iPhone has a long and successful run which is not going to dim anytime soon. The positive feedback on iPhones is not because of the premium hardware. In fact, there are several other phones that have similar specs and can give iPhones a run for their services. The key distinction lies in iPhone’s operating system - iOS.
If you look at smartphone platforms, you will realize they are similar, with the same apps and features. There is nothing to make one platform stand out. This is not the case with the iPhone and that is why users love it and detractors detest it. From the very first iPhone, Apple has always ensured that users get the best apps that keep them engaged. The iOS also serves as the foundation for other Apple products, like Apple Watch and Apple TV. iOS also get regular updates and security patches to keep the operating system glitch-free and secure. This is what keeps iPhone lovers glued to their smartphone and they do not have qualms about upgrading to a new iPhone when it is released.
That is why the new iPhone 11 is creating such a buzz. The latest iPhone is expected to be launched in September 2019. While Apple has guarded features and upgrades that the new iPhone 11 may have, the rumor mill is active.
Here are some questions that Apple fans are asking about the iPhone 11 in 2019 as the iPhone mania heats up:
◑ When is the iPhone 11 Launching?
While Apple has not confirmed the launch date of the new iPhone 11, it is anticipated that the smartphone will be launched on September 10, 2019 and be put on sales for consumers on September 22, 2019.
Since these are conjectures, it is hard to say the exact launch date of the phone. However, Apple has been releasing its new iPhone models in September for the last few years. So, it is safe to say that this year too the tech giant will launch its highly anticipated iPhone in September.
◑ What will be the iPhone Look Like?
The rumors about iPhone 11 have been around for quite some time. When it comes to the look and design, Apple device analysts believe that the latest iPhone will look similar to the 2018 iPhone models, namely iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. The only difference would be the three-lens camera system at the rear of the phone. It is also rumored that the three models in 2019 would have a matte glass, making the screen less glossy.
◑ What New Features would iPhone 11 Have?
Conjectures about the features of the iPhone 11 in 2019 have been making headlines for a while now. As a result, the smartphone’s release is highly anticipated. Here are some of the possible features that the new iPhone 11 could have:
① Three-Lens Camera System: Perhaps the most notable change in the new iPhone would be the three-lens camera system at the rear. This system will allow users to zoom out further and thereby enhance the field of view. The sensors in the camera system will click three images at the same time and then artificial intelligence will combine the three images to make it one single image. The phone will also have a video camera to make it like a professional video camera.
② Better Waterproofing: While Apple has made an endeavor to make iPhones more water-resistant over the years, it has proved to be tough because of the charging port. However, the iPhone 11, according to the latest reports, will have better water resistance that could last for more than 30 minutes. This could happen if the design of the Lightning port changes.
③ USB Type C: If Apple wants the new iPhone 11 to be more waterproof, the Lightning port will give way to USB C port, just like the 2018 iPad Pro. Having such a port would allow designers and photographers to connect their iPhone to digital cameras and get high-quality images.
④ iPhone 11 Screen: It is believed that the new iPhone would have the same screen sizes as iPhone release in 2018 which are 5.8in, 6.1in and 6.5in. The new iPhone could also switch from LCD screens to an OLED screen. However, some of the latest conjectures suggest that Apple would prefer to go in for an LCD/OLED mix for its latest iPhone and the screen would be half a millimeter thicker that previous screens.
⑤ iPhone 11 Processor: iPhone has always used its proprietary processors in its phones. The iPhone 11 in 2019 may end up with a new processor chip, namely the A13. It will make the phone fast. In addition, the smartphone will be equipped with a co-processor called AMX or Matrix which will handle heavy tasks, making the smartphone apt for augmented reality.
⑥ Bilateral Charging: This form of charging means that the phone can charge as well as charge other Apple devices. It was first seen in 2018 iPad Pro, which has a large battery capable of getting charged and also charging iPhones. It is quite possible that in 2019, the new iPhone 11 would be able to charge AirPods wirelessly. It also means that the new smartphone from Apple would have a larger battery.
⑦ Enhanced Face ID: A major change that one can expect in the new iPhone 11 is the Face ID. It would be better as it would have the ability to capture a wider field of view, thereby allowing you to unlock the phone while lying on the bed or resting it on a table next to you.
◑ Will the New iPhone 11 be a 5G Phone?
No, the iPhone 11 is not expected to be a 5G phone. Apple had stated that it would be introducing 5G phones in 2020. This delay in introducing 5G iPhones is due to certain issues that arose with the Intel 5G modem. Now, Apple has joined hands with Qualcomm and will be releasing its 5G smartphones in the first half of 2020.
◑ What Will be the Expected Price of iPhone 11?
An educated guess about iPhone 11 price is that it would be the same as 2018 iPhone models, which are priced as follows:
- 64 GB iPhone XS: $999
- 256 GB iPhone XS: $1,149
- 512 GB iPhone XS: $1,349
Apple resorted to high price hikes the last few years. So, it will not try and increase the iPhone 11 price. So, you get expect to buy the latest iPhone at a similar starting price.
