A Brief Guide To Everything Apple Announced During Its Event

September is always an eventful month for Apple, and of course, for its fans, especially those eager to know what new cool stuff the tech giant is announcing and will be releasing later in the year, or during the busy holiday shopping season. For this year, Apple has once again unveiled some new products that will be talked about for months, that is until rumors of the next iPhone model start to circulate. So scroll down below to find out what’s new.

The iPhone X

What’s not to like? The 5.8 inch iPhone X offers an all screen front side (with the home button nowhere to be found), and instead of Touch ID (a casualty of the removal of the home button), the device has Face ID, which makes full use of facial recognition technology and a specially designed front side camera to allow users to unlock the device by having it scan their face. Other notable specs include the A11 Bionic chip set, which features four cores that allow 70 percent better processing power than the A10 Fusion processor.

The iPhone X also offers ANIMOJI, a feature that should provide plenty of fun for users. What it does is use the same facial scanning tech to turn people’s faces into animated emoji. The iPhone X also comes with support for wireless charging, and although its AirPower will not come out until next year, the iPhone X is compatible with any Qi standard wireless charger.

Actually, there is plenty -- the new devices have a stylish glass back, the Retina HD display, and Apple’s new A11 Bionic chip, the tech giant’s most powerful chip ever (see previous paragraph). Also, the devices deliver enhance camera specs and new photo features that allow users to replicate studio effects.

The Apple Watch Series 3

It may look basically the same as the existing Apple Watch, but it has got LTE connectivity, which not only makes it more cooler, but infinitely more useful.
