[CNET] Apple Event 2019: iPhone 11 Pro, Watch Series 5, Apple Arcade, iPad and everything announced

[Andrew]

Welcome to Apple's latest round of "What the iPhone has in store for us for 2019 and 2020!" We got updates on Apple Arcade, a new entry-level iPad for 2019, a new Watch Series 5, and of course, an iPhone 11. But the biggest deal was the iPhone 11 Pro and its big brother the Pro Max, new flagship models sporting three cameras and improved computational photography.

...

The expected mainstream iPhone 11 debuted with a dual-camera configuration and a new design in six colors. Features include Dolby Atmos audio, Wi-Fi 6, an ultra wide camera lens and enhanced camera features. You'll be able to take landscape selfies and videos and slo-mo video -- Apple referred to these as "slofies," and Twitter was not amused. It gets a power boost in the form of a new A13 Bionic processor (with a faster graphics processor). We saw a new action RPG game, Pascal's Wager from Giant Network, to show off the GPU performance and spatial audio. It isn't an Apple Arcade title, though, which is interesting.

 

The iPhone 11 starts at $699 (£729, AU$1,199).

...

Apple took the opportunity to introduce us to some new games for its upcoming all-you-can-eat game subscription service, coming later this month, which will run $4.99 per month per family, with a one-month free trial. You can get Apple TV Plus for free for a year if you buy Apple devices.

...

The company is replacing its sixth-generation iPad with a new 10.2-inch seventh-generation iPad optimized for the new iPad OS.

...

The new Watch Series 5 features a new always-on display that can drop to as low as 1Hz refresh to save power, as well as a compass and optimized faces.

Pretty big event if you're an Apple fan. I don't really care too much about their things apart from iPhones. And I'm glad they did drop the price of the iPhone in the UK, it's not by much but it's still cheaper.

While the iPhone is in very much its own little ecosystem (for the better), I still just fined it hard to swallow the price, all be it cheaper than usual.

The 11 is looking good compared to the 11 Pro, better than the XR looked to the XS - but those bezels... yeah not a fan. We'll see with independent reviewers.

I don't really mind the bezel tbqhwyfam. It is a bit on the chunky side but I'd say they're fine.
