1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Three new iPhones, and one with a screen that's even

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: bigger than Samsung's Galaxy Note nine. What's going on? I'm

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: rich Tomiro. This is Rich on Tech. We have just

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: about a month before the new iPhones are announced, and

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: the iPhone rumor mill is swinging into full gear. It

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: is so much fun to see all the reports that

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: come out that try to predict what the new iPhone

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: is going to be, and these days a lot of

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: them are actually right. It used to be that they

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: would be totally off. Now we're getting closer and closer

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: to the actual products before they're announced. And now a

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: new report from market intelligence company trend force is predicting

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of new things. This is our best look

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: yet at the new iPhone models. They are saying there's

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: going to be a budget iPhone plus two other models,

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: so three new models of the device to choose from.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Now take all of this with a grain of salt

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: because it is speculation. But in my experience reporting on

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: the iPhone for many years now, portions of these reports

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: generally and up becoming reality. So here it goes for starters.

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Trend four says sales of the iPhone eight, eight plus

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and iPhone ten were actually lower than expected, even though

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the hype was really high for the tenth anniversary of

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: the iPhone. It was pretty revolutionary because it featured that

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: brand new screen that took up the face of the device,

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: It had the notch, it also had face ID. That

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: video did twenty plus million views on my Facebook page. Yes,

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: it was very popular. Apple ended up selling about two

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen million phones in twenty seventeen, which was

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: about the same as twenty sixteen. Now you can say

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: that sales are flat, but the reality is a lot

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: of people are keeping their phones a lot longer these days,

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: so I don't think that the market is dead just yet.

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at these three new phones, which,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: by the way, all ditched the home button, so no

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: more home button. They all have face ID, they all

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: have that screen that we got to know on the

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: iPhone ten. So for starters, there is a budget six

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: point one inch LCD version of the I that is

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: a considerably larger screen size than the current iPhone eight,

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: which has a screen size of four point seven inches.

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: So again, this is the phone that's going to be

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: sort of the entry level basic iPhone trendfor says Apple's

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: going to sell the most of this model, accounting for

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: about fifty percent of production. This is the model that

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: most people go into the store for because it has

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the lowest price. It also has the lowest specs because

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the best screen. Trendforce is predicting a

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: starting price of six ninety nine for this device with

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: sixty four gigabytes of storage, with another option for two

51
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage, and that price

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: of six ninety nine is pretty much in line with

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: what the iPhone eight sells for today. And keep in

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: mind when we saw the iPhone eight versus the iPhone seven,

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: the price of the iPhone did go up by fifty dollars,

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: So it used to be six hundred and fifty dollars

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: for starters. Now we have that seven hundred dollars starting point.

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: So that's your basic iPhone six point one inches LCD,

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: and it's gonna have a pretty big so you're getting

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: a lot of bang for your buck with that one.

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Next up, we have the successor to the iPhone ten.

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: This will be a device with a five point eight

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: inch screen, but it will also have a higher quality screen.

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: So we'll have that AMO LED screen very similar to

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: what the iPhone ten has. And people might be a

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: little confused before they head into the store because this

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: device is going to be more expensive than that first

68
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: device I told you about with the bigger screen. But

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: once you go into the store, if you see that

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: LCD side by side with the Ammo LAD, you will

71
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: quickly realize why this is a more premium device. Now,

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the cool thing about this middle device is that it's

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: going to be a little cheaper than the entry level

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: iPhone ten. So instead of one thousand dollars at the

75
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: iPhone ten costs, Trendforce is predicting that this device will

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: cost nine hundred to nine hundred and fifty dollars, So

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: think pretty much you're getting the iPhone ten for about

78
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars or fifty dollars less than before. And

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: this would come in three configurations, sixty four gigabytes of storage,

80
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage, and yes,

81
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: five hundred and twelve gigabytes of storage, on par with

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: what Samsung is offering with the Note nine. Finally, one

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: more device in the lineup, an iPhone ten plus. Let's

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: call it. This will be Apple's top of the line

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: model with a giant six point five inch ammal led screen.

86
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: So again you get the big, super high quality screen.

87
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: And this is even a tenth of an inch bigger

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: than the Samsung Galaxy Note nine. And this device would

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: compete directly with the Note nine because it would target

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the business consumer. Because it would also have Apple Pencil support.

91
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Trend four says that all three of these phones could

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: have Apple Pencil support. If I had to guess, I

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: would say maybe the top two would and maybe the

94
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: bottom one would not. But perhaps it's something they can

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: build into all three of these pretty easily. Now. The

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: other interesting thing about this top of the line big

97
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: screen device is that it could feature dual simcard functionality.

98
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: This means you would be able to assign two separate

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: phone lines to the device, perhaps a work in a

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: personal line, or a personal and an international line. But

101
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: before you get too excited about the possibility of a

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: dual SIM iPhone, it's something Apple has never offered, and

103
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: trend four says they only expect it to be offered

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: in certain regions, and I would not think the US

105
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: would be one of them, because phones in the States

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: here rarely have the feature, which is way more popular overseas.

107
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: But you never know, Apple could surprise us. The price

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: of this device would be one thousand dollars. So there

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: you have it. Let's review three new iPhones. The first

110
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: a budget model, as we would call it, not really

111
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: budget because it's still Apple and it's still gonna be awesome,

112
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: but it's a six point one inch LCD model at

113
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars. Then you have the middle phone, which

114
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: is sort of like the successor to the iPhone ten,

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: that will be a five point eight inch screen at

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars. Then you have the biggest, baddest iPhone

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Apple makes, with a six point five inch screen at

118
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. Now, when you heard me talk about

119
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: those memory configurations, one thing that Apple does not seem

120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: to be changing is that entry level configuration number still

121
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: sixty four gigs across the board according to Trendforce. So

122
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I think it'd be nice if Apple bumped that sixty

123
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: four to something like one twenty eight. But it's better

124
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: than nothing to have that sixty four. That's a pretty

125
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: good starter, I guess. At the very least, let's hope

126
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: that Apple pumps up the free iCloud storage. That way

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: customers can at least back up their iPhones and kno,

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: get all those out of iCloud storage messages. All right, again,

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: all of this just speculation, but a lot of it

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: seems very plausible. There's nothing too crazy in here. Apple

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: pencil support would be pretty useful on the iPhone, especially

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: on that big screen model and ditching the home button.

133
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: I know, it's a big leap. That seems to be

134
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the future that Apple is banking on. Thanks so much

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: for listening. If you want to link to the full
