Apple unveils the iPhone 11

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 11.

The new phone features extra cameras as well as a new look on the outside. It comes in a variety of new colours, including green and purple.

Introducing the new phone, Apple focused on the imaging abilities of the new device. Though it received a speed bump, the majority of the announcement focused on the variety of new camera features that have been added to the iPhone 11.

But despite those speed boosts, the iPhone 11 will have an hour more battery than the iPhone XR that it replaces in Apple's line-up. The XR was already Apple's longest-lasting iPhone.

It has two cameras on the back, including a wide-angle lens that allows the phone to be able to capture twice as much as previous models.

That same camera also includes a night mode, which Apple claims will make it far better at taking pictures in the dark.

And it features a variety of different video features.

On the inside, the iPhone 11 includes the A13 Bionic, Apple's latest mobile chip. It performs better than any other phone, Apple claimed, and will allow vastly improved performance.

Apple said there was a variety of new iPhone features that it not have time to discuss, including a better flash, a faster Face ID sensor and improved Wi-Fi.

The phone will sell for $699, Apple said, cheaper than the most recent iPhones.

It is expected to be followed by the iPhone 11 Pro, the more expensive version of the handset.

So what's the battery life like with all this new technology?

One hour better than the iPhone XR apparently.

It's not entirely clear what this one is demonstrating. There's a baby and a candle and someone who dropped their iPhone down a sofa...

Aha, the tagline at the end is "All-day battery life".

It's the first iPhone that Apple has called Pro. 

It comes in some very professional colours.
