Apple iPhone 11 smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

The presentation of a brand new smartphone from Apple Corporation is an invariably great event in the world of mobile electronics. This year the firm will release another premium device. Today it is known that the unannounced smartphone will be called the iPhone 11 or iPhone XI.

What is the name of?

Recently, there is such an impression that the "apple" corporation itself got lost in the names of its own devices. The company presented the iPhone 9, and then completely decided not to use Arabic characters in the names and showed the world the iPhone XS. Due to such unusual decisions of the corporation, it is now reliably clear what exactly Apple will name the new device. At the moment, there are 2 maximum possible and fairly normal sounding options.

The company may give a name to the new iPhone 11, thus rolling back to a more classic name that has been in use for ten years. In addition, there are opinions that Apple will again experiment with Roman characters in the names and will name the new flagship iPhone XI. For today, to make it simpler and clearer, we will call the new product Apple iPhone 11, but it should not be ruled out that the “apple” corporation will invent something absolutely “fresh”.

It should be noted that now the leading experts in the field of analytics, as well as insiders, did not comment on the reliable name of the new product. They also symbolically call the device iPhone 11 or iPhone XI.

In runet, in order to determine the new product, they began to use the name iPhone 2019.

Last month, new discussion information was "leaked" to the Network, which partly relate to the names of the new items. Someone "employee of the Chinese company Foxconn" said that the back will no longer have the inscription "iPhone". If this is indeed the case, then this is clearly an incomprehensible move, since along with the personal logo, this very inscription serves in some way as a specific side of the corporation's devices. Apple is unlikely to decide to get rid of it. On the other hand, the Home key also served as an integral part of the iPhone, but in 2017 it was changed to gestures in the X model.

Prototypes of the new iPhone 2019

This year, insiders decided to destroy the intrigue as early as possible. In early 2019, the prestigious On Leaks insider posted photos of two official samples of the novelty.

Insider's sources were able to find CAD designs of samples that exposed the key innovations of the device.

Prototype # 1

It has a traditional, if we talk about past Apple smartphones, a body form factor, a significantly reduced frame (top) and a triple camera. The system, consisting of three camera modules, is placed in the form of a triangle on a rather large platform in the form of a square, which rises above the body.

This appearance of the novelty did not immediately appeal to fans of "apple" products, but the survey, which ended at the end of January, showed that the design of the phone is quite attractive and exclusive, in all the traditions of the company.

This point of view is not shared by most of the users, but there was no massive criticism of this performance.

Prototype # 2

It has the same body form factor, an identical shortened bezel (top) and a similar triple camera, but placed vertically in the center of the rear of the body. The design of this sample of the novelty also did not win the hearts of the fans of the line. The appearance of the sample was nicknamed "similar to Android", and the smartphone itself was jokingly called, of course, "Cyclops".

It is likely that the company has abandoned this performance. This assumption is reasoned and relatively recent video, where Slashleaks insiders demonstrated a functioning novelty. There are other reasons as well. In July, the developments of new covers from various manufacturers were "leaked" to the Network. The pictures substantiated the above information - the new iPhone 11 has a built-in camera on top (in the left corner) on the back cover.

On the front side, the device has practically not undergone any modifications when compared with last year's models - there is the same "monobrow" with a front camera and sensors in order to identify the owner by face, as well as other functions. It is worth noting that, as a rule, among the manufacturers of accessories there are always “their own people” in the chain of Apple corporation contractors who “leak” secret information. It is for this reason that leaks are most often confirmed.

Basic technical characteristics

Screen

The novelty is equipped with an OLED-type screen - there will be no return to the liquid crystal display 100%. The diagonal of the screen of the novelty is 6.1 inches, and the resolution is 1792x828 px. The OLED display is promised to be made using Y-OCTA technology. It makes it possible to embed the touchscreen directly into the screen panel and reduce the dimensions of the elements. The technology was manufactured by Samsung, in connection with which it is not yet clear whether Apple will use it.

The screen of the novelty can, in addition, get the support of the corporate stylus. Representatives of the manufacturer of covers for the novelty, namely the company Olixar, spoke about this.

This is hard to believe, since S. Jobs was a fierce enemy of stylus and during the demonstration of the first iPhone he joked about it. On the other hand, in the Chinese market, and in most others, such a function would become in demand. And now - 100% reliable information! "Monobrow" will definitely be. In addition, its dimensions will not change due to the installation of a new "front camera" and the improvement of the identification system. Apple does not plan to give up the "monobrow" in the new product, for example, to make a hole in the screen to install the front camera, as is now done by manufacturers of mobile devices based on Android.

About this said the insider Ice Universe, who noted that the company will abandon the "monobrow" in iPhones only after a couple of years.

The screen of the novelty will receive an extended refresh rate, which is a key and really strong innovation. In menus and programs, the display will operate at 90 Hz. The picture has become much smoother, which is immediately noticeable. In games, the screen refresh rate will be increased to 120Hz for an incredibly smooth and crisp gaming experience.

Housing

iPhone XI is made of glass materials, which, by the way, is much more reliable when compared with previous models, as analysts from Bloomberg say. The back cover will be made of special-purpose frosted glass materials, which will provide excellent resistance to damage to the model.

In addition, the new material made it possible to protect the smartphone from moisture as efficiently as possible. The device is capable of withstanding immersion for a longer period when compared to the iPhone XS. Color information for this year's flagship device is still lacking. Most likely, the corporation will leave 6 color schemes:

1. The black.
2. Green.
3. Yellow.
4. Purple.
5. Red.
6. White.

Performance and memory

There is very little reliable information about the "hardware" of the novelty today. The device will definitely get a system based on the proprietary A13 chip, made using a 7nm process technology.How many cores it will have and at what frequency they will function is not clear.

The manufacturer of processors for the novelty remains the firm TSMC from Taiwan. By the way, since 2016 she has been the exclusive contractor of these constituent elements. The amount of RAM is also hidden. It should be noted that in addition to the main thing, the new product will also have an auxiliary chip. He, according to the leaks, will be responsible for computer vision and VR functions.

Charger and battery

The corporation promises to increase battery capacity this year. If you believe the relatively recent statements of DigiTimes, the new product will have a battery with a capacity of 3,110 mAh. It will not be superfluous to recall that the battery capacity of the iPhone XS is 2,658 mAh. Most likely, the novelty will function much longer on a single charge.

Similar values ​​were published in February by respected insider Ming-Chi Kuo. According to him, this year Apple will supplement the new product with the ability to recharge various devices that support the Qi standard. For example, if the need arises, the user can charge another device or the Air Pods headset.

In addition, the company promises, finally, to put in the kit of the new 18-watt charger, as well as a USB-C to Lightning adapter. Who does not know, users have been complaining for a long time about the weak chargers that come with iPhones. In addition, the corporation has been producing laptops without full USB slots for a long time. In general, the novelty will also restore the charge faster by wireless method.

Cameras

This year's novelty has got new cameras. From the standpoint of analysts, the "apple" corporation hopes for them very much, since it is the cameras that should lure consumers.

The novelty was equipped with a triple camera, which consists of a 12 MP wide-angle module, a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle unit and a 12 MP telephoto lens.

The premium smartphone now captures better photos at night, has a triple optical type zoom and can correct and improve pictures and videos in real time using AI. The developers have also significantly improved the front cameras of the novelty. This model has a 12MP selfie camera that can take great photos and record videos in slo-mo mode at 120 FPS.

As mentioned above, the Face ID recognition system has also undergone transformations, which is now able to identify the owner from different angles.

Connectors

This year, the novelty is still using the Lightning port to restore charge, transfer information and connect a wired headset. Standardization in this aspect is not foreseen, despite the fact that USB-C is already used in MacBook and iPad Pro. Most likely, the corporation will abandon the Lightning port after a year.

When will they show?

The iPhone XI demonstration date is set for 09/10/2019.

Experts say that Apple will show the new product at its traditional time. By the way, the company's last fall demonstrations were scheduled for:

• IPhone XS presentation in 2018 - 09/12;
• IPhone 8 presentation in 2017 - 09/12;
• IPhone 7 presentation in 2016 - 07.09;
• IPhone 6s presentation in 2015 - 09.09;
• IPhone 6 presentation in 2014 - 09.09;
• IPhone 5s presentation in 2013 - 09/10;
• Presentation of iPhone 5 in 2012 - 12.09.

When released?

The beginning of the implementation of the novelty starts approximately 10 days after the demonstration. It is not uncommon for Apple to start sales on Friday. If the demonstration of the novelty occurs on 09/10/2019, then, probably, the opening of sales of the new smartphone will be scheduled for 09/20/2019.

It's pretty clear that the new iPhone 2019 will hit the markets with iOS 13.

How much is?

The most interesting point is the cost of a smartphone.

At the beginning of the year, analysts at Wedbush predicted the new iPhone would be more affordable than its previous siblings. From the point of view of specialists, Apple will reduce the cost of the device due to a significant reduction in sales of the iPhone XS due to its overpriced.

Experts argue that it is only in this way that Apple has the opportunity to get out of the established tipping point.One way or another, one should not expect a significant reduction in the cost of new items. The company is able to reduce the cost of the device by about $ 100, according to experts.

In addition, the corporation can reduce the big difference in cost between smartphones with different memory options. If the scenario turns out to be accurate and Apple reduces the cost of the novelty by $ 100, then in the Russian Federation the iPhone 11 will cost:

• Version 11/64 GB - 60,000 rubles;
• Version 11/128 GB - 65,000 rubles;
• Version 11/512 GB - 74,000 rubles.

It should be noted that the cost is calculated taking into account taxes and other expenses of the Apple Corporation. Such prices for a novelty should be expected in the official online store of the company.

The prices of the official chain stores of the corporation in the Russian Federation should be more affordable.
