Delivering AI Capabilities and High Performance in a Competitively-Priced Package
Consumers in key markets will be able to take ownership of LG’s newest smartphone, the LG G7 Fit, starting this week. Originally unveiled at IFA 2018 in Berlin, the LG G7 Fit was developed for customers interested specifically in high-end camera, display and audio features at a more competitive price point than current flagship offerings.
The concept behind the LG G7 Fit was to offer the most popular advanced features from the LG G7 ThinQwithout the price. With the same premium all-glass and polished metal rim of the LG G7 ThinQ, the G7 Fit is as tough as it looks with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance as an added bonus.
Powered by the proven Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 and paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal storage, the smartphone is powerful enough for gaming, viewing or listening without any hiccups. The 6.1-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) FullVision display sporting 19.5:9 aspect ratio features Super Bright Display LCD technology turbocharged to a maximum 1,000 nits for visibility under even the brightest sun.
A host of intelligent camera features highlighted by AI CAM lets LG G7 Fit owners choose from 8 shooting modes optimized by the built-in artificial intelligence. If the AI CAM-recommended image doesn’t meet the user’s expectations, additional effect options can be manually applied in post-processing.
And because the LG G7 Fit was designed to deliver LG’s most advanced audio capabilities in one exceptional package, it is the perfect device for the music lover. Featuring LG’s unanimously-lauded 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for high-quality sound when paired with quality earphones, the G7 Fit also delivers incredible bass with Boombox Speaker as well as virtual 3D sound up to 7.1 channel audio with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound.
“The LG G7 Fit plays an important role in our global lineup which is very focused on introducing meaningful smartphone technology and innovation to a new and wider audience,” said Ha Jeung-uk, senior vice president and head of LG’s mobile business division. “LG’s strategy to include our best technologies across our entire G series portfolio is to make it easier for more consumers to experience LG mobile innovation.”
Beginning this month and continuing throughout the fourth quarter, customers in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East will be able to add the G7 Fit to their shortlist of phones to consider.

Apple redesigned its smartwatch this year and the new hardware is a pleasing and powerful update to what was already one of the best wearables available. With its renewed focus on health and safety, is it good enough to upgrade from an older Apple Watch? We find out.
Apple continues to define the smartwatch category. It may have brought the Apple Watch to market long after fitness trackers and Android smartwatches hit store shelves, but Apple quickly surpassed them in function and performance. This year, Apple overhauled its hardware in order to make the Watch a more personal, health-conscious device. Here is Phone Scoop’s review.
Hardware
The Apple Watch comes in so many sizes, finishes, and configurations that it should be no problem for most people to find a combination that works for them. The Apple Watch Series 4 carries over the square-shaped display, rounded metal body, and core controls including the digital crown and action button.
The 38mm and 42mm screen dimensions have been replaced with 40mm and 44mm sizes. The Series 4 is slightly taller and minimally wider than the Series 3, though it is also just a bit thinner (front to back). Most people won’t be able to tell the difference, and it’s just as comfortable to wear. I appreciate the slightly reduced thickness of the Apple Watch, as it makes it less problematic when wearing jackets or long-sleeved shirts.
The Watch is available in space gray, silver, and gold colors, in either the aluminum or stainless steel chassis. If you want a little more flair, you can opt for the Nike+ or Hermes versions, which have different straps. Speaking of straps, basic options include sport plastic or woven nylon. If you want a milanese loop or leather you’ll need to fork over more cash to upgrade. If you want Hermes, you’ll need to fork over several paychecks.
Apple Watch Series 4
tested a large (44mm) space gray aluminum model with a nylon strap.
The materials, fit, and finish of the Watch are a step above the competition. It is by no means a traditional timepiece, but the chassis is strong, the curved glass is perfectly fitted, and the hardware controls are easy to manipulate.
I really like the new screen, which measures 368 pixels by 448 pixels on the 44m size. The OLED display is bright, sharp, and offers plenty of real estate for information. There’s so much space, in fact, that Apple has doubled the number of complications available on some of the watch faces. The new Infograph face, for example, has eight complications. There’s a ton of info on the screen, and it wouldn’t be practical on the old, smaller screens.
All Apps
The digital crown on the right side of the watch is a marvel of engineering. You can use it to zoom quickly through on-screen items, or scroll slowly and precisely. A quick press of the crown opens the app menu and a long press opens Siri. (Later, Apple will enable the EKG capturing ability of the crown — something no other wearable offers.)
Digital Crown
The action button on the right of the chassis is flush with the surface and harder to find by feel. You just kind of know where it is. A quick press opens the app dock, a double press opens Apple Pay, and a long press calls up the SOS, medical ID, and power-down options. The button itself works well and delivers good feedback.
Two slits on the left side of the watch signify the speaker. Apple says it made the speaker louder for the Series 4 Watch and it wasn’t kidding. When compared to my Series 2 Apple Watch, the Series 4 is dramatically louder and clearer.
Apple’s circular cluster of sensors on the bottom of the Watch makes me think of a sci-fi drone or probe of some sort. It’s watching me! Quite literally, the heart rate sensor is beaming light into your skin and looking at the reflection.
Sensors
Apple’s strap design is second to none. Cavities on the top and bottom edges of the Watch accommodate an entire ecosystem of straps from Apple and third parties. These are far easier to deal with than the pins you might encounter with standard watch straps. Apple has ensured that the new 40mm and 44mm watches are compatible with the straps for itd old 38mm and 42mm watches.
Last, the Apple Watch is fully waterproof. It can handle depths up to 50 meters, but Apple says you shouldn’t take it scuba diving. Want to swim in the ocean or a pool? That’s no problem. I wore the watch outside in the pouring rain and it managed just fine.
Out and About
The design may be a bit generic and the Series 4 may not appeal to those who prefer classic round watches, but in the smartwatch category Apple’s hardware is hard to beat.
Software
WatchOS 5, which is what ships on the Series 4, is the best-yet version of Apple’s wearable platform. Notably, the company has honed the operating system to focus on core health-related functions.
App Screen
The basic home screen experience will be familiar to anyone who’s owned an older Apple Watch. The main display houses the watch face, of which there are thousands available for customization. Swipe down for notifications, swipe up for action toggles (GPS, airplane mode, etc.), press the digital crown for the full app menu, and press the action button for the dock.
Infograph
I like that the dock is now arranged in a vertical set of cards that float up and down by swiping on the screen or turning the digital crown. You can customize the order in which apps appear in the dock, or let them sort themselves by most recently used. Either way, this is a fairly quick way to jump back and forth between open apps.
Dock View
Toggles
A handful of new watch faces are available that make use of the Series 4‘s larger, denser screen. As noted above, the Infograph can be fully customized with up top eight complications — or alternate info sources. For example, I have it set to include the weather, my next calendar appointment, my activity rings, the phases of the moon, sunrise/sunset, the battery, a stop watch, the UV index, and the date. This may sound like overkill, but once you get used to the layout of the face it is easier to decipher what’s going on. You can turn off the extra complications if you wish, or pick a watch face that simply tells the time.
Watch Faces
Apple has added tons of workout tools. The best is the auto workout detection. I used this several times to see how well it performed and it surpassed my expectations. For example, I left my house and began a walk. About 11 minutes into the walk, the Series 4 sent me a notification “It looks like you’re taking a walk” and offered to record the walk for me. I simply accepted the offer and it credited me for time walked back to the beginning of my sojourn. The Series 4 sent similar notifications when I went for a hike and a bike ride. This is great for those of us who are forgetful.
Tracking Workouts
Recorded workouts are a treasure trove of information. For example, the Series 4 captures the temperature, humidity, and air conditions, your elevation changes, step counts, distances traveled (highly accurately, thanks to GPS), calories burned, active calories burned, time, splits, and so on. All of this information is synced back to your iPhone where you can add it to the Apple Health app, if you wish, for sharing with your health providers. Not everyone cares to have this much information, but for those who do, it’s invaluable.
Workouts on iPhone
The heart rate monitor can literally be a life saver. Since the Apple Watch‘s debut, dozens of people have been alerted to potential heart issues (such as arrhythmia) and sought medical attention, thereby saving their lives. You can adjust how often the Series 4 takes your pulse and checks for other heart rhythm issues. It determines your resting heart rate, your walking heart rate, and highlights maximum rates achieved during workouts. It then stores the data so it can easily be consumed in charts and graphs.
Heart Settings
Apple stunned everyone when it announced that the Series 4 can capture an EKG, or a reading of your heart’s electrical activity. It does this when users touch the digital crown. The feature isn’t yet available and will be enabled later this fall. For people who need to monitor their heart regularly, this can prevent multiple trips to the doctor’s office for exams that cost real money.
The fall detection feature isn’t ready yet, either, but also may be a life saver. The Series 4 can, when enabled, automatically detect when the wearer has fallen. It knows to pause for a few seconds to see if the person gets up. If he or she doesn’t get up, but asks for help, the Watch will call the owner’s emergency contacts. If he or she doesn’t answer at all, the Watch will automatically dial 911. This suddenly makes the Apple Watch a very interesting option for people who want to ensure their older relatives are safe and taken care of.
WatchOS 5 brings another interesting, long-promised feature: walkie-talkie capability. The app ostensibly allows any two Apple Watches to talk to one another walkie-talkie style. You have to set it up between two watches first, and it requires your watch be connected to the internet, whether that’s via WiFi, or cellular, or your iPhone. Unfortunately, it’s cumbersome and unreliable. When it works, it’s a delight. When it doesn’t, you’ll wonder why you didn’t just pick up the phone.
Phone Calls
This new platform is the icing on the cake that is the Series 4.
With Apple’s W3 radio chip and Bluetooth 5.0 aboard, pairing with an iPhone is the easiest experience possible. It takes all of 5 seconds to get your iPhone and Apple Watch talking. Have a pair of Apple AirPods? If you’ve previously paired them with your iPhone, the AirPods automatically also pair with your Apple Watch.
The Bluetooth bond between Watch and iPhone — and AirPods — never wavered. If you leave the standard 30-foot range of Bluetooth, the Watch so easily reconnects to the iPhone you often never know it was temporarily disconnected.
Music I streamed from the Watch to Apple’s AirPods sounded as good as it does when streamed from the iPhone. You can use the Watch and your AirPods together and leave the iPhone at home, without making any sacrifices on your music listening. (By the way, the Series 4 has 16 GB of storage, which is more than enough space for your favorite playlists.)
Music
When on jogs, walks, hikes, or other outdoor adventures, the Series 4‘s GPS radio tracks you like a bloodhound. The darned thing knew which side of the street I was walking on.
Maps
The new S4 processor is a marked improvement over Apple’s previous wearable CPUs. The Series 4 performed significantly faster than older watches installing the same system updates. The UI was smooth and uniform throughout. Apps opened quickly and closed quickly. Nearly everything the watch does, it does in a blink. Apple’s revised silicon is superior.
Watch Face
For a wearable, the Series 4‘s battery life doesn’t do too poorly. Third-party teardowns of the Series 4 suggest the battery may actually be smaller than the one found in the Series 3. Even so, the Series 4 will push through an entire day, complete with GPS-based workout tracking, without breaking a sweat. That’s about as far as it gets. I was able to use the watch through the early morning hours on day two, but had to find the charger well before lunch time. It would be really great for a smartwatch to last for at least two full days. The Series 4 does not. This is where you’ll get more mileage from lower-cost devices from companies such as FitBit, which prioritize battery life.
Settings
The haptic engine is perhaps one of Apple’s finest engineering feats. The tiny motor in the watch is able to deliver delicate and precise taps to your wrist that are subtle, yet unmistakable. You can turn the haptic engine off, but I can’t imagine why you’d want to. It’s by far the best way to receive any notification on the Apple Watch.
More Settings
Discussion
iPhone owners do have a selection when it comes to smartwatches and other wearables. None, however, is as complete or as compelling as the Apple Watch Series 4.
The new device from Apple has a great screen, a comfortable form factor, and high-quality materials. The simple hardware controls function as intended and ensure the wearable is easy to operate. I appreciate that Apple kept the new device compatible with its existing range of straps. Toss in the louder speaker, the improved heart rate monitor, fall detection, and the EKG, and you have something no other watch offers.
WatchOS 5 ensures that the Series 4 puts its features to good and effective use. Adjusting watch faces, tracking workouts, triaging notifications, and more is a breeze. I appreciate the new functions, such as the walkie talkie, even if the execution isn’t perfect.
If you have a Series 1 or Series 2 Apple Watch, do not hesitate to upgrade to the Series 4 The huge jump in performance is worth it. If you have a Series 3, the only reason to upgrade to the Series 4 is if you specifically want the larger screen, EKG, and fall detection.
Apple has unveiled the most significant upgrades to the Apple Watch since it first went on sale in 2015, turning the product into more of a health-monitoring device.
The new version, called Apple Watch Series 4, has larger screens that fit into the same overall watch sizes, and new health sensors and apps such as an electrocardiogram, or ECG, monitor. It also includes a faster dual-core processor called the S4, Apple said. The new smartwatch line was introduced on Wednesday at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California by chief operating officer Jeff Williams.
Williams described the latest Watch as an “intelligent guardian of your health”, noting that Apple got clearance for the ECG app from the US Food and Drug Administration, the first of its kind.
This update really establishes the company’s increasing efforts to push the watch as a serious medical device
The feature “is really a game changer as the first wearable device with this feature”, Evercore ISI analyst Ross Muken wrote in a note to investors. “This update really establishes the company’s increasing efforts to push the watch as a serious medical device.”
The Watch has more powerful sensors so it can spot when someone has a hard fall. It delivers an alert and calls emergency services if the user doesn’t move for one minute after a fall, Williams said. The ECG capability, available later this year, helps the device sense atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rate that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
“The FDA worked closely with the company as they developed and tested these software products, which may help millions of users identify health concerns more quickly,” FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. Health-care products on ubiquitous devices, like smartwatches, may help users seek treatment earlier and will empower them with more information about their health, he added.
Higher price
The new Watch line starts at US$399, Apple said, compared to the $329 starting price of last year’s model. The device has 50% louder speakers, improving interaction with the Siri digital assistant. The back of the Watch lets more cellular signals through, making calls clearer. Battery life remains the same.
Fitbit, the maker of popular fitness devices, fell more than 5% as Apple unveiled its Watch plans.
The Apple Watch hasn’t been a monster hit like the iPhone, but it’s the world’s best-selling smartwatch and is helping the company expand health-care related services. The Watch is part of the company’s Other Products segment, which saw revenue jump 37% to $3.7-billion in the fiscal third quarter. Apple shipped 4.7 million watches in that period, beating rivals like Xiaomi and Fitbit, according to International Data Corp. — Reported by Mark Gurman,
For the first time since its introduction four years ago, the Apple Watch has a new design—and we don’t just mean the addition of a red dot on the Digital Crown. The new fourth-generation watch includes a larger screen and a slightly bigger case, but still retains the classic styling that has made the Apple Watch a worldwide hit.
But the beauty of the new Apple Watch isn’t skin deep. We can’t wait to get our fingers on that new display, but there’s way more to it than a few extra pixels. Here are six more reasons you’ll want to upgrade to a new Apple Watch and one reason why you might want to wait.
The design is better than ever
If you look at Apple Watch, you probably won’t notice any major changes to the case: It’s still square, it still has a Digital Crown, it still has a single button on the side. But if you look closer, you’ll see subtle changes that improve the look and feel of the Apple Watch. For one, the screen is way bigger, with more than 30 percent more pixels. It’s also thinner, so even though the cases are two millimeters bigger than the previous generation at 40mm and 44mm, respectively, the entire package should feel less substantial.

It’s also thinner, so even though the cases are two millimeters bigger than the previous generation at 40mm and 44mm, respectively, the entire package should feel less substantial.
The Digital Crown on the Apple Watch Series 4 does a whole lot more.
Additionally, the corners have deeper curves, so it’ll look even better on you wrist. The microphone placement has been moved to make phone calls clearer, the back is made of black ceramic and sapphire to improve connectivity, and the speaker is 50 percent louder so all those Siri requests will sound even better.
There are way more faces
To accompany the 30-percent larger screen, Apple designed several new faces to take advantage of the extra real estate, starting with an update to its classic Utility face with space for up to eight complications now. Apple showed off a face with either three international clocks or three contact circles, so the possibilities are kind of endless.
You can fit an insane amount of complications on the new Apple Watch’s bigger screen.
If you don’t want to fill up your screen with complications, there are also all-new designer faces for the Apple Watch Series 4. There’s a new Breathe face that gives you animated guides when you need to take a stress break, as well as Fire, Water, and Vapor faces that fill your screen with lush, fluid animations whenever you raise your wrist. And finally, if you want a Nike Series 4 Apple Watch, those faces have been reimagined as well.
The Digital Crown is super-charged
On previous Apple Watches, the Digital Crown pretty much served two functions: going home and scrolling. It still does those things on Apple Watch Series 4, but you’ll now receive haptic feedback as you navigate your watch so you won’t scroll too fast. That’s nice and all, but the biggest enhancement to the Digital Crown is one you won’t see: an electrical heart sensor.
The Digital Crown is also an ECG sensor on the Apple Watch Series 4.
That’s right, you can now take an electrocardiogram (ECG) right on your wrist. Just press your finger against the side of the crown and your watch will start measuring your heart rhythm, recording the data in the Apple Health app and alerting you to irregular patterns. Not only has it already received FDA approval, but Apple says it is the first ECG sensor offered over the counter directly to consumers.
It’ll know when you fall
In addition to a new S4 chip, which is up to two times faster than the previous generation, Apple has also added a next-generation accelerometer and gyroscope to the new Apple Watch, which will make measuring movements up to eight times faster. That’s great for exercising, but there’s a cool new trick the new watch can do too: detect falls.
The Apple Watch Series 4 can detect when you fall.
We’ve all seen the commercial where the elderly woman falls and screams, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” Now, your Apple Watch can detect when you’ve fallen and instantly send you an alert with an SOS button that will call 911 when pressed. And what’s more, if your watch detects that you haven’t moved for a minute following a fall, it will alert the authorities and provide your location.
It could save your life in a whole new way
We’ve all heard stories about how the Apple Watch has saved people’s lives by alerting them to a high resting heart beat, but now Apple has added two new heart rate detection features to the new watch. Firstly, it’ll notify you if your heart rate is too low. And it’ll also monitor your heart rhythm and alert you if it detects an irregular rhythm, which could be a warning sign of atrial fibrillation, which could lead to blood clots, strokes, and heart failure.
Your old bands will still work
Despite being slightly larger than the previous generations of watches, all of the old bands you’ve collected will still work, as well as any third-party ones. And there’s a cool new one: Nike has added reflective yarn to its Loop band so runners and bicyclists will be even more visible at night.
The features of the new Apple Watch Series 4.
But… it’s more expensive
The kicker to the new Apple Watch Series 4 is that it’s a lot more expensive than the Series 3 watch. Apple Watch Series 4 with GPS starts at $399 now, rather than $299 before. And if you want one of the cellular models, it’ll cost you an additional $100, starting at $499. So you won’t be able to buy as many watch bands to go with it.
LG G7 One and LG G7 Fit Offer Flagship-Level Intelligent Features at Exceptional Price Points
At IFA 2018, LG Electronics (LG) will be introducing two exciting additions to the G7 series of smartphones with the LG G7 One and LG G7 Fit. Building on the foundation of the advanced LG G7 ThinQ, both of the new phones offer a balance of premium features and exceptional prices for discerning customers.
Many consumers today are turning their attention to legacy flagship smartphones which are seen as offering better values compared to the newest mid-range models. These customers aren’t satisfied with mediocre components but also don’t want to pay for over-the-top features in some of today’s premium phones that they will never use. The challenge is finding the smartphone with just the right balance.
LG G7 One
The LG G7 One is the first Android One smartphone from LG that brings together the best of the company’s smartphone experience and expertise with Google’s latest smartphone OS innovations. Designed to be one of the most versatile Android One smartphones on the market today, the LG G7 One sports the proven Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile platform paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It has the same all-glass design aesthetic of the LG G7 ThinQ with a polished metal rim for a sleek and slim appearance that is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance. The 6.1-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) Super Bright Display sporting a 19.5:9 FullVision screen ratio and thin bottom bezel completes the premium style that savvy consumers are looking for.
The LG G7 One runs Android 8.1 Oreo and includes only the most essential apps out of the box, providing users with a smooth and fast smartphone experience. The phone automatically optimizes background activity for the most important operations to maximize battery life. Users can conveniently access the rich AI experience of the Google Assistant by tapping the dedicated button on the side of the phone. LG’s first Android One phone will receive regular security updates with built-in Google Play Protect for total peace of mind.
Also available on the LG G7 One is Google Lens, Google’s new way to search using computer vision and AI technology. Available from inside the Google Assistant and Google Photos, users can search for information about objects, identify text, visit websites, include business cards in contacts, add new events to the calendar or look up an item on a restaurant menu without any typing.
More consumers are using smartphones as primary devices to enjoy music and movies. The LG G7 One is the perfect companion device for unwinding and relaxing with its 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for superb sound when paired with quality earphones. The LG G7 One also delivers virtual 3D sound for all content, up to 7.1 channel audio with DTS:X.
For those who prefer to listen to music without earphones, the LG G7 One also features the unique Boombox Speaker which utilizes the internal space of the phone as a resonance chamber to deliver double the bass and audio of conventional smartphones. When placed on a solid surface or box, the resonance chamber acts as a woofer to amplify the bass effect even more. AI CAM, first introduced in the LG V30S, will be added with an update later this year.
LG G7 Fit
LG G7 Fit was designed to bridge the gap between mid-range and flagship models, delivering exceptional value and performance as well as key features and innovations introduced in the LG G7 ThinQ. Featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 coupled with 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, the LG G7 Fit comes with the stunning 6.1-inch LCD FullVision display with QHD+ (3120 x 1440) resolution powered by LG’s exclusive Super Bright Display LCD to delivery an industry-leading 1,000 nits of brightness.
Like the LG G7 ThinQ, the LG G7 Fit offers premium and intelligent features such as AI CAM, 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, Boombox Speaker and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound. AI CAM lets users choose from eight shooting categories – person, food, pet, landscape, city, flower, sunrise and sunset – for perfectly optimized shots along with three effects options for even more personalization.
“Both the LG G7 One and the LG G7 Fit are designed to allow a broader range of consumers enjoy LG smartphones with proven and flagship-level features,” said Ha Jeung-uk, senior vice president and business unit leader for LG’s Mobile Communications Company. “As the smartphone ecosystem matures, it’s not enough to just offer premium and mid-range phones, there is a growing demand for models in between.”
Visitors to IFA 2018 from August 31 to September 5 can visit LG’s booth in Hall 18 of Messe Berlin to experience and get more information on the LG G7 One and LG G7 Fit. Pricing and other purchase details will be announced locally at the time of availability.

Bloomberg reports that Apple is going to oust Intel from Macs in the next few years.
Apple Inc. is planning to use its own chips in Mac computers beginning as early as 2020, replacing processors from Intel Corp., according to people familiar with the plans.
The initiative, code named Kalamata, is still in the early developmental stages, but comes as part of a larger strategy to make all of Apple’s devices — including Macs, iPhones, and iPads — work more similarly and seamlessly together, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The project, which executives have approved, will likely result in a multi-step transition.
The shift would be a blow to Intel, whose partnership helped revive Apple’s Mac success and linked the chipmaker to one of the leading brands in electronics. Apple provides Intel with about 5 percent of its annual revenue, according to Bloomberg supply chain analysis.
Intel shares dropped as much as 9.2 percent, the biggest intraday drop in more than two years, on the news. They were down 6.4 percent at $48.75 at 3:30 p.m. in New York.
Apple could still theoretically abandon or delay the switch. The company declined to comment. Intel said, “We don’t comment on speculation about our customers.”
For Apple, the change would be a defining moment. Intel chips remain some of the only major processor components designed by others inside Apple’s product portfolio. Currently, all iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs use main processors designed by Apple and based on technology from Arm Holdings Plc. Moving to its own chips inside Macs would let Apple release new models on its own timelines, instead of relying on Intel’s processor roadmap.
“We think that Apple is looking at ways to further integrate their hardware and software platforms, and they’ve clearly made some moves in this space, trying to integrate iOS and macOS,” said Shannon Cross, an analyst at Cross Research. “It makes sense that they’re going in this direction. If you look at incremental R&D spend, it’s gone into ways to try to vertically integrate their components so they can add more functionality for competitive differentiation.”
Stand Out
The shift would also allow Cupertino, California-based Apple to more quickly bring new features to all of its products and stand out from the competition. Using its own main chips would make Apple the only major PC maker to use its own processors. Dell Technologies Inc., HP Inc., Lenovo Group Ltd., and Asustek Computer Inc. use Intel chips.
By using its own chips, Apple would be able to more tightly integrate new hardware and software, potentially resulting in systems with better battery life — similar to iPads, which use Apple chips.
While the transition to Apple chips in hardware is planned to begin as early as 2020, the changes to the software side will begin even before that. Apple’s iPhones and iPads with custom chips use the iOS operating system, while Mac computers with Intel chips run on a different system called macOS. Apple has slowly been integrating user-facing features over the past several years, and more recently starting sharing lower-level features like a new file management system.
‘Marzipan’ Platform
As part of the larger initiative to make Macs work more like iPhones, Apple is working on a new software platform, internally dubbed Marzipan, for release as early as this year that would allow users to run iPhone and iPad apps on Macs, Bloomberg News reported last year.
The company has also previously released Macs with ARM-based co-processors, which run an iOS-like operating system, for specific functions like security. The latest MacBook Pro and iMac Pro include the co-processors. Apple plans to add that chip to a new version of its Mac Pro, to be released by next year, and new Mac laptops this year, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Intel has dominated computing processors for more than a decade, taking market share from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., its only rival in the market. Intel also designs and builds modem chips for some iPhone models so that they can connect to cellular networks and make calls. While Apple is down the list of computer sellers by unit shipments, it’s third when measured by revenue last year, highlighting the premium status of its products.
Apple’s decision to switch away from Intel in PC’s wouldn’t have a major impact on the chipmaker’s earnings because sales to the iPhone maker only constitute a small amount of its total, said Kevin Cassidy, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. A bigger concern would be if this represents part of a wider trend of big customers moving to designing their own components, he said.
In 2005, Apple announced a move to Intel chips in its Macs, an initiative that put former Intel Chief Executive Officer Paul Ottelini on stage with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. It was a partnership that shook up the PC industry and saw Apple shift away from chips co-developed by IBM and Motorola.
Apple’s current chip designs made their name in thin and light mobile devices. That would indicate Apple will start the transition with laptops before moving the designs into more demanding desktop models. Apple has to walk the fine line of moving away from Intel chips without sacrificing the speed and capabilities of its Macs.
A decision to go with ARM technology in computers might lend it credibility where it has failed to gain a foothold so far. Qualcomm Inc., the biggest mobile phone chip provider, is working with PC makers to introduce new thin and light laptops based on its chips in another attempt to steal share from Intel. Microsoft Corp. is supporting that effort by providing a version of its Windows operating system for ARM technology-based chips.
Intel’s dominance of the market has been based on its ability to use leading manufacturing technology to produce processors that are more powerful than those of its competitors. Its would-be rivals haven’t yet produced designs that have displaced Intel’s products when it comes to crunching data quickly.
Apple’s custom processors have been recently manufactured principally by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. Its decision may signal confidence that TSMC and other suppliers such as Samsung Electronics Co. have closed the gap on Intel’s manufacturing lead and can produce processors that are just as powerful.
Intel is starving for a chunk of iPhone’s chip business.
A (very brief) report from Ian King and Mark Gurman at Bloomberg states that Apple will begin using its own chips in Macs, replacing processors from Intel, beginning in 2020. The report only cites “people familiar with the plans,” but Gurman has a very good track record for Apple rumors.
Of course, predicting the moves of any major tech company two years out is sketchy at best; even if you’re accurate at the time, plans can and do change.
The report is very brief and developing, but it says the initiative is code-named Kalamata and is part of a larger effort to get iOS devices and macOS devices to work together better. The plan has been approved by company executives, and the transition away from Intel chips will probably happen in multiple steps.
The impact on you at home: If this comes to pass, it’s an absolute bombshell. Apple is absolutely capable of producing some incredibly speedy chips—many have noted that the A11 in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X is already as fast as some Intel CPUs used in MacBooks. Creating chips for use in larger, more powerful Macs (iMacs and Mac Pros) is a bigger challenge, but one that Apple’s engineers seem up to.
This would herald a major shift on the software side, though. MacOS and the myriad of applications made for it are simply not compatible with the architecture of Apple’s current chips. Apple has three options: it can completely change macOS to only support its own ARM-compatible architecture (breaking compatibility with all current apps), it can prefer apps for its own architecture but emulate the x86 instruction set to run “legacy” applications (somewhat similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon Windows 10 PCs), or it can produce its own x86-compatible chips (which seems unlikely if the goal is to make Macs and iPhones/iPads move closer together). The last two options may involve tricky licensing agreements that Intel may not want to agree to.
Apple has made major changes to its operating system in the past, requiring significant updates from developers, but the company is now much bigger with greater reach. Such a major shift in the way Macs operate and the way developers write applications for them will have to be managed very carefully.
Apple is promoting the Apple Watch Series 3 as a holiday gift idea in a new series of ads shared this afternoon on its YouTube channel. Entitled “The Gift of Go,” each of the four videos focuses on the Apple Watch Series 3 being used during a specific activity.
The ads focus on snowboarding, soccer, working out, and swimming, with each one showing off a different Apple Watch Series 3 feature. Soccer and snowboarding, for example, demonstrate phone calls over cellular and text messaging.
Workout highlights Apple Music, and Swim focuses on the Workout app. All of the ads share the same general style – a quick look at a feature that shifts to a multi-object view that then transforms into wrapping paper over an Apple Watch Series 3 box.
These videos are just about 15 seconds in length, which is the video length that Apple uses for social media ads on sites like Instagram.
All of the videos focus on the aluminum Apple Watch Series 3 models that have LTE capabilities, with the red Digital Crown clearly visible in each one.
While these are the first short videos featuring the Apple Watch Series 3 that Apple has shared, the company has been running several Apple Watch ads that debuted when the device was first announced in September.
Apple Watch Series 3 models are likely to be a popular holiday gift. Pricing on the Series 3 models with LTE begins at $399, while non-LTE models are priced at $329.
You may have heard that Apple‘s first LTE-enabled Apple Watch was having issues with unsecured Wi-Fi networks, which prevented the smartwatch from using its LTE connection. When out of known Wi-Fi coverage the Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE would latch onto public networks that require a browser sign-in to work. Given that the watch lacks a browser it would connect to the network but not have internet.
Now Apple has fixed the issue in its latest watchOS update – watchOS 4.0.1.
All you need to do in order to get the fix is download iOS 11.0.2 on your iPhone and then update the Apple Watch Series 3.
It’s been an unusually bumpy introduction for the cellular Apple Watch. Outside of the aforementioned issues users in the UK have reported difficulties activating the eSIM in the new Apple Watch.
Here’s hoping it’s smooth sailing from here on out.
