All the details on Apple’s newest iPhones
Apple today announced iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, a new pro line for iPhone. The new Super Retina XDR display is a pro display with the brightest display ever in an iPhone.
The Pro phones will feature a new A13 Bionic chip, a new triple camera system and comes in four colours, including a new midnight green.
They will be available for pre-order beginning Saturday, 14 September and in stores beginning Friday, 20 September.
Apple worldwide marketing senior vice president Phil Schiller says, "iPhone 11 Pro provides our customers with great range of creative control and advanced photo and video editing features in iOS 13. The Super Retina XDR is the brightest and most advanced display in iPhone.
Pro design and display
iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have a textured matte glass back and polished stainless steel band, and come in four finishes.
They feature the toughest glass ever in a smartphone and are rated IP68 for water resistance up to 4 meters for up to 30 minutes, and are protected against everyday spills including coffee and soft drinks.
The new Super Retina XDR display, a custom-designed OLED, provides users an immersive HDR viewing experience for movies and other high-definition video with up to 1,200 nits brightness.
Super Retina XDR features wide colour support with system-wide colour management and True Tone to offer a more natural viewing experience.
With a 2 million-to-one contrast ratio with true blacks, users can enjoy a more vivid viewing experience for HDR videos and photos, and the Super Retina XDR display more power-efficient.
Customers can interact with their favourite apps in a quick, seamless way with Haptic Touch integrated across iOS 13 to provide app shortcuts for everyday tasks right from the Home screen, including taking a selfie in Camera, checking an appointment in Calendar or previewing email within Mail with just a simple press.
Performance and battery life
A13 Bionic provides fast performance for every task iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max handles and features up to 20% faster CPU and GPU than A12.
A13 Bionic is built for machine learning, with a faster Neural Engine for real-time photo and video analysis, and new Machine learning Accelerators that allow the CPU to deliver more than 1 trillion operations per second.
Battery-wise, the iPhone 11 Pro offers up to four more hours of battery life in a day than iPhone Xs, and iPhone 11 Pro Max offering up to five hours more than iPhone Xs Max.
A pro camera system for everyone
iPhone 11 Pro introduces a triple-camera system with all-new Ultra Wide, Wide and Telephoto cameras, integrated into iOS to create a pro-level camera experience designed for everyone.
Each camera in the triple-camera system records 4K video with extended dynamic range and cinematic video stabilisation.
With a wider field of view and large focal plane, the Ultra Wide camera is great for shooting action videos.
Users can easily zoom between each of the three cameras, while Audio Zoom matches the audio to the video framing for more dynamic sound.
With iOS 13, video editing tools are accessible to everyone with the ability to rotate, crop, increase exposure and apply filters to videos instantly.
These adjustments are easy to apply and review at a glance, so even a novice can create professional quality video projects.
The all-new Ultra Wide camera aims to change the camera experience by capturing four times more scene, great for taking landscape or architecture photos, tight shots and more.
The new Wide sensor with 100 percent Focus Pixels and advanced software enables Night mode, and delivers improvements to photos shot in indoor and outdoor low-light environments, resulting in brighter images with natural colours and reduced noise.
The triple-camera system takes Portrait mode to a new level with the ability to choose Wide and Telephoto framing, enabling Portrait mode with a wider field of view, great for taking portraits of multiple people.
The Telephoto camera features a larger ƒ/2.0 aperture to capture 40% more light compared to iPhone Xs for better photos and videos.
Next-generation Smart HDR uses advanced machine learning to recognise subjects in the frame and intelligently relight them for more natural-looking images with greater detail.
A new True Tone flash is over 30% brighter.
Deep Fusion, coming later this spring, is a new image processing system enabled by the Neural Engine of A13 Bionic.
Deep Fusion uses advanced machine learning to do pixel-by-pixel processing of photos, optimising for texture, details and noise in every part of the photo.
A redesigned camera interface provides a more immersive experience that works together with the triple-camera system and all-screen display to let users see and capture the area outside of the frame.
For the first time, users can easily record video without switching out of Photo mode with QuickTake by simply holding the shutter button to start recording.
The new TrueDepth camera introduces a new 12MP camera with a wider field of view to capture selfies, and next-generation Smart HDR enables more natural-looking photos.
Expressive selfie videos take on a whole new look with the TrueDepth camera that now records 4K video at up to 60 fps and 120 fps slo-mo.
Featuring iOS 13
iOS 13 introduces a dramatic new look with Dark Mode, a more private way to sign in to apps and websites with Sign In with Apple, and an all-new Maps experience.
With advanced Camera and Photos features, photo editing is more comprehensive and intuitive with powerful new tools that now extend to video editing.
Portrait Lighting adjustments can be made right in the Camera app to adjust the intensity of light on a subject, and a new High-Key Mono effect creates a beautiful, monochromatic look for Portrait mode photos.
