What are the new features and specs in the highly anticipated releases? CNA Lifestyle got a hands-on look.

Apple Mania, whether you’re a fan or not, is in town again. The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max officially launched in Singapore today (Sep 20) to long queues outside the Apple store on Orchard Road that formed one day ahead of its highly anticipated release.


All three models have been available for pre-order in Singapore since Sep 13. Local telcos are also pulling out all the stops at their individual iPhone 11 launch events, including chauffeured Porsche rides and breakfast spreads for their loyal customers receiving their pre-ordered iPhones.

For a smartphone that neither has 5G nor is “foldable” like its competition, interest in Apple’s latest release shows no signs of waning. Apple devotees CNA Lifestyle spoke to were “very excited about the new processor”. Both the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro feature the new A13 Bionic, which has been billed by the company as “the fastest chip in a smartphone”.

Fans will also be happy to know that the new phones also feature a massive leap in battery life – the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are said to last four and five hours longer than their iPhone XS counterparts, respectively.

“I’m also very excited about the three cameras on the back of the phone,” said self-professed long-time iPhone fan Leanne Ong.

Indeed the most obvious change is the camera upgrade. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max boast a new triple-camera system with ultra wide, standard wide and telephoto lenses. The iPhone 11 has a dual-lens system – one zoom 12-megapixel lens, and a new 12-megapixel wide-angle option – minus the telephoto.

While the ultra wide camera promises to capture up to four times more scene- including action videos and photos, the front camera comes with an upgraded 12-megapixel sensor with a slightly wider field of view in landscape and the ability to take 4K60 video. It is a sure-fire welcome addition for selfie lovers with the ability to now shoot a self-taken video at 120 fps to produce the much talked-about new “slofie” or slow motion selfie.

With the cameras on the new phones, there also comes a number of modes including the brand new night mode (which automatically comes on when capturing low light photos) and even a High Key Mono portrait mode (which can turn your colour photos into black and white).

The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are said to feature the brightest and sharpest ever display in an iPhone, thanks to the Super Retina XDR. That means better readability and viewing anywhere, be it checking emails in bright sunlight or watching a dimly lit movie. It also offers spatial audio giving users an immersive, cinematic experience with Dolby Atmos support. And not only does it flaunt the toughest glass in a smartphone – front and back, it is also water and dust resistant for the clumsy among us.

Prices at the Apple retail store range from S$1149 for the 64GB iPhone 11 to S$1899 for the 256GB iPhone 11 Pro and S$2349 for the 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Apple uses the same pricing scheme as in 2018.

Smallest OLED = XS = 11 Pro
Medium size LCD = XR = 11
Biggest OLED = XS Max = 11 Pro Max

Therefore, those who want to spend big money either get the compact phone or the big phablet.

The Mate 30 doesn't have Google apps or the Google Play Store.

In other news heard its sold out...what is the purpose of folding and also 6 cameras?

Foldable phones are the next evolution in smartphone technology. I think it's a gimmick.

These new Apple iPhones are already sold out in China on launch day

The new Apple iPhones seem to be a hit in its most important foreign market—China. At least some of them.

After the tech giant released its three new iPhones on Thursday, some models have already sold out and customers need to wait for a few weeks for them or buy them from individual sellers at a markup.

the iphone is still the most desirable phone in prc, if the price is right. tiongs also know about rampant data mining and spying by their own gov, thus they will opt for anything that gives them privacy and security. they will also carry a huawei as a prop just in case secret police ask them what model they carry.

SHANGHAI: Apple's latest iPhone 11 range hit stores in China on Friday (Sep 20), with short queues of die-hard fans contrasting with the hundreds who camped out ahead of some previous launches.
The sales performance of the US tech giant's latest line-up is being closely watched in the world's largest smartphone market, where Apple has been losing ground to competitors with cheaper and feature-packed handsets in recent years.
The queues at the Shanghai and Beijing stores, which combined added up to few dozen customers, were in sharp contrast to previous years, when hundreds used to wait for hours outside Apple's shops to be the first to grab its latest offerings.
But much of the fanfare in China has moved online where the pre-sales for iPhone 11, priced between US$699 and US$1,099, started last week.

Analysts said they had gotten off to a better start than the last cycle a year ago. Chinese e-commerce site JD.com said day one pre-sales for the iPhone 11 series were up 480 per cent versus comparable sales for the iPhone XR last year.
Among customers that took to a store in Beijing on Friday to make a purchase in person was a programer who only gave his surname as Liu, who said he had a model from every Apple series since the 3G range.
He said he was particularly attracted to the more expensive iPhone 11 Pro, which has three cameras on the back. "When it comes to taking photos, it's better for night shots and the image is clearer," he told Reuters.
Other customers, however, said that they were concerned that the range was not enabled for fifth-generation networks, putting them behind 5G models already released by China's Huawei Technologies and smaller rival Vivo, and expressed hopes that Apple could make it happen for its next line-up.
"I think by the end of next year, especially in big cities like Beijing, 5G will be commonplace," said civil servant Liu Liu. "If they don't research this then they'll lag way behind."
