This is the first flagship iPhone that Apple has had at a lower price than its predecessor in the past 12 years.
Since the release of the original iPhone in 2007, Apple’s annual flagship price has never been lower than its predecessor, but now Apple has finally ushered in its “yield moment” – in the early morning of September 11th, we I saw the new iPhone 11 whose price fell back to the level two years ago.
The three new phones this year are the iPhone 11 with dual cameras and the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max with three cameras. Most of the time of the whole conference was about the photographic effect. Apple finally failed to avoid the custom. Like most Android manufacturers, the mobile phone conference became more like a camera conference.
The iPhone 11 is equipped with a 12 megapixel telephoto lens and a 12 megapixel wide-angle lens. The appearance of a wide-angle lens is a surprising change – according to Apple’s tradition, this position should be a portrait lens. But Apple decided to use a wide-angle lens, allowing users to choose to capture more of their surroundings while taking pictures.
Apple also highlighted night scene shooting mode, which will compete with the Night Sight feature on Google Pixel phones for dim photo taking. In addition, Apple has improved the image processing function of the new mobile phone, adding a “multi-scale tone mapping” function, which can perform different highlight processing according to different scenes, so that it retains more highlights and details in each shot.
There are not many two lenses, and there are three. Apple’s first mobile phone, the iPhone 11 Pro, named Pro, is superior in lens configuration, with a wide angle (f/1.8), telephoto (f/2.4), 120° super wide-angle (f/2.0) three-shot combination, support for 0.5x, 1x, 2x optical zoom, and three cameras can smoothly migrate. In addition, the phone also supports shooting 4F video of 60FPS, and has professional editing capabilities.
In the absence of good ideas, taking a few more shots for your phone is clearly the lowest innovation. At this point, Apple has not gone too far with Android phones. The Huawei P20 three cameras released in March 2018, the Samsung Galaxy A9 four cameras released in October 2018, and the Nokia 9 PureView five cameras released in February 2019, major manufacturers are competing to make us buy new machines. The meaning is getting blurred.
In addition to the long statement about photography, one of the highlights at the press conference was that the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro were equipped with Apple’s latest CPU, the A13 biochip, which is Apple’s fastest chip to date. 1 trillion operations per second can be performed.
In the battery life, both new products have improved. Apple CEO Cook said that the iPhone 11 is one hour longer than the iPhone XR, and the iPhone 11 Pro has improved by 4 hours over the iPhone XS. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is up to 5 hours faster than the iPhone XS Max.
In terms of size, as with last year, the lowest-priced product is not the smallest product on the screen. The iPhone 11 features a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display, and the iPhone 11 Pro features a 5.8-inchSuper Retina XDR display. Pro Max is the same size as the Pro screen. It is 6.5 inches. The two high-end products have a screen contrast of 2 million:1 and a brightness of 1200 nits.
The iPhone 11 is available in 6 colors, namely purple, green, yellow, white, black and red. iPhone 11 Pro is available in four colors, in addition to deep gray, silver, gold, and a new midnight green.
The iPhone 11 is the first flagship iPhone in Apple that has been at a lower price than its predecessor in the past 12 years. Its starting price is 50 US dollars lower than the iPhone XR, only 699 US dollars, the National Bank version is 5499 yuan, 1,000 yuan lower than the XR. The price of the iPhone 11 Pro is the same as that of the iPhone Xs, which is $999, and the National Bank version is priced at 8699 yuan. The price of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the same as that of the iPhone Xs Max, which is $1,099, and the national version is priced at RMB 9,599.
