iPhone 11 (2019) Rumors: New iPhone Release Date, Leaks and More!
Apple's iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max represent important steps forward for the company's handsets and are among the best phones you can buy. They're the most powerful iPhones ever, thanks to the A12 Bionic chip, and they offer many other upgrades, including better cameras with features like Smart HDR.
But there's always room for improvement.
iPhone 11 rumors are kicking into high gear, promising a plethora of new features and updates in this year's models. The biggest rumors so far center around triple rear cameras, bigger batteries with reverse wireless charging and fast charging in the box. Here's all the top rumors we've heard so far, as well as our wish list of what we would like to see in Apple's next devices.
Latest News (Updated June 3)
- Apple has unveiled iOS 13, the next edition of its mobile operating system that will underpin the new range of iPhones coming later this year. iOS 13 includes an all-new Dark Mode, new features related to location sharing and secure sign-in, a redesigned Photos app and a more detailed Maps experience, among other things, and will arrive this fall.
- It looks like Apple is scrapping 3D Touch in this year's generation of iPhones, according to a research note from Barclays analysts. Instead, Apple will reportedly switch to Haptic Touch, like in the iPhone XR.
- The next iPhone will reportedly let you stream audio to multiple devices, according to Mac Otakara. This would make it easier for multiple people to listen to music simultaneously, and would bring the iPhone in line with rival devices from Samsung and Hauwei
iPhone 11 release date
Apple announced the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR on Sept. 12, 2018, but the company staggered the actual release dates for the phones. The iPhone XS and XS Max were available for preorder Sept. 14 and they went on sale Sept. 21. The iPhone XR was up for preorder Oct. 19 and hit stores Oct. 26.

Cameras: An eye on three lenses
Apple's current iPhones offer solid cameras, but they're not the best camera phones out there. Flagships like the Pixel 3 and Huawei P30 Pro are better, especially in low light. One of the most popular iPhone rumors centers on whether Apple will opt for a triple camera array in its 2019 iPhones.In May 2018, Deutsche Securities analyst Jialin Lu said that Apple was planning a triple-lens camera array in at least one of the iPhones it will release in 2019. According to the analyst, whose note was reported on by Economic Daily News, the cameras would offer advanced 3D sensing and use stereoscopic vision and dramatically improve the iPhone's augmented-reality capabilities. AR has been a major point of emphasis at Apple in recent years.
iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max (Credit: Tom's Guide)After initially throwing cold water on the idea of a triple lens iPhone back in September, longtime Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now says Apple is likely to introduce three cameras to some of the new iPhones. Most iPhone 2019 rumors, like a report from the Wall Street Journal report in January, point to only the iPhone XS Max's successor adding a third lens. But Kuo's latest report suggests that both the 5.8- and 6.5-inch iPhones will add a third rear lens. The iPhone XR's successor is expected to adopt two rear cameras this year. Leaked renders show a 6.1-inch iPhone XR with a dual-lens setup housed in the same strange raised square that this year's iPhone XS is rumored to have.
Bloomberg has since come out with its own report, backing the idea that the iPhone XS Max successor will have three rear cameras — a standard lens, supported by wide-angle and zoom cameras. A laser-aided 3D camera that can sense depth and support AR apps won't arrive until 2020, according to that report.
Fitting three lens onto the back of an iPhone will be a challenge, as initial renders of what such a phone would look like are not that pretty. Apple may have come up with a solution, according to Kuo, who says the company will use a special dark coating to conceal the third lens on the back of its new phones. Apple could also use the technique on its front camera, which Kuo says is being bumped to 12 megapixels.
A leaked image of a phone case mold, based on information from inside the supply chain, shows the array on the upper left of the phone in a triangular formation. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman tweeted a picture showing all three iPhone 11 models with a similar square for the cameras.
A subsequent render from OnLeaks and CashKaro shows how the camera module could be integrated into the glass back of the iPhone 11 for a more pleasing design. And designer Hasan Kaymak created an iPhone concept video that gives us a better idea of what an iPhone with three rear cameras might look like.
