Apple has launched the trio new 2019 model iPhone called iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Max in September.

Apple offers iPhone 11 in Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red, and White color options and you can choose any color without extra cost  

Design and Body material

Apple iPhone 11 has square modules for the dual-camera sensor on the back panel, and its frame built with aluminum. Apple makes this device with minor curved on the screen seems like an iPhone XR, and Custom Gorilla Glass protects the front panel. In terms of physical keys, it has a silent button and volume keys on the left side while the power button and SIMs slot on the right side. Apart from the dual-camera setup iPhone 11 has another difference from iPhone XR; the Apple logo set at the center on the rear panel. Nonetheless, except for some differences in design, the iPhone 11 overall looks like a predecessor (iPhone XR). The big-notch also houses a two sensor for selfie experience on the front panel. Dimensionally iPhone 11 has 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm, and 194 grams weight is identical to the iPhone XR. This device is IP68-rated for dust and IP67 for water-resistant, and it can survive in 2-meter deep water for 30 minutes.

Display

The Apple iPhone 11 has Liquid Retina 6.1 inches IPS LCD with 326 PPI density, and the big notch on the top seems like iPhone XR. LCD instead of OLED display is one of the most significant differences in iPhone 11 and 11 pro models, The screen resolution is 828 x 1792 pixels, which do not support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, so if you like to see HDR videos, then you need to buy iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max. At 100 percent brightness, we measure 644 nits maximum brightness that is very well. Another unique thing is the lower brightness level user can adjust it as low as 2.3 nits. In terms of color accuracy, we measured an average DeltaE of 1.1 and a maximum deviation of 2.4 against sRGB, and iPhone 11 also offers DCI-P3, which is automatically enabled when DCI-P3 content sent to the screen.

Battery

Apple iPhone 11 packs a 3,110 mAh battery, which is slightly improved than the iPhone XR’s battery capacity of 2,940 mAh. It can fast charge with 18W through USB Power Delivery and also supports Qi-compatible wireless charging. Sadly, Apple has ships 5W charger with this device, and it takes 30 minutes to 55% charge battery. In terms of battery timing, the iPhone 11 can do about 18 hours of 3G calls, about 15.5 hours browsing, and 18 hours videos playback. Additionally, iPhone 11 has a 94h battery Endurance rating (16h up from iPhone XR’s 78h).

Software (iOS 13)

As usual, the new iPhone always comes with the latest Apple iOS. However, the iPhone 11 arrives with iOS 13 out of the box. iOS 13 has many updates; system-wide dark theme, improvements to battery life and charging, and update apps with new look and features. Along with iOS 13, Apple has introduced to group notifications, Screen Time, better DND mode, and expended battery stats. With a bit wider front sensor, Apple promises that Face ID works at wider angles, and we can add the second face as an Alternate Appearance option. The lock screen is very simple, it has two shortcuts flashlight icon and camera, while the home screen has apps icons naturally. We can enable dark mode in the night time, and it will also automatically enable when we need (night time). We experience four terms – Years, Day, Months, and All photos in the photo app. We can use sign-in with the Apple feature for authentication.

Performance and benchmarks

Under the hood, the iPhone 11 powered by the fastest Chipset of A13 Bionic, and it is constructed on a 7nm+ Hexa-core processor. Along with 2x2.65 GHz, the Hexa-core processor has 20 percent faster and 30 percent more efficient performance. The A13 SoC has 20% faster and 40% more efficient GPU in performance as compared to previous A12’s GPU. In terms of benchmarks, iPhone 11 has 5477 (single-core) rank, which is 15% faster than any Android flagship Smartphone like Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10e. Along with the multi-core, iPhone 11 has 13882 rank, which is 20% faster than previous versions iPhone XS and iPhone XR.

The new four-core GPU gets 20% performance upgrade therefore iPhone 11 has 179 rank in GFX 3.0 Manhattan (1080p offscreen) and 121 rank in GFX 3.1 Manhattan (1080p offscreen). After all, in AnTuTu 7 test, the iPhone 11 gets 419453 rank, which is slightly down from iPhone 11 Pro, but more than iPhone XR. No doubt, the A13 Chipset (used in iPhone 11) is faster to A12 in long time performance.

Rear camera setup

The iPhone 11 has a significant upgrade in rear camera setup, new squire camera design not much appreciated, but dual sensors are incredible. The primary shooter of this device has large 1.4µm pixels, 26mm wide f/1.8, OIS, dual pixel AF, and dark mode feature as well as Deep fusion. The secondary camera is 12-megapixels with a 120-degree field of view. With rear camera setup, we enable automatically adjustment image feature, which will be work from the ultra-wide shooter. In this feature, the camera automatically suggests members while we take a photo in group shape. The deep fusion is coming as a software update; in this feature, we take four different shots with one click. The dual-camera setup can record 4K videos at both 30fps and 60fps. Let’s talk about image quality; the photos from iPhone 11 are very well in the result. The image quality of an ultra-wide shooter is good, but not perfect because it has no dark theme feature, so we can’t get a better result in image in the night time. In portrait mode, we can choose a white background for add-in image and also add lighting effects and blur strength (default is f/2.4).

Selfie Camera

The iPhone 11 has a fantastic dual-camera setup on the front panel for selfie experience. In the year of 2018, we meet with the sole model of trio iPhones; iPhone XR, it came with dual sensors 7-megapixel primary and 3D Time-Of-Flight camera. But now, we experience 12-megapixel primary shooter (bigger than iPhone XR’s 7MP) and same 3D TOF sensor for Face ID authentication with iPhone 11. The central front camera of the iPhone 11 has a 12-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture. iPhone 11’s primary shooter is 23mm wider, while iPhone XR has a 7-megapixel sensor with 32mm wide f/2.2 aperture. Along with the 12-megapixels sensor on the front panel, we can take selfies with HDR and portrait mode, and also record 4k videos at 30 / 60fps.
