iPhone 9 reportedly enters trial production, could be launched in March

Apple is said to have begun trial production of the iPhone 8 successor, the iPhone 9. The relatively inexpensive iPhone could be launched in March, this year. The iPhone 9 could come with fewer bezels, Face ID support and a 5.4-inch display. A new report claims that the upcoming iPhone has entered trial production.

According to a report from MyDrivers, "Apple has finally started trial production of the highly anticipated iPhone 9. This process will be used to iron out any issues and ensure assembly lines are running smoothly.” 

Phonearena reports that Apple has started trial production of the highly anticipated iPhone 9. If everything goes according to plan, Apple is expected to start full mass production in mid-February, giving the company around six weeks to stock devices, ahead of the smartphone’s official introduction in March.

The iPhone 9 could come with Touch ID support with a design almost identical to the iPhone 8. The leaked image of the alleged iPhone SE showed large bezels with a home button. The rumoured handset is said to feature a 5.4-inch display, all housed in a case that is close to the size of the iPhone 8. This means that the handset may sport minimal bezels with a notch for Face ID. The iPhone 9 may sport a “much bigger” camera compared to iPhone 8. 

The iPhone 9 could be launched alongside the iPad Pro in March. The next iPad is tipped to come with A13X Bionic processor and an advanced triple-camera setup on the back that incorporates an entirely new 3D sensing system.

Oppo teases the first look of its upcoming smartwatch

Oppo’s smartwatch was first teased during Oppo’s Inno Day back in December. It talked about topics such as it's plans for 5G, its breakthrough technologies, and future devices such as smartwatches, smart earbuds, and even the announcement of AR glasses. Now, a company official has shared live images of the smartwatch. 

The Oppo Vice President, Brian Shen has taken to Chinese social media platform Weibo to share the first image of the company’s upcoming smartwatch. The wearable will have a square screen with curved edges and two buttons on the side. The official has refrained from giving out details regarding the name of the Oppo smartwatch or its key specs and features. However, he does note that the smartwatch will sport a flexible display with curved edges. The device can be seen sporting metal edges in gold and a cream silicone strap.  Shen says it could possibly be the ‘best looking smartwatch to launch this year'. 

 While the Oppo smartwatch bears strong resemblance to the Apple Watch, instead of one crown, it has two keys with a hole in between them. It could be a microphone, which could let users talk to their Oppo smartwatch without needing the smartphone. The wearable device is rumoured to come with ECG support. 

At Inno Day, the company showed a teaser for the upcoming smartwatch and smart true wireless earphone, which revealed a square display for the watch. On the other hand, the truly wireless earphones resembled the Apple Airpods. Both these devices are scheduled to launch in Q1 2020.
