iPhone 11 vs 11 Pro vs 11 Pro Max | In-Depth Comparison & Review

Hello everyone and welcome back to Inside Tech, the new 2019 iPhone lineup is finally here and along with its launch, there was a lot of anticipation with the fantastic developments we've seen in Android smartphones this year. It's no secret that Apple has been playing ball. But with some surprising and innovative improvements, the iPhone is back to competing with the best on the market. Much of the experience you get with the new phones will be familiar. The knot design is still here and starting to show its age, but there have been big increases. Even the significantly improved battery life and cameras have given us a reason to be excited about the iPhone once again, this video will cover everything that's new this year, the differences between each model, whether you should upgrade or not, and of course Of course, which iPhone offers the best value for money.

Let's take a look at the three new iPhones that are direct successors to the previous models. We have the iPhone 11 replacing the cheaper 10, the 11 Pro replacing the 10 and the 11 Pro max replacing the 10 max. The new naming system has been simplified and is an improvement. last year, but it could still use some work - the use of the term Pro, for example, could be a bit controversial, as we will see throughout this video. I also think we should just have the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro and then differentiate between the two Pro models simply by size, this would make things a lot easier, especially since the two Pros are essentially the same phone but in different sizes.

Apple already uses this system with its MacBook and iPad lines, so it would make sense here for the iPhone 11 to have the same form factor as the 10 has the same size and weight, it is still a glass sandwich with an aluminum frame and , without changes to the front design, you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart just by looking at the back. The panel has seen some changes, though with a new jewel-lens camera module, the square camera bump has a frosted texture to contrast with the glossy back, the iPhone branding has been removed and the Apple logo is now centered to take into account the larger camera module.

These changes give the iPhone a cleaner look, but depending on your region you may still find some security seals on the bottom. Water support has now been upgraded to IP68 to protect the phone against submersion up to 2 meters for 30 minutes, twice the

depth

of the iPhone. 10 are the phone is available in six new pastel colors in contrast to the bolder colors of the 10r. The Pro models also follow a similar design to last year's models, but are actually slightly larger, thicker, and heavier than their predecessors. The increase in thickness is largely due to the new larger batteries, marking a rare shift in Apple's approach in which function has been prioritized over style again, we have a sammich glass design on the that the pro models have a stronger stainless steel frame compared to the aluminum frame of the iPhone 11. most other smartphones: stainless steel is much harder than aluminum, so it will offer better scratch resistance .

The rear panels sport the new triple-lens camera system and now have frosted glass backs with glossy camera modules. The back of the iPhone 11, I personally much prefer the Pro Design over the iPhone 11, the texture that matches the glass feels really good in the hand and is much more resistant to fingerprints, as you have probably already noticed, there is a new color option with professional models in addition to gold, silver and space gray. As of last year, the new midnight green is only subtly different from space gray and its much less obvious green than the jugs would initially suggest it's a stainless steel rim that its color matches, but only in certain lights will you be able to see the difference with big space. model, the Pros have also improved the water resistance again with an IP68 rating, but they have actually been tested to a

depth

of 4 meters instead of 2, giving the Pro 11 the best water resistance for any smartphone despite not having an increase in thickness that the iPhone 11 receives. a slightly larger battery than the 10 R, but this is mainly due to optimizations with the new processor that allow the phone to extend battery life by a hour.

The 10 already has fantastic battery life, the best of last year's iPhones, so to extend it even further. On the other hand, it's great to see the pros take this much further with significantly larger batteries than their predecessors, the 11pro lasts hours longer than the 10, while the 11 Pro max lasts 5 hours longer than the 10s max, which It's absolutely huge. gains in battery life, iPhone users have finally received what they've been asking for for years, sacrificing a bit in terms of phone thickness to deliver much better battery life. The pro models also finally have fast chargers included in the box, something Apple is ready for.

I should have been doing it for years, but it's great to see them finally make this change. The 18 watt adapter has a USBC connector and a USB c2 lighting cable is also included. Unfortunately, Apple didn't make the full switch to USB C even though they've been using USB C on their iPad pros, so since they also called these phones pro I would have thought we'd see USB C here too, we'll likely have to Waiting for next year's iPhones to finally ditch the Lightning port, but including USB C fast charging in the box is at least a step in the right direction.

The cheaper iPhone 11 doesn't get the fast charger in the box and instead comes with the standard 5-watt adapter; three phones are capable of fast charging. However, by charging and using the 18 watt charger I was able to charge the iPhone 11 in two hours and twelve minutes the 11pro in one hour 14 minutes in the brands 11pro in two hours in one minute fast charging provides 50 percent of the battery after just 30 minutes of charging, but the 18 what speed pales in

comparison

to the competition with speeds now reaching and even exceeding 45 watts, the phone supports qi wireless charging at seven and a half watts, but again this is starting to lag.

Behind the competition with speeds up to 4 times faster and now available, the iPhone 11 has exactly the same 6.1-inch liquid Retina display as the 10 R, it is an LCD screen with a resolution that does not reach 1080p, which is what lacks in standards 20:19 behind the Samsung competition. The Galaxy S 10 II, for example, widely considered the equivalent of this phone, has a much better 1080p AMOLED display, the iPhone 11's bezels are also quite thick, especially by today's standards. However, I must say that I approach this as a technical critic. Most people considering this phone won't really care too much about the specs.

The screen on the iPhone Elevens is still very sharp, has beautiful colors, and is still a big improvement over many of the previous generation iPhones. The iPhone 11 pros, on the other hand, are far superior. OLED displays, the bezels are noticeably thinner on the Pro models, but it's the true blacks and bright whites that really separate the two displays. iOS 13 introduces dark mode; This can only be fully appreciated on the older screens of the professional models, the deep blacks are really eye-catching and of course also more efficient on the battery, the professionals have improved the screens of last year's Telus models and now have Much higher brightness and contrast ratios.

Apple has called the displays super retina XDR, as they borrow elements from the upcoming Pro XDR display, which I imagine is part of how Apple wants to justify the term pro in the name of a phone as good as these displays are, although I really think they should have had the 120 has refresh rate we've seen on the ipad pros and so calling them pro would have at least made a little more sense - the increased brightness now maxes out at 800 nits in use normal, allowing for fantastic viewing in bright conditions, but the screen actually maxes out at 1200 nits when viewing high dynamic range content and this is where the displays really shine, you can notice the improved brightness over last year's sneaker models, but for me it's really the improved contrast ratio that stands out.

Despite the higher brightness, the screens are actually 15 percent more efficient, so your content looks even better without sacrificing battery life. However, the downgrade here is that the phone no longer supports 3D touch, which has been replaced by haptic touch. Instead, this is a feature we hoped would be removed and is something you'll eventually learn to adapt to, but I missed how much faster the 3D touches are. The Tennis Max content on these screens looks absolutely stunning and on the Pro Max it is a six and a half inch screen, especially which with the new spatial audio sounds better.

The speakers on these phones are noticeably louder and have higher audio quality in spatial audio. with Dolby Atmos support can give you a truly immersive experience when watching movies as great as these screens, although the most important thing I can't overlook is the big and annoying nub, the once innovative notch screen now looks very obsolete for any smartphone. Offering today, whether smaller punch-hole cutouts or full displays with pop-up cameras, the front-facing appearance of Apple's iPhone hasn't changed in two years and I can completely understand why someone would want to hold off on upgrading until the rumored redesign on 20/20. twenty. iPhone as convenient as facial ideas.

I would definitely take an under-display fingerprint scanner to reduce the notch to just the front camera lens. Speaking of Face ID, it's now said to be 30% faster, which is confusing. Apple has also stated that the speed boost is due to improvements in iOS 13, so I tested the unlock speed on Mac 11pros versus last year's Mac 10s on both iOS 12 and 13 with iOS 12, the 10s max It's noticeably slower than the 11pro max, but upgrading to iOS 13 essentially makes no difference, so the faster Face ID is simply due to iOS optimizations and not the new phones themselves. Face ID is also supposed to work at more angles, but based on my testing with tilt and rotate, there doesn't seem to have been any improvement in Still, the increase in speed is a welcome change, especially since Face ID was previously slower than the most unlocking methods such as fingerprint sensors, what is also included within the iPhone nub is the true depth front camera which has a 12-megapixel sensor with enhanced next-generation smart HDR.

Compared to the previous generation's 7-megapixel sensor, the difference in image quality from last year is quite surprising. Images are brighter and much sharper than before. You can see here how much more detail the 11pro max is capable of capturing. Portrait mode photos now look uniform. It's also better and I think depth perception seems to have improved on the new phones. When using the front camera you can now tap to expand the field of view and get a little more space in the frame, but the phone will actually do this for you if it's turned horizontally, another new feature here is the shot quick video where if you hold down the shutter button the phone will automatically switch from photo mode and start recording video and then you can swipe right to lock it.

Recording video in previous years by pressing and holding the shutter button would take burst photos, so to do this on new phones, now drag the shutter button to the left. Video has also been improved to now support 4k recording at 60 frames per second, iPhone award. The highest quality front-facing video for any smartphone Cinematic stabilization now also supports 4K. The difference in video quality compared to last year's models is very evident. I also noticed that the video isn't cropped as much on newer phones, so you can fit more into the frame even when recording video. Slow motion video is now also supported on the front camera, which Apple has said will let you accept slow rates.

It's a ridiculous name and honestly I can never watch slow motion videos on the front camera. The front camera has always been useful in real-world applications, but it's there if you want it. The biggest changes with the new iPhonesThey come with improved rear cameras. The ultra white lens is the most notable new addition and something fans have been asking about. For some time now, this has meant that the iPhone 11 now has 12-megapixel white main and ultra lenses, marking a departure from the main and telephoto setup we've seen on iPhones with previous cool lenses. For me personally, the combination of main lens and optional white lens.

It is, by far, the best option. I can't say I've ever used the telephoto lens in the past, whereas the ultra white lens offers a completely different type of photography and is something I would use more often if you want a telephoto lens. Instead, you'll need to get one of the 11 Pro models that have all three lenses. The pro telephoto lens has actually improved from last year now with a wider aperture for better low light photography. What surprised me was how fluidly the phone switched between them. The three lenses, which is even possible while recording video using the zoom wheel, can be noticed when the lens changes, the transition is quite smooth and does not stutter, as we have seen on some of the smartphones.

Another interesting feature is that the phone intelligently adapts to the environment to suggest when the ultra-wide lens might be useful. It will show a transparent image of how much extra you could fit in the frame if you switch to the ultra-wide lens. These suggestions appear when viewing scenes like landscapes and I can see that when I move a subject to focus on it, like these air pods, the phone fades in the ultra wide p

and the edges tend to darken when I remove the air pods, the landscape scene returns to the frame, that is, the transparent p

review

returns the animations for squeezing. the in-frame previews when switching lenses are quite smooth and you can see that you can also preview the continent when looking at the telephoto lens.

Improvements have also been made to dynamic range with next-generation Smart HDR to deliver improved highlights and shadow details, we should see this taken even further in the coming months as Apple launches Deep Fusion, a new technology for processing Improved images, superior textures, details and noise throughout the image, the feature sounds impressive, so it will be interesting to see how well this works, the full range of portrait effects is now available for all three phones, but the good thing about the pro models is that you can now choose whether to use portrait mode with the main lens or the telephoto lens, whereas in previous years it was locked to the telephoto lens only.

The iPhone has one of the best portrait modes of any smartphone . Images are sharp and detailed and edge detection with both cameras is very good. The cameras have also been updated to finally include a dedicated night mode even in the darkest conditions. The phones work very well. work on exposing your images while maintaining a decent amount of detail From my testing so far, this is one of the best night modes I've used, possibly even the best, so it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Google Pixel for En a couple of weeks, looking at these images here, you can see how by using the Erbs night mode, capable of capturing details in the ceiling that were completely missing in the other image, you have control over the shutter speed so you can customize the amount of lights you want. phone to capture and this allows you to take long exposures to produce images like this.

This was taken in almost total darkness conditions and to give you an idea of ​​context, this is what the image looked like with night mode disabled in an area where the iPhone is. What dominates the industry is video recording and Apple has taken this even further with the new iPhones. Extended dynamic range now supports up to 60 frames per second. The new video editor is extremely comprehensive thanks to iOS 13, as there are new features like audio zoom that I will be testing stabilization of the 10.1-inch Galaxy Note that really puts the iPhone ahead of the rest. This 4k clip at 60 frames per second was taken while walking with the phone relaxed in my hand and the iPhone's smooth video recording is simply incomparable to the camera.

The improvements are a welcome addition to the new phones, even if some of them were long overdue. It's really great to see that the upgrades aren't just reserved for the pro models - the iPhone 11 has exactly the same camera performance and features with the exception of the telephoto lens, the camera module may have a controversial design, but the great performance means As the iPhone now once again has one of the best cameras on a smartphone, as usual we see some improvements in performance with Apple's new 13 Bionic chip, which is the fastest CPU in any smartphone it is said. that the CPU is 20% faster and 30% more efficient than its predecessor and the GPU is 20% faster and 40% more efficient.

Last year's 1/12 Bionic was already an incredibly powerful chip and will likely only see a slight speed improvement with general use, but the power improvements allow the phone to process those new smart HDR and extended dynamic range camera features. The triple camera system's perfect combination of multiple exposures and simultaneous 4K 60 recording from multiple lenses while the CPU performs its 1 trillion operations per second behind the scenes, what you'll really notice is the vastly improved efficiency and, despite the increased The phone's processing power, battery life improvements are perhaps the best new feature this year, even with moderate to high usage that often exceeded. 10 hours of screen time that easily competes with the best Android smartphones.

I found myself charging the phones every other day instead of every night and the improved battery life is one of the most notable and significant improvements over previous models that Apple also has. designed a new u1 chip that allows the phone to use ultra-wideband technology for spatial awareness. This will allow the iPhone to use apps with precise location tracking, the full potential of which will be unlocked in the future for now, although you can use the chip for priority files. Share and Airdrop By simply pointing your phone at another device, you can highlight your target receiver for faster file transfers.

Another thing I think is important to mention is that Apple has taken additional steps to reduce its environmental impact by including 100% recycled tin in the logic board with 100% recycled rare earth metals in the touch engine, the first smartphone to do so, Of course, more could always be done, but I think it's important to recognize this type of positive action now when it comes to price. We are dealing with flagship smartphones and consequently the prices are very high, but Apple surprised everyone by announcing that the iPhone 11 would sell for $699, $50 cheaper than last year's iPhone 10. The 11 is a significant improvement over the 10, so to bring the price down.

This year was a surprising but nice move by Apple - the Pro models are expected to retail for the same price as last year's phones at $999 and $2,099 respectively - it's bad news for UK fans. United Kingdom, although since Apple has had to increase prices in the United Kingdom due to the current political uncertainty. This isn't the fault of the apples at all, but it is something to keep in mind for those looking to buy from the UK. One thing that is definitely Apple's fault, although it still only has 64 gigabytes of storage on the base models. Yes, cloud storage is pretty cheap now. and it's readily available, but 64 gigabytes is one of the lowest storage options on the market and leaves Apple far behind the competition.

I really think Apple should have at least doubled the storage and I can't help but feel like it was a missed opportunity. In terms of deciding between phones, the pros are split 11 in four main areas for design: screen battery life and telephoto lens. The telephoto lens is definitely not a priority for me as the battery life on the 11 is already very good, but I wouldn't feel obligated to upgrade to a pro, but having experienced the true blacks that OLED offers, the pro displays XD They're very inviting, not to mention the feel of those frosted glass backs and the added durability of the stainless steel frames, whether they're there or not.

Whether you think these extras justify the higher prices is up to you, but I personally think the iPhone 11 offers by far the best value for money and is the phone most people should buy. Obviously, these three phones are very expensive, but the iPhone. 11 offers a lot of phones for under $700 When it comes to deciding between the 11pro and the Promax, Apple makes this choice much easier as these are the same phones just with different screen sizes and battery life. Slightly better battery than the pro max for photographers and film. Watchers may want to consider their pro max, as viewing content on the larger six-and-a-half-inch screen is really nice, but the form factor and one-handed use benefits offered by the 11pro offering are also Pretty attractive if you upgrade from last year's phones.

An annual phone update rarely justifies this kind of upgrade, as tempting as the new features are, it's probably not worth it if you earn a 10 or a 10 or a max tennis for those with an iPhone 8 or older, although now it might It might be a good time to upgrade, as you can benefit from improvements from the last two years, like Face ID's thinner bezels and the gorgeous OLED displays for those who can't look past Apple's old knobby design, though it's probably You'll want to wait another year for a significant redesign. which some would say is long overdue, 5g hasn't come to the iPhone yet and realistically the world isn't ready for the technology anyway, but for those who would hold on to their phone for four or five years , they should also consider waiting for Apple.

To launch its 5g phones, the iPhone 11 line built on the foundation laid by last year's phones and there's a sense that Apple has taken the iPhone to its full potential ahead of the big redesign we expect to see next year, a Complete camera overhaul and significantly improved battery life is exactly what the iPhone needed and the invention is for Apple. These are areas where they have absolutely delivered. There's clearly room for improvement here, but the 2019 iPhones represent a significant step toward not only catching up with the best Android smartphones. but in some areas they also surpass them for everything that Apple still leaves something to be desired, such as including fast charges within the professional boxes, they are forced to use more recyclable materials by launching thicker iPhones and with larger batteries shows that they are taking action For the right direction, even if the stone already convinced you, this year's iPhone lineup certainly feels more exciting than last year around this time, so for those who weren't comfortable with the upgrade, now could be the Time to make that change, but what do you think about these phones?

They offer enough to warrant an upgrade, which of the three do you think offers the best value for money?
