What to Expect from the iPhone 8
The iPhone 8 is not released until September but details of the new features have been released by Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The new iPhone will move from an LCD screen to an OLED screen, which will mean vivid colours and darker blacks as every pixel is ‘turned on’.
Other features will include a smarter Siri, who will be able to translate English into Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish; the iPhone 8 will also have an Augmented Reality feature (ARKit).
Augmented reality was used in the Pokemon Go gaming app last year, but Apple’s ARkit uses the camera, the GPS details and the accelerometers built-in to the iPhone to make it’s AR more realistic.
Apple Confirms Release of it’s HomePod.
Apple’s new speaker is claiming to be the ‘smartest speaker on offer’.
The HomePod will be launched in December to compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home, which have both been really successful. The speaker will be just under 7 inches high and houses Apple’s virtual assistant, Siri.
The HomePod speaker has the ability to adjust sound levels when playing music based on its surroundings.
The device also contains six microphones to pick up voice commands and it will contain the A8 processor chip – the one used in the iPhone – meaning the HomePod could be the ‘smartest home speaker’ on offer.
