With just five months to go before Apple’s next-generation iPhone 11 series is announced, leaks have definitely begun to pick up pace in recent weeks. For Apple fans, that’s both good news and bad news. The good news is that hardcore Apple fans love to learn about what their favorite company is up to before anyone else. The bad news is that their favorite company might not be up to anything too impressive in 2019 when it comes to new iPhone hardware. According to everything we’ve seen so far, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 11 series will use the same overall design that iPhones have been using since the iPhone X debuted in 2017. In fact, it appears as though we’re looking at a situation that’s similar to the iPhone 7, when Apple used the same iPhone design for a third consecutive year and only changed the camera on the back.

In the case of the iPhone 11, it might end up looking identical to the iPhone X and iPhone XS on the front, but the back is shaping up to be quite different. Rather than a somewhat small camera bump that houses Apple’s dual-lens rear camera array, the iPhone 11 will apparently have a massive camera bump with three camera lenses and an LED flash. It gives us hope that Apple is planning a major camera upgrade for its new iPhones in 2019, which is great news because Apple’s iPhones are falling way behind leaders like Huawei and Google in the camera department. Now, a new leak seemingly firms up the camera design we’ve seen numerous times in the iPhone 11 leaks, which suggests just about everything else we’ve seen so far is likely accurate as well.

Just last week we saw a schematics leak that supposedly showed an illustration of the iPhone 11’s chasis. The graphic appeared to be displayed on a computer at a factory where the iPhone 11 is being manufactured, and it showed a series of welding points that show where the midplate will be attached to the stainless steel frame that is positioned around the outer edge of the phone.

Here’s the schematic in question:

Take a close look at that midplate in the center of the iPhone 11 chasis illustration. Now, check out the following image that was posted on Chinese microblogging network Weibo on Thursday morning:

The image was posted along with the iPhone 11 render shown at the top of this post, and it appears to show the very same iPhone midplate illustrated in the leak from last week. If it’s legitimate, the part was likely stolen from a Foxconn factory, and it tells us a few things about the iPhone 11’s design.

First, we can see a big hole at the center where the iPhone 11’s wireless charging coil will go, though it hardly comes as a surprise that the handset will support wireless charging. In fact, the iPhone 11 is rumored to support two-way wireless charging so it can also refuel other devices, just like Samsung’s new Galaxy S10.

More important than the wireless charging coil, of course, is what appears to be space for the triple-lens camera array in the top corner of the midplate. It’s shaped just like the iPhone 11 camera setup we’ve seen leak a few times now, and it appears to confirm the bulbous square camera bump we’ve seen pictured time and time again. In addition to the three lenses, there’s also space for an LED flash as well as another sensor in the bottom-right corner.

Apple’s new iPhone 11 series is expected to launch in September just like all of Apple’s iPhones since the iPhone 4S, so we’ll see plenty more leaks before Apple finally makes the phones official.

HYPE ABOUT S9’s BRILLIANT CAMERA
(All we need to know that looks familiar to the S8 of last year.)

There’s a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S9 that feels very familiar from last year’s S8.

The phones have the same battery capacity, same screen size and resolution and are almost indistinguishable in terms of design. If you want to know all the things that make the S9 a superlative phone, you can read any S8 review from a year ago.They’re almost the same phone.

Samsung’s whole shtick around this latest release is that it has reimagined the camera. It’ll be hoping that these changes are so significant that we’ll overlook the fact that the guts of the phone haven’t moved on much in the last year. In today’s phone battle, the camera is the only ground left.

The S9 has a 12-megapixel dual pixel sensor, much like the S8, but this time Samsung has added a dual aperture feature that is supposed to boost the camera’s performance in low light conditions. When light is low, the camera automatically selects a wider aperture to let in loads of light, but automatically switches back to the narrower setting in normal light conditions.

It also takes 12 shots for every photograph, combining those images to reduce the noise that is often present in darker photos. I am not convinced that these low light boosts actually improve photographs. Photos taken in auto mode look good but zoom in a little closer and the edges look softer and less detailed.

Although Samsung says that its dual aperture system helps the S9 camera let in 28 per cent more light than the S8, I think it looks like the S9 is working overtime to post-process low-light shots to remove noise and smooth out colors.

Switching to a more conventional 4:3 aspect ratio is easy enough and also lets you squeeze maximum resolution out of every photograph. The S9 is also the first Samsung phone to have super slow-mo that records at 960 frames per second, stretching out 0.2 seconds in real time to six seconds on video.

In most light conditions super slow-motion results are extremely grainy, and to my opinion almost unusable.

On the biometric front, the S9 and S9+ introduce “intelligent scan” for the first time. In around one out of every five unlock attempts, intelligent scan gave up trying to recognize me after a few seconds forcing unlocking the phone by entering a pattern.

All the things that made the S8 a great phone are still – it’s got a huge screen, top-notch camera and a sick design.
