Apple iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max with A13 Bionic, square triple rear-camera setup launched

As expected, the new generation of Apple iPhones are now official and as we first tipped the world, they come equipped with a square triple rear-camera setup. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro and Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max are the company’s new smartphones that look quite similar to their predecessors but feature a slew of new changes under the hood. The two iPhones are powered by the new A13 Bionic processor, feature a new Super Retina XDR display, and as mentioned above, come equipped with an upgraded triple rear-camera setup that sports an ultra-wide, wide and a telephoto camera. 

Apple iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max specs

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max feature many similar specifications. The handsets sport a textured matte glass back and polished stainless steel band. They are touted to come equipped with the “toughest glass ever in a smartphone” and are IP68 rated for up to 4 meters of water resistance, for up to 30 minutes. The iPhone 11 Pro and the 11 Pro Max come equipped with a 5.8-inch and a 6.5-inch display respectively. They both sport a Super Retina XDR display, which is an HDR-enabled OLED panel with a 2 million to 1 contrast ratio. 

The two handsets are powered by Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, which the company says is the fastest CPU and GPU ever on a handset. The new chip also comes with the third-generation Neural Engine that is said to deliver improved machine learning performance. Additionally, it is touted to be the most power-efficient SoC ever made by the company, which is said to add up to five hours of battery life on the newer iPhones. This is a tall claim by Apple, which we will surely put to the test when we get the new devices in for review. 

Coming to the optics, both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max are equipped with three 12MP cameras on the back. One of the sensors is paired with an ultra-wide lens that has f/2.4 aperture and 120-degree field of view, while the second one is paired a wide f/1.8 lens. The third 12MP telephoto camera features an f/2.0 aperture lens. The upgraded camera unit on the handsets are capable of 2x optical zoom in and zoom out, along with up to 10x digital zoom. On the front sits a 12MP sensor that is now capable of capturing slow motion and 4K videos. 

This time, Apple has also announced a dedicated Night Mode for the iPhone’s camera that is touted to boost images captured in dimly lit conditions. As always, Apple didn’t reveal the battery capacity of its new iPhones but in comparison with the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max are said to deliver about four and five hours of additional battery backup, respectively.

Apple launches Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, doubles down on its future with services

Well, it was bound to happen. Apple has now jumped onto the streaming bandwagon and announced Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. With Apple TV+, the San Cupertino company will be going up against the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime and even Disney+. Apple is collaborating with the who’s who of the entertainment world to produce original content for the platform. From movies to TV shows to even documentaries, it’s all here and it looks like Apple is going all in with Apple TV+. The service will launch on November 1 in over 100 countries and regions

In a recent press release, Zack Van Amburg, Apple’s head of Worldwide Video  said that, “With Apple TV+, we are presenting all-original stories from the best, brightest and most creative minds, and we know viewers will find their new favorite show or movie on our service,” As far as pricing is concerned, the service will launch for $4.99 (369 RS. Approx.) with a seven-day free trial. The service also features Family Sharing, where up to six family members can share one Apple TV+ subscription.

Apple TV+ will be made available on 2018, 2019 Samsung smart TVs as well as Amazon Fire TV and other devices, in the future. 

Here are a few shows that will be available on Apple TV+:

See: Starring Jason Momoa, this show looks to a an excellent blend of sci-fi and post-apocalyptic action. 

The Morning Show: A show that takes a deeper look at the world of morning news and the people behind the madness. It stars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell. 

Dickinson: This looks like a fun, quirky YA show with heart-felt coming of age themes and more. 

;

For All Mankind: This is a show that looks at the world through the eyes of an alternate timeline. 

Snoopy in Space: Um, Snoopy in Space? Enough said, we’re in. 

There are whole host of other shows as well and we’re sure that Apple will keep the content flowing in the coming months. Definitely one to keep an eye out for. 

Coming to Apple Arcade, the game subscription service will be one that may be a gamechanger. At today’s Apple event, the company announced that the service will be launching on September 19 with a one-month free trial and more than 100 games. First revealed in March, the service looks to bolster its lineup with developers like Konami, Annapurna Studios and more. We’re looking forward to seeing what can be achieved with Apple Arcade. 

Depending on bandwidth and other factors, maybe Apple Arcade will take a little longer to make its mark on the industry but as of now, the competition is just heating up as Apple prepares to roll out Apple Arcade. Watch this space for more news and coverage of the Apple Event. 

In case you missed it, Apple also announced a new 10.2-inch iPad as well as the latest Apple Watch 5. You can read more about the 10.2-inch iPad here and more about the Apple Watch 5 here.

iPhone 11 with dual cameras, night mode and A13 Bionic SoC launched at Rs 64,999

The iPhone 11 is the successor to the iPhone XR and catches up with the iPhone features from last year and then some. The iPhone 11 retains the 6.1-inch Super Retina LCD display but adds one more camera at the back. It also comes in a wide array of colours.

iPhone 11 specs and features

The iPhone 11 looks the same from the front with an all-glass design. Apple said they’ve used the ‘toughest glass ever on a smartphone’ and backed it up with a video of how the iPhone survived drops from a table, getting all mixed up in a ladies’ handbag and more. It’s also water and dust resistant up to 2 meters for 30 minutes. The notch is retained and comes with a wider 12MP TrueDepth camera sensor that facilitates both faster faceID and a wider field of view for selfies.

The 6.1-inch LCD display supports a wide-colour gamut and comes with Apple’s proprietary TrueTone colour optimisation system. Further, the display has haptic touch feedback and supports tap to wake. There’s not much that's changed here.

On the back, there’s a dual-camera system. An upgrade from the previous iPhone XR that came with only one. As rumoured, the dual-camera feature is housed in a square camera bump. The bump itself is part of the glass body and not a separate unit.

The primary camera has a 12MP wide 26mm sensor with f/1.8 and 6-element lens. The second camera is ultra-wide with a 120-degree field of view and a f/2.4 5-element lens. The ultrawide camera can zoom out by 2X. The camera UI will show what both lens will see when you’re shooting a frame so you can make the choice to switch when needed. Now that there’s two lenses, the iPhone 11 can acquire stereoscopic depth data, so you can also shoot portrait photos of your pets.

Speaking of the camera software, Apple has added ‘semantic rendering’ that relights photos based on the subject along with ‘smart HDR’ achieved by multiscale tone mapping. The iPhone 11 also catches up with the rest of the smartphone industry with a night mode. It’s used to capture low-light photos and comes on automatically and uses adaptive bracketing to light low-lit frames.

Next on to video, the dual camera can also be used to shoot 4K videos at 60 FPS. It comes with ‘cinematic video stabilisation’ and extended dynamic range for video. There’s also Quick Take, a feature where you can long press the shutter button in the camera to start recording a video in between shooting photos. The 12MP front camera can also take 4K videos at 60 FPS and slo-mo videos to take what Apple called slo-fies.

Coming to the hardware inside, the iPhone 11 is powered by the same Apple A13 Bionic chipset that also powers the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. It’s a 7nm SoC that Apple claimed brings a 20 percent boost in performance. In typical Apple fashion, the A13 Bionic was hailed as the ‘fastest CPU’ and ‘fasted GPU’ ever on a smartphone. Apple also claimed it to be the most power efficient chip it has manufactured, with a 40 percent boost in efficiency. This allows the iPhone 11 to last an hour longer than the iPhone XR.

Topping it all off, the iPhone 11 gets spatial sound with Dolby Atmos support and wireless charging. FaceID is also apparently faster. The iPhone 11 will ship with iOS 13 out of the box. The update will be available on September 13 on older iPhones from iPhone 6s and later. iOS 13.1 with additional features will drop on September 30.

iPhone 11 price and availability

The iPhone 11 will be available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB variants. There are five colours to choose from — Purple, green, yellow, black, white and PRODUCT (RED). In India, the iPhone 11 will start from Rs 64,900 and will be available through authorized resellers and select carriers.

Apple will start selling the iPhone 11 online from Friday, September 13 and will be available in offline stores a week later, from September 20.

The iPhone 11 will start at $699 (roughly Rs 50,000) and will be available in the US from September 20. Buyers in the US can pre-order the iPhone 11 from September 13. Apple will offer a year’s subscription of Apple TV+ bundled with the phone, and if you are upgrading from a iPhone XR, the price is slashed to $399 (roughly Rs. 28,600).

Apple also announced the latest Apple Watch 5 that comes with an Always-On display. You can read all about it, right here. There's also the Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade gaming service announcements here and the new 10.2-inch iPad here.

Apple announces new 102 inch iPad

The 9.7-inch iPad has been the most popular iPad for Apple, bringing countless new users to the walled garden of Apple’s eco-system. This popular iPad has now received a much-needed upgrade, with Apple bringing it up to par with what is expected of Apple’s modern-day large display computer.

The new iPad now has a 10.2-inch display, which is going to be the most notable change. The other big change is the fact that the 7th generation iPad now uses Apple’s 10x fusion chip, paired with an undisclosed amount of RAM. The new iPad is also going to be compatible with the full-sized smart keyboard, making the 7th generation iPad as good as an entry-level laptop, for a fraction of the price, but with better performance and a super manageable form factor.

The 7th generation iPad starts retailing at $329, with students and educational institutes getting a special price of $299. The new iPad will be available starting September 30. Another interesting feature of the 7th generation iPad is the fact that it is made of fully recycled aluminium. Obviously, the new iPad will be running the newest iPadOS, which will bring all of the incredible features of the new operating system to this entry-level tablet from Apple.

It is interesting that Apple took to the stage to announce a new iPad during their September event. Typically, new iPad announcements are reserved for later in October, so an early announcement for the company’s entry-level iPad means that we could be seeing more powerful models, later in October.

The new seventh-generation iPad comes in silver, space gray and gold finishes in 32GB and 128GB configurations. The iPad starts at INR 29,900 for the Wi-Fi model and INR 40,900 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model, and is available through Apple Authorized Resellers and select carriers (prices may vary).
