The world awaits eagerly for September to arrive as it is quite familiar with Apple’s trademark ritual of unveiling the most-awaited, latest Apple gadgets at an elaborate special event. Apple didn’t disappoint its extensive fan-following, and this Cupertino-based company lived up to its hype by releasing its new iPhones, Apple Watch Series 4, and the next generation iPad Pro at the Steve Jobs Theater, Apple Park on September 12th, 2018.

The latest iPhones that were released at this event are upgraded versions of the iPhone X that was released last year. Though people are still in awe of the iPhone X, the various iPhone X variants—the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR—have already appealed to the crowd’s sensibility with their incredible slimmed-down design, amazing camera, vibrant color variants, and affordability! The iPhone XS and XS Max are still the leading contenders in the “costliest iPhones race,” but the iPhone XR was crafted with the intention of combining all the incredible features privy to iPhones with cost efficiency.

If these latest iPhones have made a lasting impression on you, and you wish to learn more details of these amazing phones before you decide to ditch your old phone and sport either of these variants of the latest iPhone X, keep reading.

Fetching design: Let’s get this straight, all iPhones have similar designs, and the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR follow suit. However, what sets them apart from the previous iPhones is that these phones are lighter, slimmed-down versions of their predecessors. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR don surgical-grade stainless steel, which is engineered by using a special Apple-designed alloy which creates structural bands in three finishes. Moreover, the gold and space grey finishes that the iPhone XS and XS Max sport are reflective and seamlessly complement the glass surface. The iPhone XR, the “bargain” phone in the iPhone lot, has deep, rich colors, and offers more color variants such as blue, white, black, yellow, coral, and red to its prospective users.

Awe-inspiring display: Apple knows how to keep its fanbase hooked; the iPhone XS and XS Max boast of a 5.8” and 6.5” Super Retina custom OLED HD display, respectively; whereas, the iPhone XR flaunts a 6.1” Liquid Retina HD display. The only hiccups you’ll experience here is that Apple deprives its affordable iPhone of flaunting an OLED display. The iPhone XS and XS Max have an amazing 2436×1125 and 2699×1242 resolution, whereas, the iPhone XR has a resolution of 1792×828. The Super Retina ensures that you’ll have a beautiful and magnificent canvas at your disposal, and the custom-built OLED panels allow you to make the most of the HDR display as they enhance the viewing experience. The iPhone XR’s all-new Liquid Retina allows the display to stretch seamlessly to the corners and flaunts the largest LCD screen on any iPhone ever.

Powerful cameras: Photographers and selfie lovers across the world can now rejoice; the latest iPhones XS and XS Max have taken photography a notch up by allowing you to make the most of the dual 12MP wide-angle and telephoto cameras equipped with Bokeh and Depth Control. The enhanced portrait mode will give you perfect candid pictures. Moreover, you wouldn’t have to fret anymore about clicking pictures in low light, as the powerful camera sensor features deeper, larger pixels that have the ability to improve the image fidelity. So, now, you can click amazing low-light photos without further ado. The iPhone XR camera is equipped with all the major camera functions of its more expensive counterparts, but the only setback this bargain phone experiences is the lack of dual wide-angle and telephoto cameras.

The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR are equipped with a 7MP TrueDepth front camera and this system has the ability to capture 3D information for Face ID authentication and Animoji. The front camera also features 1080p HD video recording, a wide color capture, Retina Flash, and a f/2.2 aperture. So, dear selfie lovers, you can now rejoice!

Your face is the Key to the latest iPhones: The iPhone XS, SX Max, and XR are equipped with the Face ID, but didn’t the other iPhones have this feature as well? Well, the newest iPhones boast of a reinvented Face ID feature that includes some of the most sophisticated Apple technologies like the TrueDepth camera system, Neural Engine, and the Secure Enclave. All these factors, when combined together, offer the most secure facial authentication a smartphone can ever have!

The astute A12 Bionic: The latest iPhones will be hailed for its sensational performance, and the credit can be attributed to the smartest and most powerful chip that can be used in a smartphone. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR are equipped with the A12 Bionic chip which introduces its user to a completely new level of intelligence. This chip has the ability to use real-time machine learning to change the way you’ll experience gaming, photos, augmented reality, and more. You will feel the screen coming alive!

Prices: There’s no secret that iPhones are high-end phones that offer high-end technology. The iPhones XS and XS Max follow the trail of its predecessors and continue to remain the pricy phones that they are. The iPhone XS 64GB is priced at around $999, 256GB at around $1,149, and 512GB costs around $1,349; the iPhone XS Max 64GB costs around $1,099, 256GB for around $1,149, and 512GB costs around 1,449; and, the iPhone XR, which is the “bargain” phone in this lot costs around $749 for the 64GB variant, $799 for 128GB, and $899 for 256GB.

With the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Apple has once again sent the crowd in a frenzy, and this time it has widened its audience by appealing to the sensibilities of those prospective customers who wished for a more affordable iPhone.

Taking out a second loan using property that one owns is now seeing a comeback of sorts in the Country, with equity business loans offering borrowers more tax benefits and lower rates of interest than credit card debts.

The loan that will be offered to you will be calculated on loan to value ratio that is based on the value of your property, how much of it is wholly paid for and how much you still owe to the bank. For instance, if you own property worth US$3,00,000 of which you still owe US$ 2,00,000, you have US$ 1,00,000 as equity which may be used to secure the equity loan. You could use this top up loan as a business loan or carry out repairs or restructuring of your house or to meet any other financial situation as the case may be. When you have a loan to value ratio that is 75% or more, then your request for an equity loan is more likely to be accepted and processed.

There are two kinds of equity loan options.

The first is the standard home equity loan in which you borrow a certain sum of money against your property which is used to secure the loan.

Another kind of equity loan is called HELOC, which is Home Equity Line of Credit. Under this kind of equity loan, the lender or bank may permit you to borrow small sums of money as and when you require it up to a certain fixed ceiling. You have an obligation to pay interest only on the sum you have borrowed.

Depending on whether you need a large sum of money in one shot or whether your venture requires you to pump in smaller sums of money over a period, you could opt for either kind of equity or business loan.

However, although equity loans do offer your line of credit at relatively low-interest rates, you must remember that your property is still at risk of confiscating in the eventuality that you fail to make the payments.

So, think wisely before you go in for equity or a business loan, which remains a liability until paid off in full.

Obesity has always remained a health hazard, but it had not received the kind of attention, it does now. Perhaps, the advent of the electronic era brought with it certain ills like being glued to a video game or such indoor activities that left even the children gaining weight beyond the prescribed standard.

It is also true that the overall eating habits underwent changes and what are dubbed junk foods have become a norm rather than an exception. The result is bloated midriff and then the madness to get rid of the excess fat, spending hard earned dollars on membership in a fitness center or some such thing. If you have still not reached that stage, it is better to know the foods to stop bloating and switch to consuming them regularly. Here are some suggestions.

Rice: The reason rice is being recommended by experts is because it digests faster and does not leave any gas in the gut. Many food items you otherwise eat have this issue of indigestion. So try rice in some form to replace the starchy items you are eating like corn and potatoes.

Make it more vegetable-based: Greens like celery, cucumber and parsley make for some wonderful foods to stop bloating. For one, most of these are rich in fiber content and act towards detoxing the system and many toxins can be purged from your body. However, the suggestion here is to eat most of them cooked instead of raw.

Bananas: Every list you check out on the suggested items of food for reducing body fat or bloat will invariably have some common entries and the humble banana is one of them. One of the major reasons for recommending bananas is that it is rich in potassium. The general consensus is that the type of food one consumes, particularly in restaurants, is high on sodium and one needs to balance out that by eating bananas. This ensures the overall potassium-sodium balance is maintained in the body.

Yoghurt: This is another item that is always included in the foods to stop bloating. However, you should be careful in choosing the right kind of yoghurt. The most preferred from the point of view of losing a few ounces or at least to avoid bloating is the plain yoghurt, which is trans-fat free.

Some other suggestions
There are a number of other food items that are good for maintaining a healthy body and to not succumb to gaining girth. These include green or herbal tea, fruits like melons, ginger, turmeric, and lemon juice. More than what you can and should consume, there is really a long list of things you should avoid eating and that too very frequently. In addition, regular exercising is always recommended to everyone; young, old, male and female. This ensures that the person stays physically and mentally fit and active throughout the day and gets a good night’s sleep. All this is also needed to stay fit and trim and not put on weight.

Buying a hearing aid may feel expensive on the onset but is a worthwhile investment to improve your quality of life. A good hearing aid can cost an average of $1000 each. One of the biggest reasons for high hearing aid prices is because each hearing aid must be custom fitted to the patient’s ear. It is interesting to note that no two people have the same ear canal size. In most cases a person’s right and left ear canal also has different sizes. If the hearing aid does not fit right, ambient noise can enter the ear and distract from the sound you actually want to hear.

Another major reason for the high cost of hearing aids is the amount of research and development going into hearing aids. These small devices are constantly being improved and upgraded inn terms off sound frequencies they can address, ambient noise reduction etc.

Other features that influence the hearing aid prices are:

• Channels and bands available: As the number of channels and bands increases on your hearing aid, so does the cost. This is because settings need to be customized for each frequency range.

• Noise reduction: If ambient noise like wind, traffic etc can make following a conversation difficult for people with good hearing, imagine what it will do to someone with hearing loss. Hence, some hearing aids also have noise cancellation features that keep it from absorbing and amplifying surrounding sounds. Some hearing aids also have speech recognition built into the devices to make conversing easier.

• Wireless Compatibility: People with hearing loss have trouble not only listening to people talk but also when watching television, listening to music or using the phone. Hence, hearing aids are now being made such that they can be wireless to be connected to the television, music system, phone etc.

• Batteries: The smaller the hearing aid, the smaller the battery and the shorter it’s lifespan. Hence, in many cases hearing aid prices include rechargeable batteries or include multiple sets of batteries within the cost. Rechargeable can make maintaining a hearing aid easier as they do not need to be frequently changed.

• Variable Programing: A hearing aid can be customized to have different settings in different environments. For example, at a party, you may need the hearing aid to reduce ambient noise and amplify conversations while when you’re in the park, you may want to enjoy the ambient sounds themselves. They can also be programmed to amplify sounds at varying volumes depending on your needs and the task at hand.

• Synchronization: Hearing aids can be used on one ear or both ears simultaneously. In cases where you need a hearing aid for both ears, it is essential for both of them to function together and in sync with each other. For example, adjusting the volume control son one hearing aid should have an effect on the other as well without needing any manual input.
