DESIGN
Design is very familiar with this one because it’s the same as the 10R and the 10 S and the 10 same shape, same notch, same size as the 10R. it’s still a pretty big phone .same could switch, same speakers, same aluminum rails, same lightning port, same LCD display with 1792 by 828 resolution. that has us all questioning a lot of things like not being able to watch HD YouTube videos on a $700 phone. but people other than reviewers didn’t seem to mind a lot last year. same water resistance same IP68 same buttons. you get the idea. so OK what is new? first of all the name. so they’re calling it just iPhone 11. It has six new colors. black, green, yellow, purple, red, and white and they’re all more pastelly, so like the product red this year is a little lighter than the product red from last year. I personally liked the color choices of last year’s iPhone 10.I think the blue is pretty nice the coral it’s really unique, but those are all gone now but I guess there’s still a little bit of something for everyone if you rock your phone naked like me .you will notice there are two different glasses finishes on the back of the iPhone 11 .there’s glossy like normal across the back where the apple logo is in the middle instead of slightly north of the middle, but the camera square is actually a matte glass finish now. so the opposite of the 11 pros .which did a matte phone and a glossy camera square and you might have already known that. but what you might not know is that they’re all cut from one piece of glass .that’s milled down to cut the shape out of it and then two different finishes. so that’s pretty cool no matter what you think of the shape. the size and the thickness and weight are exactly the same as the 10R. it’s still 8.3 millimeters thick and still 194 grams according to apple’s site,
HARDWARE
Now we have a battery life that according to apple is 1 hour longer than the iPhone 10R. I don’t measure battery the same way apple does, but the iPhone 10R already had some of the best battery life in any iPhone in a really long time. I can confirm that the 11 has at least equivalent battery life to the 10R as it should. Under the hood, the iPhone 11 is powered by Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, which provides fast performance and efficient power usage. This chip is known for its impressive speed and capabilities, allowing users to run multiple apps and perform tasks smoothly. The iPhone 11 also comes with 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage, depending on the model chosen. This gives users plenty of space to store their photos, videos, music, and other files.
CAMERAS
The only other thing that’s new is the cameras and this is easily the biggest new thing about these. there’s a new main camera and they added a second camera to the iPhone 11 and it’s the ultra-wide, so you now get dual cameras and all the awesome features that come with it .like switching between lenses while recording video, so you get 4K video from the regular and from the ultra-wide camera .iPhone 11 does portrait mode now with more than just human faces, so it doesn’t have to detect a face to do the fake shallow depth of field with animals and objects and other things like that. there’s also a new wider front-facing camera that can take slow-motion videos. the only thing that’s missing is you don’t get the third telephoto camera from the iPhone 11 pro. that’s not a huge deal to me and both of these two new included cameras are excellent. they’re A plus smartphone cameras. suffice to say this is the best camera in a $700.00 smartphone debatably .arguably the best in any smartphone .so we get to the full camera comparison when they all come out, but for now, if you want a great camera .this is a great camera witch 64 gigs and I think most people or a lot of people should upgrade from that, but it starts at 700 bucks. which sort of fits nicely in this gradient of iPhone prices that apple has created now and that is pretty much everything you need to know .that’s new with this iPhone 11.
SUPPORT AND UPDATES
The iPhone 11 also includes support for Apple’s latest operating system, iOS 15, which brings a host of new features and improvements. These include updates to apps such as Photos and Maps, as well as new privacy and security features. iOS 15 is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for users to navigate and perform tasks on their devices
OVERALL
iPhone 11 is an iPhone 10R with a slightly new design, new cameras with an extra camera on the back, a slightly better battery, and a new chip .now the question is do you recommend it? I think the easy answer is yes. this is the iPhone that most people should get, but for a little more nuance I think you should really ask yourself two questions: 1)how much do you really care about the quality of this screen? the biggest weakness of this phone is definitely still the display and again a lot of people won’t even notice. the YouTube app I noticed even lies to you and lets you pick 1080P as if you’re watching a 1080P video, but you’re not .it’s like I said just over 720P, so if you look at the iPhone 10R display or if you look at this iPhone 11 in a store and you can tell it’s not sharp or you really value a great display and you know it. I’d say pick one of the pair-resolution OLED iPhones the 10S or the 11 pros.2) size. how do you feel about the size of this phone? I actually really like that the iPhone 11 Pro is a relatively compact smartphone by today’s standards. if you look at the 6.1-inch screen size and think it’s actually too big. then you could go for the slightly smaller, better display in the iPhone 11 pro. which will cost you more but it’s smaller or if you think it’s not big enough. you can go for the bigger iPhone 11 pro-Max.
