What's new in the iPhone 11
Under the hood, the iPhone 11 is powered by Apple's new A13 Bionic chip, which the company claims is the iPhone's fastest processor yet, and is significantly faster than any Android processor chip. It features machine-learning capabilities, which is useful for tasks like computational photography, which uses artificial intelligence to improve the quality of your photos as they're taken.
Battery life is also improved, with the phone lasting about an hour longer on a single charge than the older iPhone XR, and about four hours longer than the iPhone XS.
The camera system is the most noticeable update, though. There's now a pair of lenses on the rear of the phone which deliver both wide-angle and ultra-wide angle photography, along with a new night mode, similar to what's already available on some Android models.
Apple promises that the new Smart HDR mode takes better HDR photos, with improved skin tone fidelity in photos that include people. In other words, all your selfies will look much sharper.
Then iPhone 11 captures 4K video at 60 fps. Then front camera has also been updated to 12 megapixels, with a new slow-motion selfie mode, which Apple has dubbed a "slofie mode," and the ability to shoot in wide angle from the front as well as the rear.
You can choose from a half-dozen colors, including black, green, yellow, purple, red, and white.
When the iPhone 11 will be released
The iPhone 11 will be available for pre-order starting on Friday, September 13, 2019 at 5 AM PDT, and will be available for sale on Friday, September 20, 2019, both online and in Apple stores.
