Asa cum se specula in perioada precedenta evenimentului de lansare, Apple a venit cu trei noi modele de iPhone in aceasta toamna. iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max και iPhone Xr. Cel din urma fiind un iPhone cu ecran LCD, la un pret mai accesibil decat modele de top. Un pret de pornire de 749 dolari la care se vor adauga taxe, ajungand pe piata la un pret de aproximativ 800 Euro pentru modelul cu 64 GB spatiu de stocare. Pretul ar creste cu aproximativ cate 50 Euro pentru modelele cu 128 GB si 256 GB, ajungand la un maxim de aproximativ 900 Euro pentru varianta cu 256 GB. Un pret accesibil din spusele celor de la Apple.

iPhone Xs si iPhone Xs Max – Carcateristici, Performante, Noutati si Preturi

Nu stim daca cei care si-au achzitionat recent un iPhone X “la liber” ar trebui sa se oftice sau nu. iPhone Xs este aproape copia fidela a iPhone X, cu mici upgrade-uri de hardware si noi variante de finisaje / culori. De mentionat este insa pretul de $ 999. Acelasi pret pe care il avea si iPhone X la data lansarii, pret mentinut de Apple. Probabil asemanarea de design si pretul identic, au determinat Apple sa scoata de la vanzare iPhone X. Ar fi trebuit sa-i scada pretul si ar fi devenit un real pericol pentru vanzarile de iPhone Xr, care desi este un model mai nou, cu exceptia procesorului este inferior la multe puncte modelului iPhone X.

Asadar, versiunea minima a iPhone Xs pleaca de la $999 (pret fara taxe), ajungand pe piata din Europa la aproximativ 1000 – 1100 Euro. Acest pret este valabil pentru versiunea cu spatiu de stocare de 64 GB. Pentru un iPhone Xs με 256 GB pretul fara taxe fiind de $1.149, αντίστοιχα $1.349 pentru cel cu 512 GB storage.
Sa vedem si pe ce dam acesti bani…

iPhone Xs si iPhone Xs Max – Caracteristici

In ceea ce priveste desingul, caracteristicile hardware dar si pretul de lansare, iPhone Xs este o copie a modelului precedent, iPhone X. Probabil acesta a fost si motivul din care Apple a decis retragerea iPhone X de la vanzare, odata cu lansarea noilor modele. Ca un plus la partea de design, noile modele de iPhone vin in trei variante de culori / finisaje: Χρυσό, Διαστημικό γκρι και Ασήμι.

iPhone Xs και iPhone Xs Max vin cu ecrane OLED generoase, ce acopera toata suprata frontala de 5.8 inch και 6.5 inch pentru modelul Max. Nu lipseste nici deja celebrul εγκοπή din partea superioara a device-urilor.

In cadrul evenimentului de prezentare al noilor modele de iPhone, reprezentatii Apple au facut comparatii intre display-ul de iPhone 8 Plus και iPhone Xs. Cel din urma avand o diagonala mai mare, desi ca dimeniuni este un device mai mic. Pana aici este adevarat, insa ca supratafata totala, display-ul de iPhone 8 Plus (5.5 inch) este mai mare decat al iPhone Xs de 5.8 inch. Cel din urma fiind un device mult mai ingust si care pierde cativa pixeli si la notch. Totusi densitatea (ppi) este mai mare in cazul iPhone Xs.

O veste buna pentru cei care obisnuiesc sa-si supuna device-urile iPhone la teste extreme, este ca noile modele sunt rezistente la apa. iPhone Xs si iPhone Xs Max rezista sub apa aproximativ 30 de minute la o adancime de maxim 2 metri.

Vor fi adaugate cateva noi functii de prelucrare a imaginilor, insa aceasta este mai degraba o caracteristica a iOS 12 decat a noilor modele de iPhone. Functii ce vor disponibile si pe iPhone X.

Putem puncta ca noutate a camerei frontale, posibilitatea de video recording 1080 HD la 60 fps.

Cu aceste caracteristici de top si noul chip A12 Bionic, Apple promite pentru iPhone Xs o autonomie a bateriei mai mare cu 30 minute decat cea a iPhone X, si cu 1 ora si 30 minute mai mare pentru iPhone Xs Max.

O noutate absoluta este introducerea Dual-Sim si trecerea de la nano-SIM στο π.χ.. iPhone XS si iPhone XS Max nu vor mai fi compatibile cu actualele cartele nano-SIM, operatorii fiind nevoiti sa treaca la tehnologia eSIM. Aceasta presupune eliminarea cartelelor SIM clasice si trecerea la eSIM-ul incorporat.
China va face exceptie de la aceasta regula, Apple lansand editii speciale de iPhone Xs si iPhone Xs Max cu sloturi Dual-SIM pentru nano-SIM.

iPhone Xs si iPhone Xs Max vor fi prezente in magazinele din Europa incepand cu a doua jumatate a lunii octombrie. Punerea oficiala in vanzare va avea loc in doua etape: 21 si 28 septembrie.
Ambele modele vor fi disponibile in trei variante de culori si tot atatea variante de storage. 64GB, 256GB και 512GB.
