If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few days then you probably know that Apple has recently announced their latest iPhones. On 12 Sept, two days ago, Apple held a conference at Steve Jobs theatre in Cupertino. In the conference, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook introduced three new iPhones, namely, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and iPhone Xr. Apart from the new phones Apple also announced a new Apple watch Series 4. The new iPhones have been met with mixed sentiments, some claim that the new phones don’t offer any substantial improvements over last year’s iPhone X, however, that is for the consumer to decide. Coming to today’s topic, the iPhone Xs that was announced among the three new phones has two different models, A1920 and A1921 respectively.
