So it'll be okay if you drop it in at the deep end of the swimming pool.Īudio has been boosted, with support for Dolby Atmos’ object-based sound from the phone’s stereo speakers, and there’s now also a bigger battery (3,190mAh vs 2,168mAh), which Apple says adds up to four hours to the overall running time of the phone. It’s also now IP68 dust- and water-resistant, which means it’ll survive encounters with fresh water down to a depth of four metres for up to 30 minutes. The phone comes with a more powerful 18W mains charger, so it’s quicker to charge than with the 15W one supplied with the XS. The only hardware differences, aside from the big ones noted above, are more subtle. It’s worth mentioning, though, that the front camera has been boosted to 12-megapixels from the 7-megapixels in the iPhone Xs this year, and that there's a new Midnight Green colour to add to the more familiar Space Grey, silver and gold variants. The positioning of buttons, antenna bands, speaker grille and charging ports are all the same, too. The notch is still there, stubbornly clinging on despite all the brickbats hurled in its general direction, and it houses the same Face ID setup. The glass is tougher, says Apple, but the materials on show are the same, with a polished, colour-matched stainless steel frame surrounding the edges of the phone and hardened sapphire crystal topping each of the phone’s cameras.

You’ll have to learn to live without the Pro’s telephoto camera, AMOLED screen and improved water-resistance, though.Īpple iPhone 11 Pro review: Design and new featuresĪside from its controversial camera housing, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro’s design is nigh on identical to the iPhone Xs.
If you simply have to have an iPhone but can’t afford the 11 Pro, the iPhone 11 is a good deal cheaper at £729. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the more natural competitor and that’s over £400 cheaper at around £635. This costs £999 currently but is more of a rival for the bigger 6.5in iPhone 11 Pro Max. The closest in price to the iPhone 11 Pro is our favourite Android flagship, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I think, considering the high price, that 64GB on the base model is rather mean but Apple customers must be used to this by now.Įven compared with priciest the Android crop can muster, this remains A LOT OF MONEY, though. The “cheapest” iPhone 11 Pro is now £1,049 for the model with 64GB of storage (no, there’s no microSD expansion) and this price goes up to £1,199 for the 256GB model and £1,399 for the 512GB model. There hasn’t been an awful lot of change when it comes to pricing, either, with the new flagships rising a mere £50 in price.

There’s been no change in screen size or form factor for either of the firm’s flagships. Otherwise, it’s very much business as usual.

And the big feature upgrade for 2019/20 is to the cameras, with one additional ultrawide shooter adding to the primary and 2x telephoto of last year’s S-series iPhones Xs and Xs Max. In reality, although important in its own right, the design of the iPhone 11 Pro plays second fiddle to the tangible improvements Apple has made to rest of the iPhone 11 Pro.

And the camera bump itself is positioned in just the right place, too.īut it’s the rest of the iPhone 11 Pro’s glass rear that proves ultimately persuasive, its matte finish beautifully smooth – a silky texture that feels like beach glass, ground smooth by years of tidal shift. Each camera lens is framed boldly in stainless steel, seemingly perfectly positioned in space, each one equidistant from the other. The square camera bump isn’t quite as prominent as I first assumed it would be and the fact it’s part of the same piece of glass – just with a different finish to the rest of the rear panel – is actually rather clever.Īlthough he’s long-gone, Jony Ive’s influence can still be seen, hidden in the fine details. Now I have one in my hands, however, my opinion has softened somewhat. That trio of camera lenses looked, to my eyes, awkward – ugly even – peering like some three-eyed Harry Potter out of the rear of the phone. When I first clapped eyes on it I instinctively didn’t like the look of the thing. Hands up: I was wrong about the iPhone 11 Pro.
