iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max: 6 Things You Did not Know About New Apple Phones

Apple's press event, where he debuted on iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, Came and went Tuesday. And while a lot of noise has been made about handsets scary camera configurations, the 11 Pro polarizing Midnight Green color and the odious called "slofie" There were some other iPhone 11 features that flew under the radar.

It is understandable that these details have been neglected – either Apple has not explicitly explained his speech, or the features, although useful, are not really "sexy". Now that the dust has dissipated since Tuesday 's hubbub, we can take a closer look at some of the small but interesting details of the iPhone 11 that you may have missed.

The iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have Wi-Fi 6

Similar to the Galaxy S10 Plus, the new iPhones come with the next generation of wireless networks called Wi-Fi 6. CNET's editor, Ry Crist, says it"Devices that support Wi-Fi 6 still speak the same Wi-Fi language to talk to each other – they just speak faster and more efficiently than before."

Compared to Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 "supports faster maximum transfer speeds, allows devices to send more information to each transmission, to routers and other access points to simultaneously manage more devices, helps sensors and other gadgets planning transmissions and facilitates better and faster performance in dense and overcrowded environments such as airports and stadiums. "

But you will probably not see any benefit on your iPhone 11 at the moment. Wi-Fi 6 is not yet officially certified and Wi-Fi 6 routers are expensive. And even if you have one, your maximum speeds only reach the chances of your service provider. Think of this treat rather than the future of your phone, instead of an immediate benefit.

They have an Ultra Wideband chip

Apple did not insist too much on this feature during the presentation, but she would like to post it on her website. The company has designed a new chip called "U1" for "Space Awareness", which helps iPhones to find other iPhones more accurately when they are nearby.

According to Apple, this improves AirDrop, a service that allows iPhone users to quickly share files with nearby iPhones. As of September 30, with the release of iOS 13.1, the new chip will allow you to "point your iPhone to someone else, and AirDrop will give priority to this device so you can share files faster. "

Apple added that "this is just the beginning". Many believe that the U1 chip is laying the foundation for a long-rumored Apple tile taster.

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max comes with 18W USB-C chargers

Although fast charging has been available for years for Android users, this feature will now be available to iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max users. Previously, Apple included 5-watt chargers in the box, but the most premium iPhones would have an 18-watt USB-C charger and a USB-C-to-Lightning cable that came with the phone. The new charger apparently would charge the iPhone 11 Pro up to 50% in 30 minutes, according to Apple.

They are heavier this year

While the iPhone 11 and the iPhone XR weigh the same weight, the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are a bit heavier than their counterparts in 2018 (respectively the iPhone XS and XS Max). As you can see in the table below, the 11 Pro weighs 11 grams (about 0.4 ounces) more, while the 11 Pro Max weighs 18 grams more.

Even if you may not notice it in real life, especially if you do not have it in every hand, CNET's editor, Scott Stein, said he noticed that they felt more dense than last year's models during its brief handling. The extra weight is probably due to the extra lens of the camera and the bigger battery.

The latest Apple OS, iOS 13, will be available for download on September 19th. And since the iPhone 11 phones will ship on Sept. 20, you can be sure that they will have iOS 13 right out of the box.

An update for iOS 13, called iOS 13.1, will be released 11 days later, on September 30th. We do not know exactly what this little update will include, although we know that iOS 13.1 will enable the activation of the aforementioned U1 system. AirDrop function.

iPhone 11 says goodbye to the 3D Touch for good

Apple began phasing out its 3D Touch feature last year, starting with the iPhone XR. Started in 2015 on the iPhone 6S, 3D Touch allowed you to access menu options and additional commands by firmly pressing your finger against the screen. Now, however, the feature is missing on the three new iPhone 11s.

Instead, the company replaced 3D Touch with Haptic Touch. Haptic Touch works in much the same way, but instead of having to press harder on the screen, you'll simply need to press and hold the item. This confirms the rumors circulating since last year, that Apple would abandon the technology for its 2018 or 2019 iPhone range, according to MacRumors.
