Apple iPhone 11 (64GB) - Purple

Product Information

The inbuilt filters, applied at shooting, allow you to decide on the look of the snap before pressing the shutter button. That's fine, and the implementation works well when you get used to the 'rhythm' of having to wait – but it means that when you hold down on icons on the home screen you’ll now need to choose the option to rearrange apps (or wiggle your finger on the screen slightly), rather than it just happening naturally. iPhone 11: battery life One of the highlights of the iPhone XR was that it was easily one of the longest-lasting iPhones we’d seen, if not the longest-lasting. Both the dual camera and the 12 MP selfie camera are capable of shooting 4K video with a maximum of 60 fps. In addition, the main camera offers time-lapse. To make switching between photo and video modes as easy as possible, Apple has revised the system of controls. With the touch of a finger, you can now switch directly from one to the other. The same applies to switching from wide-angle to ultra-wide angle. The convenient user interface reproduces both angles, so you can determine which lens is best for any particular subject. Moreover, a new feature called Deep Fusion takes 8 shots, including a long-exposure. It then selects the best pixel from each image. Creative Photo Modes

The 11 gets the same A13 Bionic chipset as the two Pro models. Apple claims it is 20% faster than last year's A12. Paired with 4 GB RAM, it should offer a noticeable boost in the area of gaming performance as well as overall system performance compared to previous models. Longer Battery Life Clearly Apple still clearly believes that this is necessary to house the front-facing camera and advanced FaceID sensor to let users get into their phone. As far as size, the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 11 falls between the Pro (5.8) and the Pro Max (6.5). It is an LCD panel rather than OLED, and with 1792 x 828 pixels, only delivers HD resolution. A13 Bionic Chipset We activated all the right settings but making the picture wide after taking it is not something that’s going to be easy to do for most.Apple made a lot of noise about how the iPhone 11 can shoot 4K footage at 60 frames per second (fps), and it had good reason to: having such a feature on a phone at this price is attractive to a lot of people. The results are startling, elevating Apple to the level of Huawei, Samsung and Google when it comes to taking low-light and night photos – and in some ways enabling it to surpass its rivals. Night mode can make photos shot at 1am look as if they were taken in late afternoon, and if you can get your subjects to remain still, you’ll take great snaps. The ability to change Wi-Fi networks from within the Control Center is a really useful one – now you no longer need to open up the Settings menu to switch. The iPhone 11 is Apple's 2019 budget option. It offers several upgrades over last year's affordable phone, most notably to the processor and the main camera. But the real highlight is the price. It launched at less than 2018's iPhone XR. Of course, it's not Apple's flagship phone. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max share that position, and they are better spec'd. Nonetheless, it offers upgrades over the XR at a lower launch price. Due to the release of the 2019 iPhones, the XR and the iPhone 8 have both dropped in price.

We also noticed a definite improvement in exposure and contrast, even over the iPhone XS from the previous year, with more definition and detail in the shadowy areas.

Versatile Video

In reality that just translates to a solid experience when flipping in and out of apps - although we did note that the speed in firing up the camera was a little slow, and processing pictures took longer than expected for a modern phone. The High Key Light Mono mode is generally pretty accurate and allows you to appear in your very own Calvin Klein advert.

Update: The newer model Apple iPhone 12 and its smaller version the iPhone 12 mini are now available! You may also want to buy the Apple AirPods Pro or AirPods 2 to go with your new iPhone. IP68 Waterproof The iPhone 11's Liquid Retina display might not be the highest-res out there, but it's clear and bright. (Image credit: TechRadar) This is a nice feature that’s going to appeal to those who want to share video clips to social media with ease. You don’t get the same low-light capabilities for video (more on that in a moment), but it’s smooth and defaults to the settings you’ve already set, so you can be shooting high-end 4K footage in a matter of seconds. Whether you’re in a sort-of-dark situation, or focusing a tripod-mounted phone at the night sky, there’s a setting that enables you to make what would normally be a badly-lit photo look as clear as… well not quite as clear as day, but wonderfully bright. Let’s talk about something that does work well – the low-light performance. Historically Apple’s iPhone cameras have never been great here, but with its improved AI smarts the iPhone 11 is capable of rendering some amazing night snaps.This works by the iPhone 11 automatically telling you to hold the handset steady for 2-5 seconds so that the shutter can stay open for longer; the phone then captures a number of photos at different exposures and sharpness levels, before merging the data to produce the very best photo possible.
