Aerospace-grade aluminum, 7-layer color process on the glass, he says.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:57:58 PM
Glass reinforced by steel. "laser welded steel and copper structure"
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:58:01 PM
There's a steel and copper structure.

"most durable glass in smartphone" - how shatter resistant?
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:58:15 PM
Schiller touts this as the most durable glass ever put into the phone, he says.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:58:22 PM
Still 4.7 and 5.5 displays
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:58:25 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:58:30 PM
Aside from the glass back, it looks very similar to the previous models.

Apple brings True Tone display capability to the iPhone.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:58:49 PM
True Tone is now added in the iPhones. That was in the iPad Pros, adapts color warmth.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:58:57 PM
The new iPhones have new speakers that are 25% louder.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:58:59 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:59:06 PM
Deeper bass on the speakers.

Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:59:15 PM
A11 Bionic chip. (!) what does that mean?
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:59:20 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:59:23 PM
It's the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone, Schiller says.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:59:40 PM
It uses six cores in its CPU.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:59:45 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:59:53 PM
six-core this time, 2 high-performance, 4 power-efficient ones. 70% faster than A10
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:59:59 PM
Two cores for performance, two for high efficiencies.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:00:04 PM
Apple designed GPU.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:00:10 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:00:14 PM
The GPU is designed to accelerate 3D apps and games using Metal 2 framework.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:00:20 PM
It's good for machine learning tasks too.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:00:25 PM

The iPhones have an Apple designed image-signal processor, he says.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:00:51 PM
Apple designed its own GPU for this. Handles machine learning and Core ML. And new ISP for photography, low light autofocus, better pixel processor, noise reduction
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:01:15 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:01:15 PM
The iPhones have a new 12MP sensor that's larger and faster.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:01:24 PM
Has 83% more light and is more power efficient at the same time.
