This year's iPhone strategy is similar to last year's, both two flagship and one quasi flagship. This time, the difference lies in the naming. Apple named this generation of quasi flagship as the orthodox digital series "iPhone 11", and the two more high-end flagship as "Pro". Apple has also begun to attach importance to marketing. After all, the "R" in last year's iPhone XR gives people a feeling of youth or low configuration. The author also went to the Apple store to buy one at the first time on the day of its launch on the 20th. Here is an overview of iPhone 11.
appearance
The iPhone 11 can be seen as an upgrade to the iPhone XR. First of all, the iPhone 11 continues the colorful color matching of the iPhone XR in appearance. Black, white, red and yellow are added, and green and purple are added. There are six colors in total, of which green and purple are more popular. Now the pre order is basically not available until after the National Day. After all, the new colors of the iPhone will sell more popular every year. I think the best color for iPhone 11 this time is green, and purple is also good. Other colors don't feel like iPhone 11.
The most prominent change in the appearance of the iPhone 11 is the camera module. The camera module is still positioned at the top left, with a circle of bulges of about 1mm. The camera has also been upgraded from single camera to dual camera, with an ultra wide angle focal section added, and the two cameras are also slightly bulged.
The Apple logo is also moved to the middle because it needs to take care of the appearance on the back. The logo of iPhone is also removed below, which is very concise.
Interestingly, the camera module at the upper left corner of the iPhone 11 uses frosted glass, while mirror glass is used in other parts of the body. The openings of the camera, flash, and microphone are slightly larger than those of the iPhone XR. The waterproof level of the fuselage is upgraded from IP67 to IP68.
In addition, there is no change in other places. The design of glass and aluminum is still the same. The frame of the racehorse is still the same. Even the three dimensions and weight of the body are the same as last year's XR. There is no difference in feel and aspect between the two, but the iPhone 11 is slightly more exquisite than the XR because of the addition of a layer of frosted glass cover to the camera.

screen
6.1 inch LCD screen, resolution 1792 x 828, ppi 326, supporting P3 color gamut.
However, since this is the version of the Bank of China, Calman cannot connect, so there is no way to test the professional data of the screen.
Apple called it Liquid retinal HD display last year, and still called it Liquid retinal HD display this year, which shows that the screen of the previous generation of mobile phones has survived. The actual look and feel of this screen is quite good. The color transition is natural. It is really comfortable to use with True Tone. However, this screen also has two disadvantages. One is that the resolution is relatively low, and the fineness is not as good as that of the Pro version iPhone and the 2K screen Android phone. It is OK to use it from a normal distance, but it will be blurred when viewed closely, but it is still higher than the 1080P A screen of a ticket. The other is brightness. The manual peak brightness can reach 650nit, but the brightness is not activated. It is difficult to see the screen clearly in the sun.
performance
This generation of new iPhones is equipped with Apple's latest A13 bionic chip. The word "bionic" chip has been passed down from A11 to A13. The size of the core has not changed significantly. The configuration of four efficiency cores plus two performance cores, a total of six cores, has been maintained. The performance of efficiency cores has been improved by 20% and the power consumption has been reduced by 40%; The performance core performance is improved by 20% and the power consumption is reduced by 30%. Self developed 4-core GPU, with performance improved by 20% and power consumption reduced by 40%. The Neural Engine uses an 8-core architecture, which improves performance by 20% and reduces power consumption by 15%.
The author also ran a series of scores on mobile phones:
CPU
GPU
Because the iPhone 11 failed to connect to the GFXBench server during the test run, the performance of the iPhone 11 can refer to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The performance improvement basically conforms to what Apple said. This time, Apple slowed down the increase of GPU. Compared with GFXBench, it improved significantly in tests with less pressure, but little in tests with high pressure. Due to limited time to start, the detailed performance of the chip A13 bionics will be reserved for detailed evaluation before detailed testing.
In addition, the new iPhone follows the latest 802.11ax standard, namely Wi Fi 6, and Apple claims that the transmission speed of the LAN has increased by 38%. As for the convenience of data network, the iPhone 11 still uses 2x2 MIMO, that is, dual antennas. The specific test of signal is reserved for detailed evaluation.

The biggest highlight of this generation of iPhone is that it has upgraded the camera configuration and added a camera with ultra wide angle focal section.
Main camera: 26mm, f/1.8 aperture, 1200W pixels, supporting optical anti shake, 100% Focus Pixel focusing technology.
Ultra wide angle: 13mm (120 °), f/2.4 aperture, 1200W pixels;
Front camera: f/2.2 aperture, 1200W pixels, support 4K 60FPS video capture and 120FPS slow motion.
It supports the new generation of intelligent HDR photo shooting and six kinds of portrait lighting effects.
We have taken some samples for your reference.
Main camera (daytime)
Nightscape
Night mode
This time, the new iPhone finally added the night mode, but this night mode cannot be turned on at will. Only when the phone judges that the current environment can be turned on, can it see an option of night mode at the top of the interface. At this time, you can choose to turn off or extend the exposure time. Night mode cannot be used for UWA.
Super wide-angle
Apple's optimization strength is very strong. The main picture and the super wide angle picture are basically not incompatible, and the white balance exposure is very close.
charge
This generation of iPhone 11 is still equipped with 5V1A charging head as standard, but after actual measurement, using Apple's original 18W charging head test, the maximum online power is about 17W, while the higher power PD charging head charging power is surprising. Xiaobian also used an ammeter to record the charging process of iPhone 11 from zero to full charge. (30W PD charging head is used for test charging)
Five minute charging 10% , half an hour charging 58% , one hour charging 86% It takes one hour and forty-four minutes to fill.
Interestingly, the author found that the maximum charging power of this generation of iPhone can reach 23W 17 minutes before charging, the online power can basically be maintained at 20W More than 86% of the batteries have been charged in one hour, but the next 14 percentage points took more than 40 minutes.
summary
In my one day of simple use, there is no difference between the iPhone XR and the iPhone XR in 90% of the use scenarios. After all, the weight of the body and the three dimensions are the same, but the author has no time to do more testing and in-depth use of this phone. For more detailed evaluation of this phone, please look forward to my detailed evaluation after in-depth use.
