iPhone 11 rumors: Price, specs, features and everything else we know

As Samsung leads us toward 5G, bilateral chargingand foldable screens, can Apple keep up?

We probably won't see Apple's next iPhone -- possibly called the iPhone 11 -- until this fall, but 2019 is already a game-changing year for phones. 

We're at the dawn of 5G, the next generation of cellular technology, which promises to increase connectivity speeds by an order of magnitude. Samsung's Galaxy Fold is due out... sometime (with many other foldables right behind), including Xiaomi's phone with two foldable screens. And we're seeing phones with advanced camera technology on store shelves with even higher-resolution imaging on the way.

And as far as we know, the next generation iPhone will have none of it.

With all of the biggest players set to debut 5G phones in 2019, the signals suggest that Apple won't join them until 2020 -- at the earliest. With the company still working to bring OLED displays to the entirety of its lineup, foldable screens don't seem to be a realisticroute on Apple's near-term roadmap, despite the company having filed some interesting patents. There are some rumors about laser-guided, AR-ready, 3D cameras being integrated with Face ID in the future, but the consensus is that we'll see only incremental steps for Apple's camera technology in the next iPhone.

But, still, this is Apple. Despite signs of slumpingperformance at the end of 2018, it still made $37 billion in revenue from selling nearly 50 millionphones from July through September last year. The iPhone remains a premium productsold by a premium brand. So we can't count out the possibility of Apple surprising us this fall with revolutionary features or distinctive aesthetics.    

We'll be keeping an eye on the company's WorldwideDevelopers Conference, which kicks off on June3, scoping for new clues. But for now, details remain scarce. Apple has not responded to repeated requests for comment. As we count down the months until the company introduces the next set of iPhones, we'll collect the most interesting rumors right here. Check back often.
