- This is the iPhone 11.
No Pro.
No Max.
The most basic iPhone
you can get right now.
And for most people, it's the one to buy
so here are the five things
you need to know about it.
(playful hiphop music)
Number one, it's cheaper, relatively.
The iPhone 11 is $700.
That's $300 cheaper than the Pro
and that does mean fewer
cameras and less battery life
but it also means some weird stuff,
like the bezels actually
seem a lot chunkier
and the glass on the back
(thudding) may be the toughest yet
but it's also a huge thumb print magnet.
It just feels kinda glossy and
slippery compared to the Pro.
But the biggest difference is the display,
which brings us to
number two, the display.
The iPhone 11 has a 6.1" LCD display.
That's a little bigger than the iPhone Pro
and a little smaller than the Pro Max.
It's a really pretty LCD display
but there are some noticeable differences
between it and the Pro.
Mainly it's just not as bright
and it's probably not gonna
be as energy-efficient.
However the thing I really notice,
I want you to come here.
Now look right here where
the display meets the bezel.
It's just a little fuzzy
and it's super distracting.
Not distracting is this good boy.
So let's talk about number
three, the image sensor.
The camera sensor is a huge improvement.
This is a 4K video,
where I'm shooting directly
into the setting sun,
but look at the detail.
You can see every strand
of fur on the dog,
every grain of sand on the beach.
The iPhone 11 has a new sensor,
so you get 4K video up
to 60 frames-per-second,
with a much better dynamic range.
That means shots that
should be totally blown out
by the setting sun are nice and peaceful.
It also means you can
use the new Night mode,
found only on the 11 and the Pro.
The Night mode lets you pull off shots
that would otherwise be too blurry or dark
but you do have to choose
between it and the flash
and it only works with
one lens on the camera.
Which brings us to the
fourth thing you need to know
about the iPhone 11.
The cheap one only has
two cameras on the back.
Now, one is the same 26 millimeter lens
found on the Pro, 10r, and 10s.
The other is the equivalent
of a 13 millimeter lens
on a full front camera.
That's super wide, so
photos are super dramatic,
sometimes too dramatic.
I occasionally feel like I'm just using
a cool Instagram filter.
Personally, I would've preferred
to zoom in rather than out
but any flexibility is an upgrade
over the single-lens phones,
like the 10r and the A.
And speaking of upgrades, let's
talk about the battery life.
The fifth thing you need
to know about the iPhone 11
is it has pretty solid battery life.
I mean, it's not as good
as the Pro or the Pro Max,
they both lasted way longer on a charge,
but it is better than my two year-old 10
and better than the 10r and
for $700, that's pretty good.
Now, if you're really upset
about the lack of the zoom
or the okay battery life
or the display that's just a
little fuzzy around the edges,
suck it up, spend $300
more, and get the Pro.
But for everybody else,
I honestly think the
11 is more than enough.
