[NetEase Smart News, September 13] Early this morning in Beijing time, Apple held a major event at its new Jobs Theater headquarters, unveiling a range of new products including the Apple TV, Apple Watch Series 3, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and the highly anticipated iPhone X—marking the 10th anniversary of the iconic iPhone.
The iPhone X is considered one of the most advanced smartphones to date, packed with cutting-edge technology. Tim Cook described it as a product designed for the future. But what exactly makes it so special? Let’s take a closer look at the innovations that make it stand out.
What's New About Face ID on the iPhone X?
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, facial recognition has become one of the fastest-growing technologies. In China, we've already seen it used in places like train stations, banks, and mobile apps. Now, Apple has taken it to the next level with the iPhone X.
One of the biggest changes in the iPhone X is the removal of the home button and fingerprint sensor. Instead, users can unlock their phones simply by looking at them. Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, called Face ID the future of phone security and user authentication.
However, there are still some limitations. For example, if you have a twin or plan to get a facelift, Face ID might not work as expected. Apple advises users with twins to still use a passcode for added security.
So how does Face ID actually work? It uses TrueDepth camera technology, which includes infrared sensors, dot projectors, and depth sensors. When you look at your phone, it projects over 30,000 invisible IR dots across your face, capturing a detailed 3D map. This data is then compared with the stored facial information in real time. The system also uses neural networks to distinguish between a live face and a photo or mask, making it more secure than ever before.
Whether you're tired, wearing glasses, or even a hat, the iPhone X will still recognize you quickly and accurately. This marks a major step forward in mobile security and convenience.
How Powerful Is the A11 Bionic Chip?
Apple claims the A11 Bionic chip is 25% faster than the A10, featuring a 6-core processor and a 64-bit architecture. Its GPU is also 30% faster than the previous generation. But the real game-changer is its built-in neural engine, optimized for AI tasks like Face ID and augmented reality.
According to reports, Apple has been working on an AI-specific chip for years, and the A11 represents a significant step toward that vision. By offloading some processing to the AI chip, the phone can run more efficiently, improving battery life and performance.
As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the power of our devices is growing rapidly. With the right hardware, smartphones could soon do things we never thought possible.
Is Augmented Reality the Next Big Thing? Can Only Apple Deliver It?
Many analysts believe AR could be the next big breakthrough in smartphone technology, with a potential market value of up to $404 billion in the next three years.
At the event, Phil Schiller emphasized that the A11 chip is the most powerful in any smartphone today. Based on this, the iPhone X is the first smartphone designed specifically for AR. Its camera is calibrated for augmented reality, and the new motion sensors offer 60 fps tracking for smooth and accurate experiences.
Soon, AR apps like SkyGuide (which shows constellations), At Bat (for baseball AR), and Warhammer 40k: Freeblade will be available on the App Store. These apps allow users to interact with virtual content in real-world environments, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
