This year's iPhone finally returned to the normal naming. Apple has always read "X" as "ten" instead of "X" in the previous two years, so the previous two generations of iPhones can also be said to be iPhone 10 and iPhone 10S series. So this year is the first time Apple has used "Pro" to name the iPhone. The iPhone 11 is a normal iterative model, while the iPhone 11 Pro and Max are more high-end models suitable for professional users. So what is the specialty of the iPhone 11 Pro Max over the iPhone 11? The author will take you from the outside to the inside to understand all aspects of the iPhone 11 series.
Appearance - three shots of equilateral triangle
The most distinctive feature of the iPhone this time is not the "equilateral triangle" three shots at the back, but the front bangs. In 2019, both domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers will no longer use Liu Haiping as the first choice for flagship phones, Regardless of the above technologies, the actual percentage of screens is higher than that of Liu Haiping, so when I got this year's iPhone 11 series, I still had a bit of retro meaning. It seems that everyone has been accustomed to Apple's 4-year routine of using one ID design, and there is not much response to the fact that the front panel has not changed.
So there is no difference between this year's iPhone and last year's iPhone except that the earpiece is a little short. The same 3D structured light, the same screen scale, and the resolution have not changed at all.
As for the screen display effect, there is no difference between iPhone 11 and iPhone XR. Manual maximum brightness 651nit , measured coverage 96% SRGB color gamut, 67% The left and right P3 color gamut and color temperature also basically fluctuate at 6500K. In addition to the resolution and no excitation brightness, the 11 screen has nothing to be picky about. It is the top screen in the LCD camp.
This screen on iPhone 11 Pro Max is worth mentioning. Apple calls this screen "super retinal XDR display", and officially claims that it can reach 800nit peak brightness. When viewing HDR pictures and 4K HDR film sources, it can reach 1200nit peak brightness. According to the author's test, the manual maximum brightness can reach 801nit It is higher than the excitation brightness of many AMOLED screens on the market. The excitation brightness can reach more than 900nit, the contrast is 2000000:1, and the measured coverage 100% SRGB color gamut, 97% The left and right P3 color gamut and color temperature of 6500K are both top screens in terms of test data and actual display effect, which also maintain Apple's temperament for many years. Apple's screens are basically free from worry and can be used with confidence.
There is no doubt that the display quality of the iPhone 11 Pro Max screen is better than that of the iPhone 11. It is better in brightness, color gamut coverage, and resolution. The iPhone 11 Pro Max screen can also play HDR video, but it is not very useful in China. After all, there is no HDR resource of that platform in China. In addition, the previous generation of XS series has not improved except for the obvious perception of brightness. As for the iPhone 11, it is completely consistent with last year's XR performance, and it should use the same screen. So the screen won't give you any fresh feeling.
The bangs on the top are still Face ID and front camera. The face ID component has not changed since the iPhone X, and the improvement of unlocking speed is entirely due to the improvement of system optimization and A-series chip computing power.
Look carefully, the length of the earpiece has slightly reduced. After the media disassembly, the size of the earpiece has not changed significantly compared with the previous generation, and the actual effect is not significantly different from that of the stereo speaker composed of the speaker at the bottom. This generation of external playback supports Dolby Panorama Sound playback, which can play soundtracks from Dolby Panorama Sound, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus. However, this is a new feature brought by iOS 13. The XR and XS of the previous generation can be played after they are updated to iOS 13, and they need specific audio sources, which does not improve the daily use of external playback.
The pixel of the front camera has been increased from 800W to 1200W. It can also record high specification videos such as 4K 60FPS and 1080P 120FPS, which is the highest specification in the front camera of mobile phones. With excellent screen display and radio effect, plus a stabilizer, it can become a good Vlog device.
When I look at the back of the iPhone 11 series, the biggest highlight should be the camera module at the upper left corner. I think we have seen this model for many times. I would like to express my feelings at this moment, just to complain that this convex module scratched another iPhone XR in the pen holder's pocket, It is strongly recommended not to put iPhone 11 series phones and other phones in the same pocket.
▲ Back photo of iPhone 11 Pro Max
The back cover of the iPhone 11 Pro Max uses frosted glass, and the camera module uses mirror glass. When two kinds of glass with different textures are superimposed, the texture of the high-end mobile phone will come, and it is not stained with fingerprints. It is worthy of being a 10000 phone. Although it looks a little ugly, the texture is still strong. The three-dimensional size and weight have increased to varying degrees, and the weight has reached an astonishing 226g, which is a dumbbell with an Apple logo.
▲ Back photo of iPhone 11
The back cover of iPhone 11 uses mirror glass, while the lens module uses frosted glass. The overall texture is slightly improved compared with XR. The size and weight of the three sides of the body have not changed at all. It is still a suffocating frame. If you change from XR, this phone will have very little novelty for you.
In addition, the iPhone 11 series has been certified as IP68 dustproof and waterproof, but the waterproof certification of the iPhone 11 Pro series is to stay still for 30 minutes under the water depth of 4 meters, while the iPhone 11 is to stay still for 30 minutes under the water depth of 2 meters, so theoretically, the iPhone 11 Pro is more waterproof, but the writer suggests that you should not die, The reality is different from the ideal environment in the test, and there is no warranty for water ingress.
Image system - super wide angle blessing
Ultra wide angle is 13mm Focus section, the main camera is 26mm Focal section, long focal length is 52mm The focal section of the latter is just twice that of the former, and all three cameras are 1200W Pixel.
Daytime
▲ Main camera
There is no obvious difference between the four mobile phones in sufficient light during the day, but the Huawei P30 Pro screen is slightly red. After all, the flagship mobile phones can't open the gap with sufficient light.
▲ Backlight imaging ▲ Local amplification of backlight imaging
Focus on backlight imaging. In general backlight scenes, the two generations of iPhones are not very different in terms of dark exposure and HDR imaging. Huawei's HDR is not very stable. When you zoom in to see the details, the analytical power of the new iPhone is significantly improved, and the texture on the stone is clearly visible.
▲ Backlight imaging ▲ Local amplification of backlight imaging
Then look at the backlit scene with a larger light ratio. On the whole, Huawei's dark exposure is the highest, but the picture is obviously red, and the magnification and resolution are also relatively vague. The new iPhone series has slightly improved the dark exposure, and the overall appearance is the best.
▲ Ultra wide angle
Then look at the performance of ultra wide angle. The equivalent focal length of the iPhone 11 series ultra wide angle is 13mm, which is wider than the 16mm of the Huawei P30 Pro. The ultra wide angle appearance is good, and the white balance is relatively normal.
▲ Ultra wide angle
Let's look at a group of ultra wide angle proofs. The iPhone's play is relatively stable and can accurately restore the scene, while Huawei's play is a bit unstable, with the highest exposure of dark parts, but the picture has obvious color deviation. The glare of iPhone 11 is more obvious than that of iPhone 11 Pro Max, and there is no difference between the two phones.
▲ 2x zoom
The telephoto lens has also been improved, with more details than the previous generation. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is also significantly clearer than the iPhone 11 when it is cut twice by the main camera.
In terms of daytime performance, the iPhone 11 series has improved the resolution of the image, and has slightly improved the HDR effect. The performance is still stable and there is nothing wrong with it. There is basically no difference between the two new iPhones under the same focal section, but the glare of iPhone 11 is more obvious than that of Pro.
Nightscape
The biggest improvement of the iPhone 11 series in night photography is the addition of a "night mode" similar to that commonly used by Android manufacturers. When the phone detects weak light, it will prompt to turn on the "night mode". When the light is particularly weak, it will automatically turn on the "night mode". The system will automatically adjust the shutter time of the "night mode" according to the current light intensity, You can click the "Night Mode" to adjust the exposure. The more stable your hand is, the longer the optional exposure time will be. The official announced that the tripod mode can achieve 30S long exposure.
First, let's see what the "Night Mode" has improved.
▲ Main camera
First of all, the incoming light is slightly better. If you manually turn on the "Night Mode", you can see that there is no obvious difference between the two photos. It is just that the "Night Mode" highlight processing is better. There is no big difference between the two, which can be regarded as a level.
When the light is slightly weak, the mobile phone automatically turns on the "Night Mode", and the dark exposure of the picture has been significantly improved, as well as the purity of the picture.
▲ Main camera ▲ Dominant amplification
Let's take a look at the weak light. At this time, the phone will automatically turn on the "Night Mode". It can be seen that there are obvious differences before and after use, mainly in two aspects: the exposure of the image has improved, and the resolution has improved significantly. You can really feel the improvement of analytical power when you zoom in to see the font.
The "night mode" algorithm has brought significant improvements. The weaker the light, the more prominent the advantages of "night mode" will be. Unfortunately, the remaining two sub cameras do not support this algorithm, and Apple will not be transferred to the old model. After all, it is Apple, and everyone is used to it.
After the "night mode", let's compare the previous generation XS Max with the competing Huawei P30 Pro to see how competitive the iPhone 11 series is.
▲ Main camera ▲ Dominant amplification
After the night mode is turned on, the iPhone 11 series is fully capable of competing with Huawei P30 Pro. The brightness is not lost, and the color is not as strange as Huawei P30 Pro. Zoom in to see the details is also true of P30 Pro. Apple is really a bit powerful this time.
The shooting ability of the telephoto under weak light has also been improved to a certain extent, and the aperture is also the same as that of the previous generation f/2.4 Promote to f/2.0 Apple officially announced that the new telephoto lens can increase the light input by 40%, which means that the same scene can be shot with lower ISO, and the purity of the picture will be improved.
▲ 2x zoom ▲ 2x zoom amplification
Compared with the telephoto lens of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, it has really improved. The image noise is less, the purity is improved, and the image details are more abundant. It seems that what Apple said is true.
▲ 2x zoom amplification
We know that the iPhone 11 does not have a telephoto lens, and the double zoom is actually a cropped picture of wide-angle main photography, while the main photography of the iPhone 11 can use this generation's exclusive "night mode" algorithm.
After using the "Night Mode" algorithm, the image of iPhone 11 main camera after twice cutting is clearer than that of iPhone 11 Pro Max, Interesting! It can be seen that the "night mode" is improved. If the sub camera also has the "night mode" algorithm, it is estimated that the night shot can be improved by one level. The author estimates that it will only be available on the next generation iPhone, and the copy is: "Based on the powerful performance of A14, we have realized the" night mode "on the sub camera. Now you can enjoy the" night mode "on the sub camera. The performance of the old iPhone is too weak to be realized. Go and buy a new one." You see, there will be selling points and sales volume?
▲ Ultra wide angle
After iteration of several versions, a barely usable picture was also obtained in ultra wide angle under dark light, but the picture still had very obvious smear marks, which felt a bit like oil painting.
▲ Ultra wide angle night view mode
In addition, the ultra wide angle does not support the night mode, which has no advantage over the Huawei P30 Pro with the night mode enabled.
▲ iPhone 11 Pro Max three camera
▲ Huawei P30 Pro three camera
Finally, let's talk about the consistency of the three shots of the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Compared with the Huawei P30 Pro, the three shots of the iPhone 11 Pro Max show amazing similarity. The exposure, white balance, and color of the picture are all taken by the same camera. At present, Android cannot do this. This is the strength of Apple.
The front camera has also been improved. The pixel has been upgraded to the mainstream 1200W. More importantly, it supports 4K 60FPS and 1080P 240FPS upgraded videos. This is the first time that the author has seen a manufacturer apply this high standard video to the front camera, providing a very good shooting equipment for which Vlog UP owners.
In conclusion, the iPhone 11 series shooting has made a big improvement, not only adding a super wide-angle lens, but also adding a "night mode" to the algorithm for weak light environment. The imaging mainly taken in weak light environment has improved, but unfortunately, the remaining two sub cameras do not support this algorithm, and expect Apple to update the technology. It is a pity that the old iPhone also does not support this algorithm.

Wireless Signal&WiFi
Now let's talk about the signal problem. From the perspective of the disassembly of foreign media, this generation of iPhone 11 series still uses Intel baseband. The model is XMM 7660. The downlink supports the maximum Cat.19, the maximum speed can reach 1.6Gbps, and the maximum uplink speed can reach 225Mbps, which is higher than that of the previous generation. However, this is not important, because most of the time the LET cannot reach 1.6Gbps.
The iPhone 11 LTE uses 2x2 MIMO, while the iPhone 11 Pro LTE uses 4x4 MIMO.
The author tested the signal of this year's iPhone 11 Pro Max. The test content is to test the signal and speed of the test phone in different scenarios.
The following figure shows the test results:
It can be seen that the signal strength of iPhone 11 Pro Max is weaker than that of One Plus 7 Pro and iPhone XR in each test, but the speed is not much behind. On the contrary, it is faster in some cases with better signals. In this way, the iPhone signal is not as bad as everyone said.
When I replaced the mobile card in my mobile phone with the Unicom card, and repeated the test, I shed tears when I found the truth.
In a normal office environment, there is no obvious difference between the three mobile phones. One plus 7 Pro has better signal strength. Once in the underground parking lot, when there are many indoor obstructions, the iPhone signal and network speed will decline significantly, and the speed is only half of the standard Android flagship, which is a real brother's performance.
The signal performance of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is no better than that of the iPhone XR, which is full of rotten fish and shrimp. The author still suggests that iPhone users use mobile as the main card, and put the Unicom card on other Android phones.
WiFi is a big improvement. All iPhone 11 systems support the latest 802.11ax protocol, namely WiFi 6 protocol. Apple claims that the download speed can be increased by 38%. However, since the author does not have a WiFi 6 router, it is impossible to test the performance under WiFi 6. However, the performance of WiFi 5 is not inferior to that of the previous generation. This function will not work until there are more WiFi 6 routers.
A13 - Light of ARM
In the performance part, the iPhone 11 series said: I was bullied in the signal part, but in the performance part, I will heavy Punch out , which makes you look for teeth everywhere.
The whole iPhone 11 series is equipped with Apple A13 chip, and the overall structure has not changed. With 7nm, it is still four energy consumption cores plus two performance cores. Let's directly see the theoretical score.
CPU
GPU
Apple heavy Punch out No matter CPU or GPU, Apple A13 is out of an invincible position. This year, it humiliated Android platform again. The task of refreshing the list will be handed to the next generation A14.
Compared with last year's A12, A13 CPU single thread increased by 14% and multithreading increased by 20%. The iPhone's CPUs of these generations have not been significantly improved. They are all minor modifications based on A11. The core has always been four performance cores plus two performance cores, and the CPU performance has improved slightly.
In terms of GPU, the scenes of Manhattan and Tyrannosaurus Rex with less pressure can be improved by more than 50%. On the contrary, in some high-pressure scenes, the improvement is minimal.
To sum up, this year's A13 is not significantly improved in CPU or even GPU performance, which is a regular upgrade. Finally, this year, Apple also slowed down the increase of GPU. After all, A12's GPU has no rivals in the same level. It also gives everyone a sigh of relief on the Android platform. I hope that next year's Qualcomm can catch up with Apple's pace.
Apple added a chip to the iPhone 11 series this year, U1 ultra wideband chip , so that the iPhone 11 series has the ability to sense space.
Does it sound tall? In practice, AirDrop can share directionally. The targeted mobile phone has a higher transmission priority, but there is no improvement in transmission speed.
U1 ultra wideband chip is currently used less. It will be more practical when Apple develops more functions in the future.
Endurance&Charging
IPhone 11 comes with 3110mAh Battery; IPhone 11 Pro Max comes with 3969mAh With large battery, the battery capacity has improved to varying degrees compared with the previous generation, especially the large iPhone 11 Pro Max, which has a huge increase compared with the previous generation XS MAX's 3174mAh. The large increase in battery capacity is also the main reason for this generation of iPhone 11 Pro Max to become heavier and thicker.
Therefore, the endurance of this generation of iPhone 11 series has made a leap. The endurance of iPhone 11 is 1 hour higher than that of the previous generation of XR, and the endurance of iPhone 11 Pro Max is 5 hours higher than that of the previous generation of XS Max. This is the sense of security brought by the large battery. You don't need to worry about the power problem when using iPhone 11 Pro Max. It is appropriate to use iPhone 11 Pro Max for a whole day without playing games for two days. As for iPhone 11, I don't think it is obviously different from XR, but it is within a good range. This year, it was overtaken by Max.
This time, the charging has also been strengthened in an epic way. The 5V1A charging head, which is the standard configuration of the iPhone 11 Pro series, has finally been replaced 18W PD quick charging head After thinking about the C to L data cable, I really felt that Apple's 5V1A family heirloom charging head for more than ten years has finally sold out.
▲ Charging head standard for iPhone 11 Pro series
▲ Charging head standard for iPhone 11
However, Apple likes to give me a chance to say that the iPhone 11 with lower price is still equipped with 5V1A super environmental friendly charging head as standard. I don't know what to say. I thought the whole system is equipped with 18W PD fast charging head as standard, but when I got hold of the iPhone 11, there was still an ancestral 5V1A?
According to the author's test, the highest charging power of the iPhone 11 series can reach more than 22W, which means that the original 18W PD head can no longer meet the requirements of the new iPhone, and you need to pay more for a higher power PD head.
▲ iPhone 11 charging percentage
▲ iPhone 11 charging power change
Use 30W PD charging head for charging test. It is required to fully charge iPhone 11 1 hour 44 minutes , the peak charging power can reach 22W About 13 minutes before charging, the online power can be maintained above 20W, and the overall charging performance is much better than that of the previous generation XR.
▲ iPhone 11 Pro Max power percentage
▲ iPhone 11 Pro Max charging power change
IPhone 11 Pro Max is full of needs 1 hour 42 minutes , The battery capacity is larger, and the charging time is faster, which is interesting. Viewing the charging power, we can see that the charging process of iPhone 11 Pro Max is very active, and it has been kept for 7 minutes before charging 23W The peak power fluctuates a little after 7 minutes, but it can remain above 20W for most of the time until 31 minutes, when the power starts to decline significantly. The larger body of the iPhone 11 Pro Max endows it with stronger heat dissipation capability and can better distribute the heat generated during charging, so the peak power maintained during charging is also more durable, which can explain why the iPhone 11 Pro Max is faster than the iPhone 11.
summary
In order to distinguish the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro series, Apple has made more differences in this generation. The iPhone 11 Pro series not only has a screen with better display effect, upgraded the 18W PD fast charger head and line, added a telephoto camera, narrower frame, and better texture design, but also uses a double-layer motherboard in this generation of iPhone 11, In addition, the iPhone 11 Pro series has graphene heat dissipation, but the iPhone 11 does not. Last year, the cheaper iPhone with better heat dissipation no longer exists. These are the differences made by Apple to highlight "Pro". It can be said that Apple has made a good distinction between the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro series this time. There are no following violations, and you can definitely buy the best one with more money.
As the successor of XR, iPhone 11 is almost the same as XR in experience. The official website price is ￥ 5499, which is lower than that of XR in the same year. The experience is also very "Apple". In addition to the price reduction strategy of PDD and other third-party platforms, there is no doubt that the new iPhone is the most worth buying (Not because of the poor family? ） 。
As for the iPhone 11 Pro series, if we leave aside the price, the iPhone 11 Pro series is a very excellent phone this year, with a powerful three camera system, a top AMOLED screen, and Apple's most proud iOS. It can be said that this is Apple's best iPhone ever. Of course, these are nonsense. I don't know how to deal with the price of more than 10000 yuan. I use it carefully every day for fear of bumping into it. One day, I found a scratch on the screen and wanted to slap myself. Why are more than 10000 items so careless? After all, Xiaobian's family is poor and can only afford an iPhone 11 Pro Max. So "Expensive" This is the biggest disadvantage of the iPhone 11 Pro series.
