Take Apple's guided tour of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR
In case it slipped your mind, today is the release date for the 5.8-inch Apple iPhone XS and 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. The iPhone XR, with its 6.1-inch LCD display, will launch on October 26th. Today, Apple posted an official guided tour video of its new handsets. For many iPhone users, this will be the first model they've owned that doesn't have a home button, so the first thing to learn is that to go "home," swipe up from the bottom.
Everything that required a fingerprint scan with Touch ID can use Face ID, including verifying your identity for Apple Pay. And with Depth Control, you can add the bokeh effect to portraits even after the picture has been processed. It is up to you to determine how blurry you want the background to be. The video also discusses something new to the iPhone: dual-SIM capabilities.
Other new features include Memoji, which are animated and cartoonish versions of your face moving in real time with your facial expressions. And don't forget Group FaceTime, which allows as many as 32 people to video chat at once. This was delayed by Apple, but recently returned with the developer and public betas of iOS 12.1, so it shouldn't be too long before this becomes a feature that even non-beta testers can enjoy.
