FTC Notice
Pursuant to 16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, please note: (1) iPhone software and hardware developers routinely send me free versions of their products to review. I sometimes keep and continue to use these products that I did not pay for after posting my review, which might be considered a form of compensation for my review, but I do not believe that I let that color my review. (2) When I post links to product pages on certain stores, including but not limited to Amazon and the iTunes App Store, my links include a referral code so that when products are purchased after clicking on the link, I often receive a very small percentage of the sale. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Again, I do not believe that I let that color my review of products. (3) Some of the ads that run on this website are selected by others such as Amazon or Google. If one of these ads comes from the seller of a product reviewed on iPhone J.D., that is a coincidence and I do not believe that it colors my review of that product. Other ads are from paid advertisers, and if I discuss a product from a company that is a current advertiser, I will note that. (4) Some of the ads that run on this website are from monthly sponsors of iPhone J.D. When I discuss products from these companies on iPhone J.D., I do so to pass along information provided to me by the sponsor. Often, I will also provide my own commentary on the product, and while my goal is to be honest, please keep in mind that I was compensated to promote the product. If you have any questions about this, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on a specific product review.
If Apple takes the same approach that it has for many years now, we will see new iPhones early next month. In prior years, new iPhones were introduced on Sept. 12, 2018, Sept. 12, 2017, Sept. 7, 2016, Sept. 9, 2015, Sept. 9, 2014, Sept. 10, 2013, and Sept. 12, 2012. There are lots of rumors on what will be introduced, but typically one of the best source for these predictions is Mark Gurman, now at Bloomberg. Yesterday, Gurman predicted that we will see three new iPhones. Unlike the current lineup (iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max), Gurman predicts that next month we will see a regular iPhone and two high-end iPhones called the iPhone Pro. "The main feature of the Pro iPhones will be a new camera system on the back with a third sensor for capturing ultra-wide-angle photos and videos." Gurman said that the iPhone will capture three images from the three cameras and will then combine them into one photo, and also predicts that pictures in low-light situations will improve. Other features will include improved water resistance, better iPhone unlocking using the Face ID sensor, updated screens, and faster processors. Gurman also predicts a refresh for the iPad Pro line with better cameras. My guess is that we will know for sure what Apple is announcing in less than three weeks. And now, the news of note from the past week:
Will Apple announce a new Apple Watch along with the new iPhones? In an article for Macworld, Jason Snell says that Apple certainly doesn't need to release a new Apple Watch because the Series 4 is already very good and the software is about to be improved, although there are rumors that we will see new models of the Series 4 with ceramic or titanium in addition to the aluminum and stainless steel.
We are getting closer to the day when Apple will have its own video streaming service, Apple TV+. Ryan Christoffel of MacStories explains why Apple may well be successful, even though there are many competitors in this field.
And finally, speaking of Apple TV+, this week Apple released a full trailer for one of its upcoming shows on Apple TV + called The Morning Show. It stars Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carell, and based on the trailer it looks like it could be pretty good:
