In September, Apple will present its new iPhone line-up, as it does every year. As in 2018, three new iPhone models are expected. However, they will no longer have the well-known 3D Touch feature.

The iPhone XS generation is said to be the last with 3D Touch. A feature that some people find useful and others find unnecessary. It has been reported for months that Apple wants to do away with the feature for reasons of interest and cost. The beta of iOS 13 now also indicates this, along with statements from analysts. But what exactly can we expect? More on that later. According to insiders, the new iPhone models will all have the A13 chip and will be equipped with the Lightning port for another year. The switch to USB-C will therefore not take place yet - a pity. According to people who have already seen the devices, they are known by the following code names: D42 (iPhone 12.3) is the successor to the XS, the D43 (iPhone 12.5) model is the successor to the XS Max and N104 (iPhone 12.1) is the successor to the iPhone XR. The D42 and D43 models will have an OLED Retina display, while the N104 will continue to be equipped with the familiar LCD display - just like the current generation. According to the source, all three iPhones will have the same screen resolution as their predecessors.

iPhone 11 with new Taptic Engine

This year, the models will also be equipped with a new type of Taptic Engine, known internally under the code name “Leap Haptics.” It is unclear what functions this new engine will enable, but it is conceivable that it  is an improved version of Haptic Touch – known from the iPhone XR. The 3D Touch feature as we know it is definitely history. 

camera technology

The successors to the iPhone XS series have three cameras on the back, which are arranged in an admittedly somewhat strange square. The third lens is said to be an ultra-wide-angle lens, as has already been reported several times. There are now countless mockups of the new iPhone generation on the Internet - based on statements from various sources and various leaks. According to the report, these are said to be very similar to the real iPhone 2019 models but not identical. The new camera addition is said to enable a function called "Smart Frame" - a feature that allows perspective and cropping corrections when editing images. The front camera of the iPhone 11 is also being upgraded and will now support slo-mo recordings at 120 frames per second - according to the source.
