VPNs for ad-blocking While there are a few notable omissions if you opt for the iPhone 11 over the Pro or Pro Max, they’re not exactly deal-breakers. The iPhone 11 has one less camera than its big siblings, but it still takes some incredible shots. The screen isn’t OLED, but most users won’t be able to tell the difference anyway. And, unlike previous iPhone generations, upgrading to a Pro model doesn’t necessarily mean hours of extra battery life - the iPhone 11 is more than capable of holding its own. Compare iPhone 11 prices and plans Below you will find some popular iPhone 11 deals. But for our editorial picks, head over to our best iPhone 11 plans page. The iPhone 11 is actually larger than the iPhone 11 Pro, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the largest coming in at 6.5 inches. That is compared to the 6.1 inches of the iPhone 11, and the smaller 5.9 inches of the iPhone 11 Pro. On the Pro models, you’re going to get OLED screens, which have a broader range of colour reproduction and darker blacks than the LCD that you get with the iPhone 11. Here they are side-by-side with the same 4K UHD wallpaper. Can you tell of the difference beyond size? For their size, all three phones have the same front-facing cameras, they all have Apple’s TrueDepth camera, with Face ID, which now has slofie capability. The iPhone 11 gives you a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens that has a 120-degree field of view. The first lens is gonna give you better low light shots than the ultra-wide lens, but the next time you’re at a party or a family function, you’ll be able to get all your pals into the shot without having to back up 30 feet. And Apple’s made it easy to do by opening the Camera app and simply clicking where it says 1x on the screen to toggle between the two lenses. When you see .5, you’re looking at the ultra-wide-angle lens. In terms of video, you’ll get a shooter that records 4K video at up to 60 frames per second with an audio zoom function, which actually focuses the microphone on whatever or whomever you’re zooming into. Now, the week I reviewed the phone was actually somewhat quiet for me in terms of use, but at the end of the night, I’m seeing 25% left with six hours screen on time. Your usage may vary in battery life vary accordingly, but I can tell you that you’re definitely gonna experience solid use between charges out of the iPhone 11. If you’re a superuser and are stuck to a battery bank because you talk on the phone a lot, your best bet is generally going to be the Pro Max, the 11 Pro Max. But if you’re the kind of user who will still need a battery bank even with that phone, then you may consider that the larger phone may not get you more gains in the long run for the cost. Everything just works. You really can’t talk about it without talking about iOS, and though the interwebs have levelled well-deserved complaints at 2019’s iOS, and the fact that Apple has released a few updates to correct bugs and various issues in a very short span of time, iOS is still one of the most complete and frictionless ecosystems on the marketplace, in my opinion. Control Center is more customizable than ever and shows you more information than ever. You get to that additional information sans-3D touch, which is gone. And in its place is haptic touch. With haptic touch, you’ll actually get access to the Peek and Pop menus from 3D touch days, but this time by long-pressing the screen. You’ll feel a subtle vibration when you do, and then be presented with contextual menus for icons, and options in Control Center. We can do a whole review just on what all is packed in iOS 13, but some of my favourite features are built-in screen recording, which was actually added in iOS 12. Dark mode is my jam and makes smartphoning much easier on the eyes. (Yes, I just turned smartphone into a verb.) And I actually use the Reminders app now. It was redesigned, and the layout is clear, easy to navigate, and effective for me. [Tshaka] “Hey Siri.” [Siri] “Uh-huh?” [Tshaka] “Remind me next time I’m at Trader Joe’s to pick up blueberries.” [Siri] “Which location?” [Tshaka] “Fallbrook Avenue.” [Siri] “Okay, added.” Now the next time I arrive at that particular Trader Joe’s, I’ll get a pop-up message on my phone or my Apple Watch, reminding me to pick up those blueberries, without me having to do anything. This was actually one of the biggest issues for me as a content creator. I use my phone quite often to mark up files, send files to clients, or download and view content, and not having access to files like I was used to on a computer, and on an Android phone, was one of the things which kept me off of iPhones or iOS for the longest. Problem solved. This is perfect for quick items which are for proofing and approvals. Anything more than that and you’re still gonna wanna use your favourite photo editor, or video editor, but for quick things, iOS and the iPhone 11 are great. So, let’s wrap this up, shall we?
One less camera, not a big deal-breaker. A little less battery than the other two offerings, meh. A little less water resistance on the iPhone 11 than the two larger, or two Pro models, I don’t know. Maybe that’s important to you. A screen of lesser quality that most of us probably can’t tell the difference between, if we’re being honest.
Are those differences enough to get you to spend a few hundred dollars more for the Pro version? I don’t know, maybe it is. Let us know in the comments below. And it seems consumers have let Apple know, as a little side note, the holiday numbers have come in from some analysts, and the iPhone 11 actually accounted for something like 37% of total iPhone sales. Do with that what you will.
