iPhone 11 Pro – Gaming and PerformanceThe iPhone 11 Pro is flipping fast thanks to the new A13 Bionic chip. Even the 4GB of available memory and storage options (64GB, 256GB, and 512GB) are the same across both phones, so choosing between the regular iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max really is just a matter of picking which phone size you want. Otherwise, it features the same triple array of 12MP cameras and dual 12MP selfie (or slofie) cameras. This should grant the iPhone 11 Pro Max with a longer battery life than the other models, but I can’t verify that without testing it in house. That larger frame also houses a larger battery, 3,969mAh vs 3,046mAh, to get through long days. The two handsets are essentially identical except the Max model features a slightly bigger 6.5-inch display that’s also a bit higher-resolution, with 1,242 x 2,688 pixels (up from 1,125 x 2,436). What about the iPhone 11 Pro Max?While we haven’t tested it yet, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is what you should get if you’re looking for a bigger version of this phone. Face ID also has benefited from this as it’s a bit faster and more reliably if you’re looking at the front of the phone from an askew angle. What’s more, you can take slow motion selfie videos, which Apple has groaningly taken to calling them “slowfies.” These new selfie cameras also offer a slightly wider 85-degree field of view, so you can take pictures of a with a group of friends more easily. It even has upgraded the front-facing selfie cameras with a pair of 12MP sensors, a noticeable step up from the previous dual 7MP snappers. You can opt for either a dramatically abrupt punched-in or out effect, or you can move across the zoom range in one smooth motion. This is a huge boon for pro (or aspiring) videographers, as you can seamlessly swap between all three 12MP cameras and their different focal lengths without stopping and restarting. Unlike most multi-camera Android phones, the iPhone 11 Pro grants you full, instantaneous access to all three cameras whenever you’re shooting stills or video. Almost every major Android phone of 2019, such as the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, has had three cameras, but Apple has done some novel things with its implementation here that at least makes the wait a little more worth it. Getting back to the cameras, the addition of a third lens-a 13mm ultrawide-to complement the existing 26mm wide-angle and 52mm telephoto cameras was long-overdue. This phone also starts off with only a measly 64GB of storage and you’ll have to pay $150 or $350 more for the 256GB or 512GB models, respectively. Far less impressive is the 4GB of memory on every model of the iPhone 11 Pro. It’s biggest claim is it will allow the phone to last five hours longer compared to the previous XS model-a claim we’ll verify later on. “Another big hardware upgrade for the iPhone 11 Pro is the new A13 Bionic processor, which for the most part promises to be faster as usual. The intense brightness of this screen also makes it possible to overpower direct sunlight for outdoor viewing. This is something that was available on the previous iPhones and just about any handset with an OLED display, but it’s more striking thanks to this model’s exceptionally radiant display and iOS 13’s new Dark Mode. Pixels sitting right next to each other can go from completely black to burning bright without the slightest hint of haloing. Frankly, the iPhone 11 Pro’s display looks incredible. DisplayMate recently reported that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 achieved a peak brightness of 1,308-nits and a regular max brightness of 800-nits with a fully white screen. Samsung is one of the only other major brands that makes displays nearly as bright as the iPhone 11 Pro’s. Comparatively, the most Android phones peak around 600-nits or lower. With regular use, the display tops out at 800 nits, which is still pretty impressive from a device that fits in your pocket. To be clear, the phone’s display only gets that blindingly bright when you’re watching high dynamic range content, such as Blade Runner 2049 or John Wick: Chapter 2. This new phone’s 5.8-inch (1,125 x 2,436) “Super Retina” XDR OLED display can hit a peak brightness of 1,200-nits-a level not seen on even most 4K TVs-to support both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Aside from these differences in the casing, the iPhone 11 Pro has seen some pretty extensive upgrades in the screen department. Better yet, the matte finish has a slightly coarse texture, granting you a firmer purchase on it compared to the slick, glossy backs of Apple’s previous two high-end smartphones. I received one for review, and I’ve found that the new slightly off-olive color looks great in every light. Danielle Abraham + 1 moreThe other new thing about the iPhone 11 Pro, this one purely optional and aesthetic, is the Midnight Green color that joins the Space Gray, Silver, and Gold choices.
