Apple Works On Three iPhone 2019 Models – Here’s Everything We Know So Far

Apple fans know that the company will unleash the new iPhone 2019 models in September. It is thought that the company will stick to the current trend and offer three different devices. The new iPhone range should include a standard model, a larger model, and a budget smartphone (some dream that it will be the iPhone SE2). Below you can find a list of features which should make an appearance on the new iPhone 2019 models.

Smile for the cameras

The next iPhone 2019 models could feature a triple camera setup on the rear, similar to the ones used by Huawei and Samsung on their flagships. The premium iPhone, which will succeed the XS Max, possibly called the iPhone 11 or XI, is thought to be the only device which will use that setup.

Some sources believe that a triple camera setup will arrive on the more affordable iPhone devices at some point, but that remains to be seen. The configuration should allow iPhone users to capture superior images, with better zoomed-in shots and a bigger field of view.

Size does matter for iPhone 2019 models

Most analysts believe that the upcoming iPhone models would retain the current screen size. It is likely that Apple will also use the same OLED screens featured on the last generation, but this time the OLED display will be present across all three devices.

Many fans complained that the LCD used by the iPhone XR is not very impressive when compared to the one used by its bigger brothers and Apple may opt to use an OLED panel to avoid future troubles.

Superior security

The iconic facial recognition solution may receive a substantial upgrade. It is believed that a revamped Face ID will be able to work better in darker environments, allowing users to unlock their devices faster.

Classic charger

The next iPhone smartphones would ship with the classic 5-watt charging brick. Most Android flagships arrive with a fast charger, but it looks like Apple will continue to sell them separately.

iPhone 2019 would come with USB-C

The switch to USB-C would make many users happy, but there is little to no proof that such a significant change will take place. Until an official announcement arrives, we can only hope that the next iPhone 2019 models will be great.

iPad 7 Would Keep The 3.5mm Headphone Jack

Apple fans are already looking forward to releasing the upcoming iPad 7. The Cupertino-based tech giant is currently working on several devices, but these gadgets have remained shrouded in mystery.

A reputable blog argues that the next generation of iPad will use the same body like the iPad 6, which means that those who were expecting a radical design change will be quite disappointed since any visual differences between the two devices should be minimal.

Select sources claim that Apple may opt to increase the size of the display by removing the bezels and switching to an edge-to-edge panel. According to one source, the screen of the next iPad could reach up to 10 inches. This information is contested by another source which believes that the standard 9.7 inches size will be retained. At this point, it is unclear which of the sources is right.

iPad 7 Would Keep The 3.5mm Headphone Jack

The 2018 iPad Pro dropped the headphone jack. Many believed that this would mark the start of a trend with Apple aiming to remove the port from the entire iPad range. It seems that the next iPad will retain the 3.5-mm headphone jack, which is excellent news if you own a wired headset.

When it comes to performance, it is likely that Apple will bump the specs a bit to make the new device most attractive. The powerful A11 Bionic chip packs a decent punch, and it would be an excellent addition for the iPad, even more so if it coupled with a generous amount of RAM. A more substantial amount of RAM is also significant for those that use the multitask feature extensively since it would allow them to switch between several apps seamlessly.

It is also thought that Apple will retain the favorite Touch ID feature. Data mining has revealed that the iOS 12.2 beta contains references for three upcoming devices. One of them is a revamped iPod Touch and two tablets. It is clear that one of them is the iPad 7, and the other is rumored to be a new iPad mini.

iPhone Secret Features That Might Change Your iOS Experience

Back when Android smartphones become popular the main argument in favor of Google’s operating system was represented by the sheer number of features which were provided by Android smartphones. That has been the case since Apple preferred to offer an accessible and streamline experience instead of a bunch of features that may or may not be useful. That has changed in recent years as the Cupertino-based company has refined its OS and added so many features that some of them are easy to forget even if you hear about them. Here are a few iPhone secret features that you might find handy sometimes.

Below you can find a list of exciting features which aren’t well-known among the users.

iPhone Secret Features That Might Change Your iOS Experience

A location-sensitive Do Not Disturb Mode

Do Not Disturb is one of the most exciting iPhone secret features. It’s useful when you don’t want to be bothered by random notifications while you are trying to relax after a hard day at work. Few iOS users know that you can use a location-based DND. You can enable this function by long-pressing the DND icon until a menu appears and selecting the Until I leave this location option.

A smarter way to move app icons

Everybody knows that you can move an icon by pressing on the icon until all the icons start to shake. If you keep your finger on the icon, you can use another one to select several apps and move all of them to a new page.

A bit of extra volume

If you like to play music on your device with the help of the built-in loudspeaker, you may want a little bit of extra volume. Those that wish to blast their favorite music can open the EQ menu from the Setting menu and tap on the Late Night option.

View app notifications in a folder

If you are a well-organized person who likes to keep apps into several folders, you may be annoyed when you see a notification. But thanks to one of the most useful iPhone secret features, you can see notifications in a folder.

You can see the notification quickly by using 3D Touch. Press firmly on the folder, and a menu will appear, showing all the apps which have new notifications. Tap directly on the list to see them.

A sleep timer

If you like to watch a show or listen to music in bed, this feature could be useful. Open the Clock app and set a timer, tap on the When Timer Ends button and look for the Stop Playing option.

iPhone 11 Release Date, Rumors, and More

As we are already three months into the new year, many speculations are emerging regarding the upcoming iPhone 2019 models. Dubbed as iPhone 11 or XL, the upcoming lineup would feature some design changes (giving up the notch, finally) and improved technical specs. Today, we’re going to show everything we know about iPhone release date, rumors, and more.

Expected enhancements in the next iPhone 11

Apple is expected to change the design of the new iPhone 2019 lineup, improve the processing speed, add some new features, increase the screen resolution, bring in enhancements with chances in colors, and many such additions.1

If you take a look at what the Japanese site MacOtakara posts, you will see how the upcoming iPhone 11 or XL might look like.

Several sources believe that Apple will not give up the idea of a trio of iPhones consisting of two with OLED screens and one with LCD. Anticipating by how the iPhone XR was sold, the company will produce more units of the LCD phone.

The OLED iPhone devices of this year will be available in different size versions such as one measuring 6.5 inches or the other that would measure 5.8 inches. On the other hand, the successor of iPhone XR would boast a 6.1-inch display. Japan Display offers some Full Active LCD screens that are just as good as the OLED ones but at a better cost, and Apple is thought to use them in their next LCD iPhone.

iPhone 11 would sport some design changes – Or not?

Early last month, Ming-Chi Kuo offered some news regarding the variety of colors the iPhone 2019 models will be available. The 6.5-inch iPhone 11 will come in white, black and maybe gold, while the 6.1-inch LCD version would be available in orange, blue, gray, red, and white.

According to various leaks, the iPhone 2019 models will not suffer significant changes regarding the design. The measurements are not that different, the edge to edge screen display will still be there, but the full-screen design might come in, meaning that Apple would finally ditch the notch for iPhone 11 series.

Foldable iPhone Looks Stunning In These Sketches

While, at the moment, we all focus on Samsung’s conference where the South Korean tech company is going to release its anniversary Galaxy S10 lineup and the first folding smartphone, Galaxy Fold, some sketches on the future foldable iPhone emerged thanks to LetsGoDigital. The Dutch site based its renders on a recently filed Apple patent regarding a folding iPhone device.

Nonetheless, Samsung is not the only one going to launch a folding smartphone. Other manufacturers, including Huawei and Lenovo, among others, will also roll out their foldable phones soon. It seems that Apple is not going to miss this train, and the Cupertino-based company also plans to come up with a foldable iPhone, only that we don’t know yet when would that happen.

All we got right now is a patent Apple filed regarding a future foldable iPhone and the sketched LetsGoDigital created based on that patent. Accordingly, it might take a while until Apple’s folding smartphone would launch.

Foldable iPhone Looks Stunning In These Sketches

Be it as it may, the foldable iPhone looks impressive in the new sketches created by LetsGoDigital. And since these renders are based on a real Apple patent referring to a future folding smartphone of the company, we truly believe that this is how the upcoming foldable iPhone would look like when it launches.

Besides releasing their sketched on the folding iPhone, LetsGoDigital hinted that the Cupertino-based company would first launch a 5G smartphone and then would plan to come up with this foldable iPhone. Therefore, since Apple plans to release the 5G iPhone in 2020, we should also expect Apple’s first folding smartphone to come out next year.

“It would be desirable to be able to use flexible display technology to provide improved electronic devices,” the Apple patent reads. But that’s not a suggestion that Apple would indeed release a foldable iPhone any time soon.
