**The New iPhones: A Closer Look**

Hey guys, this is Austin. Today, we're going to talk about the new iPhones that have been released. Specifically, we'll be looking at the iPhone 11 Pro and why you shouldn't buy it.

**Why I Wouldn't Buy the iPhone 11 Pro**

I've spent the last year using the iPhone X and one of the main reasons for that was battery life. However, this year things have changed with the release of three new models: the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

**Design and Display**

At their core, these new iPhones are very similar to last generation's design. The iPhone 11 can be thought of as a follow-up to the XR, with basically the same displays. That means no OLED display, which is fine for me. However, there are other things that make the iPhone 11 a pretty compelling upgrade.

**Apple A13 Bionic Chip**

One of those upgrades is the new Apple A13 bionic chip. While it doesn't seem like it's a major upgrade this year, you're still getting somewhere in the neighborhood of about 20% CPU performance and significantly better graphics performance.

**Camera Upgrade**

The main thing here, really, is the camera upgrade. The iPhone XR had only one rear-facing camera, but now we have two improved sensors on the standard shooter, which was nice. However, the main thing here is the new wide-angle camera with a 13 millimeter focal length. Essentially, you're getting double the amount of stuff in frame.

**Wide-Angle Camera**

For a more visual representation, let me zoom all the way in on the camera. This is what the standard angle looks like, and then if you zoom out, this is what the wide-angle will look like. Real talk, though - I'm a huge fan of having a wide-angle camera on a phone.

**Seamless Switching**

One of my favorite things they showed at the keynote was how you can seamlessly move between the standard camera and the wide-angle camera while taking a photo in standard mode. You can see on the sides of the camera app what will be in the wide, making it very easy to switch back and forth.

**Improved Portrait Mode**

They've also improved the portrait mode, especially considering that you can now use it on the ultra-wide camera. But the thing I'm really excited to see is night mode.

**Night Mode**

The iPhone, for a while, was really good on the camera front, but in the last couple of years, feels like it has been passed by devices such as the Pixel. However, that is now a feature in the iPhone 11, Pro, and Max, all that kind of stuff. And essentially, it works in a very similar way.

**Low-Light Performance**

The idea here is that you should see significantly better low-light performance on the iPhone 11. I mean, great 'cause it needed it. The video also looks really impressive.

**Video Improvements**

So, the iPhone already has the best video on any smartphone out right now, and now you'll see better dynamic range, better stabilization, and you can seamlessly move between your wide and standard cameras. All really good stuff, especially considering it will go all the way up to 4K60.

**Front-Facing Camera Improvements**

Side note: The front-facing camera also now gets these same improvements. You can shoot in 4K, and you can also shoot slow-motion, known as a " \*.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey guys, this is Austin.You should not buy the iPhone 11 Pro.Let me explain.So some of you might know I've spentthe last year using the iPhone XRand there are a bunch of reasons for thatbut the main one hasabsolutely been battery life.However, this year things have changedin a pretty major way.So, gone is the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max,and now we have three new models.The iPhone 11, the iPhone 11Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max,because I guess they took some notesout of Samsung's naming scheme (laughs).At their core, these new iPhonesare very similar to last generation.So you can think of the 11very much as the follow up to the XR.I definitely appreciate the new colorsbut beyond the new dual camera setup,which I will talk a littlebit more about later,the rest of the design is very similar.So, you still get basicallythe same displays.So no OLED.It's not high resolution.That's fine for me,but there's some otherthings that actuallymake the iPhone 11 apretty compelling upgrade.Of course, this does have thenew Apple A13 bionic chip.Now, it doesn't seem like it'sa major upgrade this year.In fact, the A12 isalready incredibly fast.But you are getting somewherein the neighborhood ofabout 20% CPU performanceand significantly bettergraphics performance.As always, they show somereally high-end games on stage,which are great, but themain thing here really isthe camera upgrade.Something else that hasn'tchanged is the notch.So all the iPhone 11models had, pretty much,the exact same massive notchas the last generation.Now, I mean yeah, I'mnot really a big fan.Especially given that you canget some very cheap phonesfor some very small notches.However, at least they've seena couple of upgrades this year.Including, better faceID, as well as, supposedlya much better forward facingcamera with a wider angle lens.But the real star of theshow here are the camerason the back of the device.The iPhone XR, alongsideI guess, the Pixel 3was one the very last phones that only hada single rear-facing camera.However, the iPhone 11bumps that up to two.So you have a improved sensoron the standard shooter, which was nice.But the main thing here, really isthe new wide angle camera.Now, with a 13 millimeterwide angle focal length,essentially, you're gettingdouble the amount of stuff in frame.Footage in frame.Things in frame (laughs)- There areway better ways to say that.- I ran out of words.For a more visual representation,Ken, can you please zoom allthe way in on the camera?This is what the standardangle looks like.And then if you zoom out,this is what the wide anglewill look like.See, visual representation.Gotta teach the kids.Real talk, though.I'm a huge fan of having awide angle camera on a phone.I think it makes so much sense.In fact, one of the maindownsides with the XRcompared to the XS, was it didn't havethat telephoto camera.But as far as I'm concerned,it's not all that useful,at least in the past.I'll talk a little bitabout some of the upgradeson that in a second.But, the main thing here isthat you're going to be gettinga lot of major improvementson the camera side.Because, not only do you havethe improved standard cameraand the wide angle, but you can seamlesslymove between them.And one of my favorite thingsthey showed at the keynote,was you actually can, while you'retaking a photo in standard,you actually can seeon the sides of the cameraapp what will be in the wide.So it's very easy toswitch back and forth.They've also improved the portrait mode,especially considering that you can nowuse it on the ultra-wide camera.But the thing I'm reallyexcited to see is night mode.Now, the iPhone, for awhile, was really goodon the camera front.But in the last coupleof years, feels likeit has been passed by a lotof devices such as the Pixel.Especially, the Pixel reallypioneered the idea of doinga dedicated night mode.However, that is now afeature in the iPhone 11,the Pro, the Max, all that kind of stuff.And essentially, it worksin a very similar way.So of course, Apple's usingall their wonderful buzz wordsand why it's so powerful,and magical, and everything.But, the idea here is thatyou should see significantlybetter low-light performanceon the iPhone 11.And I mean, great, 'cause it needed it.The video also looks really impressive.So the iPhone, as far as I'm concerned,already has the best video onany smart phone out right now.And now you'll see better dynamic range.You'll also see better stabilization,and you can seamlesslymove between your wide,as well as, your standard cameras.All really good stuff,especially consideringit will go all the way up to 4K60.Side note: The frontfacing camera also now getsthese same improvements.So you can shoot in 4K.You can also shoot slowmotion, known as a "slofie".Aw, I said it.Oh, I said (stammers) oh.Wait, I mean...So yeah, slofie.There are some other nice benefits,including, you do now have WIFI 6 onboard.As well as, one of the nicethings is the water resistanceis a little bit better.So I believe it is nowtwo meters for 30 minutes.But, I mean, shouldn'tmake a huge difference.Essentially, my favoritepart of the iPhone 11,sorry gather around here.Get a little closer.Is it is now cheaper.Yes, my friends.The new iPhone is cheaper than last year.So whereas the iPhone XR started at $749,the new iPhone 11 is $699.And honestly, that's a really good deal.Especially when you compareit to the iPhone 11 Pro.The iPhone 11 Pro and ProMax are very much followupsto the iPhone XS, as well as, the XS Max.They're basically the samesize, and from the front,they're nearly identical.And when you flip them around to the back,there are some slight changes.Including, the triple camera.Now, yes, it is wonderfulto have triple cameras.But man, I can't help but think it's ugly.Like especially when they showedthat shot of the iPhone 11 in the case.Like, the 11 by itself withtwo cameras looks fine.But the weird, triple camera thing,like, Jony Ive, man.He's gone for five minutesand they've already done this.To be fair, I'm sureeveryone will get used to itin, like, three months,but I just can't unsee it.Just looks like the Mickey Mouse ears.I think the iPhone 11, straight up,is a better looking phone.Now, there are some newadvantages, as far as,the colors, to the Pro.So there's this cool,like, what do they call it?Midnight green?- Midnight green.- There's midnight green,space gray, silver, and gold.The midnight green doeslook cool, I will say.But, the camera's notparticularly impressive looking.Now, there are some other advantages here.So, the display is better.You've got up to 1200 nits of brightness.They've now named it the XDR displayto sell more Mac Pros, or something.- No, retina...- Retina, wait no sorry,it's the Super Retina XDR.Because, of course, it is.But importantly, it is alsonow more energy efficient.According to Apple, it is 15% better.And that, actually, shouldmake a big differencefor battery life.Because with the previousgeneration of iPhones,those OLED displays used alot of power, even at idle.So thankfully, it looks like they done,at least, something to kind of fix that.Fix that, fix that.Battery life, actually, is one of thebigger advantages goingup to these new models.So while the XR vs. 11 isn'thuge, it's only an extrahour of battery life on the 11.However, the XR already hadphenomenal battery life,so I'm certainly not complaining there.However, the Pro modelsare leagues better.So when you look at the XS vs. the Pro,you're getting fourhours more battery life.Now, that sounds super impressive,however, the battery lifewas terrible on the XS,so that's probably getting it,probably, closer to ,like, the XR/11 range.And when you go from the iPhone XS Maxto the iPhone 11 Pro Max,you're getting fivehours more battery life.It's gonna take me so longto get that name right.iPhone 11 Pro Max.Real talk though.Batter life is great,huge fan of battery life.And honestly, the iPhone XR, I continuedto use it for a year.Purely because, it is, by far,the best battery on any iPhone.So the fact that the 11is getting an upgrade,as well as, the Pro seem to beat least on that same plane,is a huge, huge win.But really, what isseparating the iPhone 11 Profrom the standard 11 is that third camera.So in addition to the ultra-wide cameraand the standard wide angle,you do have the telephoto.Now, it is only a 2Xtelephoto, as opposed to a 3Xor more on a lot ofother devices right now.But it's a nice spread.Essentially, it gives you a13 millimeter equivalent, 26 and 52.And all of the stuff was being able to usetwo cameras and videoand photos on the 11,comes across with allthree cameras on the Pro.I've actually not beena huge fan of telephotoon previous iPhones, mostly becauseit just really wasn't very good.It had a fairly low F2.8 aperture.And, generally speaking,especially in lower lightit looks trash comparedto the main camera.However, this here is amuch wider F2 aperture,which should get it much, much closerto that wide angle camera.And on top of that, there'salso a new deep fusion feature,which essentially, will take four stillsbefore you hit the shutter button.One long exposure when youhit it, and then four after.And merge them all in less than a second,to what should be avery high quality image.However, this is somethingwe'll have to test later,because it is coming in asoftware update this fall.So it won't be ready for launch.But, generally speaking, the camera doeslook to be a major upgrade this year.But that's pretty muchit as far as upgrades.Which brings me to themain point of this video.The iPhone 11 is simply a betterchoice this year, I think.So let's go over whatyou don't get this year.So there's no USB-C.All the phones use lightning.There's no higher refresh rate display,which would be really nice.Especially compared to things likethe OnePlus or the ROG phone.There's no Apple Pencil support.And surprisingly there's alsono bilateral wireless charging.Very similar to what youcan get on Samsung deviceswhere you can charge somethinglike an Air Pod or evenlike another phone using the rear charger.That is not here on the iPhone 11,even though it was very much rumoredto be coming to thisgeneration of iPhones.There's also no 5G, whichreally isn't a huge surprise.However, a lot of otherflagships are integrating 5G,so you'll have to waitanother year for that.And on top of all of this,they've actually removed3D touch from all ofthe iPhones this year.Now, the XR did lose it last year,so it's been replaced with haptic touch.Which just means youtap and hold to pull up,like, your cursor or whatever.It's fine, it works just fine.But it's not really a huge upgrade.In fact, I would say it's a downgrade,compared to last year.But that's the thing.This year's upgrades aren'treally all that exciting.Considering that the iPhone11 is a full $300 cheaperthan the Pro, what you're losingreally isn't all that significant.Yes, you get the two camerasinstead of three cameras.Which, I don't even considerto be a huge downgrade,considering it looks so much less ugly.You get a worse display,which is totally fair.And that's about it.Like, literally, that's about it.So with the iPhone 11, you'regetting the extra colors,but most importantly,you're getting a phonewhich is actually reasonably priced.Sure, $700 is certainly not cheap,but that is very much whatwe used to pay the old schoolflagships two, three years agobefore everything hit $1000.And the fact that you'regetting such a solid phone,with some real improvementsover that XR at the $700price tag, that is so impressive.I can't believe I'm saying this,but Apple lowered the price of an iPhone.And I'm really happy about that.The new iPhone 11 models will be shippingon September 20th, a littleover a week from today.As well as some of the other devices,including that brand new Apple Watch,will also be hitting on the 20th.I'm very curious to knowwhat do you guys thinkabout the iPhone 11 vs.the iPhone Pro and the Max?I'm super curious, 'causeas far as I'm concerned,that iPhone 11 is where it's at.
