According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will release an iPhone X Plus next year with the biggest smartphone screen the company has ever made. Kuo says Apple will release three iPhones in 2018 with a notch design. There will supposedly be a 5.8-inch (updated X) and a 6.5-inch model, both with OLED displays. The third iPhone will supposedly have a 6.1-inch LCD display but come with the same bezel-free design as the iPhone X. The 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus will have a display with 480 to 500 pixels per inch, possibly making it more pixel dense than the iPhone X. The 6.1-inch LCD version will only have a display with 320 to 330 PPI.   iPhone will get rear-facing 3D sensors in 2019 https://www.cultofmac.com/513959/iphone-rear-3d-sensor/ According to a Bloomberg, Apple is working on a new rear-mounted “3D sensor” for its 2019 iPhone, which will help further the company’s augmented reality ambitions. The new system will work using lasers and measuring the amount of time it takes for them to bounce back to create a depth map. This is reportedly different to the TrueDepth sensor system used on the front of the iPhone X, which uses a pattern of 30,000 laser dots to measure depth information for features like Face ID.   Two big features coming to your iPhone 8 and X with the release of iOS 11.2 https://www.cultofmac.com/513967/iphones-get-faster-7-5w-wireless-charging-with-ios-11-2/ Apple Pay cash, which will work on the iPad. Apple has added support for faster 7.5W wireless charging in its latest iOS 11.2 beta. iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X all support the increased charging speed. You’ll need a compatible wireless charging mat to take advantage of it, however.   2018 iPad Pro could get 8-core A11X Bionic chip https://www.cultofmac.com/514291/2018-ipad-pro-get-8-core-a11x-bionic-chip/ Apple supposedly plans to slap an octa-core processor in next year’s iPad Pro, making them the most powerful tablets Apple’s ever made. For the iPhone X and iPhone 8, Apple created the A11 Bionic chip that comes with two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. This is the same chip that is currently faster than the chips in 2012 iMacs and my 2013 MacBook Pro. My machine is 33% in multicore tests, but image if they add another 2 high performance cores to the iPad.     Under Review   Eve Degree http://amzn.to/2zMDlRf   Eve Room http://amzn.to/2yQhViQ   Eve Weather http://amzn.to/2zLwQ1e   Chocolate Hub https://igg.me/at/chocolatehub/x   Ecobee 4 http://amzn.to/2j0RuAv   Juuk  Watch Bands https://store.cultofmac.com   Patagonia Micropuff Jacket http://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-micro-puff-hoody/84030.html
