depending on if you get a sale of
buy one get one free or anything like that through your carrier now people
wanted to talk about the durability of it how its held up as far as scratches reception
software issues the controversial display battery life camera and more and if
you want to jump to any specific point of the video I'll link those in the
description below now the first thing is overall durability now like I said
this has been kept in a case regularly and has held up really well the phone
does have some scratches on the display I'll talk about in just a moment but
the phone being made of aluminum even
though that's softer than stainless steel makes it feel a little bit lighter and in general has held up well being in a case it has zero dings on it whatsoever even though the bottom of the case exposes the bottom of the iPhone there's no dings or dents or anything like that I've never dropped it and I don't generally drop phones my hands are big enough that they just stay put so I don't really have that issue now as far as the back being glass it's held up well it doesn't have any scratches on it that are visible the front display does have a few scratches on it if I turn the lights up here you may be able to see a few of them along with some of my fingerprints but there might be a few light scratches on it not really a whole lot it's held up incredibly well and I've not really had any issues with it now that being said the lip on the case has helped prevent scratches when setting it down on surfaces but this is only set on things like tables or a soft cloth surface it's not really anything that's a problem so in general it holds up well you can expect it to hold up better obviously if you have a screen
protector for example now aside from scratches and things it's design is one that I think is right for most people it's in between the size of the 11proand the 11pro max so if you need that in between size of a 6.1 inch display it's a really good size for most people and the price obviously makes it a little bit more
reasonable for most people now when it
comes to the iPhone 11s display that's where the most controversy arrives
because this is a fairly expensive phone that does not have an OLED display and
a super-high resolution but it's arguable that this display looks just as good
as the OLED displays with the exception of maybe super bright lights or super
bright colors and very dark blacks that's going to be the difference between
these displays other than that there's another advantage to the iPhone 11 LCD
display and that has to do with PWM or pulse width modulation and what I mean by
that is the iPhone 11uses an LCD panel so it doesn't control its brightness by
pulsing the screen on and off so many people about 1 in 10 are affected by this
and it can give them headaches and things like that but you don't get that with
the iPhone 11because it's an LCD display so when you adjust brightness it's not
flickering you can't see the flicker but it's actually flickering on an iPhone
11 Pro and Pro max so OLED
displays control brightness differently and they
can really give you headaches so if you have an iPhone 10 and iPhone 10 s 10 s
max 11or 11 Pro max that could be giving you headaches these phones won't be
giving you headaches because they don't work the same way the other thing is
iPhone11 s LCD or liquid Retina display is the same sort of display technology that's used
on Apple as a pro display XDR
and Apple could have gone with an OLED display but the reason they didn't is LCDs especially as they get larger tend to be much more color accurate and have less color shift over time than OLED displays and so that's why you don't see those in larger displays from Apple so there's much more saturation sometimes with an OLED but with an LCD that like you've got on the iPhone 11 you tend to have more accurate colors and there just seemed to last a little bit longer over time with less color shift now for a phone that may not be as of a deal but it's something that I think is less of a big deal than people make
of it you can't see the pixels and if you look at the iPhone 11
Pro Macs and the iPhone 11 side-by-side if I could hide the phones and not tell
you what they were chances are you wouldn't be able to differentiate between the
two other than maybe the very vibrant are as or the dark blacks otherwise most
people wouldn't be able to tell the difference even though they think they can I
would almost guarantee they can't and I've tested this among many many people to
prove that point now as far as people saying you
can't even watch 1080p videos
on YouTube well that's just not accurate at all the one thing you can't do is
watch an HDR like you can on an OLED display you don't have the option for it
but you do have the option for 1080p but you don't want to watch in 720p because
that's not accurate either so what it's doing is scaling that display down and
you're still going to get 1080p no problem it will look fine and most people
will really appreciate the screen in the quality of it and going along with the
screen is the
speakers thespeakers are basically the same as the 11 Pro and Pro
max if I play it here andturn it up they sound nice and clear they'revibrant at
high volumes they go really loud and they do a great job of givingyou a nice
stereo sound you've got a speaker at the top one at the bottom andthey sound
fantastic so there's no complaints in the speaker Departmentyou've got basically
the same speakers it's the higher end phones so no issuesthere now as far as
software with the iPhone 11 when it launched the
softwarewas not ready in fact
it had many issues until recently some people still have afew bugs here and
there and iOS 13 in general has not been up to the qualityof iOS 12 and it
seems like Apple does this every other year lately and sorecently iOS 13 has
finally gotten to the point where I would say it's fairlystable most of the
time as stable as any other phone the problem is is for sixmonths you had to
endure issues with everything from crashes to something assimple as 3d pressing
or haptic pressing on the display and going to bluetoothhaving that crash now
it seems to be much better now other than the softwarebugs I mentioned the
phone in general is just super fast you'll have no problemsas far as
scrolling
everything's nice and smooth and no it doesn't have ahundred and twenty Hertz
screen maybe that'll come next year or later thisyear but in general it's just
nice and smooth and fast all the time you haveenough RAM to do what you need
it's got four gigabytes of RAMyou've got apples a 13 processor and everything's
just nice and fastunlike Android phones where they've got 12 and 16 gigs of RAM
more RAM might benice but you really won't notice it here apps don't tend to
reload that much
oranything like that like I said scrolling is fast if youwant
to use it for games you'll have no issue in fact you'll have no issue withgames
on older phones either just everything in general seems to be niceand fast
editing video on this phone is nice and fast so if I go into iMovie andgo into
this movie and we go to edit we can edit through a video no problem thisis a 4k
60 video and it's flying through it without any hiccups you can edit itexport it
and it looks as good as anything else out there so I'm reallyimpressed with
this processor and maybe Apple add more RAM in the future but itdoesn't seem
needed it seems plenty fast in general reception on this phone tendsto be
really really good in fact in many casesI find it to be better than the iPhone
11 Pro and Promax I've had less issueswith phone calls and I've had good
connection in general the bars on thesignal strength aren't really a good way
to measure this because
those can varybased on settings that Apple presets
within their settings to say 1 barequals this range of decimals and they can
change that from software tosoftware so without seeing the actual numbers I
can't tell you the truereception of it compared to an 11 Pro but just people in
general tend to saythat it has better reception or in general just as good if
not better Wi-Fispeeds supposedly are a little bit less but I really see no
differencewhatsoever and keep in mind if you're streaming a 4k video you only
need 15megabits per second so as long as you've got that you should be fine but
ingeneral you'll have no
problems with Wi-Fi except for maybe through an
updatethat messes something up so hopefully Apple fixes that with iOS 14 and
thiswill get updates for the next five years or so or four and a half years or
so atminimum so that's why this is a pretty decent phone for its price you've
gotall these different things such as reception in long term software
updatesand that leads me to battery life most people get really good battery life
onthis phone and I've only recently put my sim card back in this phone and you
cansee it's been on for a few days now battery health on my iPhone 11 pro
maxwent down to 99 percent just
after 6 months this one has not been used
asmuch as that phone so it's still at 100% and that's charging it every night
andleaving it on the charger and a wireless charger and charging it when I'm
drivingso that's how it's usually used you'll see that over the last four days
it hasnot had a huge amount of usage however I reached out to a bunch of people
thatfollow this channel and follow me on Twitter and things like that to see
whatkind of battery life they were getting to because there are a lot of
peoplethat will experience a different battery life depending on how they use
it andI've seen as bad as 3 to 4 hours and as much as 10 hours plus so
depending onwhat you're doing you can expect really decent batterylife with
this phone in general the only one you're going to get much better withis the
11pro max because
the battery is much larger so the battery sizes varybetween
these phones on enough that the 11pro max will get morebut this is still a very
decent option for battery life and of course you couldadd a battery case or you
could just charge it whenever you need to fastcharge but it does not include a
fast charger but you can use one with it ifyou want to pick one up separately
so if you have one of the new iPad you coulduse that charger for example now
the camera is great you've only got twolenses on this one and so after using it
for six months on and off I use this asa video camera just like I did with the
ten are a lot I use this as a videocamera most of the time you're going to get
the same photo quality that you doout of the 11pro and Promax just minus the
telephoto lens so you've got thewide and ultra wide but the video quality is
fantastic you've got 4k 60you've got 4k 60 there you can change it right here
on the newest
phones so 4k 60quality it records great and in fact you won't
notice the difference between merecording this video with a Panasonic gh2 the
time verse one of these exceptfor in different situations where it's a little
bit darker otherwise most peoplecan't even tell the difference in fact let me
just switch over to the videohere and now we're fully recording with the iPhone
11 so the video quality isquite good you'll see that it looks similar as far as
colors the quality isgood the resolution looks great the detail is great and I
wouldn't say it'sa cinema camera but there's enough quality in this camera that
most peoplewouldn't
even be able to tell the difference so it's definitely
worthpicking up and I would say the video camera is the best on the market
alongwith the 11pro and Promax compared to any other phone photos it's
verysubjective but video quality is top-notchnow the forward facing camera is
great and it's the same 12 megapixel camerathat you get on the 11pro and Promax
it's got the depth sensor from the faceID sensor as well and if we scroll over
here you can use the clips app to dothese sort of comic overlays or whatever
you'd like black and white or atomicmono and it's got face tracking for an
emoji all sorts of things and it's goodenough that you can record in 4k and you
can record in 4k 60 as well so if I spinthe camera around here go to video
you've got 4k 30 now we've got 4k 60 soit does a great job and if you want to
use it for just selfies or maybe youvlog with it it's going to do a great job
as long as you have
goodlight now what is not as good as the rear-facing camera
but it's definitelythe best forward-facing camera and an iPhone and its really
good enough thatmost people won't even notice the difference unless you're used
to acinema camera or something like that so what I still recommend 1 after 6
monthsof use and having only about 6 months left to pick up the next version
ofiPhone whenever that is absolutely I would pick one of these up in fact
thisis the number one recommendation I give to people as far as looking for
iPhoneso if they're looking for an iPhone and they don't care about the latest
andgreatest most expensive iPhone in largest screen out there this is the oneI
recommend most because it's durable it's proven it's it's timeit's got ip68
certification and everything else I've already mentionedabout it so yes I
definitely pick one of these up still it's super fast it has agreat camera
great speakers and most people will be very happy with itso let me know your
thoughts about it though in the comments below.
