iOS 12.1 To Be Released on Tuesday With eSIM Support, Carriers Suggests

On Tuesday, October 30th, Apple will hold its final major event of the year during which we expect the renowned tech company to present its new iPad Pro 2018 models and the substitute for the MacBook Air laptop line. However, some carriers suggest that iOS 12.1 would also launch tomorrow, along with the rollout of eSIM support for iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR.

The new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR include a so-called electronic SIM (eSIM) which enables the Dual-SIM functionality of the new iPhone 2018 models. That feature is not available in China where the new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR came out with a standard SIM tray which can house two regular SIM cards.

With the new eSIM functionality present in the upcoming iOS 12.1, the new iPhone 2018 models would be able to use two phone numbers for calls and texts, permitting users to take advantage of different offers.

iOS 12.1 To Be Released on Tuesday With eSIM Support

Even though the eSIM function was not available at the launch of the new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, the feature appeared implemented in the future iOS 12.1 which might come out tomorrow, during the Apple’s last major event of the year. The rumor emerged after some carriers across the United States and Europe announced the availability of eSIM contracts for the iPhone 2018 models starting with Tuesday, October 30th.

“Hey, Nilesh! Please be informed that Esim functionality for iPhone XS Max will be available effective 30-Oct when Apple releases iOS 12.1 Thank you, Anmol P,” said Bharti Airtel India for 9to5Mac.

In this regard, according to 9to5Mac, Apple Stores will get QR code sheets as of Tuesday, October 30th, allowing customers to set up their eSIM by scanning the respective QR codes with their iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. Besides this functionality, iOS 12.1 would also bring many features, including 70 new emojis, Depth Control for iPhone XS/XR, and Group FaceTime, among others.

iPhone XS Vs. iPhone XR – Which One Is Better?

Apple presented its new iPhone 2018 models, the iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and iPhone XS Max, and now many wonder which is better. Today, we’ll debate the iPhone XS and iPhone XR. Let’s see how they compare and which is better.

Both offer almost identical performances

The components of the two new iPhones are practically similar. Both run a Bionic A12 chip of the latest 7 nm technology. However, despite the 1 GB RAM difference between them (with XS boasting 4 GB RAM), the iPhone XR provides a high level of performance thanks to a lower screen resolution.

The SoC A12 boasts 6 CPU cores (two for high performance and four for support), 4 GPU cores and eight cores for the neural part. Apple announced that the new 7-nm A12 chipset shows 50% more power than the A11 chip for the graphics part and 30% higher performance in computing power.

iPhone XR has a higher battery autonomy

The iPhone XR’s battery is the best one among the new iPhone 2018 models. Besides, iPhone XR boasts a Liquid Retina LCD screen which consumes less power than the OLED on the iPhone XS. Its lower resolution allows it to have a greater autonomy of almost 3 hours compared to the XS.

iPhone XS comes with a better camera than iPhone XR

Besides the significant differences at the display level, the other significant difference between the iPhone XR and iPhone XS is the cameras. While the XS comes with a dual camera system on the back, the new iPhone XR boasts only a standard camera.

However, this year, Apple has finally equipped its mid-range iPhone 2018 models with a super wide-angle sensor capable of taking pictures in Portrait mode.

The bottom line

Both iPhone XR and iPhone XS are great smartphones and boast similar technical specs. However, thanks to the dual camera system and the OLED screen, iPhone XS is definitely the best one of these two iPhone 2018 models.
