomberg report pointed out that Apple was testing iPhones with the universal port - the latest rumors say that Apple will continue with its Lightning port. for at least another year.
This latest information comes from Mac Otakara who says that the iPhones of 2019 are expected to come with the Apple port instead of with a USB-C. Unfortunately for iPhone fans, he also mentions that Apple is likely to send the new iPhone with a 5W charger again, which would mean the need to buy another more expensive charger if you want to quickly charge your iPhone.
However, the use of the USB-C port in the iPad Pro of 2018 was noted as good evidence that Apple was looking in that direction. In addition, the USB-C port offers functionality similar to that of the Lightning port, but has a much wider accessory store. And the EU began to push for a universal standard for charging phones by 2018.
On the other hand, in other news about the design of the new iPhone, a filtered render, based on an engineering prototype, shows an Apple phone that looks like the current models from the front, but that looks very different from the back side.
The horizontal camera module is mounted on the top and center. The module contains three lenses, with the central lens surrounded by a unit for the flash. The leak, from @onleaks and compareaja.in, is not official and is not definitive proof.
However, the site claims that it is one of the designs that Apple is examining and that it looks very different from current models.
While this render shows a notch, there are rumors that Apple could introduce a screen like the Honor View 20 and the Samsung Galaxy A8s. While a patent filed in June 2018 suggested that Apple would pursue that same trend in the 2019 iPhone, the claims of Ice Universe suggest that we will not see it until 2020.
