Apple Event 2017: 3 iPhones launched and more… Hello, iPhone X!

Apple lovers were in for a treat!

After months of speculation and rumor, the new iPhones are now launched! And we were in for a twist with the official names! Plus even more!

For months we’ve been circulating rumors and imagery about the new front face of the iPhone 8? Well, it’s officially called the iPhone X! What about the phones rumored to be called iPhone 7S and 7S Plus? That’s tofficially he iPhone 8 and 8 Plus!

Read on as we give you the rundown of the Apple Event!

First up are the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone 8 has a 4.7” widescreen LCD Multi-Touch display with a 1334-by-750 pixel resolution at 326 ppi, while the iPhone 8 Plus sports a 5.5” widescreen LCD Multi-Touch display and a 1920-by-1080 resolution at 401 ppi.

Both phone displays have the Retina HD Display with True Tone Technology, they’re powered by the ultra powerful A11 Bionic Chip and they are calibrated for Augmented Reality. The iPhone 8 Plus has dual cameras, Portrait mode and Portrait Lighting (although still in beta)

And folks, these 2 phones still have Touch ID.

Both will be available at 64GB and 256GB capacities. Price for the iPhone 8 starts at $699. While the iPhone 8 Plus at $799. Preorder starts September 15 and will be available by September 22.

And now for the phone that has been widely rumored: the iPhone X (or called as the iPhone Ten)!

The phone boasts of a 5.8 inch all-screen OLED Multi-Touch Display and a 2436-by-1125-pixel resolution at 458 ppi. Apple has coined this as the first to have the Super Retina Display. The device is powered by the A11 Bionic chip too.

Here we have to say goodbye to the Touch ID. The iPhone X now has a remarkable Face ID that is enabled by a sensor array called the TruDepth Camera for facial recognition. Other than unlocking your phone, this will be used for Apple Pay and stunning selfies! Like the iPhone 8 Plus, this also has the Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting.

Augmented Reality is also pushed for this phone. One notable new feature is the Animoji! Check the Apple website for the most detailed account of all specifications.

The iPhone X will be available at 64GB and 256GB capacities, while pricing starts at $999. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait awhile… preorder for the phone starts on October 27 and will be available by November 3.

So we have this current iPhone line:

And there’s more than JUST phones!

Apple Watch

What’s new for the Apple Watch is the capability of cellular built right in. You can connect your iPhone number to the watch and don’t have to bring your phone! Although the case for Series 3 is the same for Series 2, the new features are crazy! You can stream 40 million songs directly to your watch, monitor your health stats and elevate your workouts with a host of new fitness apps. Price starts at $329 for GPS enabled only and $399 for the one with both GPS and cellular built-in. Preorder starts Sept 15 while it’ll be available by September 22.

Apple TV

This has also been upgraded with combination of 4K and High Dynamic Range for a more lifelike view. Live sports, live news will now also be streamed in the TV App. It’ll be available at 32GB and 64GB capacities. Price starts at $179.

Ok, as rumored, these phones are seriously expensive!

We totally understand how this can put a dent on your wallet. (The $999 price for the iPhone X is quite huge.) That’s why we at Tech Armor want to make sure that your devices are as protected as possible!

For the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus our top-rated iPhone 7 and 7 Plus screen protectors are ready to protect your devices!

iPhone 8: announcement date set!

iPhone 8: we got a date!

September 12 folks! Set your calendars…

The internet is abuzz as we finally got a date for the iPhone 8! Read on to know more! The day we’ve all been waiting for! Apple officially announced that September 12 is the Keynote 2017 for (presumably) the iPhone 7S/ 7S Plus and iPhone 8 (or whatever it will be called).

Days before, Wall Street Journal may have just confirmed this straight from Tim Cook himself. Contributor at Forbes Gordon Kelly also has the same tune. While TechCrunch is affirming this is the date Apple is aiming for.

Other dates to remember?

With September 12 being right on the money, Mashable hypothesized this will be the timeline based on Apple’s previous launches:

Sept. 15 – Preorders will start
Sept. 19 – first reviews of the new iPhones will come out
Sept. 20 – iOS 11 will be available for download
Sept. 22. – iPhone 7S and 7S Plus will go on sale (the new Apple watch too should it be announced in the Keynote)

What about the iPhone 8?

The same site reports that Apple might say it will be available “later this fall”, however BGR says otherwise. They’re claiming it will run alongside the 7S/7S Plus as it’s the only way it’ll hit its target revenue for the month.

Where will it be held?

Apple will be launching at the Steve Jobs Theater, which is still under construction.

There were previous talks that if construction won’t finish in time, they may opt for the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco where previous iPhone events were held.

OK, is the price really $1,000 for the iPhone 8??

No official word yet. But current rumor has it that the 64GB Capacity could start at $999. Then go as high as $1,199. We at Tech Armor totally understand that this may bring about a huge dent into your wallet. Even if you choose the possible iPhone 7S/ 7S Plus, that’s still quite a huge amount and that kind of large investment deserves the utmost protection. Good news is we’ve got the just what you need!

For all your iPhone 8 protection needs, it’s all in just o ne page here!

The Tech Armor Ballistic Glass, Matte-Antiglare and Privacy Screen Protector will be ready! Best to pair that with our upcoming FlexProtect Case too!

Complete your gadget accessories for the ultimate experience! The ActivePower power bank will always be ready wherever and whenever you need to charge your device!

iPhone 8 Rumors: more info from HomePod?

That device is a gold mine!!!

More rumors and discoveries are abound with the upcoming iPhone close to knocking on our doors…or wallets to be more precise. Now let’s go head on!

More info from the HomePod

Developer Guilherme Rambo dug deeper within the HomePod firmware code/iOS 11 beta and found videos within on how we might just live without the Touch ID and physical Home button.

The first video he posted shows an iPhone accessing the Control Center by swiping from right to left. Though sacrificing the shortcut to the camera.

The second video he tweeted demonstrates how you can access the app-switcher with swipe up gesture. Just a little extra: he also added videos displaying how the HomePod can be configured, the Apple TV and Whole House Audio using any device with an Apple ID. Though it makes a lot of sense, it might be best to take it with a grain of salt for the mean time.

Facial Recognition: Apple’s final choice?

This can be considered as pretty sure as the Korea Herald reported the phone will advanced facial recognition scanner plus 3-D sensors for AR applications.

The 3-D facial recognition sensor can sense your face in millionths of a second. It’ll be used to unlock the phone and make payments. And is practically instant too according to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Bloomberg also showed rumored schematics for the iPhone 8 :

Plus there’s this photo from Slashleaks showing what appears to be the 3-D sensor in the flesh!

Great! So about the price…?

Definitely no going back with the $1,000 price range folks. Alright, alright, time to make sure the wallet’s ready for that huge dent! We know where you’re coming from on this. That’s why we want to make sure that no dents, dings, scratches or whatsoever ever comes close to your new device.

For that sweet phone, we will be providing the ULTIMATE AND COMPLETE Tech Armor signature protection! It’s all in one page too! 😉

Best to pair it with Tech Armor’s FlexProtect Case which we will be releasing real soon too! Other than that, we’re prepared for any cable Apple may use. Plus we’ve got the Active Power Series power banks, our car chargers and our new Universal Car Mounts too!

Protecting your device will always be taken seriously here at Tech Armor: so you can keep on playing! 😉

Samsung Galaxy Note 8: bigger and better

Galaxy Note 8: bigger and better

It’s finally here folks!

After the explosion (literally) of last year’s Note 7, Samsung’s finally back with the Note 8! Planning to buy yours? We’ve got you covered with this announcement rundown from Unpacked 2017!

What’s awesome on the phone?

Display

The Galaxy Note 8 has a bigger display with 6.3 inches and 2960 x 1440 resolution. It’s got the AMOLED Infinity Display like the Galaxy S8 and a 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

Phone Features/Highlights

App wise there’s App Pair where you can create shortcut and simultaneously launch 2 apps at once in a MultiWindow.

There’s the Screen Off Memo and pin to always on display screen update. Just double tap the note you pinned on the screen with the S Pen and start writing. You can write until 100 pages. Speaking of S Pen, Samsung made it have a finer tip and better pressure sensitivity. You can also translate sentences by hovering over the sentence with the S Pen.

The S Pen can now make messages animated with Live Message. It can be added to photos. It’s in a standard animation format, easy to share with everyone.

Samsung literally doubled the camera power by powering the phone with Wide Lens and Telephoto Lens. They’re proud to say it’s the first smartphone to also have Dual Optical Image Stabilization available for both lenses. They even compared it with the iPhone 7 camera:

And just like the Galaxy S8, Dex, Gear VR and Gear 360 is also for the Note 8. Knox is also placed in the device to secure the phone. And of course Bixby.

Oh, did we mention it’ll also have earphones from AKG.

How about the battery? It’s powered by a smaller 3,300 mAh battery (pretty sure just to be on the safe side).

Under the hood it’ll be powered by 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, 10 nm processor in the US. It’ll have 6GB RAM and choice of 64/128/256 GB storage, expandable up to 256 GB.

When’s it available?

It’ll be out by September 15! Though you can already preorder today and get some awesome perks.

Colors Midnight Black and Orchid Gray will be available in the US. While no announcement made yet where Maple Gold and Deepsea Blue will be.

No official price yet in Samsung’s Page as of this writing. Though several carriers have posted their outright prices:

Verizon: $960 off contract for 64GB model
AT&T: $950 outright
Sprint: $999.99 full retail

ALMOST $1,000?! No kidding…

Unfortunately, we aren’t kidding on the price. With that kind of price, it definitely deserves the best protection. Especially that awesome screen!!! No worries, Tech Armor has just what you’ll need!

We’re also taking preorders for the 3D Curved Ballistic Glass Screen Protector! It’ll be here just in time when you get your Note 8. We’ve got your other accessories covered too to keep your Galaxy Note 8 charged, synced and ready! Need extra USB-Type C Devices? We’ve got lots for you to choose from!

Going on a road trip? Make sure you’ve got a Dual USB Car Charger and a Car Mount!

And if you’re always on the go and 3,300mAh is not enough, keep it charged with our ActivePower Power Bank!

We’ll always have your back! 😉

iPhone 8 Rumors: third color and more (thanks again HomePod)!

With just WEEKS away from September, what’s new in the web for iPhone 8?

We’re pretty sure everyone (including us ) really had a blast with the iPhone 8 leaks coming from the HomePod. But for now folks, let’s see what’s new this week! We might get lucky again right? 😉

More info found in the HomePod?

And yes we do get lucky again! The developers who found lots of info from the HomePod last time have more news for us! Developer Steve Troughton-Smith kept digging onto the HomePod and found that the home button in the upcoming iPhone:

Can be resized
Indicator can be hidden
No API to change its color, and
Tab bars extend under it (background of bar extends underneath); check out the picture below:

Troughton-Smith also discovered metrics regarding the status bar on the edge-to-edge iPhone, including notch height and ear width. Olivier Charavel was quick enough to create a mockup with the numbers. This is what may be expected to be the touch screen part on the upcoming iPhone:

Hold on folks, there’s more! Developer Guilherme Rambo saw codes from the HomePod that the phone will suppress notification sounds when you’re looking at it.

Plus the known coded Pearl ID:

Software definitely supports payments
3rd party apps can use it
You can add multiple faces (relating to the face recognition lock)

Copper turned Gold?

Known-leaker Benjamin Geskin says the iPhone 8 will only be in 3 colors: Black, Silver and so far Foxconn’s internal name “Blush Gold”. This info was also released from Weibo and will only be sold with 64GB or 128GB.

Though several reports bounce between the phone being color: Copper, “Copper-Gold” and Gold. Then there’s also the term Rose Gold for the same color.

Hands on with a dummy phone

MacRumors got hold of a dummy phone that gives a clear look on how the upcoming iPhone will look like. It’s based on leaks, CAD drawings, etc. that came out this July.

Still have to ask: price?

Sad to say it’s still at around $1,000. Yup, that high. 🙁

So Apple’s really doing this are they? Going $1,000 high? We know, we know. It’s A LOT of money to invest on. That price is no joke. Best to keep it as safe as possible. Phew!

APPLE UPDATE:

Don’t forget that Apple is ALSO likely to release updated versions of the iPhone 7 (rumored to be called the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus). Fortunately Tech Armor already has these screens covered as the device hardware should remain the same. However, a new report indicates there may actually be a slight change to the body size (roughly 0.1mm on all sides). While this may seem insignificant, it could produce problems with existing iPhone 7 and 7 Plus cases fitting these new devices. We’ll keep you updated as we hear more!

When it comes to protecting devices, Tech Armor takes it seriously: so you can keep on playing! 😉

For your iPhone 8 needs, we got them all on one page! 😉

Screen Protector? We’ll be ready with our Ballistic Glass Screen Protectors! While our Matte-Antiglare and Privacy will be just around the corner!
Case? Most definitely having that too! Our FlexProtect Case will be here just in time to protect the device!

Whichever cable Apple decides to use, we’ve got them too! And you can easily connect it with the ActivePower Series Power banks, car chargers and our new car mounts too!

iPhone 8: Breakthrough leaks?

Special thanks go directly to Apple for this latest iPhone 8 rumor! 😉

Bad news is someone or maybe a whole team in Apple is in hot water after the web exploded with the leaks coming from them. Good news is: we benefit from confirmed information! Read on to learn more. 😉

Apple leaked iPhone 8 data?

Well, Apple pushed out the firmware for the $349 HomePod surprisingly way ahead of its release in December. (Fun fact: it’ll run on iOS 11.0.2, currently two patches ahead of what’s available for the public.)

So far 2 developers took the opportunity to check out the code. Little did they know, they’ll be discovering gold nuggets on the iPhone 8.

What did they discover? “Pearl and D22”

Face Recognition may certainly be a go for the iPhone 8. Steve Troughton-Smith discovered code name “Pearl” along with the lines of: BKFaceDetectOperation, settooCloseToCamera and setTooFarFromCamera to name a few. With all of the rumored trouble Apple was having with integrating Touch ID into the iPhone 8 screen, it appears that face recognition will take its place.

He also found mentions it’ll be using infrared camera which is more user friendly since it works well in low-light situations, compared to ones used in Galaxy S8 and likes.

While Guilherme Rambo found code name “D22” and rendered the phone icon available for it:

Looks pretty familiar right? 😉

No new leaks on the price?

Unfortunately, none coming from the horse’s mouth on that, although rumors are still at $1,000 to $1,400.

No going back with the $1,000 price range?

Seems that way folks. But look at the bright side! Tech Armor promises to keep your huge device investments safe from drops and scratches!

We’re currently testing and perfecting our Screen Protector line for this upcoming device. So by the time you get Apple’s new flagship phone, you can immediately arm it with us!

We’ll have an awesome case too so you definitely get the best from signature Tech Armor Protection! 😉

Will you be needing additional accessories for your phone? We’ve got just what you need 😉 We’ve got cables for at home and on the go needs and awesome ActivePower Power banks when you’re always moving about!

Always on the road? Our car chargers and car mounts would be perfect for you!

LG V30: launching this August 31?

Will it use OLED displays too?

LG might just release a new phone on their V series line. Exactly your cup of tea? Let us help you out to get the latest on the rumor mill! 😉

Specs to expect: lots of upgrades

Display: joining the bandwagon?

The Investor reported earlier this year that LG will also start using OLED screens,

beginning with the LG V30. Which may look like the Galaxy S8.

Though it’ll still have the V series signature second screen. But this time it might slide out from under the main screen.

What’s under the hood?

The new LG phone will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835, along with 6GB of RAM. And the device will have an audio boost with the upgraded Quad DAC.

It’ll also be one of the first devices to be Daydream-ready. It’s Google’s new virtual reality platform that revolves on using headsets, peripherals and software.

Other new possible perks?

Everyone might just be in luck as the LG V30 may also sport two 13MP rear cameras just like the G6 has.

Another rumor that’s come up is the device will have a glass back to feature wireless charging.

Any leads on the release?

Lots in the web agree that LG will be launching the new device on August 31. As they all share the sentiment it’s what’s being hinted in the invite the tech giant sent out.

Another important question: how much?

As of now price range goes from $699 to likely over $700 USD and even upto $750

That’s still pretty expensive!

We totally understand that getting a great phone is no walk in the park. Especially with the price getting higher.

So here at Tech Armor, we’ll make sure you get the best possible protection at just a fraction of the price! Pretty neat right? 😉

So not to worry as we’ll be able to help you out if you plan to get the LG V30. We’ll be ready with our screen protectors so the phone’s awesome screen will stay amazing.

If you’re always driving and on the go, you can get our car charger so your phone will always be powered up!

A great combination to that will be our universal magnetic car mounts. You can choose from our 4 options to which best fits your needs!

Oh and don’t fret about germs on ALL your devices with our germ cleaning kits!

LG G6 or LG G6+: which is the one for you?

LG released a G6+ version too! Is it the one for you?

LG G6 is one of the first flagship phones released this 2017. And now just months after, we have the LG G6+!

Now deciding which to get? Let Tech Armor help you out! Read on to know more! 😉

What’s on LG G6 again?

Let’s take a recap on LG’s 2017 flagship phone.

The device was revealed in this year’s Mobile World Congress. It attracted a lot with the less-bezel screen sporting a 18:9 aspect ratio—a first for a smartphone. It also has a Quad HD+ display with a 2,880 x 1,400 resolution. And powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.

Another notable feature is that LG went back to basics compared to its riskier predecessor. It exhibits a simple unibody metal design— which means we had to say goodbye to the removable battery. Oh, and the phone supports Netflix HDR too.

Other specs include 3,300 mAh non removable battery and Full Vision Display.

How will the LG G6 Plus (LG G6+) be different?

Off the bat, one of the popular said upgrades in the new device is the 128GB storage compared to the 32GB in the LG G6. Also, folks will get to enjoy hi-res audio as LG included a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC headphone port.

Plus you’ll have more color options: Optical Astro Black, Marine Blue and Terra Gold. These color options will have a lenticular film on the back of the phone for an optical effect. But other than that, hardware specs is still quite the same with the LG G6: the 5.7-inch QHD display with rounded corners, the Snapdragon 821 processor and the 3,300 mAh battery.

Next 2 questions you might have in mind are: when will it be available and for how much?

Rumored price for the LG G6 Plus so far is around $890. And still no word/rumors when the phone will be globally available.

Now here’s a quick rundown of the specs for both:

Hold on. There’s more! Both the LG G6 and the LG G6+ versions will be getting:

“Face Print” Software where you can unlock your phone using facial recognition
“Low Power Consumption” to help manage the 3300mAh power
“Covered Lens Warning” so you’ll know if you’re blocking the dual lens camera

Seems like both are sweet phones!

They sure are! Here at Tech Armor, we want to make sure that all your gadgets are safe for any kind of scenario! The great news is we’ve got the LG G6 covered too! 😉 Since the screen size/shape didn’t change from the original LG G6 model, our current Ballistic Glass Screen Protector fits both models!

iPhone 8 Rumors: no more Touch ID?

iPhone 8 Rumors : no more Touch ID?

That might even just be the tip of the iceberg for the iPhone 8.

Down to the last few months before the new iPhone 8 is launched! Don’t worry, we’ve got a rundown so you’ll be in the know! 😉

Houston, we may have a problem. Maybe even a lot of them.

With an all-screen display a popular rumor, where will the Touch ID be placed on the iPhone 8?Bad news: there might not be one. Apple might drop it if they won’t be able to embed the fingerprint sensor in the screen.

Folks, there’s more… Known KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts Apple won’t be able to embed the Touch ID in the screen. The feature may be removed totally on the next-generation phone. While his other predictions are quite the same with other rumors in the web. It may then be replaced by a facial recognition system — instead of placing it in the back like the Galaxy S8. An alleged device photo leak from Weibo also shows now Touch ID in the back.

There seems to be tense air too in the Apple HQ. Hardware is good to go but software is still on the rocks. The source said this caused panic to the California-tech giant’s team just this June.

The 3D camera sensor and the wireless/induction charging software are the problems still being fixed. If not fixed in time, it might either cause delay of phone launch or the softwares would be launched at a later time.

But there’s a bright side! The phone just might have a rear-facing 3D laser for AR apps and improved autofocus.

Price? Unfortunately, pricey is likely. Previous rumors said starting price will be around $1,000. Now, entry-level price may start at $1,200.

Though analysts say there may be a slight chance of getting it at a discounted price.

$1,000 is already a LOT. Now rumors have the iPhone 8 around $1,200?!

A $1,200 purchase is most certainly a lot…just to make sure you get an awesome gadget. Here at Tech Armor, we want to make sure you protect the best…with the best! 😉
