How iPhone 9 will be different from iPhone 9 Plus

The popular iPhone, which from time immemorial has been talked about and written very different, this spring was supposed to be the main event. It’s popular for a simple reason: Apple has never even hinted at it. When the media discussed the iPhone SE 2, when the results of popular vote it was renamed iPhone 9, when they came up with and approved its specifications (we know more about it than about some of Apple's products for sale), all this was folk art. Sources sometimes referred to intercepted and decrypted workflow locations between Taiwanese companies and their Chinese factories, sometimes simply reported. But on March 18, he was not among the new products.

IPhone 8 Plus owners will be pleased

The only confirmation of its existence is the mention of two iPhone 9 models in the resources obtained by electronic editions MacRumors and 9to5Mac copy of iOS14. But what exactly does this mention look like in plist files has not become public. And besides, the mysterious devices mentioned in the bowels of the beta versions of previous systems, for example, Apple TV, easily and without any comments from Apple disappeared. Apparently, they worked with their prototypes - but not everything Apple is working on is being released.
And we are so accustomed to this “fact”: that in March or April, Apple will present the iPhone 9 to the public. At the end of January, news about this device reached a new level: according to another source, it was supposed to start in China in February mass production of iPhone 9. Not confirmed. At the end of February, it was reported that the iPhone 9 and another modification of it “are undergoing final testing”. March 22, it became known that mass production of the iPhone 9 began on March 19. Immediately two of his models.

Difference between iPhone 9 and iPhone 9 Plus

I do not know if this is true. Two models: this is the iPhone 9 (with a diagonal of the LCD screen of 4.7 inches) and the iPhone 9 Plus (with a diagonal of 5.5 inches). Outwardly, they are almost one-on-one similar to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, only slightly thicker (0.5 mm), longer and wider (0.1 mm). And instead of a system-on-chip Apple A11 Bionic in the "nines" will install Apple A13. The crystal used in the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Configurations of 4.7 - and 5.5-inch "nines" also promise two: 64 and 128 GB. A 4.7-inch iPhone 9 with these amounts of flash memory will cost $ 399 and $ 449. Prices for the 5.5-inch iPhone 9 Plus are still unknown. 3 Gigabytes of RAM LPDDR4X. 5G support will not be exact whether the iPhone 9/9 + will support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) - 50 by 50.

The physical “Home” button, with a new generation of built-in Touch ID. Frames around the screen. For those who do not want to part with the iPhone 8/8 +, but prefer to keep up with the times.
A camera with a single sensor on the back - and, almost certainly, the Apple U1 UWB chip.

IPhone 9 will have one camera, iPhone 9 Plus - two

The appearance of the “nines” on sale, due to their relatively low price, would be more useful today than ever. They should be created even if Apple did not think about them. And the information published a couple of months ago that iOS 14 will support all iPhone and iPod touch models that support iOS 13, and that iOS 14 will not differ anything from iOS 13, was not an official statement by Apple.

This was an assumption based on some information from Apple, but now it seems that the situation has changed. And it may well happen that the next version of iOS will either not be compatible with the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, or some incredibly attractive functions, according to Apple, will not be available to these devices. Among other things, Apple needs to make up for losses from the coronavirus. According to Apple itself, there is no exact data yet, but this February, the sales of smartphones in the world decreased by 38% compared to February last year. In February 2020, they sold 61.8 million units, a year ago - 99.2 million. March will not be better.

Apple News March 2020

And how did people react to the news on March 18? I’ll make a reservation right away: readers, for the most part, are more likely to regard Apple and its products. Nevertheless, despite the sympathy for apple technology, they are critical to specific Apple products. Without fanaticism. To the question, “Are you planning to purchase new Apple products introduced on March 18?” The survey respondents answered as follows:

And how did people react to the news on March 18? I’ll make a reservation right away: readers, for the most part, are more likely to regard Apple and its products. Nevertheless, despite the sympathy for apple technology, they are critical to specific Apple products. Without fanaticism. To the question, “Are you planning to purchase new Apple products introduced on March 18?” The survey respondents answered as follows:

  • I will buy iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard: 30.17% (4,005 votes);
  • I will not buy any of the presented novelties: 23.35% (3,099 votes);
  • Buy Magic Keyboard for the previous generation iPad Pro: 23.26% (3 087 votes);
  • Buy MacBook Air: 10.77% (1 429 votes);
  • Buy iPad Pro: 9.08% (1 205 votes);
  • Other: 2.27% (301 votes);
  • Buy Mac mini: 1.1% (147 votes).

Those who choose the option “Other”, as a rule, do not answer the question of the questionnaire, but state their own opinion. Someone claimed that the 720p camera on the MacBook Air is a disgrace. Someone said that some of the new devices (or all at once) are too expensive, someone is waiting for a 14-inch MacBook Pro. The most reasonable, in my opinion, “dissenting opinion” was about the fear of so many people losing their jobs due to a pandemic if it lasts several months, and there is no reason to hope for its termination. Because of these fears, it is unlikely that many will now spend money on updating equipment.
