iPhone 8, iOS 11 GM and everything we know before the presentation of September 12

Next Tuesday, September 12, one of the most anticipated presentations of the year takes place: the arrival of new iPhones. Also, not only because of the new equipment, but because Keynote will be held in the new Apple Park. In other words, everything seems to promise a perfect evening: new equipment officially presenting the new Cupertino offices. However, as usual, before any major presentation, rumors and leaks are the order of the day. Now, perhaps due to an oversight by Apple and the release of the pre-final version of iOS 11 (iOS 11 Golden Master), it has been possible to almost confirm some of the data that was shuffled a few weeks ago.

With the release of iOS 11 GM we have been given a lot of information. And not only about the new iPhone - yes, apparently there will be several models that are presented - but on features, new equipment coming to the Apple ecosystem and much more. Shall we review them before this next September 12?

Data leak iPhone 8 iOS 11 GM

iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, the new 'smartphones'

We will not deny it: the protagonists of this Keynote will be the new iPhone. And it is that this year 2017 the first 10 years of the launch of its first version are celebrated.

As it has been possible to know, the iPhone 7 will not have version 'S', but those of Cupertino have decided bet on an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and a special version under the name iPhone X.

These data have been known under the iOS 11 GM source code, although of course we will not have more details. Of course, if we do not continue with an iPhone 7 in the catalog, it will be because of a change in design and that it is under a new numbering: glass back? New camera layout?

New features revealed iPhone8 with iOS 11 GM

AMOLED screen, True Tone and Face ID

We continue with the details about the new iPhones. And apparently the home button disappears, and therefore some of its functions will be altered. For example: from Touch ID we will go to Face ID. This means that in order to unlock the terminal we will have to undergo a facial scan and that it will be in 3D. Being able to unlock the terminal with a photograph would not be possible with this method; the iPhone itself will ask the user to move their head.

As well change the way in which we will invoke Siri or some more extended functions in recent months such as Apple Pay. As they comment on social networks, to be able to invoke Siri we will have to resort to the side button and hold down, while running Apple Pay we will have to double click.

Also, it seems to confirm - always talking about data collected in the iOS 11 GM version - that the front panel of the iPhone X will completely occupy the entire design. Further, this will be AMOLED type and with True Tone technology (the same one that the iPad Pro uses). With this technology the white balance will be adjusted automatically depending on the ambient light. In The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus we would be talking about LCD panels.

New emojis and camera improvements

Meanwhile, another of the discoveries have been the so-called 'Animojis'. These animal shaped emojis will be animated. In addition, they will recreate the user's mood thanks to facial recognition. So you see practicing your best smile.

Finally, the camera will also bring improvements. Another feature that seems to be present in this version prior to iOS 11 is an improvement of portrait mode. This was unveiled on the iPhone 7 Plus. Apparently there will be new effects to apply to the captures. In addition, video recording can be 1080p (Full HD) at 240 fps or 4k resolution at 60 fps.

New Airpods, but with minor improvements

Apparently, the new iPhone will not be the only ones present during the event on September 12. There will also be a Improved version of the wireless headphones known as Airpods. Nothing could be known; Only version 1.2 is referenced and not the current version 1.1.

Apple Watch with LTE unveiled on iOS 11 GM

New Apple Watch with LTE: the virtual SIM is your possible resource

We already said that Apple would be working on a new version of smart watch that it sells. And it seems in iOS 11 GM hints are given about a model with LTE technology inside. This would give it more freedom of use and new owners would come to its possible purchase.

As discussed in 9to5mac, the new version of the Apple Watch will have the capacity to use a phone number. But I would not resort to a physical SIM, instead would depend on a virtual SIM. This will have the same phone number as the iPhone and would allow the phone to move away to continue using calls, etc.

Of course, New news expected on HomePod smart speaker and possible Apple TV with 4K capabilities. But nothing has been seen about this in the latest beta version of iOS 11.
