Apple iPhone 11, Pro and Max price and release date
Besides the upgraded specs and new features inundation that just arrived with the new iPhone 11, Pro and Max, two of the burning questions succeeding each announcement are “when are they launching and how much are they going to cost?”
We are going to try to answer both, but lets just say that Apple delivered at least one big surprise with the iPhone 11 trio pricing this time around, and it was towards the pleasant band of the spectrum when it comes to modern phone pricing grief.
For years now, Apple has been announcing new iPhones at its Special Event in September. There was no escaping that tradition, and today;s announcement will be followed by a September 20 release.
Let's not forget that, according to an alleged Verizon Wireless marketing calendar for 2019, which was leaked by Evan Blass way back in late spring, we knew to be looking at a late-September launch for the iPhone 11 family. Here’s a table of all previous iPhone announcements and launches, leading up to the iPhone 11:

Apple iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max prices
As far as pricing goes, considering that the 2018 models started at $1000 and $1100 for the iPhone XS and XS Max, respectively, their successors are going for exactly that, and even have the same 64GB starting storage. Bummer.
With the iPhone 11, however, Apple pulled off the pleasant surprise of lowering the launch price with 50 bucks compared to the starting price of its predecessor. Sweet, especially if you consider all the upgrades that went into the "affordable" 2019 iPhone.
