iPhone 11 Pro Vs iPhone 11 - Which Should You choose?

iPhone 11 pro in the iPhone 11 have been out for a little while and if you are trying to decide which one to get I'm hoping this will help you to make a decision which one is best for you.

Now the first thing is the colours the iPhone 11 Pro comes in this new midnight green colour it also comes in Space Gray which I have here in the pro max which they are identical in every way except their size and you also have a silver and gold as well on top of those two colours with the iPhone 11 you have an all-new green colour also have a new purple along with white, black, yellow and red so those are all the colours that are available for these devices.

Now the actual price of them is a little bit different in fact the iPhone 11 pro comes in at $300 above what we have with the iPhone 11 so the prices start at $9.99 and go all the way to 1349 at those prices you have got the option for 64 256 or 512 gigabytes of storage it is not expandable storage in either of the devices on the iPhone 11 this one comes in at $6.99 which is $50 cheaper than last year's iPhone 10 our model and goes all the way to eight hundred and forty-nine dollars. It comes in 64 128 or 256 gigabytes of storage the sweet spot is 128 gigabytes for the iPhone 11. Since it's only $50 more so I would go for that if you need a little bit more storage it's seven hundred and forty-nine dollars now the actual construction of both of these devices is a little bit different the iPhone 11 Pro is made out of stainless steel so it's got a stainless steel band all the way around it's both glass back and front and it's supposed to be stronger glass this year on both devices but the pro and the pro max also have a matte finish on the back.

Whereas the camera bump is really a glossy finish Apple has changed this on the iPhone 11 models and swapped that around. So you will see that the back is glossy on the iPhone 11 where the camera bump is actually a little bit of a matte texture so it's all one piece of glass now the construction of the iPhone 11 is aluminium and you have this aluminium ring around the outside edge similar to the iPhone 10 are of last year but that is the main difference.

As far as to build when it involves the particular weight of them the load is extremely similar the iPhone 11 pro is six point six three ounces or 188 grams the iPhone 11 is six point eight four ounces or 194 grams so they're very close and weight and you are doing have that size difference though because this is often aluminium it will be a little bit lighter than the pro max model.

if you're going for that now the big factor that is different between both of these is the display on the iPhone 11 pro you have an OLED display which has more vibrant colours along with a higher pixel density. So you've got 2436 by 1125 with 458 pixels per inch this year Apple calls it an excellent Retina XDR display it allows for HDR video if you're using the Apple TV app. But you can still only watch 1080p on YouTube and that's due to a dispute with Apple and Google and not supporting different versions of codes that allow you to watch those videos as far because the iPhone 11 goes this is often a lower resolution display but it is a liquid Retina display it's probably the simplest retina LCD on the market at this point it's 1792 by 828 pixels with a density of 326 pixels per inch. You still cannot see the pixels and the display does support HDR 10 and you can watch 1080p videos on YouTube. When you're watching a YouTube video you can't see the pixels when you look at them side-by-side they look great overall and I think most people that are not really into specs and things like that will notice no difference whatsoever other than vibrance of an OLED display you will have brighter colours and deeper blacks because on an OLED display. Where there is the colour black it actually turns off those pixels. It also goes a lot brighter on the pro you have 800 nits when it's turned all the way up and it can peak up to 1200nits on the iPhone 11. It's hard to show you on this camera but the iPhone 11 goes to about 600 nits as far as its maximum brightness right around those areas. So they're fairly bright they're both viewable in sunlight but they are a little bit different.

Now this year all devices that are new have haptic touch 3d touch is gone so that means it's replaced with a long press you still get all of the same features you would before for the most part but it's more of a long press it's not as intuitive and you actually don't feel like you're pushing into the screen to activate those shortcuts. So if you push on it it's not exactly the same but it's the same between all of the new devices so you're not compromising when switching from device to device.

The speakers on both of them are equally loud they both support Dolby Atmos. They both have a nice stereo wide stereo sound you have a top speaker up here at the top where you listen to your phone calls but it's also projecting sound towards you and then at the bottom you also have speakers but they're a little bit different as far as the size or as or at least the way they look now as you can see together due to the antenna lines it's a little bit asymmetric on the iPhone 11 Pro this isn't really an issue the sound is all the same and these are the microphone and speaker array so overall it's very good now.

The batteries are also differentiating factors when it comes to both of these the iPhone 11 Pro has a 3046 million power battery whereas the iPhone 11 has a slightly larger 3110 million power battery however the iPhone 11 Pro tends to get about one to two hours more in battery life overall with the screen-on time that's due to the efficiency of the OLED display new efficiencies. The Apple has made this year also because the new a 13Bionic chipset so you'll get good battery life in both but the 11pro may get you an additional hour or two and speak of that chipset the 13 Bionicis in both of these devices you have the same chipset.

You have an equivalent amount of RAM everything is that the same as far as performance between both of them so if you're opening an application maybe you're opening settings you'll notice that they open at the exact same rate if you're doing any tasks that are more intense you're really not going to see a difference when it comes to any of those. It's equally fast on both devices there is zero compromises picking one over the other when it comes to speed performance and all-day usage. There is also no compromise when it comes to face ID they are equally fast they unlock at the same rate because they are the same version of face ID. They work really well and that also leads me to the cameras which are the exact same cameras on the front this year.

So, if I go into the cameras flip the screen around they are both 12-megapixel sensors they're true depth cameras you can do emoji and emoji me emoji whatever you'd like you can do that with the forward-facing cameras and then you can record 4k 60p videos. So if you would like to record video I actually recorded the iPhone 11 Pro video that I did as far because the review completely with the camera on the 11pro. So they're all 12megapixel sensors but the iPhone 11 is lacking a zoom lens but it still can zoom digitally. The two Apple does a really good job at two times zoom to give you the best result possible. So I wouldn't say you're missing a whole lot unless you need to zoom past 2x you really don't need anything as far as the telephoto lens instead you've got wide and ultra-wide. Which I think is much more useful for most people and their incredible cameras they both record in4k 60p if you'd like to do that high frame rates for slow-motion they both have portrait mode this year too and they both can do portraits of animals or objects.

So if we go into portrait mode last year because we only had one lesson the iPhone 10 R we could only take portraits of people instead now we can take portraits of flowers or anything else. We would like also now one among the opposite big factors between both of those is that the OLED display actually has PWM or flicker that you simply can't see with your eye but affect some people and give them headaches or make them feel nauseated and you can see that here in slow motion. Where the iPhone 11 Pro is really flickering all the time in the movie you only can't see it. But otherwise, it's flickering and that helps It control brightness and that really affects some people's eyes gives them headaches like I said so the iPhone 11 does not have that because it's an LCD. So that's something to consider although the flicker rate is better this year than it was in previous years. I don't seem to get headaches like I used to so it is better overall but it's still something to consider now the overall size of both phones is very similar.

However, the iPhone 11 Pro is slightly larger due to that larger display and does feel a little bit bulkier so if you're coming from an iPhone, for example, the iPhone 11 Pro may be an excellent compromise of a bigger display and an easier size. However, if you want a giant phone you'll want to step up to the iPhone 11 Pro max where it is much bigger and much more noticeable in the hand when you're holding. It so just keep that in mind the size is not a big deal for most people especially if you like the larger phone but, if you want a smaller phone the 11pro is the way to go now the good thing.

In this year both devices have ip68 certification the iPhone 11 Pro actually has a little bit better IP 68 and what that means is water resistance although you should still use a case if you're going to bring it underwater because Apple does not cover that water damage. If it does get damaged so for example the iPhone 11 pro has I ate up to four meters deep for 30 minutes the iPhone 11 has two meters deep for up to 30 minutes. So it's very similar just a little bit different both devices support fast charging where you can get 50 per cent battery life in 30 minutes but only the 11 Pro comes with the fast charger within the box the iPhone 11 comes with the 5-watt charger. If you want faster charging then you have to purchase that separately now between both of these they're almost the same with the exception of the size the display. The battery life and then the lack of the telephoto lens other than that they're almost identical in the way either one is a great choice if you're trying to figure that out and if you're on a budget get the 11 you won't disappoint. If you're really looking for the best in the top of the line then get the pro either one I think you'll be happy with but let me know which one you'll choose and why? In the comments section. Thank you 😊😊😊😊

iPhone 11 Detailed Review

"Music" If you are in the market for a new iPhone, this is the one you should be getting. Not the iPhone 11 Pro, not the 11 Pro Max, not the new iPhone SE, but the iPhone 11. And we tend to overlook some of the wrinkles that are clearly visible after a while. It also gives the phone some time to mature, both physically as in showing us its durability and how it withstands to daily wear and tear, and give the software some time to fix some of the minor bugs, that is always a part of any new device. In the US there is a $300 difference between the price of the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. But in India, the difference between these phones is almost $525. Making the iPhone 11 the popular choice. And honestly, for the extra price, other than the higher resolution OLED displays, and 1 extra camera at the back, there is not a lot that the Pro’s offer over the regular iPhone 11. 2 things that disappointed most people more than anything, when this phone came out, were the lower resolution display, and the measly 5-watt charger in the box. And one of those things still annoys me. It is a 5-watt charger. This phone supports fast charging via the18 watt fast charger that comes with the iPhone 11 Pro models, but you will have to buy that charger, and the USB C to lightning cable separately. I have the iPad Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro, so I use that 18-watt charger to juice this phone up, and I don’t think I can ever go back to charging my phone with the 5-watt charger again. About the lower-resolution LCD screen that everyone was so angry about, truth is, you won’t even notice that it is not an OLED display. 

It was the same for the iPhone XR. Last year I switched from the iPhone XS Max to the iPhone XR, and this year I am using both the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max together. But unless I am holding the phone just a few inches from my face (which we never are in normal day to day usage), or I am using a camera to zoom way in on these displays, I can barely tell the difference in resolution. Apple calibrates their LCD panels better than anyone in the industry, and the colour accuracy and viewing angles on this display are simply the best amongst any LCD displays out there. You might hear about the specs and straightaway think that it is inferior to even many of the budget smartphones. But all displays are not created equal, and this one is much nicer than the LCD screens that the budget devices have. Something that I would say I miss when moving from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 11 is the support for HDR playback. Other than that, unless you compare these displays side by side, it is difficult to tell the difference between OLED and LCD, yes Apple’s LCD displays are that good. You don’t have to take my word for it, go to the nearest Apple store or one of their resellers, and check the display out for yourself. You just have to see one to believe it. I think the 6.1 inch is very comfortable display size. Actually, I think a 5.8 inch iPhone 11 at an even lower price point, would have been the ideal device for my needs. The notch is still there, and it is just as big as it was on the iPhone X. At first, I was not too bothered by this notch, because the tech that hides behind that notch works perfectly. But having a look at what Android manufacturers are doing with the notch, I’ve started to wish that the notch was a bit smaller. It is not too intrusive, or anything, and just like you forget about the display having a slightly lower resolution than other smartphones, you also get used to the notch and start looking past it in a day or 2. What I miss on this iPhone 11 and even on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, is that 3D touch is now replaced with Haptic Touch. While Haptic touch made way for a bigger battery and lets you use most functions of the 3D touch by long-pressing on a particular part, it misses out on some features, and it is not as fast. I was one of the few people who used 3D toucha lot, so much so, that I made a dedicated video showing what all it can do, and now that it is gone, I miss it. - Design of the iPhone 11 is identical to that of the iPhone XR, with just the addition of the extra camera in a raised square camera module at the back. 

While it’s not too different, I do not mind having this design, as it worked pretty well for me. There are now different colour options to choose from. I would have loved to see the matt glass back on the iPhone 11, just like the 11 Pro. But that process seems to be a bit costly, and including it on the iPhone 11 would have increased its price. - I talked about the durability at the start and I would like to elaborate a bit on that. Like on the iPhone XR, Apple has again used anodised aluminium for the frame of this iPhone 11, which has held up pretty great for me so far. Most of the time I do have a case on it, but every now and then I use it without a case. And I have accidentally banged it against a wall once, but it didn’t even gather a scratch. This year Apple is using the same best gorilla glass that corning has to offer, for the front and back glass of this phone, as they do on iPhone 11 Pros. Which means even the lower-priced iPhone 11, gets top of the line protection. Now my iPhone had held up pretty well against the scratches, but I have seen other peoples phone gathering some big scratches, from nothing but carrying them in their pockets. So although Apple says this is the toughest glass, it won’t hurt to use a well-tempered glass screen protector. This phone also has a better resistance against water. XR was able to withstand being submerged under 1m of water for 30 min, and the 11 can be submerged in 2m of water for up to 30 min. - Remember, I came to the iPhone 11 after using the iPhone XR for a long time. So the cameras while falling 1 lens short than the Pro’s is still an upgrade for me, both in quality and quantity. While the camera on the iPhone XR was a beast, the ones on the iPhone 11 are even better. 

Both the normal and wide cameras are the same as the ones on the iPhone 11 Pro. Features like a better smart HDR algorithm, Deep Fusion and Night mode, makes this the best camera at its price. The front camera also gets a bump in resolution from 7 to 12 megapixels, and now you can take normal or wide selfies with it. I have made a very detailed video about the cameras on the iPhone 11, with a lot of image and video samples from various lighting situations. Make sure to check that out for a detailed look into the cameras. Apple is not doing anything too crazy like adding a lot of megapixels, or an absurd amount of zoom to one of its lenses. But whatever they are doing, has been working out pretty well. I just hope they start using physically larger sensors like some of the recent Huawei and Samsung phones. I just want to see what Apple can achieve with that sort of data and their computational photography algorithms. All of that may be in store for the next iPhones, but on the iPhone 11, we are left with these cameras, and I think they are capable of taking on any of the competing smartphones. The video performance of iPhones has been the best for some time now. It is so good, that many times when I am taking outdoor shots, I take a few shots with this phone, and mix them up in the video. And even after watching, no one can differentiate between shots taken with the iPhone 11 and my DSLR. - If you have ever used an iPhone, you know that performance is not one of the things that you have to worry about. iPhone 11 gets the same Apple A13 Bionic Processor as the Pros. So just as you would expect, iPhone 11 can handle anything that you can throw at it. In fact, there are not many apps out there which can fully take advantage of the hardware that this phone packs in. 

All this headroom means this iPhone 11 is built to last. As and when developers will develop better apps in the future, this phone will be able to run them without any issue. Apple generally provides software updates and support for any phone for 5 years. So rest assured that the performance of this phone will last far longer than your willingness to use it. Chances are, you might get bored and want to upgrade to a newer iPhone just because it is available, and not because there is some issue with the performance of this one. Software and hardware work hand in hand on the iPhones like they do on no other phones. Apple tightly integrates the software and hardware and keeps most of it under walled gardens, and that’s the reason performance of these iPhones is so good. Everything, right from the processor is designed by Apple, so they know how to get the most out of their hardware via the software, at any given time. The simplicity of iOS is what attracts most people to iPhones. And if you have more than 1 Apple devices, all of them work together flawlessly. Like with many other devices, there were a few bugs on the iPhone 11 at the launch. But with each subsequent updates, Apple has been fixing them and adding more features to the phone. I think iOS 13 has been Apples buggiest version of iOS till date, and that i just hope, they straighten things out on the iOS 14, right from the beginning. I know any operating system has its share of bugs, and I am glad that Apple has been on top of fixing them bugs right from the early days on this phone. But I would expect that a huge company like Apple, with its huge program for developers and Beta testers, would iron this bugs out prior to releasing these versions to all the users.

Somethings I wish Apple gives us with the next version of iOS is relatively bug-free experience from the start, ability to put some sort of widgets on the home screen. I know I can put some widgets on the leftmost page, but that is not nearly as convent as having them on your main homepage. I would also wish to have the ability to use multiple apps at the same time. With the screen becoming bigger, I think we can easily use at least 2 apps at a time, if not more. I would also like for them to add night mode to the ultra-wide lens and more importantly, to the front-facing camera. And maybe a few more computational photography features to make the cameras even better. I love that with each new update Apple has kept on adding a couple of new features to the present phone. Features like the deep fusion mode, which helps camera take much better and detailed images in indoor light were added later on, and even the option to change the video resolution and frame rate right from the viewfinder was added to iOS 13 in a later update. There are a lot of more small features that they have kept on adding, so these updates have not just been about fixing bugs. If there is something on the hardware side that I don’t like, it has to be the storage option. I don’t like that these iPhones still start at 64GB, because for the price this high, 128GB should be standard. You can obviously pay Apple more and bump up the storage. For the iPhone 11 Pro, after 64GB, you get the 256GB storage option, and in India with the current pricing, you have to pay Rs.14,700 to go from 64 to 256GB. With the iPhone 11, after the 64GB variant, there is the 128GB storage option. While it costs Rs.5300 to go from 64 to 128GB, if you want to go with 256GB of internal storage, you will have to spend Rs.15,800, which is 1100Rs. more than what you would have to spend on the Pros. Which doesn’t make any sense? 64Gb sounds good enough for most people, but if you plan on using this phone for 3 to 4 years, choosing the 128GB storage option is a smarter thing to do. - Last year, I went with the XS Max because I wanted the battery on my iPhone to last me an entire day, but as it turns out, iPhone XR had an even better battery life so I switched to it. Having a battery that lasts for more thana day is important to me, so knowing that this iPhone 11 could last even longer than the XR, was an amazing thing.

My normal day to day usage compromises of an hour or so of making and receiving calls, about an hour or so of video calls, watching youtube videos for about half an hour, listening to music for about an hour, Constantly checking twitter and Instagram feeds throughout the day, chatting on iMessage and WhatsApp, and streaming some shows on Amazon Prime, Netflix or Apple TV, and taking a few images and videos here and there. And with this usage, I mostly end my day with more than 30% of the battery still remaining. Sometimes, I need more than a day’s battery on my phone, because I drive a lot, and during those days, navigation apps are used a lot, and sometimes I just forget to carry my charger. So having a battery that can go on for more than a day, is very important on those days. When it is time to charge the phone, I just hate that Apple still included a 5-watt charger with the 11. I have a few 18watt Power Delivery chargers, and after having used it, I never went back to the 5-watt charger. I also have a wireless charger on my desk and on my bedside table, so sometimes, like when I am scripting for a video or doing some other work at the desk, I just place it on these docs, and it is pretty much fully juiced up when I get off the desk. Now, this is definitely the least expensive of all the iPhone that Apple announced at their last major keynote, but it is in no way the lighter iPhone or the less powerful one in any way. So Apple was right to not call it the XR 2or something like that and just go with the iPhone 11 because this is every bit as powerful as the iPhone 11 Pros. With all that being said for me, this iPhone11 has held up pretty well for the past 6 odd months, and I am sure it is still an amazing phone to buy, even if the next phones are scheduled to launch later this year. It is an amazing value for money and offers you most of the features that the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max do, at a much lower price point. 

In China Apple has reduced the price of this phone, considerably. So if they follow that by further reducing its price as they did with the iPhone XR last year, iPhone 11 will be even more popular in India, and I am sure people will choose it over the iPhone XR. Most people getting a new iPhone are bound to use it for 2 years or more, so it is only fair to get the one that offers you most of the latest features that you would use, for a reasonable price. So if money is a factor in your buying decision, going with the iPhone 11 over the 11 Pro is the smarter choice. I’ve mentioned a few times that I am using this with the 11 Pro max, and I think I might sell that one hold on to this iPhone 11 until the next iPhones arrive. If we believe some of the news that is floating around, that could be longer wait than normal this year, due to the outbreak and manufacturing and supply constraints. So if you are looking to buy a new iPhone, and unless you have a ton of money which you don’t need, iPhone 11 is the one to get. I also understand that the iPhone XR is much cheaper than the iPhone 11 in India, and some of you might want to know what do you missout on, by going that route. So if enough of you are interested iPhone 11 and iPhone XR. Same with the new iPhone SE. iPhone 11 is clearly a much better alternative than the newly released iPhone SE.  How many of you own an iPhone 11, and how has your experience been so far. I would like to know. I would also like to know if any of you are planning to it the iPhone 11 and what drove you to it. So let’s spark up a few conversations in the comments section. Take care.😊😊😊😊
