Three iPhone Xi models have appeared online in a video: design and number of rear cameras revealed
What will the new 2019 iPhone 11 look like? At the moment there is no official information, but only a plethora of rumors. And based on some rumors the YouTuber Marques Brownlee has created a video in which he shows prototypes of the future iPhone.
It is not a working smartphone, but a model coming from another famous leaker: the Australian Sonny Dickson. A model that confirms most of the rumors about the iPhone 2019 circulated so far, primarily the rear camera compartment enclosed in a large square. A design choice that will share the iPhone XI with many other top-of-the-line smartphones that will be presented in the coming months, such as Google’s Pixel 4. We’ll have to wait until early September to know how similar the real iPhone 11s will be to these “mockups”.
iPhone XI: how it’s made
The design of the next iPhone looks a lot like that of the current model, the iPhone Xs. Unfortunately, since the one shown in Brownlee’s video is a “dummy” and not a working specimen, you can’t see the screen turned on. So we don’t know how big the notch will be, but we only know that the front camera lens is placed near the earphone capsule, on the right, as in the current model. We can clearly see the back with the big square bumper placed on the top left containing the three lenses and the LED flash. The iPhone Xr 2 will have one less camera and the flash moved to the bottom. The bumper, in the model shown, is black but it is unlikely that it will be of this color on the real iPhone XI. The devices shown in the video, finally, have the symmetrical speaker on the bottom of the body, near the Lightning port, so no USB Type C as most users would like instead.
Should we trust it?
After a thousand rumors it is fair to ask: will this really be the new iPhone XI 2019? The chances that the answer is yes are not few: it is now the practice among smartphone manufacturers to deliver three-dimensional drawings of the incoming models to the manufacturers of covers so that, when the device comes out on the market there is already a fair number of accessories available. From these drawings, then, the manufacturers of covers make reproductions of the devices in 1/1 scale, in order to test how the cover “fits” on the phone. At least with regard to the rear design, therefore, it is now quite plausible that the iPhone XI is just so.
