The iPhone 11 series has finally arrived, and with it comes a host of new features and improvements that are sure to excite fans of the Apple brand. According to Hey Lads Blog post, one of the standout features of the wide-angle camera is its telephoto zoom at 52 millimeters at F2, which suggests that the camera is more sensitive to light than last year's model with a higher maximum ISO. This would definitely help with the new night mode that merges many shots together to get a cleaner brighter photo.
The night mode on the iPhone 11 series has been put through its paces by testing, and while we don't actually know if we as users can access the faster minimum exposure time of 1,125 thousand of a second, it's clear that this feature is going to make a big difference. The camera has already shown significant improvements over last year's phones in terms of low-light photography, but with this new feature, we can expect even better results.
But the iPhone 11 series isn't just about cameras - it's also about hardware and design. Apple claims that its glass is the toughest ever in a smartphone, both on the front and back, and a promo video for the iPhone 11 Pro shows off getting pummeled by various tough objects like breadsticks, broccoli, and even a wedding cake. While this may be more of a publicity stunt than an actual test of the phone's durability, it's clear that Apple is serious about creating a device that can withstand the rigors of daily life.
In reality, the glass used on the iPhone 11 series is custom-made in Kentucky by Corning, the company behind Gorilla Glass. This isn't a huge surprise, given that Corning has supplied the glass for every iPhone since 2007, but this deal gets even more serious business as Apple has invested $250 million in the glass maker for development of future iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad glass.
Corning's Gorilla Glass six is the latest version of their tough glass technology, designed to survive 15 drops from a height of 1 meter (around 3.2 feet). While Corning declined to give specifics about the exact toughness of the glass used on the new iPhone, they did say that it was specific to Apple and that they are working on bendable glass for rumored foldable phones.
Speaking of rumors, we're always hearing whispers about upcoming Apple products, and this week was no exception. MacRumors' Clean has managed to get their hands on a final design mock-up of the new iPad Pro, which seems to feature a three-camera array similar to that found in the iPhone 11. While it's hard to say for sure how good these cameras will be, it's clear that Apple is committed to creating devices with high-quality imaging capabilities.
The Pixel production was asked if they were upgrading to an iPhone 11 or 11 Pro this week, and while they're a huge Apple fanboy, they decided to keep their trusty old iPhone 7 Plus for the time being. They cited the price as a major factor in their decision, saying it's just not worth spending that extra $600 to $1,000 for an upgrade.
Other viewers were more enthusiastic about upgrading, with Danny saying he's been stuck with his iPhone 6s Plus for years and is ready for something new. Antonia said she's had good experiences with iPhones in the past but is waiting for next year's 5G and something fun from Apple, while Minimum was skeptical of any rumor that says it will come with 16 cameras at the back - that sounds like a recipe for disaster!
In any case, we'd love to hear from you - have any thoughts on the features inside the iPhone 11 series? Do you think some of these new features are game-changers or are they just incremental improvements? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet us at Lexie. Thanks for watching, and be sure to come back next week for more news and rumors from the Apple Core!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe reviews are in for the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro so let's take a closer look at some of the less well-known features inside the new iPhones I'm filling in for Vanessa over the next couple of months bringing you news rumors and deep dives into everything Apple so the new iPhones are getting top marks thanks to their cameras and improvements in battery life you know where to find the full review in the description below if you haven't checked it out already time to dive into some of the internals that didn't get as much air time this week let's start with one of the most significant internal additions to the new iPhone so I'm not talking about the a13 Bionic or the battery but something Apple didn't cover at all during the keynote it's called the u1 chip all of the new iPhones have it inside this chip powers ultra wideband or UWB it's a technology to pinpoint the location of items say like another phone a tracking tag or potentially even unlock your car UWB measures how long it takes for short radio pulses to travel between devices and then works out a precise location for the item remember those rumored Apple tracking tags the tile competitor well we didn't get those at the September iPhone event but the u1 chip means that those tags could still be on the horizon for now we only know of one official use case for the u1 ship in the new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro that's improved airdrop accuracy in iOS 13 if you use airdrop a lot you'll know that sometimes it takes a while to find the right person you're trying to transfer to especially if there are a lot of competing signals with the u1 ship you'll be able to point the iPhone towards another iPhone and your transfer will be prioritized okay so maybe this doesn't sound very interesting to you right now but there is way more to UWB than what Apple says it can do at the moment this technology has a lot of potential diagrams that Apple's filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office give us some hints say if you were walking up to your car it recognizes your phone and then it automatically unlocks maybe you walk into the room and your laptop recognizes it's you your phone and then starts up or the music could follow you from room to room on smart speakers it could even help find your dog yeah I'm not quite sure about that one but anyway Apple is not the only company working on UWB either so as this technology gets standardized across the board keep an eye on this acronym just because we got a new iPhone doesn't mean the rumor mill has suddenly come to a halt about the phone that we just got so a lot of people myself included were disappointed when we didn't see the addition of reversed wireless charging on the new iPhone but a tweet from Lika and blogger sunny Dixon as reported by Mac rumors indicates that maybe not all hope is lost the tweet says reliable sources say the new iPhones do have the hardware for bilateral or reverse wireless charging but it's disabled in software so here's the thing Apple didn't talk about hardware like the u1 ship in the keynote but it was there on the website and in the press release such a big upcoming feature like reverse wireless charging would make sense to use as a coming soon somewhere and a day before the iPhone was announced we saw renowned Apple analyst Ming Shi quo saying the feature had been scrapped so I guess we're just gonna have to wait for the tear downs on this one when the phone launches this Friday but something we do have a better idea on is the iPhone batteries according to nine-to-five Mac who saw documents from a Chinese regulatory agency the iPhone 11 has a 30 110 milliamp hour battery or 3110 the pro is 3046 milliamp hour and the 11pro max is almost 4000 which is actually 20% more capacity than last year's tennis max according to the site no wonder it's doing so well on those battery tests for me the most exciting part of any new phone is the cameras and the iPhone 11 does not disappoint on that front but Apple only tells you so much about what that hardware can do fortunately this week we've got a deep dive from the developer of halide a popular third-party app so we know the basics all our 12 megapixel cameras with an ultra wide 13 mm f 2.4 and regular wide-angle 26 millimeter F 1 point 8 while the 11pro and Max have an extra 2x telephoto zoom at 52 millimeters at F 2 according to hey lads blog post the wide and telephoto cameras are more sensitive to light than last year's 10s with a higher maximum ISO now that would definitely help with the new night mode that merges many shots together to get a cleaner brighter photo and the camera has a much faster minimum exposure time of 1 125 thousand of a second like that's insane and while we don't actually know if we as users can access that maybe there's some super fast shutter speed setting to uncover of course this is just the hardware side of things and our testing we've shown that the night mode does provide some significant improvements over last year's phones but we'll do some closer testing against some other night mode beasts like the p30 Pro Galaxy Note Templar and the upcoming pixel for soon and of course that deep fusion feature is also coming soon to be 11 which is probably where we'll see a lot of that hardware really start to shine we've talked a lot about the inside of the new iPhone so it's only fair to take a look at what's on the outside every year Apple makes bold claims that its glass is the toughest ever in a smartphone this year is of course no different and that glass it's the toughest ever in a smartphone on the front and back and a promo video for the iPhone 11 pro shows up getting pummeled by all sorts of notoriously tough objects like breadsticks broccoli and a wedding cake like okay Apple challenge accepted except I will skip the veggies and go straight for hard concrete stay tuned for the drop test this week though we got some more detail on the glass used on the 11 and 11 pro models it's custom made in Kentucky by Corning the company behind gorilla glass now this isn't a huge surprise given that Corning has supplied the glass for every eye since 2007 but this deal got even more serious business this week as Apple's got an invested 250 million dollars in the glass maker for development of future iPhone Apple watch and iPad glass now this makes it the second major investment from Apple in the glass maker Gorilla Glass six is the latest version of Corning's tough glass also used on other flagship phones out there right now like the galaxy note 10.1 is last six is designed to survive 15 drops from a height of 1 meter that's around 3.2 feet but the head of Corning's Gorilla Glass business declined to give CNET specifics about the toughness of the glass used on the new iPhone but did say it was specific to Apple and we also know that Corning is working on bendable glass maybe for Apple's rumored foldable phones and where would we be on the apple core without more rumors to propel us towards the next potential Apple event in October this week we saw a leak from Mac rumors cleaning to show the new iPad pro completes with that three camera array this one also comes from sunny Dickinson who received a final design mock-up of the tablet claiming the camera hardware is similar to the iPhone 11 trust me this is going to do nothing to change the stigma of taking photos with a tablet if I see you doing this I will judge you on last week's show I asked you if you were going to upgrade to the 11 or 11 Pro and it was a mixed bag for some of you it was a slam dunk and others were more reserved the pixel production said I'm a huge Apple fanboy but with this release in price I'm going to be keeping my iPhone 7 plus it's quick and the battery health is at 85% so I'll be keeping my phone for another year use the extra 600 to $1,000 for a down payment on my first house that's incredible well done and best of luck with the house Danny says well I'm upgrading from the 6s Plus while it's been a workhorse for all these years it's starting to show its age lately and that's the thing this definitely seems like the phone for people upgrading from something like maybe a 5s maybe is maybe even a seven Antonia says good phones but gotta wait for next year's 5g and something fun from minimum who said wait for iPhone 24 rumor has it it will come with 16 cameras at the back four in each corner you can shoot anything from microscopic pictures of germs to space photos rivaling the Hubble telescope you heard it here first a big
