iPhone 11
Dual cameras with an ultra wide lens and Night mode at $699.
Overview
The iPhone 11 took the XR's design and made it more capable. A second rear camera with an ultra wide lens, with a 120-degree field of view, let users fit far more into the frame, and the main sensor got Night mode, which captured bright low-light photos automatically. The front camera was boosted to 12 megapixels and could record slow-motion selfies, quickly nicknamed slofies.
The A13 Bionic chip improved on the A12, bringing better efficiency that helped the battery last an hour longer than the XR. The U1 ultra-wideband chip added spatial awareness, and Wi-Fi 6 raised wireless speeds. The glass back had a new matte camera plateau, and colors included purple, green and a pale yellow.
Apple kept the price at $699 for the 64GB model, and it later became the entry model after the iPhone XR. It stayed on sale for three years and sold in large volumes.
Why it mattered
It made ultra wide photography and Night mode standard on the mainstream iPhone.
