What we should expect in the new iPhone....

We now have a clear idea of the iPhone 11 launch date, and we're starting to see some real, solid leaks on how the upgraded handset will look - and what features they'll be packing.

If you're not up to speed with what's coming out of the iPhone 2019 rumor mill, then prepare for some disappointment: the new iPhone range looks like it will just be an incremental upgrade. We've got some experience sifting through these rumors - we've been at it for over a decade - and nothing we've picked up suggests anything more than that.

What does that mean? Well, a similar shape and size to previous launches (with three phones mooted for unveiling at the new iPhone 11 launch) but they won't bring amazing changes just now.

If you're interested in what's coming next, then we're predicting 5G, whether the Lightning connector will finally get dropped, and possibly even a foldable phone - but either way, that won't be happening until we see the next iPhone in 2020 at the very least.

Will we get the iPhone 11 'Pro' this year? We discuss this at greater length below, but as we're not expecting big changes this time around we doubt we'll get that much of a name change. It would make sense to save it for the cooler elements mentioned above, in 2020.

What we do know is that the new iPhone 11 will be the poster-child for iOS 13, and we're pretty certain that we'll be seeing the iPhone 11, iPhone 11R and iPhone 11 Max... what Apple is going to call them remains a mystery though, with there being no obvious next step to the iPhone XS.


The main change will be that camera upgrade - we're now fully expecting three sensors on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max, and just two on the iPhone 11R - but with enhanced capabilities on each model.

What is of more interest is whether Apple will be pushing the iPhone 11R (if indeed it does call it that) as the iPhone XR is the phone that's most prominently featured on its homepage - suggesting the cheaper phone could almost be the star of the show this year.

There will reportedly be some smart features added for charging, and Apple might finally have added in something users have been crying out for.

So just keep in check for any new info.
