autumn means it's time for lots of things 18 hours of football every
weekend stores trying to shove pumpkin flavored junk food down your throat and
another iphone but wait
something's different this year we're not getting one but two
distinct apple smartphones the iphone 8
and the iphone 8 plus oh wait also the 10 that's three
and by the way no we don't know what happened to the iphone 9 maybe they got
their naming inspiration from another tech company it wouldn't be the first
time anyway let's dive right into the features so you can decide if the new
iphone models might be sensible upgrades for you
both models are available in either 64 or
Gigabyte capacities a welcome change after apple developed a bit of a
reputation for offering lower capacities than competing flagship smartphones and
although some features are simply carried over from the iphone 7 such as
the same camera lenses the same ip67 dust and water resistance and the same
lightning connector despite hopes that apple would switch to the open usbc
standard there are enough new features here to
raise some eyebrows including industry
standard wireless chi charging so at least you
won't have to fumble around with said lightning cord when you need some more
apple juice okay bad puns aside apple is also
promising their highest quality photos yet with the rear camera rocking a new
larger image sensor you can learn more about why that's important up here but
the basic idea is that this will allow more light to enter the phone resulting
in more detailed shots and apple has
also said it delivers better low light performance and dynamic range than ever
before and speaking of light the new iphones go a step beyond automatic
control of the screen brightness and will also attempt to adjust the color of
the display changing it on the fly based on your ambient light conditions
apple is also promising a wider color gamut for the lcd display
but if looks don't matter as much as uh
what's on the inside to you you won't be disappointed either the iphone 8 and 10
both come with the new a11 soc and early
reports are indicating that it is crushing its Android rivals in synthetic
tests like geekbench but what are the extras you're getting
if you opt for the significantly more expensive iphone 10 well it gets a few
new design features that we haven't yet seen on an iphone
first up apple has hopped on to the bezel-less or rather almost bezel-less
hype train even going as far as to ditch their
iconic home button it's been replaced by
a swipe up so finding your way around the phone might take some getting used
to it also gets an OLED display running at
a somewhat wacky 1125p resolution
still the highest though that any iphone has offered apple also claims that this
display has a million to one contrast
ratio and while that number may or may not be
fudged which you can learn more about here this is still easily the highest
contrast display that apple has ever released as part of a smartphone
it also boasts the largest screen of any iphone ever with a 5.8 inch display and
a battery that apple says can deliver up to 21 hours of talk time versus 14 for
the iphone 8. well okay Linus that's great and all
but these are actually all features that we've had on Android phones for a while
now is apple offering us anything that's actually new
well yes actually the big selling point in that regard is face id which for now
is an iphone 10 exclusive instead of the touch id technology
that's been with us since the iphone 5 you can instead unlock your phone and
make purchases by using the front camera
which maps a 3d model of your face with
over 30 000 data points a more advanced
solution than the 2d face recognition on the galaxy s8 which apple is claiming is
much more secure than touch id
unless of course you have an identical twin as a side note this tech also lets you
record and send animated messages to your friends using one of apple's baked
in 3d characters they are going to sell so many of these
based on that feature alone at least assuming anyone can afford them
obviously new iphones aren't cheap in general and this is especially true with
apple releasing the super high-end iphone 10 in tandem with the more
mainstream eight and eight plus so you can expect to pay at least 700 us
dollars and as much as 1150
depending on exactly which model you want and which capacity
which gets me thinking maybe face id could be updated to let siri know to you
know comfort you if you look stressed out from all that credit card debt

them well synergy lets you consolidate

multiple computers and it even works cross-platform so if
you have like a mac that you use for development and a Windows machine that
you use for gaming bam you can just use the same peripherals for both seamlessly
moving between them with your mouse cursor and it's got tons of other great
features as well including clipboard sharing
dragging and dropping between the computers the ability to set up custom
