  • Apple is expected to announce a new lineup of smartphones in September.
  • We have a good idea of what to expect from Apple's next iPhones, which we're hearing could be called "iPhone 11," "iPhone 11 Pro," and "iPhone 11 Pro Max."
  • By all accounts, the biggest difference between last year's phones and the iPhone 11 will be the camera system, which appears to be getting an upgrade in the form of a third, wide-angle lens.
  • Ask any smartphone owner with an ultra-wide-angle camera: It's a must-have feature these days.

The iPhone 11 is rumored to be the follow-up the iPhone XR; its rear-camera system is getting an upgrade from one lens to two. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, which are said to succeed the iPhone XS and XS Max, are said to be getting a more significant camera upgrade, from two lenses to three.

So, what's so interesting about that third lens?

Here's what we know about the rumored cameras in the iPhone 11 lineup, and why they sound like such a significant upgrade.
