Dad has come home, what could we say. For a long time I have seen how the "Pro" range is expanding throughout the Apple catalog, starting with the MacBook Pro, the iMac Pro, the Mac Pro and of course the iPad Pro. Now the tag "Pro" It has also landed on the iPhone. We welcome the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, we show you all its features and what you should know about the new Apple flagship. If you want to feel like a true Pro you will have to go through the checkout, and in Apple "Pro" also means expensive.
The "Pro" is pure power
The iPhone 11 Pro and its older brother the iPhone 11 Pro Max are destined to be the most powerful mobile phones on the market, Apple has also ensured that it has the most powerful integrated GPU available and without a doubt this will support the growth of your Apple Arcade service. It has its logic, the suffix «Pro» would not have much to offer if it were short of power, for this it uses its Neural Engine system and the processor A13 Bionic designed by Apple and manufactured by TSMC in 7nm It offers power and low consumption (IP68 protection for water).
It is also accompanied by 6 GB of RAM, just 2GB less than entry-level MacBook Pro models, that's nothing. Connectivity is also not far behind with LTE 4 × 4 MIMO and of course 6 WiFi accompanied Bluetooth 5.0 and the NFC chip of the company that serves to get the most out of Apple Pay. At the security level we continue to stay in the Face ID as a facial unlocking system with no apparent novelties. We will position our GPS accompanied GLONASS and Galileo, as well as the possibility of using a fast charge of 18W that this time is included in the package, the charger finally abandons the 5W, something that already seemed almost ironic.
Screens are still the difference
Already last year the iPhone XS mounted what was called by specialists as the best OLED screen on the market. Manufactured by Samsung, the iPhone 11 Pro screen has Full HD resolution in his new Super Retina XDR that stand out by a contrast of 2M: 1, a maximum brightness of 1.200 nits and of course HDR10 and Dolby Vision making it an extremely efficient and bright panel with outstanding contrast. However, what we do not find behind the panel this time is the 3D Touch that Apple has decided to replace with its Haptic Touch software version. Needless to say, Apple is still betting on the true Tone to adjust the reproduced colors.
- Pro iPhone 11: 5,8 inches OLED> 2.436 x 1.125
- iPhone 11 Pro Max: 6,5 inches OLED> 2.688 x 1.242
At the sound level the iPhone 11 Pro in its two variants It has stereo recording and of course sound reproduction through two stereo speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos, undoubtedly this iPhone is going to offer a multimedia experience to match.
Triple camera, infinite possibilities
The camera wants to be the differentiated point, we find the great camera module that is going to produce love and disenchantment in equal parts. We have in it three sensors of 12MP each that offer a wide angle, an ultra wide angle and of course the classic telephoto lens, these are its characteristics in a differentiated way:
- Rear camera: 12 + 12 + 12 MP wide angle (f / 1.8), ultra wide angle (f / 2.4) and telephoto lens (f / 2.0), double OIS and also 2x optical zoom.
- Selfie camera: 12 megapixels, f / 2.2, 4K 60 FPS recording, Retina flash, 1080p slow motion video at 120 FPS
- Recording Rear Camera: 4K up to 60 FPS
Apple wants with this to offer a possibility of customization that until now was not present, a lot of versatility and even the ability to remove black bars from the camera app. Also the iOS 13.1 software will be adapted appropriately with the intention of improving this experience at the level of editing and capture. Undoubtedly the triple sensor gives many possibilities and this is increased with the Smart HDR which includes the editing software handled by the A13 Bionic processor, accompanied by a new "Night mode" which aims to stand up to the good results obtained by Huawei and Google in low light conditions.
Design: Identical on the front, everything different on the back
On the front we continue with the frames considerably reduced, a notch of a size to take into account (fault of the Face ID that improves its speed by 30% thanks to iOS 13). The button layout remains the same, as well as the polished steel for the body and the glass for the rear, all the prominence on this occasion will be taken by the back, the controversial design of its camera module and the new company logo situation that goes to the center while the review "iPhone" disappears.
The triple camera stands out slightly, there is no choice and it seems something more than assumed by the company and by consumers. This time we have four colors of the iPhone 11 Pro: Black, white, gold and a new dark green. This new color is quite elegant and distances itself from the strange colors that Huawei and Samsung have been presenting, highly striking and bright, Does the Cupertino company mean something by this to its competitors?
