Everything in The Apple Event 2019

APPLE EVENT - KEYNOTE (2019)

Today, Apple announced a slew of new hardware products at an event held at its corporate campus in Cupertino, California. If you missed the event, here’s what you need to know.

1. iPhone 11 Pro 
2. Watch Series 5
3.  Apple Arcade 
4. Apple TV Plus
5. iPad 

We got updates on the new gaming system by Apple called Apple Arcade, a new entry-level iPad for 2019, a new Watch Series 5, and of course, an iPhone 11 but this time it was improved for the professionals in the form of a pro version as the iPhone 11 Pro and a maxed-out pro version as the iPhone11 Pro Max, new flagship models sporting three cameras and improved computational photography. And, more clarity on the Apple TV+ and it's subscription services.

iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max

Starting off with the most awaited iPhone (as suggested by the company) 

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 selfies -- Apple referred to these as "slofies." 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. Apple has somewhat improved the pricing of the base variant of iPhone 11 as it starts from ₹64,900 MRP

The iPhone 11 Pro and its big twin the Pro Max have "Super Retina XDR" OLED displays that are based on the Pro XDR Display that has similar specs but is not OLED. It has the fidget-spinner-looking tri-camera setup, a new matte finish, and uses the A13 Bionic as well. Apple claims longer battery life despite all that. It comes bundled with the fast-charge adapter.

The cameras are all new and now include an ultra-wide lens -- for Apple's claim of a 4x zoom range -- with edge-to-edge focus pixels, and Apple's improved its image processing. Apple was also very proud of its new Deep Fusion technology, which drives its improved Smart HDR multishot mode. 

An interesting thing to notice is that Apple drops "X" and "R" from the latest iPhone 11 which may be like or disliked by some individuals.
