iPhone X case (2017)

I’ve fallen in love with a couple of fabric cases for the original iPhone X. The design consists of a fabric material on the top half and PU leather on the lower half. The look and feel are good plus the bottom portion is actually a pocket where you can store a credit card, receipt, ID card or the like. I bought two versions of this case, black/dark gray which is shown in the photo and brown/light gray from Amazon. 

The cases are from a company called XOOMZ and are marketed as wallet cases. 

Apple iPhone Event 2018

The opening video sequence for the event was cool, it was a take on the Mission Impossible movie series, that ended with a secret briefcase being opened to show a custom presentation remote for the Apple keynote. 

First up is a new Apple Watch with a 30% larger display yet thinner body. This version is the Series 4, providing better reception as a result of new ceramics material combined with safire glass on both sides, the S4 chip, and a new accelerometer are some of the hardware upgrades now available. On the software front, the device can now take an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which is amazing and the first of its kind and will add yet another health tracking feature that consumers can use to maintain a healthy life. The new watch faces, new digital crown, 18 hour battery life and WatchOS 5 keep the device at the forefront of smart watches. 

Next, is the new iPhone Xs, made of stainless steel with a new gold, silver and space gray finishes. There’s the normal 5.8 inch OLED display model, and a 6.5 inch Xs Max model both with HDR. The new A12 Bionic chip is the first 7 nanometer processor that contains 10 cores. It has an 8 core Neural Engine that can process 5 trillion processes per second. This is useful for the much improved Machine Learning, AR and VR experiences. The new iPhones can be configured with up to 512gb of storage. New cameras,

with Smart HDR and adjustable depth of field allow creation of more beautiful photos. Better battery life, gigabit class LTE, and dual SIMS with eSIM technology provide world class connectivity and performance. 

But, there’s one more iPhone on the way, the iPhone Xr with an aluminum finish and an edge to edge display. It has a 6.1 inch LCD display that includes Face Id and a single camera system that supports portrait mode and is running the A12 Bionic chip.

All the new iPhones Xr’s will come in several fun colors and just like the new flagship iPhone Xs and Xs Max will be come running iOS 12.
