In September 2019, Apple released its latest and greatest iPhone model – the iPhone 11. But how does it compare to past models? Here’s a breakdown of what’s changed from previous iPhone models.
Design:
The iPhone 11 has a similar design to the iPhone XR, with its 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display and aluminum and glass body. However, it has a dual-camera system on the back that is aligned in a square shape, compared to the single camera on previous models.
Display:
While the size of the iPhone 11’s display is the same as the XR, it has better color accuracy and brightness than previous models. It also has true black levels and better viewing angles.
Camera:
The biggest change on the iPhone 11 is its camera system. It features a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, with a 120-degree field of view, next to the standard 12-megapixel wide-angle camera. This allows for more flexibility in capturing wide-angle shots. The iPhone 11 also has improved Night mode, which brightens up low-light photos. The front-facing camera is also upgraded to 12 megapixels and includes a feature called “slofies” which is slow-motion video selfies.
Battery Life:
The iPhone 11 boasts improved battery life compared to past models. It can last up to an hour longer than the iPhone XR, which already had impressive battery life.
Performance:
The iPhone 11 is powered by the A13 Bionic chip, which is faster and more efficient than the A12 chip used in previous models. This allows for faster app launches and smoother performance overall.
Price:
The iPhone 11 is priced similarly to past models, starting at $699 for the base model. However, it’s worth noting that the cost of previous models has dropped since their initial release, so buying an older model could still be a more cost-effective option.
In conclusion, the iPhone 11 features several notable improvements over previous models, particularly in its camera system and battery life. However, for those who are satisfied with their current phone and don’t need the latest and greatest technology, previous models can still offer solid performance at a lower cost. Ultimately, the decision to upgrade to the iPhone 11 depends on individual needs and preferences.
