The focus of this iPhone unveiling has been very much on the camera.
At least 75 per cent of the iPhone 11 Pro presentation has been about the triple-camera system.
"We think this is the most exciting iPhone yet," Apple's Phil Schiller says. "We've made a video to tell you all about it."
The viewers on Apple's YouTube stream are beginning to drop off now. Either they've got their fill of iPhone 11, or they're getting a little tired of all these ads.
There's a brief mention of privacy, but then it's back on to talking about the camera.
"iOS 13 is developed from the ground up with privacy in mind," the video says.
As expected, the iPhone 11 Pro will cost $999 and the iPhone Pro Max will cost $1,099.
They will be available for pre-order from 5am Pacific Time this Friday and will be shipped from 20 September.
