Indian blog CashKaro has collaborated with OnLeaks to share new renders of the so-called "iPhone XI" and "iPhone XI Max," providing a side-by-side comparison of the expected successors to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Both new iPhones are expected to stick with the same 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED displays as the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, but the thickness of each device is said to increase to 8.1mm and 7.8mm respectively as previously reported. Both the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are 7.7mm thick.
Apple's depth measurement does not include the camera bump, so with the slight reduction in size expected there, the change in overall thickness between 2018 iPhones and 2019 iPhones may be negligible.

As widely rumored by now, the new iPhones are expected to feature a triple-lens rear camera system in a triangular arrangement. While the camera bump has a larger square-shaped design, it appears to be less protruding, as the rear panel of each device is said to be formed out of a "single piece of glass."
The renders also suggest that 2019 versions of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will feature a redesigned circular-shaped mute switch within a pill-shaped cutout, similar to the one on older-generation iPads.

Beyond that, the renders suggest that 2019 iPhones will be similar to 2018 iPhones in many ways, complete with the same notch, bezels, stainless steel frame, Lightning connector, speaker grilles, and volume buttons. This would be more or less the same design as Apple has used since the iPhone X in 2017.
In addition to the static images, CashKaro and OnLeaks teamed up to create a 360-degree video of the renders:
Apple should unveil its next-generation iPhone lineup in September as usual alongside Apple Watch Series 5 models and other announcements. While not shown here, a new iPhone XR is also widely expected with a dual-lens rear camera system, up from a single lens on the current model.

I don’t have a problem with the black back version at all, but the silver mock-up is not good. That mock-up should have an all-black camera bump (which still wouldn’t be as appealing to me as the all-black back however) and the Apple logo is obviously too high in both renders.
Iphone's UI isn't mindblowing but it's just right, which is an amazing accomplishment in design.
But until the X the bodies looked like higher end plastic toys, glorified ipods. Same with the early ipads, imacs, macbooks.

That's good because they weren't intended to look like technical gadgets. Can't argue with success.

The X and XI should have stuck with the circle for the rear camera.
What's the point of the mute switch? Can't that be done in software? They should just get rid of it. Next casualty after the headphone jack.
Seriously apple, stop adding cameras.
I like them. Just not that much. It doesn't add an incredible amount of value to the device, it adds an incredible amount of cost. I would prefer you add storage instead.
I'm really beginning to see the Xs as the best phone, but I still hate the camera bump.
This year it's going to be all about the camera for me. If it blows me away I'm in. If not, it's X for another year and maybe a newer pixel as my work device.
Edit: usb c too. Lightning is no sale.
Because interoperability and fast charging. There's a lot of software limits on the iPad today in terms of what hardware is supported, but that could all change with the next OS release.I don’t care either way but if USB-C isn’t superior why did they make the switch on the iPad Pro?
My money is on "Marzipan" meaning just as much of the iPad getting Mac app and platform features as it means iPad apps can be deployed on the Mac.
Yeah (for their biggest size phones S10 plus v XS max) the 33 grams (1.16 oz) is really a deal breaker!! (The smaller sizes are less than 1oz difference) I'd be willing to bet you can't even tell the difference if you did a "blind" weight test (6.17oz vs 7.34oz)I was really hoping they reduce the weight! I held a Samsung Galaxy S10+ recently and it felt fantastic. So sleek and light. I want to get the Max version for my next phone, but the heavy weight keeps me away.
I fixed your quote for you!In my opinion it's not worth the price over the Xr...

LolIt’s got to a point where the only thing Apple are redesigning is the mute switch
Finally a comment I can agree with!!Fine, whatever. Just get the price down
I started to say something similar but figured the MR gestapo would send me a nice message telling me how I shouldn't make such comments lol. 33 gram difference between the s10 plus and the xs max... the smaller sizes are less than an ounce.This is a joke, right? If the slight difference in weight is stopping your purchase, I’d dare say you have a serious health issue that needs to be addressed.
Lol
