iPhone 11 to Be Launched on the September 10 Event

Apple on Thursday sent out media invites for its annual iPhone-centric event that will be held on Tuesday September 10th at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California.

The event which is “By invite only” will kick off at 10AM PT / 1PM EST / 6PM BST (8PM on September 10th in Kenya)

Speculations has it that this event is likely to be the launch of the next iPhone which includes the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11R.

Historically, the company usually announces new phones in mid-September, and media reports in the recent past have long predicted that the big day would fall on the 10th this year. There were hints, too: iHelpBR (via MacRumors) dug into the iOS 13 beta code and found a screenshot of the iPhone calendar showing that particular date, echoing a similar image found ahead of last year’s launch date.

In 2018, Apple unveiled three phones on Thursday, Sept. 13 and released the first two, the iPhone XS and XS Max, on Friday, Sept. 21, with the iPhone XR shipping more than a month later, on Oct. 26

According to MacRumors, Apple is expected to continue to offer three iPhones, two OLED models in 5.8 and 6.5 inches and one LCD model that’s 6.1 inches, but all three will see camera improvements.

The two OLED models are said to have triple-lens camera setups arranged within in a square bump, with the setup including a telephoto lens, a wide-angle lens, and a new super-wide angle lens.

The new devices will enable users to zoom out further to capture a wider field of view, and the new setup will also bring improvements to low-light images. As for the 6.1-inch iPhone, it’s getting a dual-camera setup for the first time.

Rumoured specifications of Apple’s iPhone XI include a 5.8-inch display with 1125 x 2346 pixels resolution. The phone will also have a Super Retina HD display.

The phone is expected to come with Apple A11 hex core processor with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone will come with dual 12MP+12MP rear cameras and an 8MP front camera. Camera features include Quad-LED True Tone Flash, 4K Video recording, dual OIS, Continuous shooting, Portrait mode, and more. It will be equipped with a Li-ion non-removable battery. Connectivity options included in the iPhone XI include GPRS, EDGE, WIFI, Bluetooth, USB, and 4G. It will come with an array of sensors including Face ID, Fingerprint sensor, and will come with Quick charging support, and wireless charging. The smartphone will have a dust and water-resistant body.
