Final Rumours On iPhone 11 Before September 10 D-Day [PHOTOS]

Before the September 10 announcement d-day, there are some rumours about the new series of iPhone 11 and we would like to finalize on them.

Apple is expected to launch three new iPhone models in 2019, similar to last year’s lineup. This year’s iPhone XS, XS Max sequels are rumoured to be called the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, adding yet another element to Apple’s already complicated naming scheme. The cheaper iPhone XR sequel, on the other hand, is set to be called the iPhone 11, with no additional letters, numbers or Roman numerals.

In terms of design, the three phones will apparently look almost identical to the 2018 lineup, at least from the front. The 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are said to have 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED screens, while the 11 will have a 6.1-inch LCD screen with the same size notch at the top on all three models. Many of Apple’s competitors, including Samsung, have eliminated the notch.

What may improve on these models is the TrueDepth camera array inside the notch. A recent Bloomberg report suggests the phones will have an improved version of Face ID, capable of capturing a wider field of view.

The inside of the camera square, however, is rumored to be the same color as the rest of the phone, making it slightly less jarring, and it will lie nearly flush with the back of the phone. According to the rumors, the entire back of the phone, including the camera, will be carved out of the same piece.

The phones would also get a new software feature that would allow them to expand the frame of the photo even after the shot has been taken, adding in more information. They’re also rumored to have some kind of low-light or night mode similar to the Night Sight feature on Google’s Pixel 3.

The iPhone XR sequel is also rumored to get a new paint job this year, adding new green and lilac options to its already colorful offering. And the new Pro models may debut a matte glass finish on the back. They may also ditch the iPhone logo at the bottom of the phones and just keep the Apple.

According to Bloomberg’s report, the glass on the new iPhones will be a lot tougher to crack with “new shatter-resistance technology” as well as better water resistance. The older models were already rated to survive a good amount of water exposure and are rated iP68.

Under the hood, we’re expecting incremental upgrades to the processor: a new A13 chip with a faster coprocessor, and the latest version of Apple’s mobile software, iOS 13.

Apple’s also rumored to be eliminating 3D Touch in the 2019 iPhones. They would still retain some of the same 3D Touch functionality as their predecessors, but it will be more of a haptic touch like what Apple did on last year’s iPhone XR. And at least one of the three models (likely the Max) would be compatible with the Apple Pencil, Apple’s stylus.

The 2019 iPhones will also have larger batteries, which combined with a more efficient processor could signal significantly longer battery life. They’re also rumored to have a reverse wireless charging feature like the Galaxy S10 and Note 10, which would allow you to charge other Apple devices such as the AirPods (with the wireless charging case). And this could be the year Apple includes a fast charger in the box. Despite having fast-charging capabilities, the current models only include a standard 5-watt USB power adaptor and USB-to-Lightning cable in the box.

Pricing on the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will likely be in line with last year’s models. Preorders should open the Friday after the event (Sept. 13), with the phones arriving in stores and in the mail the following Friday, Sept. 20.

All these rumors leave little to the imagination, but there is still a chance some of these may be off and that Apple will find a way to surprise us with a few unexpected features at the launch event.
