Read everything you need to know about 2019's fresh batch of iPhones.
The new iPhone 11 Pro has three rear cameras and starts at $999.
The iPhone 11 (from $699), iPhone 11 Pro ($999) and iPhone 11 Pro Max ($1,099) are here, flexing new camera muscles, a fresh palette of colors and the A13 Bionic chip that promises speedier performance across the board. From the front, this crop of iPhones look like last year's iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR -- notch and all. (Here's how the iPhone 11 phones compare to the iPhone XS and XR.) From the back, a square camera array shouts out the difference between 2018 and 2019. Apple's redesigned camera mount is the hallmark for iPhone 11 devices, but it also houses two camera sensors for the iPhone 11 and three for the 11 Pro.
For many people, the iPhone represents the gold standard for smartphone design and cutting-edge features like Face ID unlocking, which Apple says is now faster than before. Despite new features like a faster A13 Bionic processor and support for Wi-Fi 6, Apple's iPhone challenge this year is mighty. Phone sales are down. Competitors are pulling ahead on camera tools and features. The iPhone 11 phones, which lack 5G support, could fall behind while the speedier data networks continue to grow in 2020.
