Apple Event 2019: Here’s Everything Apple Launched, Including The 'Boba iPhone 11'

The highly-anticipated annual Apple event finally took place in the wee hours of 11 September (Malaysian timing), where we were finally given a glimpse of what Apple has in store for us this time around.

A few months back, many tech wizards revealed that Apple will be launching a three-camera iPhone, which will very likely remind you a lot about boba tea and trigger those with trypophobia (the fear of irregular patterns, clusters of small holes, or bumps).

True enough, the three-camera iPhone was launched along with a bevy of other iProducts.

Let’s take a look at all the products launched during the event.

#1 iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch all-screen Liquid Retina, a dual camera (Ultra-wide and Wide) with a longer all-day battery life.

It comes in six new gorgeous colours – purple, green, yellow, black, white and PRODUCT(RED) and each iPhone is equipped with the A13 Bionic chip which is the fastest and most powerful chip ever in any smartphone. The iPhone also has the dual sim feature.

Price: Starting from RM3,399

#2 iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max

Both the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with the “longest battery life ever in an iPhone” and a new Super Retina XDR display, which has the brightest display ever in an iPhone. But what caught everyone’s eye the most is its triple-camera system at the back (Ultra-wide, Wide, and Telephoto), which, in our opinion, isn’t very eye-pleasing and has helped awareness on what trypophobia. Both models come in four shades and have a textured matte glass back and polished stainless steel band.
