Apple Lower Price Of This Year Updated IPhone

After last year's hardware-heavy WWDC, we got nothing this year. Bupkis. Not that we were expecting much after a recent Bloomberg report said WWDC 2018 would be all about software, not hardware. But it still stings a little that we have to wait for any new Apple hardware announcements.

With that in mind, here's a quick round up of what Apple didn't introduce at WWDC this year.

MacBooks and iMacs: Moving the Mac computer line to the newest eighth-generation Intel processors would be an easy -- albeit boring -- upgrade. Whether that would entail a larger design overhaul, such as rethinking the problematic butterfly keyboards and still-controversial Touch Bar features on the MacBook Pro laptops, would remain to be seen. The same goes for the MacBook Air, which has long been rumored to be getting a comeback model.

iPad Pros: Apple brought a keystone feature of the iPad Pro line -- compatibility with the Pencil stylus -- to the new entry-level iPad that debuted in March. The conventional wisdom is that the pricier iPad Pro models can now be teed up for an iPhone X-style design overhaul: Ditching the home button and adding Face ID, perhaps.

iPhone SE 2: There are persistent rumors that the iPhone SE, the entry-level iPhone that debuted in March 2016, is due for an upgrade of some sort. Whether that's a full-screen iPhone X design (which seems improbable) or just a specs upgrade in the same body (much more likely) is unknown. Either way, this refresh may wait until September, too.

Apple AirPower: When Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, introduced this multidevice charging pad alongside the iPhone X in September 2017, he said it was coming "next year." So while you can't say it's "late" until Jan. 1, 2019, one has to assume Apple would like to get this accessory on store shelves before the first anniversary of its announcement. But we're still waiting for that to happen. 

High-end iPhones: The sequels to the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are expected in September as usual. No surprise there.

Mac Pro "trash can" computer: Apple has already confirmed that the new Mac Pro isn't coming until 2019.

HomePod Mini or new Beats Siri speaker: There's been some chatter about a new smaller, less expensive HomePod or a new more affordable Beats Siri-enabled speaker. The rumors are pretty sketchy, so we're not expecting either speaker to drop any time soon.

Watch Series 4: Last year's Apple Watch Series 3 was announced last September. If we get a new model this year, it will probably arrive at the same time as the new iPhones.

AirPods 2: Rumor has it that Apple is prepping next-generation AirPods. If there are new AirPods, they'll most likely be announced alongside the new iPhone this fall. We also haven't seen the previously revealed AirPower-compatible AirPods.

iOS 12: Siri shortcuts, group FaceTime and "Memoji" -- Animoji of you.

Apple might lower the prices of its crop of new iPhones, if the latest research note from well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (now at a new gig at TF International Securities) is to be believed, via MacRumors.

According to Kuo, those prices will be somewhat cheaper than the last wave of iPhones, which saw the popular smartphone cross the $1,000 mark for the first time with the iPhone X. Instead, Kuo claims that the second-gen iPhone X will cost between $800 and $900, the iPhone X Plus will be $900 to $1,000, and the entry-level 6.1-inch LCD option will be in the $600 to $700 range.

While Kuo is generally pretty reliable when it comes to his predictions for Apple, it’s worth pointing out that, historically, his sources have been more placed in the supply chain as opposed to higher up in Apple’s management. Therefore, it’s worth taking these pricing rumors with a grain of salt, especially because of how far out we are from any potential announcement. It’s also unclear if Apple would even be looking to lower the price point of the iPhone X because the higher profit margins of the more expensive phone were the main driver for Apple’s overall increase in revenue despite selling fewer phones last quarter.

As a reminder, the rumor mill — both from Kuo and others — has stated for a while that Apple is expected to release three new iPhones this fall: an updated OLED 5.8-inch iPhone X, a larger 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus, and a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone that will offer the same bezel-less design as the iPhone X at a cheaper price point.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has had a problem with the iPhone X’s home button for months. And his displeasure with it isn’t waning.

In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Wozniak, or “Woz,” as he’s known, said that the iPhone X’s home button on the side of the handset is a problem. He criticized Apple’s decision to combine the power and home button function in one and said that he didn’t like that it “has about eight different functions.”

“It’s kind of confusing,” Woz said. “And that’s not the nature of Apple products.”

Apple released its iPhone X last year with a new Face ID feature that allows you to scan your face to access the home screen, make payments with Apple Pay, and more. It’s also the first iPhone to not come with a home button under the screen. Instead, many of the former home button functions, like going from an app back to the main screen, are carried out by swiping up from the bottom of the display.

The home button on the right side of the device double as both as power key and a way to lock the screen. It also plays an important role in a variety of functions. Snapping a screengrab, for instance, means tapping the button and the volume-down key on the other side of the device.

Woz said that Apple sent him the iPhone X in December. Soon after he started to use it, he complained of the button’s functionality. Now months later, he still doesn’t seem to like it.

Woz’s comments come as Apple prepares to announce a variety of new software updates at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference. It’s unknown whether the software improvements will include a tweak to the way Apple’s software interacts with the iPhone’s physical buttons.
