News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone X announce

The Apple Malaysia store had a surprise today with their listing of the Apple iPhone X and their official pricing for the 64GB version at RM5149 and the 256GB storage version at RM5899. Colours come in space grey and silver but both colours and storage versions are currently unavailable. No specific Malaysia release dates yet but stay tuned to TechNave.com and we'll keep you updated.

It's been a few weeks now since Apple has rolled out iOS 11, followed by iOS 11.0.1, iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.0.3 and finally, the latest iOS 11.1 that was released on 31 October 2017. Anyway, for those who have gotten the latest iOS 11.1, the update may not seem like there are many changes except for the obvious new App Store design and the Control Centre. But there's more than meets the eye, check out our discovery of the Top 7 iOS features that are hiding in your iPhone (this should work on the iPad too, but we are focusing this on the iPhone).

As usual, Apple always never mentions the specified number on the RAM and mAh battery in their presentations. Leaving the rest of the world figuring out the figures, the company even has the audacity to post "lasts up to 2 hours longer than iPhone 7" on the iPhone X tech-specs list. Like, what does that even mean?! Anyway, we finally can rest easy as TENAA has finally unveiled the mystery.

If you were one of the few to say that the Apple iPhone X is your future then perhaps you'd like to take back your words as Cult of Mac reports the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus beat out the iPhone X in GeekBench 4. Logically, it is something we fully expected considering that all of these new iPhones are running the A11 Bionic chip and the iPhone X bezel-free display and Face ID no doubt saps a good deal of processing power. The full single core and multi core scores are listed here.

The Apple iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have already been officially priced at $999 (~RM4203), $699 (~RM2941) and $799 (~RM3361). However, pricing in Malaysia isn't always a direct conversion of currency from the US pricing, so our resident analyst will show you how the numbers add up and result in a Malaysia price prediction that may actually be much higher than earlier expectations. 

Finally, the long awaited 10th anniversary Apple iPhone X, along with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are revealed to the world. Are they expensive? Yes, yes and yes. As speculated from rumours, the iPhone X's price tag was correctly guessed at $999 (~RM4203), while the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus cost $699 (~RM2941) and $799 (~RM3361) respectively. Below is the official specifications revealed by Apple:

The 10th Anniversary of the Apple iPhone is approaching fast and all will be revealed this Tuesday (in USA time zone). We have reported plenty of iPhone rumours but this one is a unique one because it seems that we may have gotten the "official" names by a developer, who went digging up some new info on the new iPhone.

Can you believe it? We are actually just less than a week away from Apple's annual September event revealing the upcoming latest iPhone. Ever since last year, rumours of the iPhone 8 has never stopped until now and it's even proved to be more popular than the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus (if there's any). It makes sense since it will be the 10th Anniversary of the iPhone, but some think the name iPhone 8 just doesn't click and it could be called the iPhone X (10 in Roman number).

It was only last week we saw some suspicious design page of the Apple iPhone 8 (or iPhone X, as what it is called now), now they are back again yet with another schematic diagram probably from Foxconn, one of Apple’s suppliers revealing to be the “final” design. Let’s take a look below.

So here’s another juicy Apple iPhone 8 rumour news, we already told you that they are planning a new way of wireless charging, but how are they going to do it is quite a mystery. We gotten some sources from popular Apple analyst and KGI Securities, Ming-Chi Kuo about it, check out what he has to say.
