Once upon a time, Samsung’s Galaxy Note was ridiculed and doubted for the size of its screen. Just last month, Apple announced the iPhone XS Max, not only the biggest iPhone over bit also 0.1 inches larger than the Galaxy Note 9. Clearly, phablets have won and size is no longer Samsung’s exclusive domain. Now it needs to step up … Continue reading

Cars are becoming more and more like smartphones these days. Not just “connected to smartphones” but also using pretty much the same technologies are the computers in our pockets. That’s especially true for the silicon that allows for these vehicles to become partially or even fully autonomous. So it’s not a big surprise that Samsung is announcing that two of … Continue reading

Apple’s new iPhones are expensive, with the iPhone Xs Max priced over $1,000. While there will always be a demand for iPhones, the price points will definitely put some customers off, and this is why analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that this could potentially lead to better than expected demand for the iPhone XR.
For those unfamiliar, the iPhone XR is the LCD model of Apple’s 2018 lineup. It is priced starting at $750 which isn’t exactly “cheap” per se, but it is a more affordable model. Plus for the most part it has the same hardware as the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, save for the display type and the camera, but otherwise it will be powered by the same chipset, have Face ID, and so on.
According to Kuo’s predictions, Apple is expected to ship 36 to 38 million iPhone XR units in the fourth quarter of the year, up from 33 to 35 million units from his earlier prediction. Of course shipping numbers doesn’t necessarily translate into actual sales, so it should probably be taken with a grain of salt for now.
Kuo also claims that the iPhone XR could outsell the iPhone 8 from 2017 which was Apple’s slightly more affordable take on the iPhone compared to the iPhone X back then. Whether or not this holds true remains to be seen, but Kuo had also previously stated that Apple is expected to maintain its LCD iPhones even in 2019.

In 2017 when Apple launched the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and the X, the phones featured IP67 ratings, meaning that they were water-resistant to a certain degree. However in 2018, the new iPhones were improved and were given an IP68 rating, so does that mean the 2019 iPhones could feature even better water and dust resistance?
That won’t be the case, or at least that’s according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who claims that the 2019 iPhones will continue to use the IP68 rating. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as an IP68 rating is already pretty good, and if you are planning on going swimming with your iPhone or use it for underwater photography for extended periods of time, there are various waterproof cases that should do a better job of protecting it anyway.
For those unfamiliar with the IP ratings, it stands for Ingress Protection where the first number is protection against solid objects where the number 6 denotes that it is protected from dust. The second number is for liquids, where the different numbers indicate protection against liquids of varying degrees and strength.
For example last year’s iPhones had an IP67 rating which meant that it was resistant against strong water jets and waves, so accidentally getting your phone wet isn’t a problem. This year’s iPhones with the IP68 rating means that in the event you drop your phone into the pool or ocean and retrieve it in a short enough amount of time, it should still continue to function.
