Apple had their annual Event on the 10th of September 2019, where they release most of their new hardware, such as iPad’s, Apple watch, etc. The section of the event we generally stay glued to the stream is about their new line of iPhones.
After weeks of surprisingly quite accurate leaks, which i’m not sure if Apple leaked themselves, there were very few surprises.
The new iPhone is named iPhone 11, clean and simple and not as confusing on what to call it, 10 or x.
So this variant has a lot of similarities to it’s earlier cousins, but the new colors available are quite cool.
Do take note that the iPhone 11 is a successor to the XR, so it is now the current budget offering in the new lineup.
The iPhone 11 has the same 6.1 inch LCD display as the XR and is also the same low resolution as before at 1792×828, with no support for HDR and a max brightness of 625 nits.
A new addition is the dual camera setup at the back, which are both 12 megapixels , with one being a wide angle and the other an ultra wide angle camera.
The front has a 12 megapixel truedepth camera.
The wide angle sensor has an aperture of f1.8 and the ultra wide sensor has an aperture of f2.4.
OIS is present in the camera , a 2x optical zoom and digital zoom upto 5x. The optical zoom of 2X is quite low, but at least the feature is present.
Night mode is also present on the iPhone 11, raising up to the challenge against pixel phones.
The processor also is the new brand spanking A13 chip, and storage options are from 64 to 256 all the way to 512 GB internal. The phone also supports dual sim.
This wasn’t the only iPhone released. We also had a new Pro version of the iPhone 11, and it didn’t stop there, also released was a Max version.
With capacities upto 512 GB on both variants and the processor also being the same, the main diffentiator is size.
The iPhone Pro has a 5.8 inch screen vs the 6.5 on the iPhone Pro Max.
