Rumors indicate that three new iPhone
models could be announced next week.
Apple is widely expected to announce
the iPhone
11 at next Wednesday's event on 10 September.
Rumors, of course, are circulating
leading up to the event, with whisperings that three new iPhone
models will be announced. Here is a roundup of the hottest rumors and
the biggest leaks.
Three new flagship models expected
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone
11, iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. In fact, yesterday
images, that are believed to show the final products, were leaked.
If one thing is for sure, it's that
Apple's naming scheme is becoming increasingly difficult to follow.
As per CNET,
the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are the expected names for
the successors of the XS and the XS Max. The vanilla iPhone 11, on
the other hand, will be the successor to the cheaper iPhone XR.
iPhone 11 specs
The 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are rumored
to be announced with 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED screens, while the 11
will likely have a 6.1-inch LCD screen. The phones are said to
include the top notch on the screen.
According to 9to5Mac,
the new models will contain a new type of Taptic Engine. While it is
not completely clear what this will improve, it is possible it is
tailored towards improving Haptic Touch, as the current form of 3D
touch is being replaced via an iOS update.
According to Bloomberg,
the phone will also include "new shatter-resistance technology,"
making it much more durable.
Wide-angle photography
Even at the iPhone's original unveiling
in 2007, the camera was a prominent feature, drawing applause from
the audience.
Updates have consistently provided
improvements, and more are likely to come for the iPhone 11 models.
As Bloomberg reports, the iPhone
XS and iPhone
XS Max will have three rear cameras, while the XR successor
will have two. The third camera will have an ultra-wide-angle lens
that will allow for larger, more detailed photos. It will also allow
more zoom capability.
Even more devices
As 9to5Mac reports, Apple's flagship
mobile phones only make up about half of Apple's total phone sales
volume. Older and cheaper models, as well as Apple watches, also make
up an important part of its business.
Apple is expected to release a new
low-cost model this year to fight its recent decline in sales,
according to Nikkei.
The company will reportedly launch a new 4.7-inch iPhone in the
spring of 2020 as a successor to the iPhone SE.
As MacRumors
points out, Apple has registered four new models of the Apple Watch
with the Eurasian Economic Commission. Few rumors have come out about
this though, so we'll have to wait and see.
While many rumors look like they've
practically been verified, and the leaks might be real, we'll only
find out for sure at Apple's
special event on 10 September, announced with the slogan
"innovations only."
