20:43:06<\/strong><\/p>

On to the HomePod. The AirPlay 2 feature allows pairing two home pods to create an immersive stereo field.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:38:17<\/strong><\/p>

So the XS will be probably an expensive piece of phone as well according to the tech specs.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:35:08<\/strong><\/p>

And now the product video…<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:34:39<\/strong><\/p>

20:32:51<\/strong><\/p>

Oh but you will be able to regulate the Bokeh effect strength as well as with the XS. Nice!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:32:11<\/strong><\/p>

So despite the missing Dual camera, the single camera lens will feature the main unit from the iPhone XS and still be able to reproduce a cool Bokeh effect using complex algorithms.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:30:49<\/strong><\/p>

but it’ll feature all technology the iPhone XS features.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:30:08<\/strong><\/p>

The display however won’t feature 3DTouch gestures!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

20:23:30<\/strong><\/p>

Main focus is the long-life of the devices. So what does that mean. Do we face longer support cycles now?<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:22:18<\/strong><\/p>

Some words about environmental aspects.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

20:17:38<\/strong><\/p>
