iPhone 11 Pro vs. 14 Pro: was hat sich in 3 Jahren getan?

As we probably know, I have been testing the new iPhone 14 pro since its launch and every time you review a new smartphone on YouTube and of course there is a comparison with its own predecessor, the same question always appears in the comments . It makes a lot of sense to compare a smartphone with its own predecessor. Most people who buy a new smartphone are not upgrading from their own predecessor but from a device that is at least two or even three years old and that's why I thought it was there. There is some truth to this and again, coincidence, we have the iPhone 11 Pro in our house, my first iPhone, which my girlfriend is currently using, so I can really take a closer look at what has really happened at Apple in the last three. years The development from the iPhone 11 Pro to the iPhone 14 pro is really and perhaps worth a quick upgrade.

You can find out in this video. This video is kindly supported by pitaka, one of my favorite manufacturers of accessories for your iPhone and this one. This year I was especially impressed. They sent me their third-generation Mac-East case, which is made of aramid fiber and is less than a millimeter thick and so light it feels like you're holding nothing in your hand. The case is not bulky at all, you have the feeling that you have the iPhone in your hand as it should be and at the same time the iPhone is well protected against light bumps and scratches and the case also protrudes a little on the side of the screen so that you can holding your iPhone can also be easily placed on the surface of the screen and the caves are of course also compatible with maxafit, something that I personally pay a lot of attention to in every case that I never enter the house.

With a case without Max, I can also absolutely recommend the travel charger adapter for the Apple Watch. Simply plug it into any USB-C charging port, for example on your MacBook, and you can conveniently charge your Apple Watch anywhere, anytime. I have included the links to the two products in the video description for you to see, even if this party is sponsored, these heights really convinced me and I will also use them in everyday life in the future. Let's start with the design of the iPhone 12, the direct successor to the iPhone 11 series. Apple has introduced a new design language since the iPhone 12.

All iPhones have become significantly more angular and therefore look and feel a little more high quality. Of course, all this also has its downside: the iPhone 11 Pro, with its rounded edges, is simply much more comfortable to hold and when you do. Now I'm wondering why the iPhone 14 pro is significantly larger than the iPhone 11. Pro, it's not because they sell significantly larger iPhones now, no, I have the iPhone 14 pro Max and now I'm comparing the iPhone 14 pro max to the iPhone 11 Pro, but it is almost identical to the iPhone 14 pro, just larger in size. case with a larger screen and a larger battery, however, the regular iPhone 14 pro also has a larger screen than the iPhone 11 Pro.

Apple changed from 5.8 inches to 6.1 inches and consequently the The iPhone 14. pro's case size increased slightly compared to the iPhone 11 Pro, but you also get a little more screen. Last but not least, I would like to point out the excellent workmanship quality of the iPhone. Although the iPhone 11 Pro is now 3 years old, it has. It held up very well and not only does it look super good today, but it also feels very high quality. There are still two small differences when it comes to the quality of workmanship, first of all the Apple ban. The iPhone 11 Pro does not yet have a ceramic protector. the front, which is supposed to be much more unbreakable, and the iPhone 11 Pro is only protected against water ingress up to a depth of four meters for up to 30 minutes, while the iPhone 14 Pro is now protected up to six meters overall .

I would like to express once again at this point that I am truly surprised at how well my iPhone 11 Pro has stood the test of time. I have never used it with a screen protector but mainly with a case and I must say it looks good. It still looks absolutely great, although of course there are now numerous small scratches on the front and also on the frame. Next we will talk about the screens and many things have also happened here. The size is... Models from the iPhone 12 onwards have become slightly larger due to Apple's regulation, which means the iPhone 14 pro has a 6.1-inch screen instead of a 6.1-inch screen. 5.8 inches as installed on the iPhone 11.

As a result, the size of the case has of course also become a little larger. But that was also possible by making the edges of the screen a little thinner, which means that not only does the size of the case increase, no, the edges of the screen are also significantly thinner. than on the iPhone 11 Pro, although they were quite thin then. Otherwise, both smartphones work with quite good OLED panels with a very high comparable resolution, that is, in terms of color representation and in terms of resolution. , there are practically no differences here, but that's all, but first there is the Icelandic in the iPhone 14 pro, which has replaced the classic.

Not only does this look more minimalist and cool, no, it has some features. which work, for example, as a doctor for apps that are currently running in the background, meaning that if you're playing music, for example, it moves to the island and can be clicked by pressing it. I think it's super easy. to control your music and it is a very smart solution. In addition, the iPhone 14 pro also has significantly better facial ID sensors because a lot has happened here in the generation of devices, and they were also pretty good at eleven percent, but on the eleven pro.

For example, I miss the fact that you can use Face ID while holding your phone vertically rather than vertically. That only works with the iPhone 14 Pro. Otherwise, it also works quite reliably with the 11 Pro. quickly is that the iPhone 14 pro has an always-on display, which is simply missing on the iPhone 11 Pro and that means that the iPhone 14 pro screen never turns off completely, but even when you turn it off, the background image with the widgets and the time are still very dimmed and the tremendously repeated response is reduced to a heart rate, so everything barely consumes additional energy.

Of course, you can also disable the always-on display on the iPhone 14 pro. If you want to save a little more energy, I personally would never do it, I find it really practical in everyday life. One display feature that has already been added to the iPhone 13 pro is a 120Hz display, while the iPhone 11 Pro has yet. uses a fixed 60 Hertz refresh rate and the iPhone 14 pro has a 120 Hertz LTPO 2.0 display that can adaptively adjust its refresh rate from 120 Hertz to 10 Hertz and even up to a heart rate when always on display. It displays more fluidly when scrolling or playing games, for example, and at the same time the screen is also capable of doing this.

To save power when, for example, I watch a series with only 24 fps, I personally only see the difference between 120 Hertz and 60 Hertz when I hold the two smartphones side by side. Otherwise I don't notice it too much in everyday life, but extra presence is always a good thing and of course there are people who feel they can do it. I see a big difference here, so it's best to take a look at the difference in a store, but that shouldn't have been the case when it comes to the screen because Apple has also managed to increase the brightness of the screen throughout the years.

The iPhone 11 Pro has a pretty good display that reaches a maximum typical brightness of up to 800 nits and with LotR even up to 1200 and I must honestly say that these 800 were for me. In daily life, the new iPhone 14 pro is almost always enough to achieve a maximum typical brightness of up to 1000 nits, which is slightly brighter. However, there are very few situations where this extra brightness is needed and the same applies to them now. Apple has increased the maximum outdoor brightness to 2000 and. Of course, that sounds significantly more than the 800 with power we still have built into the iPhone 11 Pro, but let me tell you, first of all, these 2000 nits only wake up the iPhone when it's in direct contact.

There's sunlight and then this. The screen brightness is usually not maintained for long because the screen heats up over time under the scorching sun and then dims automatically. However, it is good that it is constantly developing the display technology in this category. But the differences. between the 800 network on the iPhone 11 Pro and the network up to 2000 on the iPhone 14 pro is not that big in practice. There is another difference in the maximum HDR brightness, which is now per city on the iPhone 14 with network 1200. 1.6 that's a little more here but you have to pay close attention to see differences in LOTR pauses.

In this video you can also use up to two Apple products of your choice with a total value of up to €250 as much as you want. What you have to do is write a comment with the Apple products you want to win and you will be in this month's giveaway, like the video, subscribe to the channel but it definitely won't do you any harm, I'll blind you. You can briefly review the terms and conditions here , but you can also find them in the video description. What I also noticed with the iPhone 14 pro is that the speakers have improved a lot and I say this despite the iPhone 11 Pro's speakers really. they were pretty good and that's not because I now have the bigger iPhone 14 pro Max, no, I also tried the regular iPhone 14 pro and came to the same conclusion, that is, as far as speakers, it's definitely good too.

I did something, I was particularly excited about the performance because the iPhone 11 Pro only has an h13 processor, which is now three years old, while the new iPhone 14 pro has the new A16 processor and what can I say. The differences, in other words, are really minimal. The iPhone 11 Pro, even though it is now three years old, still performs surprisingly well in everyday life and I could hardly notice any regression, which means that if you use your smartphone normally, it will. It works too The iPhone 11 Pro is almost as fast as the iPhone 14 pro. Yes, of course, there is a small advantage for the iPhone 14 pro in terms of charging times, but if you don't do super complex things with your smartphone.

You will probably hardly notice any difference in daily performance and at this point it shows me once again that nowadays it is pointless to compare the processor performance of smartphones with each other because, to be honest, even smartphones that have three years they still work. Nowadays it is very fluid and that is why it is no longer like that. It is relevant how much faster the new processor is compared to its predecessor. It's clear that the iPhone 14 pro is faster on paper in everyday life, but that hardly makes a difference. Of course, now I'm especially curious about how this will affect software updates.

In theory, the iPhone 11 should still have around three years left per year, while the iPhone 14 pro still has a full six years left, but I imagine that even the iPhone 11 Pro will still be supported for four or even five years if you do. I think. Look how smooth it is, it still works today. Another interesting topic is of course the battery life and here I am very impressed with my iPhone. 11 Pro After three years of daily use, it still has more than 80% battery capacity left, to be precise. It's still 84% and my girlfriend can easily handle it in one day, usually even two days.

Saying that she uses her smartphone significantly less than I do and that's not a good comparison, but I looked at everything closer and had to realize that with my friend's you still have three to five hours of screen time and if If you buy a new iPhone 11 Pro now, there is about an hour more and with the iPhone 14 pro Consequently, there is another hour more, but between two new iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 14 pro, in the end there is only about an hour of extra viewing and even with the iPhone 11 Pro, most people will get through the day without a problem, even if that's the case.

The internal battery is no longer new, but it only has 85-90% left. remaining capacity and honestly, that's great and I would really be interested to know what it's really like nowThe behavior of full batteries in smartphones that charge super fast, that is, with a capacity of 80, 100 or 120 watts, it seems that it will last three years and How well they will last more than a day, if anyone here has had experience. Of course, we have saved the most interesting topic in the comments, but last but not least we talked about the cameras and from a purely optical point of view there are already big differences here if you compare the two camera modules with each other .

The camera lenses of the iPhone 14 pro are clearly larger than those of the iPhone 11 Pro and also protrudesignificantly more of the case, which looks like the iPhone 11 Pro, but there is also one per device with three cameras on the back that we have installed. almost the same cameras and I would say we start with the front camera first, the front camera has stayed the same from the iPhone 11 Pro to the iPhone 13 pro, but with the iPhone 14 pro we finally saw an update here again because the new front camera The iPhone 14 pro not only has autofocus, no, it also captures more light and therefore takes slightly better photos in almost all situations.

But since there are three years of development between them, I have to be honest, I would have thought that the. The difference would be greater, but hey, that's how it is at the back. As already mentioned, we installed three cameras on both iPhone models and, in my opinion, the biggest differences are in the ultra wide angle, which on the iPhone 14 pro is simply much more partial and also has less noise, which you can see even if you are not in the photo. If you zoom in on the main sensor, it's a little more difficult because Apple is putting a 48-megapixel sensor in the iPhone 14 Pro for the first time and if you take pictures in improvised format, they are actually taken with 48 megapixels and then for Of course, you can see a lot more detail here than with an iPhone 11 Pro and even if you take normal 12-megapixel images, they look better. that on the iPhone 11 Pro in good daylight the difference is not so big, but especially when it gets dark or the lighting conditions worsen, the difference becomes increasingly larger.

In the end, the telephoto lens we installed also works. a double optical zoom on the iPhone 11 Pro, while on the iPhone 14 Pro we have the option to double zoom, so to speak digitally, but it is not a real digital zoom because exactly the 12 megapixels in the middle of the 48 megapixel sensors are used and so it's more of an optical zoom and these images are actually better than with the iPhone 11 Pro, although there is no dedicated lens for it and then you look three times with the original triple lens on the iPhone 14 pro . compared to the digital zoom of the iPhone 11 Pro and here you will also notice that the iPhone 14 pro takes significantly better photos, but of course photos are just one thing and when it comes to videos, Apple has something else going with the iPhone. 14 pro Not only does the video have significantly less noise than on the iPhone 11 Pro, but we also have several new modes, such as Cinema mode, which automatically blurs the background to make it look like something you would film with a professional camera or the new action that really stabilizes the camera very well no matter what kind of cheeky moves you make and in general a lot has been done on the software side, we have the option to record videos in HDR, we have the option to record videos in ProRes or take format photos, all of that was available before.

It's simply not possible with the iPhone 11 Pro and that is the case now with the iPhone 14 pro. That means, as we can see, not only has something changed in the lenses and. on the sensors behind them, no, some additional software magic has been added too. Consequently, I must say very clearly that I have already done a lot in terms of photos and videos in three years, but at the same time I am very surprised. about how well you can take photos and videos from an iPhone 11 Pro these days, even with the camera, I'll be more than happy with the iPhone 11 Pro, but if you really want to get the most out of your camera, then you'll definitely get the value out of it. your money with the iPhone 14 Pro.

Now that we have gone over all the essential components of the smartphone, I still have two things left to mention since the iPhone 12, Apple installed a ring of magnets. the back of the iPhone that allows you to use additional accessories and that's something I use very often in everyday life, whether it's for charging or not, Max Safe is just super convenient and that's definitely something I would miss with the iPhone 11. Pro, the second thing is 5g because the iPhone 11 Pro only supports 4G, while Apple also supports the 5g standard since the iPhone 12, but to be honest, that's not something I've noticed significantly in everyday life.

Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to 5g now, but I honestly don't think so, 5g doesn't make a significant difference to me in everyday life because 4G was already pretty fast and I can't think of anything I can do with it. 5g in everyday life. In my life I can do or at least do better what I couldn't do before with 4G, so it's still no reason to buy a newer smartphone with 5G. In summary, I can say that a lot has happened in the last three years. Regardless of whether it is with a 4G screen or even a camera, the iPhone 14 pro is in some aspects significantly better than the iPhone 11 Pro, which has been on the market for 3 years.

However, I was also surprised at how well it works. The iPhone 11 Pro has really held up and that's for me personally, there are still almost no aspects that really make it necessary to change from the 11 Pro to the 14 Pro, that is, if you currently have an iPhone 11 Pro and yes, then you really have to think carefully if you really need the iPhone 14 Pro if you need it. If you are still very satisfied with your iPhone 11 Pro, in my opinion it is still a really good smartphone and that is also the conclusion of my videos. Yes, there are still new things on the smartphone market, but also the devices that are now two smartphones that are three or even four years old are still very good and can continue to be used as long as you don't have any problems with them.

Therefore, you don't have to buy a new smartphone every year, every two years or even every three years, as long as you use your device. If you are still satisfied with what you have seen in this video, write me your opinion. in the comments and then we'll discuss it, otherwise thank you very much for watching, leave a like and a subscribe and then I'll see you in the next video.
