It’s a bit bizarre that there’s already so much controversy surrounding an iPhone that’s going to look almost exactly like its predecessors. In fact, if you hold an iPhone XS and an iPhone 11 next to each other next month following the 2019 model’s release, the to phones will be completely indistinguishable from the front. While Android phone makers around the world have come up with a wide range of exciting new all-screen designs for their smartphones, Apple is stuck in the past this year. It might seem odd to call a design introduced in 2017 “the past,” but that’s how quickly things are moving right now in the smartphone business. Every vendor is in a race to achieve a true all-screen design, where 100% of a smartphone’s front side is occupied by the display. While some Android phone makers have now managed to achieve screen-to-body ratios that climb into the mid-90% range, Apple is still stuck in the low-80% range because of the huge notch at the top of the iPhone’s display. Apple is working toward releasing all-screen smartphones just like all of its rivals, but in 2019 it will use the exact same screen design for the third consecutive year.
The decision to reuse the same iPhone design yet again in 2019 might be disappointing to some Apple fans out there, but it wasn’t such a deal back in 2016 when Apple released the iPhone 7 series. That phone looked exactly like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s, and yet it led to the biggest quarter of iPhone sales that Apple has ever recorded. And just like the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple’s new iPhone 11 series smartphones will introduce one key hardware change that already has people talking. Now, it turns out that this big change might be coming to Apple’s iPad lineup as well later this year.
