Apple launched three new iPhones last year and it is looking to do same in 2019 as well. One of iPhone 11s, possibly iPhone 11 Max, will come with three rear cameras, reports Bloomberg. This corroborates a recent WSJ report that claimed something similar for highest-end iPhone model this year and falls in line with an @Onleaks render that seemingly showed off this triple camera setup for first time.
current-generation iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max both have same dual rear cameras. iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, in fact, share many hardware features with each or. biggest difference comes in form of size. While iPhone XS is a 5.8-inch iPhone, iPhone XS Max has a larger 6.5-inch display. Should iPhone 11 Max pack three cameras, and smaller iPhone 11 sport two or less, it would set greater differentiation – beyond just size -- between two upcoming iPhones.

Although past rumours hinted at time-of-flight functionality, Bloomberg report says third sensor in iPhone XS successor will be wide-angle and will be also able to “capture more pixels so Apple software could, for example, automatically repair a video or photo to fit in a subject that may have been accidentally cut off from initial shot.” Apple is also said to be reworking on its Live Photos feature with double current length.
Apple also seems to be testing versions of iPhone 2019 that ditch its Lightning port for USB -C charging and while it isn’t clear if Apple will go ahe with this, this year, it leaves us with something to look forward to even more since Cuperti may t be looking to update design of next iPhone. A faster processor and possibly faster Face ID will be also in cards.

Previously, WSJ h reported that Apple is looking to refresh iPhone XR with a new iPhone 11R model that would pack a dual camera system. iPhone XR tably has same primary rear camera as iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, but absence of a secondary camera means it can’t do telephoto and neir can it shoot portraits of anything else but humans. With two cameras, iPhone 11R could become an even more compelling pack considering that it is still expected to cost less than iPhone 11 and iPhone 11R. Apple will reportedly stick with LCD again, which means OLED for iPhone 11R like iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max. Apple is rumoured to go all OLED only in 2019, which is also year when it officially takes 5G route.
