Apple iPhone 11 launched (Apple)

The much-anticipated, yearly-refresh to the most important smartphone lineup on the planet has arrived: The iPhone 11 is official. The Cupertino-headquartered firm today unveiled new smartphones — iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max — at its Special Event in Cupertino, California. The three smartphones, upgrades over the last year’s iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, will ship with the iOS 13, the latest mobile operating system from Apple, faster and more capable processor and perhaps more importantly, much-improved camera capabilities.

Apple iPhone 11 price starts at $699 (Rs 50,244). Apple iPhone 11 Pro starts at $999 while iPhone 11 Pro Max starts at $1,099. Apple iPhone XR price has been reduced to $599 (for the base model).

Apple’s latest lineup retains most of the look and feel but come with some glaring changes. The square camera module on the back panel on the iPhone 11 Pro model is a major design change in the iPhone’s evolution. The module is there to accommodate an additional camera sensor. It needs to be pointed out, however, that many Android smartphone vendors have offered three or more cameras and managed to cram them up in a slimmer vertical stack. Interestingly enough, Google Pixel 4, the upcoming Android smartphone from Google, is also confirmed to have the controversial camera module on the back.

Other than the camera module, Apple’s iPhone 11 series has refined front and overall form factor.

No 5G

Conspicuously missing from the current the features set of new iPhone is 5G. A handful of smartphones in recent quarters have launched with support for 5G, but Apple is known to not jump the gun on futuristic technologies that are not ready. You see, first of all, most telecom operators are currently not offering 5G, rendering support of such technology on your phone useless. But also, supporting 5G would have meant a significant dent on the battery life of iPhones. And it is clear that Apple believes that time is not right for 5G yet.
