The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will arrive in several additional countries on October 26th and November 2nd.
Apple says its new iPhone models will be available in Chile, Colombia, Malaysia, and Thailand on October 26th. Pre-orders are starting this Friday, October 19th.
The company has also stated that come November 2nd, the new handsets “will be available to customers in South Korea and more than 10 additional countries and territories.”
Sometimes you have to acknowledge a good idea, even if it’s from one of your competitors.
This is the core point in an excellent article written by TechCrunch’s Sarah Perez, in which she points out that Google’s new Pixel 3 flagship Android smartphone is the first to introduce a new call screening feature that leverages the built-in Google Assistant. The screening service transcribes the caller’s request in real-time, allowing you to decide whether or not to pick up, and offers a way to respond.
The updated Call Screen feature came as a surprise during the company’s hardware event yesterday, even if the new Duplex and Group Selfie features managed to wrangle a fair amount of attention away from Call Screen.
Following last week’s announcement of Apple’s September 12th media event, some marketing images of the upcoming iPhone Xs and Apple Watch Series 4 were leaked.
The images reveal what is apparently a higher resolution display for the Apple Watch Series 4, or at least for the 42mm version of the device.
Given information found in the latest watchOS 5 beta, that the resolution will be 384×480. For comparison, the resolution on the current 42mm Apple Watch Series 3 is 312×390. Apple is going to achieve this significantly higher resolution by reducing the size of the bezels and making the screen a little bit larger. This new device will also probably feature a higher PPI, which also contributes to the higher resolution.
If you’ve been having trouble with your iPhone 8, this might be what you’re looking for.
Late last week, Apple quietly launched an iPhone 8 Logic Board Replacement Program. The program addresses specific models produced between September 2017 and March 2018, and includes free repair and logic board replacement.

Apple has apparently accidentally leaked images of both its upcoming “iPhone XS” and Apple Watch Series 4 models ahead of its just-announced media event on September 12th.
The Apple Watch Series 4 models seems to feature smaller bezels for more visible screen space, which allows for new complications arranged in a round configuration.
This also jibes with recent rumors of larger displays that have been circulating as well.
