Looking back on a new week of news from Cupertino, this week's Apple Loop will include the launch date of the new iPhone XS models, the big leak of the iPhone XS features and promotional photos, why is Apple afraid of risk & # 39? ; s, how 5G will increase your costs, iPhone SE2 details, new concept for the MacBook Pro, adding the headphone jack to your new iPhone.
Apple Loop is here to remind you of some of the many discussions Apple has had over the last seven days (and you can read my weekly overview of Android news here on Forbes).
Apple announces new launch date of iPhone
With an invitation that is strikingly similar to the lay-out of its new headquarters, Apple has asked the world's attention (and a carefully selected list of attendees) at Steve Jobs Theater on Wednesday, September 12 at 10 am Pacific. & Nbsp;But what could it exhibit?
This year there may be three iPhones with possibly radically different designs and a full screen iPad Pro with Face ID. Not to mention the long-awaited AirPower charging station and the fourth generation Apple Watch. There may be a new MacBook, probably an entry-level model that could replace the MacBook Air. And maybe even AirPods 2, to boot.

Bloomberg manages the main iPhone XS Spoiler
By bringing all the leaks together and some new information, the week started with & nbsp;Mark Gurman and Debby Wu explain almost everything that Tim Cook will announce. At Bloomberg, the pair made the update for the iPhone X, the phablet version and the cheaper iPhone.
The world's most valuable company plans to launch three new phones soon to preserve the edge-to-edge screen design of last year's flagship, according to people familiar with the subject matter. The devices will have a wider range of prices, functions and sizes to increase their appeal, said the people who asked not to be identified about unannounced products.
None of the three iPhones will be completely new, like last year's iPhone X or the iPhone 6 in 2014, while part of Apple labeled the launch as an "S year," an indication the company has given to new handsets that keep the previous design, but add new internal functions. The company plans more significant changes for next year, she added.
This is your new iPhone XS
If the Bloomberg spoiler was not enough, the 9to5Mac team has found official product photos of the two new high-end iPhone machines, along with confirmation that Tim Cook has decided that this is a year in terms of naming protocols.
We believe that the new 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones are both called iPhone XS. We also believe that iPhone XS will get a new golden color option that has not been offered for the new design before. Apple leaked its own gold version of the iPhone X via the FCC, but it was not available to buy.
Other details have yet to be determined, but we can report with certainty that iPhone XS will be the name, the OLED model comes in two sizes, including a larger version, and each will be offered in gold for the first time.

Apple afraid to take risks is his business
What is clear is that the 2018 portfolio update is a very "S" year – there are no major hardware changes, no special features, but slightly faster chips and a Lawe-like bump in specifications of Moore. Tim Cook & # 39; s Apple has decided to play it safe to preserve its user base instead of risking some truly new benefits:
And those details show an Apple that has circumvented any major innovation or change, relying instead on incremental updates for the iPhone that are certainly welcome, but in many cases still do not meet the options offered by Android powered competition.
… What is clear is that the key points in the hardware may be new to Apple's assortment, but all major competitors are established (especially wireless charging, large OLED screens and the trend for almost borderless designs in the forward aspect). Software-wise, the rise of gestures in Android now comes to iOS, the user interface continues to collect new awkward elements, such as a katamari, and of course there is the increased focus on the use of Apple's cloud-based solutions.
iPhone prices will rise with 5G & # 39; s Arrival
Manufacturers who want to add 5G connectivity to their smartphones have discovered how much the licensing of the patents will cost. With a mix of fixed costs and[percentageofsalespurchaseprivilegehough5GsupplementedwithinPhonecostabout$21Thisisnewspeakthewiththatbecauseof2018setsbecauseTimCookaboveovertoIntelenwegofQualcomm[percentageofsellingpricetheprivilegeofadding5GtotheiPhonewillcostaroundThatsaidit'sunlikelytobeseeninthe2018handsetsasTimCookmovesovertoIntelandawayfromQualcomm[percentagevandeverkoopprijshetprivilegeom5GtoetevoegenaandeiPhonekostongeveerDatgezegdhebbendeishetonwaarschijnlijkdathetwordtgezieninde2018-toestellenomdatTimCookoverstaptnaarIntelenwegvanQualcomm[percentageofsellingpricetheprivilegeofadding5GtotheiPhonewillcostaroundThatsaidit’sunlikelytobeseeninthe2018handsetsasTimCookmovesovertoIntelandawayfromQualcommGordon Kelly explains:
The controversial decision of the company to depend exclusively on historical interiors of Intel modems in all new iPhones means that the upcoming generation will most likely not support 5G. But with Galaxy S10 from Samsung recently confirmed as being 5G compatible, Apple will need to step up and bite the license bullet as soon as next year.

But the iPhone 8S / SE2 gets a price drop
Before that happens, there is the issue of the iPhone 8. Although earlier expectations this year for a direct replacement were, it seems that Apple will implement some cost savings to the price of the & # 39; iPhone 8S & # 39; bring down … or the price of the iPhone SE successor a bit higher, depending on your point of view. Tim Cook and his team will manage that with your typical midrange speeds, including a low-resolution screen, limited RAM, slower Wi-Fi network and a single-lens camera. But the surprise may not be the price, it can be the delay. & Nbsp;Forbes & # 39; Gordon Kelly has more:
… the iPhone 9 is facing a delayed launch compared to the other models and Kuo believes this too. Although he does not give up a delay, the company's speech says that it can take several months before Christmas has a last-minute rush.
Despite all this doom and gloom, however, Kuo emphasizes part of the iPhone 9 that will probably win over any shortcomings: the price.
As Apple continues to roll the iPhone X and iPhone X Plus around $ 1,000, Kuo says Apple will sell the iPhone 9 for no more than $ 699 and it could be as low as $ 600. – Overcomes everything, he expects that iPhone 9 shipments in the first half of 2019 will account for no less than 70% of all new iPhone sales.
Prepare for disappointment with the latest MacBook Pro concept
If Tim Cook decided that & # 39; think different & # 39; should apply to the MacBook Pro, what would happen? Industrial design student Furkan Kasap thinks the keyboard and user interface are ripe to improve & # 39; and he has put his vision on a MacBook Pro Touch. & Nbsp;But Apple stubbornly refuses to take risks with the Mac line-upso this concept will probably remain exactly that:
There is a big problem in building the hope of a serious review of the MacBook Pro or one of the MacOS powered machines. Apple has not shown any cravings or hunger for years to bring real innovation to the MacBook series.
The Touch Bar did bring a tweak to the keyboard, but by removing the function keys (and the physical escape key), Tim Cook and his team forgot that the MacBook should first and foremost strive for a good computer on the desk. no replacement for the iPad.
More thoughts about the concept images and video here.
And finally…
What happens when Apple removes the headphone jack from your favorite smartphone? If you are Scotty Allen, break your smartphone and put it back in again.
Millions of people have seen video maker Scotty Allen work with a working headphone jack on his iPhone after Apple removed the port from his phones in 2016.
Chris Foxx from the BBC asked him how he became interested in smartphone DIY.
