CUPERTINO, Calif.-Apple on Tuesday announced the iPhone 11, the latest device in Apple's mega-popular smartphone series and the follow-up to last year's iPhone XR. The phone's price starts at $699.

The new device comes in an anodized aluminum and glass body that Apple claims is its most durable phone design to date. The iPhone 11 comes in six new colors: purple, white, yellow, green, black, and red. It comes with a 6.1-inch version of Apple's "liquid Retina" display and improved spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support.

The iPhone 11 also features a new and updated A13 Bionic chip. Unsurprisingly, Apple says the latter will include the fastest CPU and GPU in any smartphone-we'll have to benchmark that for ourselves, but given the top-shelf power of the existing A12 Bionic, the new chip should still be more than fast enough for most people's needs.
