  • Apple refining methods to reset & calibrate future iPhone toxic gas sensors

    I am interested to see what people with such sensor will be screening all around the different places. Same with noise meter in Watch. We may find that number of places are not ideal for living.

    As their products mature, Apple really has to get away from this annual extravaganza:   Expectations for it build throughout the year and, at the end, people and media are always dissapointed -- and the stock drops.

    I see Apple increasingly going to more impromptu roll-outs throughout the year.   I suspect that a 5G phone somewhere in the first half of 2020 will be one of those.
    Highly unlikely that Apple would move away from a September release for any 2020 iPhone even if they could incorporate 5G earlier. There is still a substantial feature and OS update that is best taken after WWDC, giving time for developers to introduce updated and new Apps. Hence, why September has become the standard.
    You both can be true. Rumored smaller new iPhone can appear in spring. But I doubt it would have 5G. And it may come as fourth phone in September 2020 as well. We can just wait and pray :-).

    Actually, Apple has *tons* of office space in Cupertino. They're definitely not just in Apple Park and the Infinite Loop campus. If you ever drive around Cupertino, you'll see so many Apple logos outside of (seemingly) every office building that you'll think you're driving through apple orchards.
    Apple should just buy Greenland. 
    Why not California right away? lol Every bank would borrow money to Apple!

    I’d rather have fewer cameras, but better ones. With all the money Apple spends on R&D, I would have thought that they would be able to come up with something themselves, instead of relying on designs by others. New types of sensors, new types of optical glass and plastics are needed. Apple has patents for 90 degree cameras, but others are coming out with them. How about an optical zoom? There are technologies that allow for that already.
    They need parts at certain level of quality, then in price point to fit into standard margins and then in huge quantity as they have only few models in higher numbers. No other producer produce so many top phones. Ut takes time to secure some parts a prove them reliable.

    It does not say that Apple. is doing everything the best. You can not be best at everything forever. I think it is not natural.

     And by the way, for the first time I find the back of an iPhone to be truly ugly.
    I can not say I disagree but we will see how many knock of will be willing to mock new iPhone design. I guess black iPhone version and black cases will be popular. ;-)
