Apple's Next Iphone X Release Could Be the Biggest One Ever

We are in that period again when rumors and news about Apple begin to pop up in every corner of the internet. Even though there has been no official confirmation yet; there is news everywhere that the next iPhone X release could be the biggest one since the start of the iPhone X series.

The $1 trillion company plans to unveil three new versions of the iPhone X soon, according to Bloomberg. The new devices will boast a wider range of prices, sizes, and features that are not present in previous versions.

Bloomberg reported that two of the new devices will be “high-end” X models. It is expected that these two iPhone X’s will feature 6.5-inch displays which will make them the largest ever.

This anticipated release can be compared with the new Samsung device; Galaxy Note 9 which has a 6.4-inch display.

If the rumors are true, then the new iPhone X’s will take the position for the largest phone screen. The new X models will also feature an all-glass back finish with stainless steel edges. There will also be an upgrade on the cameras and they will have dual cameras at the back.

 

More Expectations For Apple’s 2018 iPhone X Lineup

The cameras are not the only features getting upgrades, the inside of the phones will too. The Bloomberg report also suggested that there be an increase in the processing speed of the new models.

One feature that would be really cool, if confirmed by Apple; is the ability to run apps and other content side-by-side.

One of the three new models will also be seen as a replacement for iPhone 8. In terms of price, the said iPhone will be cheaper than the earlier described high-end versions. It will be available in a variety of colors and will possess a 6.1-inch display.

We are not sure exactly what those colors will be but the current version of the iPhone X come in Silver and Space Gray with a 5.8-inch display. However, this model will have an aluminum edge finish and not the stainless steel casing as expected in the other two.

Apple isn’t stopping there, though. Bloomberg said that all the new X models will have a Face ID feature and a gesture-based interface system. The two larger and more expensive versions could also have two SIM card slots.

 

Here Is When Apple’s Next iPhone Will Likely Launch

Apple’s annual unveiling event comes up every September. With August already over, we can expect the announcement anytime soon. If the company’s previous product unveilings are anything to go by, we should look forward to seeing the much-anticipated news in the next few weeks.

Apple recently became a $1 trillion company and has always been the expert when it comes to releasing appealing products to customers. So we can almost certainly expect some high-tech features that have never appeared anywhere else.

Ed Sheeran Acquires 1.4% Minority Stake in Ipswich Town Football Club

The singer’s investment in the club follows their recent promotion to the English Premier League. It’s been over twenty years since they last played in the league.

Having grown up in the area, Ed Sheeran proudly announced his recent acquisition of a 1.4% minority stake in Ipswich Town football club. 

Sheeran, raised in Suffolk, posted on Instagram: “Really excited to announce that I have bought a small percentage of my hometown football club Ipswich Town.”

The investment follows the club’s recent promotion to the Premier League, a division they haven’t played in since 2002. Sheeran still lives in the local area, roughly a half-hour’s drive from the town, and has sponsored the team’s shirts since 2021. 

The singer’s stake in the club will be a passive investment only; he will not sit on the board or be a voting shareholder. However, he will get access to the executive box when attending games.

A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos)

How much is Sheeran’s minority stake worth?

Ipswich Town had been on a downward trajectory for almost two decades, gradually slipping below the top ten teams in the country’s second division. In 2019, they were regulated to the third division, ironically named League One. 

In 2021, Gamechanger 20, a company owned by an Ohio-based investment fund, ORG, purchased a majority stake in the club. The transaction was reportedly worth roughly £40 million at the time. Former owner Marcus Evans lost over £100 million during his 14 years owning Ipswich Town.

After taking over the club and breathing new life into the team, ITFC earned back-to-back promotions, re-entering the Premier League for the first time in over two decades. Gamechanger 20 recently sold a 40% ownership stake to Bright Path Sports Partners in March this year. The £105 million investment put the club’s valuation at roughly £262.5 million.

We don’t know how much Sheeran paid for his share in the club; assuming a valuation close to the one in March, a 1.4% stake could be valued at £3.7 million. Take that with a pinch of salt.

 

Ed’s not the only celebrity investing in football clubs

Sheeran is just one of many celebrities investing in professional football clubs. Last year, Patriots legend Tom Brady purchased a minority stake in Birmingham City Football Club. Rapper Drake and NBA legend LeBron James own minority stakes in AC Milan, and most recently, Kevin Durant acquired 12.5% of PSG.

Those are just minority stake purchases. Let’s not forget Ryan Reynold‘s takeover of Wrexham F.C. and Mindy Kaling‘s 68% ownership of Swansea Football Club.

2. Closest tо the Fifth Hоlе Pin, $100,000

Thе next ѕidе bet came on thе fifth hоlе at Shаdоw Creek, a straight сlоѕеѕt-tо-thе-рin contest fоr $100,000. Miсkеlѕоn wоn, аllоwing him tо rесоuр half оf the previous bеt’ѕ lоѕѕ.

5. Clоѕеѕt tо thе Thirtееnth Hоlе Pin, $300,000
