Where Android phone makers love to flaunt specs and figures, Apple has traditionally been more secretive about the technical aspects of its iPhones. It prefers to talk in hours of battery life or how much faster its processor is compared to the previous generation. As such, it's often up to sleuths and repair technicians to find those out, like these iPhone 11 Pro Max details coming courtesy of third-party sources.

Apple has a rather complicated relationship with its suppliers. In order to prevent a single company from strong-arming it into some deal, Apple plays the field by using two suppliers for key components, at least those that it can't make itself. That rather messy situation reached its height during the Apple v. Qualcomm lawsuit, forcing Apple to favor Intel's LTE modems. It seems that has continued to this year's iPhone 11 generation and while it might change next year, Apple might still have the last laugh.

Apple's newest batch of iPhones haven't even begun shipping out yet, but we're already onto talking about the next releases in Apple's product lineup.

It seems, for instance, that the next iPad will have something in common with the iPhone 11 Pro.

The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max were all released into the internet review universe today all at once. The fact that these devices are all very similar in basic keyword-search terms should give you an idea of how important it is to Apple that you see them all as the same single overpowering force. The decision, you'll likely find as a consumer, will not feel like an "if" sort of thing, but a "which iPhone 11 should I buy" sort of thing.

Apple has splashed a further $250 million in investment into Corning, more than doubling the amount it has pumped into the toughened glass-maker from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund. The new award follows a $200 million grant back in mid-2017, and comes amid the launch of the iPhone 11 Pro - and as the resilience of glass in smartphones becomes all the more important.

Today we're looking at the most expensive, large, and extravagant iPhone ever released, the iPhone 11 Pro Max. This device was first revealed by Apple earlier this week as one of two iPhone 11 Pro models, the other without the "Max" in the title, sporting a slightly smaller display. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display, three cameras at its back, and (with its most decked-out configuration) could be the most expensive iPhone ever offered by Apple.

Earlier this year the iPhone 11 series was rumored to have access to two-way charging via its backside wireless charging panel. This system was rumored to work with Qi-standard technology, much like earlier iterations of the iPhone - the first generations with wireless charging tech. Today an insider tip suggests that the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max may still have this two-way charging tech, just "disabled" via software.

Huawei's Honor brand posted a strange subtweet this week just after Apple's iPhone 11 Pro event. In this social media post on Twitter, Honor India (@HiHonorIndia) suggested that "Pro photography shouldn't cost an [arm] and a [leg]. Or a kidney." As you'll see in the image below, they used emoji imagery to illustrate their point.

Of all Apple's surprises at its big 2019 iPhone event yesterday, the one I was least expecting was that I'd fall for a dark green phone. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max proved controversial from the first leaks, the aesthetic balance of including a new triple camera array without making a smartphone look, well, ugly ending up being a very hot topic indeed.

There might be some wisdom to Apple's once-a-year launch cadence and seemingly more modest upgrades year after year. Android OEMs launch twice a year or more, making the gaps between each flagship model smaller and the features so much closer to each other.

When Apple finally does make big changes, it makes huge changes. That happened with the iPhone X and we might be seeing the same revolution with the iPhone 11 and especially the iPhone 11 Pro. While the new camera bump is the center of attraction, it's not the only reason iPhone fans and users will be thinking hard about upgrading to this year's latest.
