WEBVTT - 3 New iPhones; Apple Pencil Support, 512 GB Storage - Report

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Three new iPhones, and one with a screen that's even

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>bigger than Samsung's Galaxy Note nine. What's going on? I'm

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>rich Tomiro. This is Rich on Tech. We have just

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>about a month before the new iPhones are announced, and

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone rumor mill is swinging into full gear. It

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>is so much fun to see all the reports that

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>come out that try to predict what the new iPhone

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to be, and these days a lot of

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>them are actually right. It used to be that they

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>would be totally off. Now we're getting closer and closer

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to the actual products before they're announced. And now a

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>new report from market intelligence company trend force is predicting

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of new things. This is our best look

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>yet at the new iPhone models. They are saying there's

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be a budget iPhone plus two other models,

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>so three new models of the device to choose from.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Now take all of this with a grain of salt

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>because it is speculation. But in my experience reporting on

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone for many years now, portions of these reports

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>generally and up becoming reality. So here it goes for starters.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Trend four says sales of the iPhone eight, eight plus

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and iPhone ten were actually lower than expected, even though

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the hype was really high for the tenth anniversary of

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone. It was pretty revolutionary because it featured that

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>brand new screen that took up the face of the device,

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>It had the notch, it also had face ID. That

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>video did twenty plus million views on my Facebook page. Yes,

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>it was very popular. Apple ended up selling about two

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixteen million phones in twenty seventeen, which was

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>about the same as twenty sixteen. Now you can say

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that sales are flat, but the reality is a lot

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>of people are keeping their phones a lot longer these days,

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 1>so I don't think that the market is dead just yet.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's take a look at these three new phones, which,

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, all ditched the home button, so no

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>more home button. They all have face ID, they all

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>have that screen that we got to know on the

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>iPhone ten. So for starters, there is a budget six

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>point one inch LCD version of the I that is

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a considerably larger screen size than the current iPhone eight,

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>which has a screen size of four point seven inches.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So again, this is the phone that's going to be

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of the entry level basic iPhone trendfor says Apple's

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>going to sell the most of this model, accounting for

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>about fifty percent of production. This is the model that

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>most people go into the store for because it has

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the lowest price. It also has the lowest specs because

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have the best screen. Trendforce is predicting a

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>starting price of six ninety nine for this device with

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>sixty four gigabytes of storage, with another option for two

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage, and that price

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of six ninety nine is pretty much in line with

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 1>what the iPhone eight sells for today. And keep in

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>mind when we saw the iPhone eight versus the iPhone seven,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the price of the iPhone did go up by fifty dollars,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>So it used to be six hundred and fifty dollars

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>for starters. Now we have that seven hundred dollars starting point.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's your basic iPhone six point one inches LCD,

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna have a pretty big so you're getting

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bang for your buck with that one.

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Next up, we have the successor to the iPhone ten.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>This will be a device with a five point eight

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>inch screen, but it will also have a higher quality screen.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>So we'll have that AMO LED screen very similar to

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 1>what the iPhone ten has. And people might be a

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>little confused before they head into the store because this

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>device is going to be more expensive than that first

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>device I told you about with the bigger screen. But

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>once you go into the store, if you see that

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>LCD side by side with the Ammo LAD, you will

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>quickly realize why this is a more premium device. Now,

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the cool thing about this middle device is that it's

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be a little cheaper than the entry level

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>iPhone ten. So instead of one thousand dollars at the

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>iPhone ten costs, Trendforce is predicting that this device will

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>cost nine hundred to nine hundred and fifty dollars, So

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>think pretty much you're getting the iPhone ten for about

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars or fifty dollars less than before. And

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this would come in three configurations, sixty four gigabytes of storage,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage, and yes,

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and twelve gigabytes of storage, on par with

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>what Samsung is offering with the Note nine. Finally, one

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>more device in the lineup, an iPhone ten plus. Let's

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>call it. This will be Apple's top of the line

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>model with a giant six point five inch ammal led screen.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So again you get the big, super high quality screen.

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>And this is even a tenth of an inch bigger

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>than the Samsung Galaxy Note nine. And this device would

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>compete directly with the Note nine because it would target

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the business consumer. Because it would also have Apple Pencil support.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Trend four says that all three of these phones could

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>have Apple Pencil support. If I had to guess, I

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>would say maybe the top two would and maybe the

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>bottom one would not. But perhaps it's something they can

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>build into all three of these pretty easily. Now. The

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>other interesting thing about this top of the line big

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>screen device is that it could feature dual simcard functionality.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>This means you would be able to assign two separate

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 1>phone lines to the device, perhaps a work in a

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>personal line, or a personal and an international line. But

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>before you get too excited about the possibility of a

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>dual SIM iPhone, it's something Apple has never offered, and

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>trend four says they only expect it to be offered

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in certain regions, and I would not think the US

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>would be one of them, because phones in the States

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>here rarely have the feature, which is way more popular overseas.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>But you never know, Apple could surprise us. The price

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of this device would be one thousand dollars. So there

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you have it. Let's review three new iPhones. The first

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a budget model, as we would call it, not really

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>budget because it's still Apple and it's still gonna be awesome,

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's a six point one inch LCD model at

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred dollars. Then you have the middle phone, which

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>is sort of like the successor to the iPhone ten,

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that will be a five point eight inch screen at

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred dollars. Then you have the biggest, baddest iPhone

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Apple makes, with a six point five inch screen at

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars. Now, when you heard me talk about

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>those memory configurations, one thing that Apple does not seem

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>to be changing is that entry level configuration number still

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 1>sixty four gigs across the board according to Trendforce. So

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be nice if Apple bumped that sixty

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>four to something like one twenty eight. But it's better

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>than nothing to have that sixty four. That's a pretty

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>good starter, I guess. At the very least, let's hope

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that Apple pumps up the free iCloud storage. That way

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>customers can at least back up their iPhones and kno,

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>get all those out of iCloud storage messages. All right, again,

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>all of this just speculation, but a lot of it

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>seems very plausible. There's nothing too crazy in here. Apple

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>pencil support would be pretty useful on the iPhone, especially

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>on that big screen model and ditching the home button.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's a big leap. That seems to be

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the future that Apple is banking on. Thanks so much

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>for listening. If you want to link to the full
