Smartphone Apple iPhone 11 - advantages and disadvantages

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

What is the name of?

Recently, it seems that the "apple" corporation itself has gone astray 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. Because of such unusual decisions of the corporation, today it is reliably clear what specific Apple will give the name to the new device. At the moment there are 2 maximum possible and quite normal sounding options.

The company may be naming the new iPhone 11, thus reverting 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 call the new flagship iPhone XI. For today, to make it easier and clearer, we will call the new product Apple iPhone 11, but we should not exclude the possibility that something absolutely “fresh” will be invented in the “apple” corporation.

It is worth noting that now the leading experts in the field of analytics, as well as insiders, did not speak out about the reliable name of the novelty. They also symbolically call the device iPhone 11 or iPhone XI.

In Runet, in order to identify the new product, they began to use the name iPhone 2019.

Last month, new debatable information was “leaked” to the Network, which partly concerns the names of the novelty. Someone "an employee of the Chinese company Foxconn" said that there will no longer be an inscription "iPhone" on the back. 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. It is unlikely that Apple will decide to get rid of it. On the other hand, the Home key also served as an inseparable element of the iPhone, but in 2017 in the X model it was changed to gestures.

Prototypes of the new iPhone 2019

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

Insider sources managed 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, case form factor, a significantly reduced frame (top) and a built-in camera. The system, which consists of three camera modules, is placed in the shape of a triangle on a fairly large platform in the form of a square that rises above the body.

Fans of Apple products did not immediately like this appearance of the novelty, but the survey, which ended at the end of January, showed that the design of the phone is quite nice and exclusive, in all the traditions of the company.

This point of view is not shared by most users, however, there was no mass criticism of this performance.

Prototype #2

It has the same body form factor, identical reduced bezel (top) and a similar triple camera, but placed vertically in the center of the back 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, of course, called “cyclops”.

It is likely that the company abandoned this execution. This assumption is also argued by a relatively recent video, where Slashleaks insiders demonstrated a functioning novelty. There are other arguments 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 the top (in the left corner) on the back cover.

On the front side, the device has hardly undergone modifications compared to last year's models - there is the same “mono-eyebrow” with a front camera and sensors in order to identify the owner by the 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 contractors who “leak” secret information. It is for this reason that leaks are most often confirmed.

Main technical characteristics

Screen

The novelty is equipped with an OLED screen - there will be no return to a 100% liquid crystal display. The screen diagonal 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, and therefore it is not yet clear whether Apple will use it.

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

This is hard to believe, since S. Jobs was a fierce enemy of styluses and joked about this during the demonstration of the first iPhone. On the other hand, in the Chinese market, and in most others, such a function would be 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 an improvement in the identification system. Apple does not plan to abandon the "monobrow" in the novelty, for example, to make a hole in the screen to install the front camera, as manufacturers of mobile devices based on Android are doing now.

An Ice Universe insider said about this, noting that the company will abandon the “monobrow” in iPhones only in a couple of years.

The new screen will get 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 increase to a value of 120 Hz, which will provide an incredibly smooth and clear gaming experience.

Frame

iPhone XI is made in a case 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 glass matte materials for special purposes, which will provide excellent resistance to damage.

In addition, the new material made it possible to protect the smartphone from moisture as efficiently as possible. The device is able to withstand immersion for a longer period when compared with the iPhone XS. Information regarding the colors of this year's flagship device is still missing. Most likely, the corporation will leave 6 color solutions:

1. Black.
2. Green.
3. Yellow.
4. Lilac.
5. Red.
6. White.

Performance and memory

Today, there is very little reliable information about the “iron” of the novelty. The device will definitely get a system based on the proprietary A13 chip, made using the 7nm process technology. How many cores it will have and at what frequency they will operate is not clear.

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

Memory and battery

This year, the corporation promises to increase battery capacity. If you believe the relatively recent statements of DigiTimes, the novelty 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 novelty 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 Air Pods headset.

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

cameras

The novelty of this year has got new cameras. From the position of specialists in the field of analytics, the "apple" corporation really hopes for them, 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 takes better photos at night, has a triple optical type of zoom, and can correct and enhance shots and videos in real time using AI. Significantly improved the developers and the front cameras of the novelty.This model has a 12 MP 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 can now identify the owner from different angles.

Connectors

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

When will they show?

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

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

• Presentation of the iPhone XS in 2018 - 12.09;
• Presentation of iPhone 8 in 2017 - 12.09;
• Presentation of iPhone 7 in 2016 - 07.09;
• Presentation of the iPhone 6s in 2015 - 09.09;
• Presentation of the iPhone 6 in 2014 - 09.09;
• Presentation of the iPhone 5s in 2013 - 10.09;
• Presentation of the 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 open sales on Friday. If the demonstration of the novelty takes place on 10.09.2019, then, probably, the opening of sales of the new smartphone will be scheduled for 20.09 of this year.

It is fairly clear that the new 2019 iPhone will hit the markets with iOS 13.

What is the price?

The most interesting point is the cost of the smartphone.

At the start of the year, analysts at Wedbush predicted that the new iPhone would be more affordable than its predecessors. From the point of view of specialists, Apple will reduce the cost of devices due to a significant reduction in the level of sales of the iPhone XS due to its inflated price.

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

In addition, the corporation can reduce the large difference in cost between smartphones with different memory variations. If the scenario turns out to be accurate and Apple cuts the cost of the novelty by $100, then in Russia 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 Apple Corporation. Such prices for a novelty should be expected in the official online store of the company.

At the official chain stores of the corporation in the territory of the Russian Federation, prices should be more affordable.

• High quality OLED screen using Y-OCTA technology;
