Finally, it's that time again - we're almost there. The next big Apple keynote is just around the corner. Under the motto "By innovation only", Apple will present new hardware - we'll explain below what we can expect and how you can watch the event.
Apple has been holding a keynote in September for years to introduce new hardware products and release fresh software. This year, three new iPhone models are expected - the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. While the iPhone 11 will be the successor to the colorful iPhone XR, the two Pro devices will replace the iPhone XS series.
Although the design will be similar to the 2018 lineup, the back of the three iPhone models will receive a major update. According to rumors and leaks, the iPhone 11 will have the well-known dual camera - the iPhone Pro series will have a completely new camera. Both premium models will have a triple camera in a square design. The module will offer a significantly larger shooting angle and a higher zoom level.
Will the front camera also get an update?
The third lens will be an ultra-wide-angle lens. According to some rumors, the back of the iPhones has been redesigned due to the new camera. According to various sources, it will have a matte surface - the annoying camera bump is also now a thing of the past. It is also reported that Apple has updated the front camera of the new devices - so all three iPhones could have a 12 megapixel front camera. In addition to the new cameras, all three iPhone 2019 models will support bilateral wireless charging. This means that users of an iPhone 2019 model can wirelessly charge accessories such as the AirPods or the Apple Watch on the back of their iPhone - third-party accessories should also be able to benefit from this feature.
Additional hardware products possible
In addition to the new iPhone models, Apple will most likely present the fifth generation of the Apple Watch. However, there is very little information about what features it might include. The case was recently leaked in a watchOS 6 beta. According to this, Cupertino plans to present the Apple Watch Series 5 in a titanium and ceramic case, among other things. It remains unclear whether Apple will present other hardware products - the introduction of a new Apple TV is possible - more on this hereIn addition to all the hardware, a lot is also expected on the software and service level. The company is likely to announce a launch date for Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. We will also find out when the final versions of iOS 13, iPadOS, tvOS 13, watchOS 6 and macOS 10.15 Catalina will be released.
