APPLE

• The new iPhone 11 Pro features three camera sensors that allow you to take better images while zoomed in, at night, and with a wider angle.
• New chip technology powers better machine learning applications in the phone, resulting in crazy new video capabilities and more crisp and dramatic photos.
• Despite the amazing specs, Twitter has done its thing and started pumping out memes that poke fun at the strange camera array on the new iPhone.

Not one, not two, but three new camera sensors are on the back of the brand-new $999 iPhone 11 Pro and $1,099 iPhone11 Pro Max handsets.

Does the camera look a little bit like a tarantula with three eyes? Yeah. Did the Internet immediately go to town and make memes about the camera? Yes. Are those memes funny? Yes.

Is this thing an absolute monster when it comes to photo power? Hell yes.

As soon as the leaks came out a few weeks ago—featuring renderings of what the new iPhone could look like if it had three cameras as rumored—the Twitterverse exploded with some, er, creative takes on the new phone, announced this afternoon at Apple's special event in Cupertino, California.

Sure, those three sensors might make the new phone look a bit like a googly-eyed monster, but don't let that distract you from the incredible specs.

This sucker packs a punch between an Ultra Wide lens that lets you capture more of what's in front of you in the frame (perfect for when you can't back up any further to capture a shot), a Wide lens, and a Telephoto camera that allows you to zoom in two times further than ever before.

But the magic really starts to happen when you fuse the data from all three sensors. This lets you take far better low-light shots and professional-grade cinematic video. 

Video is at its highest quality, ever, in fact. Each camera lens can record 4K video at 60 frames per second. The new iOS 13 software introduces new editing tools that make it easier to toggle between footage captured on each sensor. There's even a view where you can see all four screens (including a front camera that lets you take slow motion selfies) at once in a 2x2 grid.

Triple the cameras also means better portraits. You can select wide or telephoto framing while capturing people in an image, creating a wider field of view, which is optimal for shots of multiple people. Plus, the telephoto camera has an aperture that allows 40 percent more light in, resulting in richer images.
