iPhone 11 Pro – what is it?
There have always been two types of iPhone buyers: people who want a new iPhone, and people who need the new iPhone.
But Apple has always struggled to arrange its iPhone range like that. Instead, for years "better" models were simply bigger.
We saw inklings of a solution last year, and now we finally have the answer. An iPhone, and an iPhone Pro.
The new iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are turbo-charged versions of this year's formidable (and great value) iPhone 11.

They cost a lot more, but they're also aimed at Apple super-fans and the gadget-savvy.
iPhone 11 Pro design – what's new?
Let's dive straight into the design.
Like all models since the iPhone 6, the iPhone Pro has a familiar curved-rectangle design.
It's a popular look across the industry, and it's tough as nails – both in terms of looks, but also literal toughness.
Apple claims the iPhone 11 Pro has the "toughest glass ever in a smartphone". And it's now water-resistant to depths of four metres for up to 30 minutes.
Cool, and genuinely useful given the starting price for this handset is £1,049. Damage isn't just costly any more – it's month-ruining.
The most obvious exterior change is the triple-camera set-up, which is squared off along with a flash on the phone's back.
According to the internet, opinion is split – as ever.
But I like it. It shows the technical chops of the camera plainly, and highlights the fact you've just forked out over a grand for a phone. Why buy a Lamborghini if it looks like a Ford from the outside?
The "iPhone" branding has been scrubbed from the back of the phone.
This is a little jarring at first, but it's classic Apple minimalism – and fits the brand well.
Plus who actually needs their iPhone to say "iPhone", when there's a huge Apple logo stamped across the back?
Lastly, there are four colours available, including Black, Silver and Gold.
The fourth colour is new and is named Midnight Green.
I've always been a sceptic of phones coloured anything other than black, but Midnight Green is surprisingly beautiful.
It's dark and matte, and looks really sophisticated. It also appears silvery or grey depending on the light.
In a surprise twist, Midnight Green is actually my colour of choice for the iPhone Pro. I can't believe it either.
