News from Apple 🗞
On Tuesday 12th, Apple introduced its newest products: a new Apple TV, an Apple Watch, and three new iPhones.
All three new iPhones, the iPhone 8, the 8 Plus, and the X have an all-glass design, which supports wireless charging. The iPhone X is the company’s tenth iPhone, and it called it ‘the future of the smartphone’.
The phone does not have iPhone’s iconic home button. You do not unlock it with your finger, as it recognises your face instead. In the US it will sell for $999.
The Series 3 Apple Watch now also comes in a model with LTE built in. You can make calls and stream 40 million songs from your wrist. It will also be able to warn you when it recognises a heart problem.
Difficult words: introduce (show people something for the first time), LTE (a 4G mobile communications standard), recognise (identify, measure).

New Discovery in Luxor 🗞
Egyptian scientists discovered a 3,500-year-old tomb. People built it during the 18th dynasty. The tombs are located in the country’s southern city of Luxor.
The tomb belonged to a royal goldsmith, who people identified as Amunhat. Scientists found mummies, pottery and a stela. They also found double statues of the goldsmith, his wife, and one of their sons.
The archaeologists are still working in the tomb, and they think that they are going to find even more. They also hope that this will help Egypt’s tourism.
Difficult words: tomb (a room for mummies), goldsmith (a person who makes gold things and jewellery), pottery (pots, dishes, etc.), funeral stela (an upright piece of stone, which says something about a dead person).
