10 Good Reasons to Invest in the iPhone 11
We’ve had a lot happening in the area of telecommunication and mobile tech this year. Apart from a few breakthroughs which include the launching of 5G, higher telecom security, and more AI integration, you’ve got phone companies locked in a technology war.
Everyone from Huawei and Samsung to Apple and Xiaomi is battling to offer users better phones, better features, and enhanced efficiency. One of the top mobile phones released this year was none other than Apple’s iPhone 11. However, many are still wondering what exactly this new range of iPhones brings to the table. Even though Apple has most recently held between 10 and 20% of the overall phone market share, the company has always done enough to hold its position among the world’s leading phone companies.
Introducing the iPhone 11
The iPhone 11 was released on the 20th of September 2019, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max had already been open for order since the 13th of the month. Apart from Apple’s long-awaited iOS 13, this series of phones had created a fair bit of anticipation within the market.
Why Should I buy the iPhone 11?
A question that any sensible mobile user will likely ask themselves is whether or not the iPhone 11 or its sibling phones the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are worth the investment. In order to help you decide if you should invest in one of the sets from the iPhone 11 family, we’re going to elaborate on the reasons.
A-13 Bionic chip
The most spectacular pieces of tech that the iPhone 11 is fitted with is the A13 Bionic chip. With 18 cores, 8.5 billion transistors and 20% more processing speed than its predecessor the A12, this chip is quite the monster. For those of you less familiar with tech jargon, let’s just put it this way; the A13 is extremely powerful and will be giving the performance and efficiency of the 11 family iPhones a serious boost. It will also offer capability enhancement by way of language processing as well as the animation of characters in augmented reality apps.
Battery Life Improvement
Thanks in part to the A13 Bionic chip, as well as other internal tweaks, the iPhone 11 as well as the iPhone 11 Pro both, have higher power efficiency hence longer battery life durations. When compared to the previously released iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, the iPhone 11 allows users a brilliant four to five hours more when it comes to usage time respectively.
High-Key Mono
If you’re someone who enjoys monochromatic photography and portraiture, this feature is bound to appeal to you. The high-key mono feature works by adding a high-contrast monochrome filter to the image. This, in addition to the wide/telephoto lens framing option, gives users a lot more to work with when photographing people!
Night Mode
The night mode feature in the iPhone 11 has been greatly enhanced. Night mode is activated in situations where photo brightening and noise reduction may be required. The activation occurs automatically. Apart from this, users can opt for both automatic as well as manually adjustable light processing. The result is better low-light pictures across the board.
Deep Fusion
Besides an outstanding night mode function, the iPhone 11 also offers something called Deep Fusion to its users. This works by applying machine learning, allowing for the capture of photos under situations where light is within the low and medium range. Apart from this, the camera automatically takes nine photos prior to the user’s final click, which is then superimposed and merged to form one crisp image. Image formulation is conducted via what is known as the neural engine within the iPhone 11.
Quick Take
One of the things many Apple users may have had trouble with in the past is impromptu or spontaneous video capture. Video capture used to require turning on video mode before capturing something which would sometimes result in the moment in question being missed. No more! A new feature allows users to record videos simply by tapping and holding the camera’s shutter button. This is what developers have called the Quick Take feature.
Triple Camera
All three phones from the iPhone 11 family are the first in the line of iPhones to come with the triple camera setup. What’s even better is the tree cameras are set to different specifics, namely:
- Wide
- Ultra-wide
- Telephoto
Apart from this, the new setup also offers the following:
- 12MP sensors
- 120-degree field of vision
- Improved optical image stabilization
- Better image resolution and detail.
In a nutshell, your photo taking abilities with the new iPhones will probably go up a few notches.
Ultra-Wide Camera
Another photo-friendly feature in the new iPhone 11, as well as the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, is the ultra-wide photo capturing feature. Made possible by the three-camera setup, the feature provides a wider frame ideal for landscape pictures as well as for negative-space portraits. Apart from this, the feature also allows users to pull back when in spaces which are restrictive enhancing frame flexibility yet again.
Super-Retina XDR
All iPhones so far have come equipped with an LCD screen. This includes the iPhone 11. That said, both the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max have this component replaced with an OLED haptic touch Super Retina XDR display. Besides image quality that is superior due to features such as the two-million to one contrast ratio, this display allows for greater power efficiency, hence helping increase battery life.
Selfies
As you already know, the iPhone 11 offers several video enhancements and improvements. The front camera, in particular, has received certain upgrades which include a widened megapixel sensor as well as landscape-mode rotation capabilities for selfie-taking. It is the 4K video taking abilities as well as the cameras enhanced 30fps dynamic range that makes it possible for users to take slow-motion selfies.
Does the iPhone 11 Support 5G?
No the Apple iPhone 11 does not support 5G. However, this really shouldn’t be a point of deterrence. As one article published by The Verge elaborates, developers and professionals at Apple agree that 5G connections and tech still have a lot of fine-tuning that needs to be done. We agree! It’s a long way before you’ll be able to enjoy uninterrupted and consistent global 5G access. In the meantime, your 4G capabilities should suit you just fine!
Is the iPhone 11 Available in Stores
The iPhone 11 as well as the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have all been available in stores and can even be ordered over the internet. Starting price for the 11 is USD699 which is a lot less than its predecessor the iPhone XS was when it launched!
Winding Down
If you’re wondering if the iPhone 11 has enough to warrant an upgrade from your old iPhone, then the answer is yes. This is even so if you invested in the previously released iPhone XS or XS Max. The iPhone 11 has received quite a tech do-over, and if it’s within your range, we say go for it!
