Apple Watch Series 4 – New Apple Product

Apple Watch Series 4 – New Apple Product

Apple have realised a new apple watch installed with the most up to date watchOS 5 and has a lot of features following from the previous apple watches. The design of the new watch is enhanced overall with a new modern design as well as additional health and fitness built in apps that aim to help monitor heart rate, track calories and much more.

The design of this new apple watch is different to previous watches that have had more or less the same design concept however the watch series 4 has been restyled and redesigned to enhance its entire look and provide a major change to customers that wanted to see something new design wise with this apple watch. Apple have delivered a well redesigned look that looks attractive and has upgraded the design but maintained its origin.

Design

With this new apple watch Apple have decided to increase the screen size by not an enormous amount but enough to notice added width and length. The bezels that go around the edge has been reduced to effect the size of the screen as well as adding curvy corners to the screen.

This new series 4 watch comes in aluminium or stainless steel, both of which maintain the solidness and stability in previous watches but there is an apparent change in the quality, however Apple have decided not to offer this watch in all ceramic as an edition and are only available in the two material types.

In terms of colours the aluminium versions come in gold, space grey or silver and for the stainless steel you are able to select new gold or space black that are polished and look minimalistic but stylish. Even though the ceramic edition has been discontinued the aluminium material does include ceramic inside the undersides and allows for better signal and receptive wherever you go.

Features

The speaker on the apple watch series 4 has been boosted to increase sound to 50% which in turn will be louder and enhanced when watching movies or playing music. A slight change in this area is that this watch now has the microphone in a different area aside from the speaker which allows for improved quality when making phone calls.

A useful feature with the watch series 4 is that it has a health built in app called Fall Detection which essentially will pick up when the user has fallen physically and will determine this by motions of the arm; if you are stationary for a specific time frame the apple watch will presume an emergency and ultimately contacts the closet emergency services via the SOS application.

Another health feature is heart monitoring which is not something new with apple watches but with this new series 4 watch there is changes to the app in that it picks up low heart rate as a concern for health and also heart rates that are irregular. Furthermore, the heart monitoring system will inform of possible atrial fibrillation which is something new to this watch than previous models.

IPad Pro 2018 – New Apple Product

IPad Pro 2018 – New Apple Product

One of the next best apple products is the IPad Pro 3 which is promising a major update from the previous versions and overall brining something special to the table that is different from the rest. The set date for release is going to either be October or if not then later in the year of 2018. The launch of the IPhone X was in the middle of September with no mention to the new IPad and any other IPad related products, which leaves many users guessing.

This new IPad is said to provide bezel screens that have been reduced into two sizes unlike previous models. Furthermore, some sources have stated that the camera will be of the likes of the newly released IPhone X, which has the True Depth technology camera interface, providing enhancing photo quality.

IPad Pro 2018 – New Apple Product

The IPad pro series are aiming towards acting as a laptop and Apple are designing the IPad in a way that showcases this and the many features internally and externally that the IPad has to offer. Even though there is a possibility of the IPads officially being used by many users a laptop, the origin of IPads is that they are tablets and for many that is what they are and how they will use them.

Some leaks have said that Apply is looking to remove the Lightning feature which is aside the USB-C and alternatively include a 18W adapter for power. Also the IPad may use the same Face ID lock system as the IPhone X and will allow users to unlock their devices more securely and much like the newest IPhones.

The cost of the IPad Pro 3 will defiantly be expensive but the cost has not yet been disclosed and this is yet to be evaluated. Previous IPads have been significantly pricy and start off quite high in price.

Apparently with the new design there will be no home button the IPad interface, whether this will cause issues users will have to see when the product is released and If this is actually going to be stripped off the IPad. The design size is to be 12.9 Inches which is a reasonable size for Apple IPads.

The IPad pre design example is said to have a metal back with four speaker grills along with a single camera lens. It appears that there are some amendments that could be made such as the Smart Connector being moved to the back of the IPad, plus there appears to be no headphone port and lastly an unknown button is visible on the device that is not yet discovered as to its function

Another leak is that the IPad pro 3 system is IOS 12 with a built in A11X Bionic chipset for increased performance and speedy system overall. There are many old features that would probably be included in the new IPad to maintain the status of Apple’s IPad but we are also expecting several changes that will improve the IPad series massively.
