This new iPhone will most likely be the "perfected" version of the iPhone X design.

If you never bought the iPhone X from 2017, or the iPhone XR or XS models from last year, this year's iPhone 11 is probably going to be the best version of all of those phones.

Based on what we know about the phone's design, the iPhone 11 is expected to have most of the same characteristics of those iPhones, including an edge-to-edge display with a notch, and a big camera bump on the back. Next year is said to be a completely different iPhone — so this should be the last hurrah of the iPhone X design.

The new phone is rumored to have a few differentiating features — like a much larger camera bump to accommodate a third lens, and a new mute switch — but for the most part, it sounds like this phone will be like a refined version of the past two years of iPhone. It's kind of like how the iPhone 8 was the "perfected" version of the iPhone 6 designs, which remained pretty consistent during the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 years in between.
