Apple is introducing a successor to its iPhone XR today, dubbed iPhone 11. The cheaper LCD-equipped iPhone XR has become the most popular iPhone in the world over the past year, and Apple is now updating it for 2019 and beyond. Like last year’s model, the iPhone 11 includes a 6.1-inch display, and the design is almost identical to last year, too, with the notch at the front for the Face ID camera. Apple is adding new color options, with purple, white, green, yellow, black, and red all available. Apple’s biggest changes are in the camera at the rear of the device. Last year’s iPhone XR had a single 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, but the iPhone 11 now includes a dual-camera system with an ultra-wide camera that supports 2x optical zoom. There’s even a new immersive camera interface that lets you see outside the frame, so you can see the details of the photos you’re taking with the ultra-wide camera. The camera is a big deal here for Apple, and the company is adding multiscale tone mapping that deals with highlights differently depending on where they are. 
There’s also a new high-key mono portrait effect, and portrait mode itself will now work on pets. Perhaps the biggest addition is Night mode, to better compete with Google’s Pixel devices and Samsung’s latest Note 10 and S10 handsets. Night mode uses adaptive bracketing to improve shots taken at night. For video, you can tap to switch between the ultra-wide and regular camera and there’s support for 4K resolution up to 60fps, slow-mo, time-lapse, and a new extended dynamic range across both cameras. Even the front-facing camera is getting an upgrade, to a 12-megapixel true depth wide-angle camera that you can rotate to do landscape shots. The front camera can also do 4K / 60 video and slow-mo, perfect if you’re going for some crazy selfie videos, or “slofies” as Apple calls them. Inside the iPhone 11 is Apple’s latest A13 Bionic processor, and naturally, it’s the “fastest CPU in a smartphone” and also the “fastest GPU in a smartphone.”
