Apple is working on three new 2019 iPhones: two top-of-the-line models and one low-cost. Here are the features, release date and price
As happened in 2017 and 2018, Apple will launch three new iPhone models in 2019. Although there is no officialdom from the Cupertino company, all the rumors that have come out in recent weeks lean towards this solution. The lineup chosen by Apple includes two top-of-the-line smartphones and a device with great features at a more affordable price.
The launch of the new 2019 iPhones is a very important milestone for Apple: sales of the last models have been below expectations, as confirmed by Tim Cook (Apple CEO) himself a few months ago. In addition to the global economic slowdown, Apple has also suffered from competition from the big hi-tech giants. For this reason, it has invested heavily in the 2019 iPhones, to improve the features and functionality. Compared to the previous year’s model, the design should not be very different, as well as the size of the three devices. There will be a model with a 5.8-inch screen, a version with a 6.5′’ panel, while the low-cost model will have a 6.1-inch display. Here’s everything there is to know about iPhones 2019.
iPhone 2019: what will it be called?
One of the most debated questions in recent weeks is the name of the next applephones. There are many theories circulating, all of them discordant with each other. The most credited speaks of the possibility by Apple to introduce the suffix “Pro” even in its smartphones. So the next Apple smartphone should be called iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max. While the low-cost model would be renamed simply iPhone 2019.
Not everyone agrees with this theory. The market release of an iPhone Pro could be delayed until 2020. For this year, the name of the applephones will be simply iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max and iPhone Xr 2, continuing the path traced in recent years.
The features of the top-of-the-line 2019 iPhone
It will not be a revolution. For the 2019 model, Apple has decided to continue with the choices made two years ago when it launched the iPhone X. So no change in the front of the device: we will still find a very large notch with inside the front camera and sensors for FaceID, which should be better and faster in unlocking.
The big news of the iPhone 2019 will be the rear photo compartment. According to many rumors, the Max model will have well three cameras embedded in a raised square-shaped bumper. A stylistic choice that did not like much to design purists, but necessary for Apple to make the three sensors work at their best. In addition to the main camera there will be a wide-angle sensor and a telephoto lens.
On board will be the new A13 Bionic chipset with 4GB of RAM and 128-256-512GB of internal storage. A 1TB model is not expected for the 2019 iPhone. Apple has also worked innovations on the software level. It will be possible to connect the iPhone to two Bluetooth devices at the same time (for example of will be able to play music to two different pairs of wireless headphones). Also new is the front-facing camera that should ensure even brighter selfies.
On the battery and autonomy front, big news are expected. The iPhone 2019 battery is expected to be bigger and provide longer battery life. The device should also support reverse charging, i.e. the ability to charge other wireless devices (such as AirPods). Many doubts, however, regarding the abandonment of the Lightning port to embrace Type-C. The most likely solution is the possibility of connecting to the Lightning port an adapter that turns the output into Type-C.
How will the iPhone XR 2
Taking the name for granted, the iPhone XR 2 will be a simple update over the model seen last year. The design in the front will remain the same: very large notch and 6.1-inch LCD screen. Something different we will see it in the back with the inclusion of a dual camera (the secondary sensor dedicated to wide-angle photos).
Under the shell we will find the A13 Bionic chipset with to support at least 3GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The front-facing camera, on the other hand, should provide better selfies thanks to new sensor. There are rumors that Apple might also introduce support for fast charging.
When the 2019 iPhone comes out
On the presentation and launch date of the 2019 iPhone, there are not many doubts. The iPhone Pro is expected to be launched on September 10, 2019 and will be available in the market from September 20. Compared to past years, all three models will be available at the same time.
The price of the three 2019 iPhones is expected to start from 800 euros for the low-cost model, to over 1000 euros for the Max version.
