The new phone features extra cameras as well as a new look on the outside. It comes in a variety of new colours, including green and purple.
Introducing the new phone, Apple focused on the imaging abilities of the new device. Though it received a speed bump, the majority of the announcement focused on the variety of new camera features that have been added to the iPhone 11.
But despite those speed boosts, the iPhone 11 will have an hour more battery than the iPhone XR that it replaces in Apple's line-up. The XR was already Apple's longest-lasting iPhone.
It has two cameras on the back, including a wide-angle lens that allows the phone to be able to capture twice as much as previous models.
That same camera also includes a night mode, which Apple claims will make it far better at taking pictures in the dark.
And it features a variety of different video features.
On the inside, the iPhone 11 includes the A13 Bionic, Apple's latest mobile chip. It performs better than any other phone, Apple claimed, and will allow vastly improved performance.
Apple said there was a variety of new iPhone features that it not have time to discuss, including a better flash, a faster Face ID sensor and improved Wi-Fi.
The phone will sell for $699, Apple said, cheaper than the most recent iPhones.
It is expected to be followed by the iPhone 11 Pro, the more expensive version of the handset.

Now we're getting the worldwide premiere for the trailer for See.
It's a dystopic vision of the future where humanity has lost the power of sight.
But, "after so many years, the power of sight has returned".
Not really my cup of tea, but nor was Game of Thrones, and that seemed to do alright.
The first shows will be available from 1 November in over 100 countries.
Like Apple Arcade, it will cost $4.99 per month "for the whole family".
If you buy a new iPhone or iPad, you get one year for free.
"This is crazy," Tim Cook says.
(There'd been a lot of questions about how much Apple TV+ would cost. Since it was first rumoured, Disney has got out with its own Disney+, which costs only $7, and includes a lot more than what Apple is offering. That's presumably why they've gone relatively cheap, and is offering it for free.)
Apple's Greg Jozwiak comes on stage to tell us about a new iPad.
"We're replacing the sixth generation iPad with this... the new seventh generation iPad," he says.
The YouTube livestream is up to 1.5 million viewers currently watching, by the way. That's nearly half as many people as those who watched the 2019 season finale of Love Island.
