It's been a long wait and after numerous speculation, leaks and renders. Apple finally announced the iPhone 11 today during this year's September Event. The new iPhone 11 is so identical to the iPhone XR -- with both having the same 6.1-inch screen size, comes in 6 colours, and a dual-camera; notably, the second camera features an ultra-wide lens as opposed to a telephoto lens as in past devices. The main improvements seem to be around the camera. Apple introduced several software improvements, including the ability to take pet portraits, a high-key monochrome mode, and a proper Night Mode to compete with Google. Apple says its new low-light feature will use AI to automatically brighten photos and reduce noise. We’ll have to see how it compares to the upcoming Pixel 4 later this year – a phone we expect to be able to even take proper pictures of the stars.
