This year, Apple introduced three smartphones: iPhone 11, iPhone and iPhone 11 Pro 11 Pro Max. The company develops hardware component on iPhone X chassis, which was released two years ago. In 2018, Apple released iPhone XR - a more affordable model with IPS-screen magnifying frame, as well as iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, who became the main flagships.

iPhone 11 succeeded compromise iPhone XR. This means that the iPhone 11 Pro took the baton from the iPhone XS, becoming the leading Apple's flagship in 2019.

Specifications

Equipment

The package includes a smartphone, stickers, documents, clip, earphones and EarPods adapter cable. The adapter is now 18-watt and cable - with connector USB Type-C. Apple fans have long waited for the replacement of the usual charger with 5 V and 1 A, and it happened.

Design and Ergonomics

The first thing that catches your eye - this is not even a new cell block, and the glass on the rear panel. It is frosted. Bull's-eye with the left glossy, like on the iPhone early, "aluminum" era.

The surface of the new iPhone looks nice and reminds the owner that he did not have last year's iPhone XS, a new flagship from Apple. Also decided the problem with grease spots: the panel is absolutely non-marking.

Glass iPhone 11 Pro - is not the latest iPhone gloss and aluminum earlier models, but something in between.

iPhone Pro 11 is on sale in four colors: the "gray space", silver, gold and dark green. Old colors look a little different because of the matte back.

But the new dark green, despite the expected popularity seems homely and a little like the "gray space".

We turn to the main external innovation - three chambers, spaced triangle. Live is obviously nicer than the first rendering. However, when the horizontal orientation of the screen on the telephoto lens, which is located at the center, constantly gets finger and grease stains can affect the quality of the photos. There is also a new block cameras cool sticky dust.

"Ten" and the subsequent pattern significantly staggered by pressing the angle of the smartphone when the latter lies on a horizontal surface. The increased area of ​​the unit cells is slightly offset this gap.

Also in the Apple range have transparent covers for new models. They are made not of silicon, like some other brands, but from hard plastic. However, the smart phone with him still loses some of the charm. And yet cover significantly slows down the side buttons.

In terms of ergonomics, nothing has changed - it's the same iPhone XS, potyazhelevshy a dozen grams. He weighty and fits nicely in the hand, and narrower than most of today's champions. Feels slightly changed Haptic feedback. Similarly, left the location of buttons: the power button - the right and the volume - the left. Over the last - toggle silent mode.

Screen

Impressions about the same as the top of the display Samsung: iPhone in 11 Pro is also one of the best screens are installed. When compared head to head with the iPhone XS qualitative changes are seen: 11 Pro correctly displays color at an angle and has a slightly larger margin of brightness.

The main change concerns the brightness: for Apple approval, it has grown to 800 nits. The text on the iPhone screen, Pro 11 easily discernible even in bright sunlight and can be lost only under the direct rays. For comparison: iPhone XS screen, to which the brightness and so had no complaints, gave out 625 nits.

True Tone, adjusts the color temperature under the environment, and Night Shift, makes the image warmer to bedtime, remained in place. Function Always On Display, which many expect from the new iPhone, has not appeared.

This year, the manufacturer has decided to abandon the 3D Touch. According to Apple the statement, this is not due to the economy, but with a desire to do the same smartphone (iPhone XR 11 as a function of the successor did not get). Withdraw from a good hard, but actually, in many scenarios, 3D Touch replaced the long press. Most people are confused by the need to long press the icon to uninstall the application: first, the system displays a new context menu, and then later light on program icons Tic. To this we have to get used to: it seems, Apple «kill» 3D Touch.

Sound

The sound was noticeably better, louder, cleaner, more volume. When listening to music, he can be compared with the sound unpretentious Bluetooth-column, while watching a movie - to create a credible sense of space. Well, relatively plausible: after all we have in the hands of the gadget, not audio.

Camera

On the back of the smartphone three cameras: ultrashirokougolnaya, wide-angle and a telephoto lens. Aperture - f / 2,4, f / 1,8 and f / 2,0, respectively. each lens resolution is 12 megapixels. The last two cameras is optical stabilization. All you can shoot video in 4K resolution with 60 FPS.

Apple is not the first to add a third lens. Such a set of we have seen even in subflagmanah Samsung and Xiaomi. More time will tell, why do we need three lenses.

Ultrashirokougolny lens has a shorter focal length, due to which the frame accommodates more space. The lens will help to remove the person on a background of the Eiffel Tower, without cutting its top, to make room interior frame for the announcement of the deposit or just a photo from an unusual angle. Ultrashirokougolny lens 11 iPhone Pro, though not very good at low light, but still It passes on the image quality of most competitors, sometimes lyapa erasure panel tick. Here are some examples of photos taken on the iPhone 11 Pro.

In the video, use ultrashirokougolnogo lens also gives unusual angles. Switch between lenses can be directly during the shooting.

Wide-angle lens - this is the main room, which we used to take pictures in any scenario. Telephoto lens - a lens with a longer focal length, which is suitable for shooting portraits and is responsible for the zoom.

Apple seriously revamped camera interface and switching between lenses made seamless. Do not you think, to what the camera take a photo - just control the zoom slider, and the system determines which lens to use. It is very convenient, and most importantly, makes you really enjoy additional lenses.

Now capture you do not see black borders at the top and bottom of the frame and zablyurennuyu readable lens "more." Also in the settings you can enable automatic shooting for two lens. Then, in the library to continue the frame that you removed, and while editing photos will be able to add an additional area to take a wide-angle camera.

A useful new feature in the camera interface: Now when you long press on the frame capture, you will automatically switch to video recording mode, while the right will be able to swipe your finger to let go and continue shooting. Conveniently.

In general, the camera application has become a little more complicated: some icons in the left panel hidden arrow. A couple more functions - and it will become overloaded, and because of this we often criticize manufacturers of Android-smartphone.

Another innovation, which Apple came last, but realized the best, - night mode. It is activated automatically when the lack of light when shooting at wide angle and a telephoto lens. It works like this: iPhone realizes that the frame may turn dark, the shutter speed, and then the magic happens. The photos are stunning. Sometimes a frame worked out the details that are almost invisible to the human eye, for instance after sunset, cloud.

Night mode will pull most shooting scenarios with a lack of light, but can not cope with the darkness. For example, when used in a windowless room with the door ajar camera offered to take pictures with a 10-second delay - get bad. Of course, the scenario is extreme, but failed the test reminds us that miracles do not happen and it is better to shoot the light.

Bleed the portrait mode: a new scenario lighting "Light Tone - B & W". He takes a picture of a black and white background with white and floods. With a special slider you can edit the light and shade. This update came on older devices with iOS 13But it seems that on the 11 Pro editing shadows works exactly.

Here are some examples of portraits. Now they can do both at the main camera, and the telephoto lens.

The front camera has not changed when you create a conventional selfie. But now on it is possible to remove sloufi - delayed video.

Portraits, made on the front camera, is not inferior in quality to those that can be removed to the rear lenses.

Apple has improved the work of microphones: now they are trying to capture the sound that is directly in the frame. Demonstrate this clearly can not - believe in the word. Apple also says Smart HDR pumping through which the camera is working plots of individual frames. Dark will receive a detailed, and the light does not illuminates. Here are some shots taken on the iPhone 11 Pro main lens.

Most iPhone Pro 11 Script makes it more cute pictures than any of the premium flagships, visited us in the editorial office, for example Mi 9 and Galaxy Note 10. Edition of The Verge also claimsApple iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max reviewThat the iPhone camera 11 Pro better than the Pixel and Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

Performance

All three iPhone, presented this fall, received a new six-core processor seminanometrovy A13 Bionic frequencies up to 2.65 GHz (for GSM Arena data) and 4 GB of RAM. In AnTuTu iPhone Pro 11 test knocked out 454,843 points, second only to the iPad Pro 3.

Compare 11 Pro iPhone to other smartphones, resorting to the specifications and results of benchmarks, not quite right. Apple has its processors, they have no need to increase the RAM, as the performance impact iOS work, which do not have devices of other brands.

Perhaps the best test - installing dozens of applications, system tuning and testing of all functions in a compressed period of time. No lag. Should increase the speed of operation Face ID, but it is either very quickly, or the sensor still "getting used" - usually face recognition occurs faster with time.

autonomy

New iPhone gaining autonomy: 11 Pro, according to Apple allegedly began working for 4 hours longer than iPhone XS. According to GSM Arena data, the battery capacity was 3190 mAh. That's enough for 18 hours of video playback and 65 hours - Music. In addition, the adapter "out of the box," smart phone is gaining half charge for half an hour.

Feels charging really was enough for the day. Especially to praise Apple for it does not want: to live the evening tables almost all flagships. But happily, it is now capable of it, and the top-end iPhone.

Protection

Improved moisture resistance: iPhone 11 Pro can be immersed for half an hour at a depth of 4 meters. However, what is the joy of the user - is unclear.

Apple has once again turned out. we have not shown supernova chips - made what race show off Android-leaders re-designed and added a new cell block, slightly drained software component, and forced to live a little longer iPhone. But that was enough: iPhone Pro 11 really want to use, and many have taken the decision to buy, do not delving into what happened there with the cameras, speakers and a processor.

This is not to ignore the trends in the Android-smartphone market. The impression is that their manufacturers are not catching up, and anticipate some Apple footsteps and offer innovations for far less cost.

11 iPhone Pro - the best choice for fans of the company are accustomed to the iOS and Apple's existing ecosystem. Everything is overshadowed by the price: it bites again. And this is probably the only reason to choose iPhone 11, some of the previous models and the flagship running Android.
