IPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max features and specification
Hello friends, Today we
are going to give you a quick review on the latest release iphone 11 Pro and 11
Pro Max so lets go. Ever since Apple's iPhone event last week I have been
asking myself the same question do these new iPhones deserve to be called the
iPhone Pro .Well on one level yes because Apple made them and they can call it
whatever they want and while I don't agree with every decision Apple made here
these are still the best iPhones Apple has ever made is that enough to warrant
this new name may be there are some notable improvements in these two devices
which I'll dig into you in a minute in other ways though the upgrades Apple
made to the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Macs are so subtle.
Specifications and Features
I think it would
actually take a pro to spot them before we go any further let's just get a
couple things out of the way a part from their different size screens and a really
clear difference in battery life the iPhone 11 pro and the 11 Pro max are basically
identical they used the same a13 Bionic chip set they all have the same cameras
they both run iOS 13 you get where I'm going with this if you' reconsidering
buying a pro your real decision boils down to three things what color you like
how much swords you need and whether you want to use a phone as big as the maxall
the time because these phones have so much in common they share the same design
quirks at Apple embrace this year they’re both a little faster than the10s
Series was last year and they both come in Apple's new have been that green
which really seems to be a crowd-pleaser.
Do you have to
say it's only really green and direct light though otherwise it just kind of
looks more like a slate gray which is honestly find my make these backs are
made from a single piece of milled glass and most of it has this really nice
matte finish it also means they’re a little less prone to sliding around on
certain surfaces to imagine this you were about to sit down on your couch and
you just sort of absent-mindedly put your pro on the arm do this all the time
and when I tried it the tennis clattered to the ground while the pro stay put
your mileage is probably going to vary but in my experience this new finish doesn’t
just feel good it's actually helpful wasn't too worried about the worst-case
scenario of dropping this thing because the pros used what Apple calls the
toughest glass you'll find in smartphone and there's reason to be skeptical
there I honestly can't test that without trying to destroy phones do not own
that said my protest units have already withstood some accidental drops just
keep this in mind.
Though tough in this case seems to mean the glass
won't shatter it's still pretty easy to scratch so a screen protector is
probably a good idea now remember when I said you'd have to be a pro to spot some
of the changes Apple made here well the iPhone pro screens are one of the best
examples of that Apple calls these panels super retina XDR displays and that
kind of bombastic branding suggests we can expect some eye-catching
improvements a bath bed these are great screens but they're not dramatically
better than the ones from a year ago the screen brightness tops out at around
800nits instead of the 600 something we got in the 10s series but the pros aren’t
that much more readable in broad daylight than those older phones were fiat all
actually the difference is most notable when you’re watching for 4k HDR video where
the brightness Peaks and around 1200nips during really bright scenes even then
though you're not going to notice the difference unless you have the new
expensive phone right next to the old expensive phone that's not all remember
3d touch that pressure-sensitive screen tech that Apple push for a few years
well it’s finally gone and if you really miss it like I did which I'm in the
minority on I’m sure that you can long press on app icons to access the same
shortcuts most people I know never actually use it though so losing it here
makes a lot of sense performance is another one of those areas where you might
not see a huge difference but that really depends on where you're coming from.
If you haven’t upgraded your phone in a while the
iPhone 11 pro and pro max will feel fantastically quick thanks to Apple’s new a
13 Bionic chipset if you're coming from last year's flagship iPhone so the
difference is much more subtle apps launched a little bit faster and
graphically intense games load a little quicker while multitasking feels just a
touch more seamless the a 13th power might be more noticeable if you're using
certain heavy duty apps since Apple execs spent a lot of time onstage last week
talking about video recording. I tried exporting 13 minutes of 4k 60 frames per
second video in iMovie it took 18 minutes for the pro and pro max to render
that final 5.7 gig file compared to about 21 minutes on last year's 10s and
10's max. That's a decent improvement
but maybe not earth shape I'm never gonna complain about improved performance
but just don’t expect to be totally blown away if you’ve been using a recent
iPhone with all that said some of apple's changes definitely stand out battery
life is a great example because the a13 is more efficient in addition to just being
faster I've generally been able to get about 12 hours of continued use out of
the smaller probe instead of the 9. I
got out of last year's 10s and the big old pro max easily ran for between 13and
14 hours on a single charge compared to the 11 to 13 hours I got of last year’s
big.
iPhone if it's
big changes you're after here look no further than the cameras we’ve got a
3-year ear 12 megapixel sensors in the pros the standard wide camera with
optical image stabilization and an F 1.8aperture the telephoto with a slightly
wider aperture this year and a 2 X optical zoom and the new ultra-wide camera
that captures a hundred and twenty degree field of view the best results tend
to come from the standard wide camera which is a good thing since it’s probably
the one you're gonna use most often it's by far the fastest of the three to
lock onto your subject especially in low light and it delivers what I think is
the best mix of color and detail of these three cameras. The telephoto is no
slouch though and it’s actually really good at rendering fine details even
though it's a little less capable than that why camera in the dark it would
have been nice to see Apple push this thing past the 2 X optical zoom limit but
it's still a really handy tool to have whenever you need it so what about that
new ultra-wide camera well it's mostly good it struggles at times to capture
evenly exposed photos in the dark and it just it doesn't pack photos with
detail the same way the standard wide camera does there's still a decent amount
of it there especially when you're shooting in bright conditions it's just not
as much as the other cameras and that's kind of not the point this camera is
all about giving your photos more space in context if you’re worried about
clarity more than anything else you might be a little disappointed but in my
experience it is a great utility player for when you want to shoot a sweeping
Vista or when you just don’t have much room to move in other words it's good
enough for what it’s supposed to do they have their quirks but by and large
these are excellent cameras and I know some of you are probably wondering how
they stack up to competitors like the note 10 and the pixel 3 honestly it's
kind of hard to make definitive statements because they’ll all kind of have different
motives.
Samsung cameras processed photos to have very vivid
colors and lots of detail so your photos almost look like an idealized version
of what you actually shot Apple's three cameras here are geared more towards
capturing the world as you see it even if features like smart HD are
selectively amp up the color and exposure more than they used to and Google’s
pixels well they sort of land somewhere in between those approaches though that
could change once the pixel force come out let me put this another way the
photos I took with the Galaxy Note n are the ones I'd most like to post on Instagram
with the no filter hashtag the photos I shot with the iPhone 11 pros are the
ones I'd most like to throw into Lightroom and have some fun with which phone
actually takes the best photos is a matter of preference I think but apples
cameras here are clever and capable enough that you won't really feel like
you're missing out on anything there are just a few other additions I should
point out here quick-take makes it easy to switch from framing up a photo to
shooting a video by holding the shutter button down there's also a high key
light mono setting for the portrait mode which snaps a black and white headshot
of your subject with a bone white background these results can be pretty
impressive just as long as you make sure no one's behind your subject otherwise
the camera turns them into literal ghouls that will clutter up your shot Apple
also added a night mode this year which works pretty differently compared to
what you'd see on a Samsung or a Google phone the camera will recognize when
you're shooting in the dark and automatically enable night mode that is to say
you can turn it off before you shoot but you can't really prevent it from
turning on in the first place then the results are maybe not quite as striking
as what you might get out of a pixel but that's again sort of by design other
phones night modes tend to brighten up photos too much as if they were trying
to turn night into day apples a night photos are still plenty bright but they
feel like they were shot in the wee hours and whether that's a good thing is
again really up to you there is just one catch though you can’t use the night
mode with that ultra-wide camera at all the 12 megapixel front camera isn't
quite as interesting as what’s around back and as usual it'll take nice selfies
without a whole lot of fuss.
Apple did add
two notable features here thought topping a button widens the cameras field of
view so you can squeeze a few more people into those selfies you can now also
shoot slow-motion video which works as well as you'd expect you're gonna start
seeing these slow fees everywhere and while I hate the name I figure I should
just contribute my own before everyone goes crazy so just enjoy the shot of
what happens when I eat a handful of glitter kids please don't try this at home
oh and the videos you shoot with the iPhone pros are pretty great actually you
can capture footage at up to 4k 60 and thanks to an assist from the knurl
engine the pros did a surprisingly good job at adapting to changing conditions
exposure was more consistent throughout and I noticed a lot less noise than I
expected so at the end of it all should you buy an iPhone11 Pro or pro max.
Well I think it really depends they're all around
better than the 10s series and they're definitely a worthy upgrade if you're
using an iPhone10 or anything older than that these are after all probably the
most powerful smartphones money can buy right now but if you don't need the
best of the best or if you're still not generally thrilled about the idea of
dropping a thousand dollars on a phone even a phone that’ll last you a few
years there’s another way the iPhone 11 is the more practical choice and the
one that probably just makes sense for more people. I've spent a lot of time
testing these new phones. So, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read
our review if you have any feedback or if you have any further questions you
want us to try and dig into as we continue covering these devices definitely
let us know and be sure to comment
