All the three cameras on the back are expected to adopt larger lenses, feature bilateral wireless charging and come bundled with Apple 18W USB charger and USB-C to Lightning cable. The iPhone XI and iPhone XI Max are expected to be joined by iPhone XIR that is also said to come with triple rear cameras, but it could stick to LCD screen.
