Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

Apple Testing Television Set Prototypes, 'Isn't a Formal Project Yet'
Continuing the flurry of Apple television rumors in recent days following CEO Tim Cook's brief comments on the topic as part of an interview on Rock Center last week, The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is indeed testing designs for future television set products. The report adds little to existing rumors, but does indicate that work is continuing and keeps the topic fresh in the public's mind.Officials at some of Apple's suppliers, who declined to be named, said the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has been working on testing a few designs for a large-screen high-resolution TV.The report notes that Apple has been testing television set prototypes for a number of years and that the company tests many different prototype products that never come to market, making clear that a launch is not imminent and that Apple could ultimately scrap its plans.
Two people said Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which assembles the iPhone and iPad, has been collaborating with Japan's Sharp Corp. on the design of the new television.
"It isn't a formal project yet. It is still in the early stage of testing," said one of the people.

This has never made sense to me. Television sets are now so commoditized that there seems to be no point to Apple entering the market. Everything Apple would do well fits in a small black box. Why mess with the rest of the set and all the logistics that go with that kind of supply chain.

I love that TV makers are trying to beat Apple to the punch with shoddy UI's, wonky voice control and terrible "app" support.
Apple will do something cool and everyone will copy and say it was obvious...what isn't obvious when someone does it first?

An Apple TV would be updated every year like all their other products, making it just as obsolete just as quickly (if not faster)

TV is so outdated anyway. The whole thing just feels like the race off between HD DVD and blue-ray.. racing to be the best at something practically obsolete

Because there are more than 20 people working at the company

Apple should just devote their time and resources to improve their current products and services than step into an entirely new market with hundreds of competitors.
If Apple can spend resources to start a new Television set project, I'd rather they spend some on salvaging more critical issues at hand such as the problematic, error-filled and almost life-threatening Maps application. Why start on a new project when current ones like this aren't completely completed yet?

It's almost like self induced punishment to read the comments on this forum.
Apple is most certainly working on a TV.
It WILL be awesome and innovative.
It WILL sell crazy like a schizophrenic zygote.
Apple will, unsurprisingly, retain it's technological crown.
Not a single forum member will admit they were wrong.
And round we go.

What they need to do is focus on a substitute for the cable box and remote for that.. My Time-Warner remote is a 64 button DISASTER!
Anyone can provide a monitor screen.. What Apple must do is provide non-clunky user interface solutions.
