September has arrived and it’s time for a new iPhone release.
They have changed a lot since they were introduced back in 2007. Smartphones got evolved because of iPhones.
They have innovated so much around the years.
- They made touchscreens mainstream. (iPhone 2G – 2007)
- The concept of using fingers for your phones instead of a stylus.
- Embedding a fingerprint sensor inside a button. (iPhone 5S – 2013)
- Introduced two cameras. (iPhone 7 Plus – 2016)
- Removed the headphone jack (iPhone 7 Plus – 2016).
- The Notch (iPhone X)
- From SIM to Micro-SIM to Nano-SIM to e-SIM.
Android Manufacturers follow in Apple’s footsteps, and sometimes it’s vice-versa as well.
Apart from iPhones, Apple dominates the market with their Apple Watch and iPads in their respective markets.
The Three Musketeers
The new Apple iPhone is rumored to arrive in 3 different variants.
iPhone 11 would be something on the lines of iPhone XS but with it’s specs upgraded.
There is also an iPhone XR 2019 Edition rumoured receiving a spec bump and two cameras instead of one, targeting the budget audience.
iPhone 11 Pro/Max would be like iPhone XS Max, bigger brother of it’s flagship but also would be having three cameras this time.
It is said that Apple will have three phones which will be iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max. Last one is too long of a name, isn’t it?
The Looks
No matter how much the company tries to keep all the matters a secret, information always gets leaked.
A couple of unofficial cases have leaked over the months to confirm there exists a triple camera setup.
I think Apple logo in the middle is practically confirmed 👌🏻

The triple camera rumour has been doing the rounds since quite a while now. So this is what the new iPhones could possibly look like:

The iPhone 11 will have a 6.1inch LCD screen.
The iPhone 11 Pro will have a 5.8inch OLED screen.

Apple is the only company in the universe that can sell phones with a LCD display in 2019. Not only that, you cannot download songs or files officially from any websites. It is a painful procedure to transfer your smartphone data unless you have their management software iTunes (not very helpful).
Apple is also planning to launch two new iPads and a new model of Apple Watch as well.
We’ll get to know what leaks would actually be true on September 10.
As the competition gets tougher, Apple will have to bring something that’s really off the table else it’ll lose the flagship king title real soon. It faces heat of competition from Samsung and Huawei.
Let’s wait and watch till then.
