WwW technology rapidly changing over the
past few decades, so too has the landscape

of everyday life has been permanently altered.
Cellphones nowadays can do anything and
streaming services look like TV channels. So far
in 2019, many electronics companies including
Samsung, Google, and Huawei, have released the
latest versions of their flagship cellphones and
they’re all packed full of features that are unique.
Features that you cannot get on the iPhone.
However, the iPhone—released in 2007—sets the
standard for smartphones all over, and now Apple
has done it again with their recent announcement.
On September 10, Tim Cook gave an update
on two services that already had some time in the
spotlight not too long ago: Apple Arcade and Apple
TV+. Cook demonstrated some of the exclusive
games that you can only play on Apple Arcade,
showing off that they have the same quality as games
in video game systems. Cook stated that the Apple
TV+ streaming service will cost $4.99, which is
cheaper than the standard plan with Netflix at which
$14.99. The streaming service also has family sharing,
and when you get a new Apple product, you get a
one year free trial. Apple Arcade will cost the same as
their streaming service and also has family sharing
included. Both Apple features are available now.
Next, Apple announced the next version of
the iPad which is as powerful as a laptop, especially
when you use it with the smart keyboard case. A

similar power-boost was announced with the next
version of Apple Watch, Apple Watch Series 5, which
began with a video showing in which people credit
the Apple watch as a life savior. In terms of updates
for the watch, according to the Apple website the
Apple Watch Series 5 has now has a “display that
never sleeps” that always shows the time and the face
of your watch.

Finally, what everyone had been waiting for:
Cook announced the next version of the iPhone,
the iPhone u. While the iPhone u has an improved
camera with new ways to make professional photos
even easier, and an improved battery life—the most
innovative new feature on the phone is you can now
film slow-motion videos with the front camera.
With this new technology, Apple has found an
opportunity to invent a new type of photo called the
“Slofie.”

Also, Apple announced a pro version of the
iPhone un called the iPhone u Pro which made
history as it is the first cellphone to have four
cameras total. The addition of a telephoto lens is
super creative; it is for producing wider shots. And,
if that wasn’t enough, the iPhone un Pro is also as
powerful as a laptop. The director of Tangerine and
The Florida Project, Sean Baker, was seen in the
announcement talking about how the iPhone 11 Pro
could change the way movies are filmed.

In the history of Apple, many have doubted
that the company could ever possibly make more
innovative products, yet each time they create a new
service or unique feature, Apple changes everything
in technology once again.
