Secret iPhone 11 design with THREE cameras revealed in stunning 3D concept images
APPLE'S top secret 2019 iPhone may have been revealed early – including the handset's rumoured triple-camera setup.
A 3D concept render of the device has turned up online, and could potentially show off the final design of the long-awaited iPhone 11.

Apple won't officially unveil the new iPhone until September, but plenty of information about the phone has already been leaked.
That's allowed popular YouTube Channel to make a 3D computer model of the phone.
Of course, it's entirely possible that this concept looks nothing like Apple's final iPhone.
But there's every chance it's correct – and could be our best early glimpse of the 2019 iPhone.

So what's new?
The most obvious change is on the back of the phone, which hosts the iPhone's main camera.
This concept shows Apple adding a triple-camera module on the back of the handset – which would be a first for the iPhone.
It's not as farfetched as it sounds, either.
The Sun recently spoke to mobile expert Dan Ives, a top industry watcher who believes we'll see three cameras on the back of the new iPhone.
"This next phone will all be about triple rear-camera capabilities, with enhanced optical lens capabilities a major selling point," said Dan, a Managing Director at Wedbush Securities.
"There could also be significantly enhanced face recognition technology and some other hardware/design enhancements to catalyse upgrades."

While a triple-camera system might sound wacky, it can actually bring major benefits to photography – and your Instagram game.
For instance, having two cameras on the new iPhone XS lets the handset sense depth more accurately.
This allows Apple to offer augmented reality features – like realistic Snapchat filters, and better versions of games like Pokémon Go.
This also makes professional-grade Portrait Mode selfies possible, where the subject is in focus but the background is blurred.
Adding a third camera makes it even easier to sense depth, potentially improving all of these features.

But you can also have a different range of lenses, like wide-angle, telephoto, zoom, or even macro – for shooting objects up close.
Sadly, we're lacking specific details about how Apple may use its triple-camera set up.
In any case, Apple hasn't even confirmed that the iPhone will boast three cameras, so take all rumours with a pinch of salt for now.

We're also expecting Samsung to drop its upcoming iPhone rival – the Galaxy S10 – in early February.
This could land alongside the Samsung Galaxy X, a long-awaited folding phone that flips out into a tablet.
And we're also expecting another iPhone competitor soon, too: the Sony Xperia XZ4, potentially due at February's MWC 2019 tech show in Barcelona.
