At Apple's annual iPhone event in Cupertino, California today the company revealed the new iPhone 11.
The phone follows in the footsteps of last year's iPhone XR and notably adds another rear-facing camera and two new colour options - purple and green.
Beyond that, it's rocking the new Apple A13 Bionic chip which is Apple's new mobile processor. Apple says this is the fasted chip in any smartphone.
The company has the same 6.1-inch 1792 x 828 Liquid Retina LCD display that's on the XR. Beyond the new green and purple hue, the phone also comes in the same white, yellow, blue, (Product) RED and black as last year.
Apple is using something called spacial audio to help make the iPhone sound better when you're watching video on it.
The phone is tougher this time around since Apple says it's made out of stronger glass than last year's model.
The dual-camera system includes a new wide camera, and Apple says it can focus much faster than before. Plus, there's an ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view. With the broader lens, Apple has revamped the camera app to hint that users can take wide shots since the edges of the frame are always within view.
You can even use the ultra-wide camera when you're taking video. Speaking of video, Apple has upgraded its stabilization technology to make videos appear more stable.
A new video feature is called 'Quick Take.' When you're in the camera app's photo mode, you can just hold on the shutter button to start shooting video.
Apple is using something called semantic rendering to enable smart HDR, which can determine lighting conditions across many aspects of the picture.
Since there are two cameras, users can take 'Portrait Mode' photos of things other than pictures.
To keep up with Google, Apple has added a 'Night Mode' to the iPhone. There is a large amount of behind the scenes processing to make this happen, but in use, it means that photographers will be able to see way more of the shots they've taken in the dark
The front, TrueDepth camera is now a wider 12-megapixel camera. To switch to the wider angle all you need to do is turn the camera into landscape mode. On top of the wider lens, Apple's added in a slow-motion functionality to the front camera. The company is calling taking these photos "Slofies."
The company boosted the phone's battery life by another hour when compared to the iPhone XR.
The device also features a faster FaceID sensor, Wi-Fi 6 amoung other things.
The phone is slated to cost $699 USD, which is $920 CAD.
More to come...
