With Apple expected to reveal its new iPhones in September, there’s not long to wait until we see the next innovations coming to these popular devices.
Rumours are already arriving thick and fast with the US technology giant expected to reveal three new phones at its keynote.
Although not confirmed, we’re expecting to see an upgrade to the current iPhone X along with the arrival of a larger iPhone X Plus and mid-range device that could include lower specs at a much reduced price.
This new ‘budget’ smartphone could feature a similar look to the premium iPhone X but is likely to include an LCD display and single rear camera.
Faster processors, improved facial recognition and new colours are also thought to be coming in the autumn upgrade.
However, one of the best new features coming to these new phones might actually be what’s bundled in the box.
Reports from blog Macotakara, suggest that Apple will include a fast charger with its new iPhones which will boost the battery far more quickly than anything we’ve seen before.
In fact, it’s thought Apple could include an 18W charger with the 2018 phone which will offer much more power than the 5W that ships with its current lineup.
To make this even more appealing it’s also being suggested that the only way to get one of these superchargers is to buy a new phone.
Macotakara is reporting that Apple simply can’t make enough of these quick refillers to stock them in stores, leaving older iPhone owners to charge the standard way.
It’s currently unclear if any of these latest rumours are true but it certainly appears that September could be a busy month for Apple.
Along with new iPhones, the company could also launch an update to its Apple Watch, iPad Pro and upgraded AirPod headphones.
They will also push out big software updates with every iPhone, Mac and Watch getting new features.
These changes were announced last month at Apple’s WWDC Developers Conference with iOS 12 perhaps the most exciting.
iOS 12 is packed with updates including new ways to monitor your screen time, improved photos app and even the ability to have a FaceTime call with up to 32 people.
Apple has also included a new Memoji feature which allows users to create custom animated characters which can then been sent via Messages.
However, perhaps one of the most popular additions to this latest software is improvements to performance.
It’s often been suggested that the latest upgrades can end up slowing down older devices but that won’t happen in iOS 12.
In fact, Apple actually says that things will get faster with this update installed – even if you own an older iPhone.
