You probably haven’t seen so many cameras on Apple’s website – 7 iPhones, with 15 shots . No him, just because this is the biggest selling point.

Even if it is the best-selling mobile phone in the world, it seems a bit arrogant to put the treasure on the photo.

After the iPhone 11 conference, Ai Faner got the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max for the first time. After experiencing it for a while, we found that this may not be the case. Behind the huge eye-catching mirrors, there are many places in the iPhone 11 series that are worth mentioning – perhaps the camera is so outrage that other details are masked.

This time, let us pick you out one by one.

Appearance: something other than beauty and ugliness

When I first got the iPhone 11, the warm body and the weight of the pickpocket, a familiar feeling Health – iPhone XR is the feeling.

Specific to the body specifications, you will find that the iPhone 11 is exactly the same as the iPhone XR, even the weight is the same 194g .

I also put an iPhone XR’s transparent phone case on the iPhone 11 and found that almost everything except the flash and the rear microphone can be matched.

But the two are not unchanged.

The six colors have different degrees of adjustment. The yellow and red are lighter than before, the previous blue, Coral color was replaced by new purple and green. People who have seen the green iPhone 11 real machine can’t help but sigh:

Hey, isn’t this Tiffany Blue?

In addition, the iconic  LOGO on the back of the iPhone moves down to the middle, and the word “iPhone” that was previously marked under the fuselage, This time it has also disappeared.

Indeed, by the time of the iPhone 11 generation, Apple no longer has to use text to emphasize product attributes on the body.

Because this is the iPhone.

The adjustments at the end of the twig are harmless, but the camera that really makes the iPhone 11 series and the previous generation open the visual difference.

You will find that the glass backplanes of the three new iPhone 11 models are CNC-based on a whole piece of glass. What the processing technology obtained, Apple called it a “stereo glass back plate.” After molding, the glass will be etched and reinforced by chemical processes.

In fact, starting with the iPhone 6s, Apple has been enhanced with the dual ion exchange process on the iPhone screen surface, iPhone 11 series It is also the reinforcement of the front and rear glass, it is reasonable to say that it is more resistant to falling.

Although the process is the same, it is handled differently.

iPhone 11 Only the camera part is matte, while the iPhone 11 Pro is the opposite, except for the camera module and LOGO In part, the entire back is matte.

Matte processing can bring a lot of benefits, such as the iPhone 11 Pro is not as susceptible to fingerprints as the iPhone 11, and The look is more advanced, the feel is also very comfortable, and the new midnight green color complements each other.

As for the border, the iPhone 11 and the iPhone XR are both matte aluminum frames, while the iPhone 11 Pro is used with the iPhone XS. Consistent stainless steel.

In other words, if you buy the silver version of the iPhone 11 Pro, the stainless steel primary border is easier to grind.

Yes, the waterproof performance of the iPhone 11 series has also made great progress. The waterproof performance of the iPhone 11 is twice that of the iPhone XR. , reached the IP68 level (under the IEC 60529 standard).

The iPhone 11 Pro is more water resistant than the iPhone 11, and can stay up to 30 meters deep for up to 30 minutes.

In general, the iPhone 11 seriesThe old pursuit of Apple’s ultimate pursuit of craftsmanship, as for the beauty is ugly, it is a matter of opinion – even if you think that the “Yuba” mirror group is very ugly, you have to admit after getting the real machine, it is very ugly “advanced”.

In terms of appearance, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro did not open too much difference, once the screen was lit, two The person is judged high.

iPhone 11 still uses the iPhone Rex LCD display of the iPhone XR (1792 x 828 pixel resolution, 326 ppi), max. The brightness is 625 nits.

As for the iPhone 11 Pro series, the screen is quite powerful. Apple directly called the “Super Retina XDR Display” – this is Apple’s $5,000 6K. The name used by the display.

Although compared to the previous iPhone XS, the screen material, resolution, and color gamut of the iPhone 11 Pro series have not changed, but it The contrast has doubled directly to 2000000:1, and the maximum brightness has been increased from 625 nits to 800 nits, and even up to 1200 nits when viewing HDR images or videos.

When the brightness is boosted, this screen also gets 15% power optimization, which is also the life of two iPhone 11 Pro One of the reasons for the sharp rise.

However, during the actual experience, we found that the iPhone 11 Pro will have a drop in screen brightness when it overheats. In the strong sunshine environment, the peak brightness of the iPhone 11 Pro may not last too long, which is different from the debugging strategy of Samsung Note10+ “no matter how hot the phone is, the screen is the brightest”.

In addition to the display effect, the iPhone’s external quality has been improving, and the iPhone 11 has added space-to-space audio. With the support of playback and Dolby panoramic sound, the sound of the speakers is full and full of three-dimensionality.

There is one more thing to note, that is, the iPhone 11 series has all cut 3D Touch and changed to Haptic Touch. The length of the long press to distinguish.

The reason for canceling 3D Touch is different. The more reasonable guess is to plug the iPhone into a larger capacity battery, or to optimize it. Endurance performance.

Fortunately, Apple’s debugging of linear motors has been in full swing in recent years, and the shock feedback of iPhone 11 is excellent, intuitive and The iPhone XS is in the same file, and even the earthquake is even stronger.

With the optimization of Haptic Touch by iOS 13, it is foreseeable that all kinds of gestures of 3D Touch will be transplanted in the future. Come over, at least for the current iOS 13 native app.

Cut out 3D Touch is not without side effects. The most obvious thing about perception is that it takes longer to unload the app. Here is a little trick to share with you, hold down the app and drag to quickly move or unload the app, like this:

Camera: Three lenses and one system

In Apple’s product design in recent years, there is such an unwritten rule:

The “ugly” thing is the “good” thing.

For example, the new Mac Pro’s hole-intensive chassis design caused a lot of controversy at the beginning of the release.But it does play a vital role – the iPhone 11 Pro’s “ugly” high-end camera, too.

Because the core parameters and experience of the three models of the iPhone 11 series are similar, this article focuses on the iPhone 11 Pro; The differences in the iPhone 11 are also mentioned in the article.

The iPhone 11 has a 12-megapixel, 26mm equivalent focal length wide-angle lens, equivalent to a 12-megapixel, 13mm The super wide-angle lens of the focal length; the iPhone 11 Pro dual-machine adds a 12-megapixel, 52mm equivalent focal length telephoto lens.

As we all know, multi-camera structure has become the mainstream of current smart phones.But in fact, each of these lenses is independent: they have their own mirrors and their own CMOS, just like three different cameras.

What Apple did was to make the 3 lenses of the iPhone 11 Pro as close as possible – whether it’s pixels or white The balance is almost the same as the color, and it looks like a zoom camera with an equivalent 13mm – 52mm focal length.

We used to say that the iPhone is used as a computer to make a mobile phone. Now, the iPhone is used as a camera to make a mobile phone. .

The most intuitive benefit of this multi-camera system is that it can be “seamlessly switched” when zooming. On the phone, this is a very rare experience.

You may have noticed that this time, the camera interface of the iPhone 11 Pro is also very different from the past – its interface has A huge zoom ring that vibrates with the Taptic Engine when rotated, just like a real twisted lens.

A closer look, you will find that the camera viewfinder is immersed, with four corners in the picture, meaning This is a real viewfinder, and the translucent part is actually a picture of the super wide-angle lens.

▲ The frame part is the super wide-angle lens framing section

At this point, even if the focal length changes, the picture can be seamlessly stitched together (of course, when the subject is too close, it will still Wear help) – This is the benefit of the consistent three-lens imaging style.

This is also the premise that the iPhone 11 series can achieve another “black technology” – “super frame framing.”

Super Frame framing is a hidden feature of the iPhone 11, which is turned off by default and needs to be manually opened in the camera settings.

When turned on, when you press the shutter, the iPhone will have two cameras to take photos at the same time, and will follow your choice. The main angle of view to synthesize photos – when the main angle of view is 1x, the main lens and super wide-angle lens work at the same time, the main angle of view is 2x, the lens is the wide-angle main and telephoto lens. The combined photo will display the “Super Frame framing” mark in the album.

When you edit and crop a photo with a tag, you will find that the phone has taken some pictures that you couldn’t get. Help you to better compose your picture.

“Super Frame framing” provides more room for secondary composition.Very helpful for photographers.

It’s worth mentioning that when dealing with the photos of the Super Frame, there will be no obvious stitching. There is no degradation of the edge quality, and the user can safely cut the desired picture at will.

Photos of “Super Frame framing” will be saved for 30 days, after which the extra screen information will be deleted automatically, those The picture that “I couldn’t take it” will disappear forever.

There is still a detail that you may not have noticed. There is a small arrow between the flash and the live photo switch, which is actually The iPhone takes a photo of the “Professional Mode” entrance, and the options such as “Night Scene Mode”, “Screen Scale”, and “Camera Filter” will all be turned on.

Finally, Apple also optimized the shutter button – short press the shutter to take a photo, long press the shutter to start recording video, shutter button Left slide is continuous shooting, right slide into the video interface, the operation is completed in one go, and the experience is smooth.

▲ Continuous shooting

▲ Video Shooting

The above points constitute a brand new iPhone camera interface. At first glance, it is the same as the previous easy-to-use interface. But there are quite a few doorways that fully reflect the design capabilities of the Apple software team.

Analyze the imaging system of the iPhone 11 series, and then take a look at the real shot effect of the iPhone 11 series, compared to the previous generation, The photography of the iPhone 11 series is very playable.

Below, start by comparing the selling point – super wide-angle lens:

However, the barrel shape produced by the super wide-angle lens Distortion is still relatively large.

Although the iPhone’s sensor size is small, the equivalent coefficient is higher,But because the physical focal length of the lens is too short, distortion can be seen even after a large magnification cut..

WeSuggestionsWhen shooting landscapes with super wide angles, as much as possible Avoid placing buildings or other tall objects on the edges, or the building will be distorted by distortion..

The telephoto lens, Apple this time on the iPhone 11The Pro series’ telephoto lens was upgraded, and the aperture was upgraded from F2.4 to F2.0 on the iPhone XS, and the amount of light increased by 40%. The iPhone 11 Pro’s telephoto performance will be better than the iPhone XS series if it hits the night or some lack of light.OneSome.

The telephoto quality of iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro Max is similar in daylight conditions,The iPhone 11 Pro telephoto shot of the building retains more wall detail, but the details of the dark part still have to Less than the iPhone XS.

With the middle of the autofocus default selection, the iPhone XS can see some details of the ceiling at the top left of the image, while the iPhone 11 Pro did not retain this part of the information.

Similar changes, mainly with iPhone About the metering strategy, each A generation will have minor adjustments.

Whether it’s metering strategy, smart HDR processing or the newly added “night mode”, Apple has not deliberately increased brightness this time. .

We originally saw the location in the dark, iPhone 11 and iPhone11 Pro Max does not deliberately brighten when taking pictures. This is a concrete expression of Apple’s emphasis on the concept of “seeing is believing”. It is indeed different from other mobile phones. .

Compared to the Android camp, real-life recovery iPhone This time there is no algorithm to process the image significantly,< Span class="ql-author-4785228">This is in addition to ensuring the natural feel of the image, sufficientLate space.

Although the effect of straight out is not, but the user has more room in the post, and can bring up photos that are more suitable for their style.

For those who lovephotographers, iPhone may be a more appropriate option.

“Night Mode” is the first time that the iPhone has introduced long exposure shots. The handheld supports up to 3 seconds and the exposure time of the tripod is up to 30 seconds, the trigger condition and exposure time of the night mode are all automatically judged by the system. It is a semi-automatic mode. Although the usage scene is limited, it also improves the filming rate.

Compared with the “night mode” of other mobile phone manufacturers, Apple’s pursuit of “real” values ​​is also reflected here. Got it all out.

Night Mode Sample 01

iPhone 11 Pro Max

Google Pixel 3

Galaxy S10

iPhone 11 Pro Max Turns on night mode with noticeable brightness and image retention. For example, the light above the aisle of the aircraft will have a certain degree of lightening, but there will be no problem of high light exposure. The overall brightness of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is similar to that of Google Pixel 3 and is better than the Galaxy S10.

In terms of image color reproduction, iPhone 11 Pro Max will be more accurate than Google Pixel 3, and algorithm processing will have fewer imaging side effects than Google Pixel 3.

Okay, let’s look at a group. Let’s guess which one is taken by the iPhone 11 Pro Max. /span>

Night mode proofs 02

– The answer is revealed, from top to bottom, respectively:

  • Google Pixel 3
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max
  • Galaxy S10

Are you guessing it?

When the portrait is turned on in night mode, both the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Galaxy S10 can restore the color temperature effect of the field environment. In terms of overall brightness performance, the iPhone 11 Pro Max will be a bit brighter and more enjoyable than the Galaxy S10.

Google Pixel 3, while able to take a picture with accurate color temperature exposure, seems to be more likely to please the user.

Just, this kind of restoration is too different from the photo environment, a bit overkill. For those who are pursuing a true restoration, this is not necessarily a good thing.

AtthisSample, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max have good low-light shooting performance when night mode is turned on, usually 2- The 3 second handheld night shot has a high rate of filming, and the effect is quite satisfactory.

Night Scene Mode Sample 04

It’s important to note that the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro series switch to super wide-angle lens and the back bucket does not support night mode shooting. If you want to take a wider picture at night,Then you need to use other methods to achieve it.

Video, also the highlight of the iPhone 11 series, support 4K / 60 frame shooting, remember the surprise at the press conference Heaven’s demo? It’s a film-level level. Although it’s hard for people to shoot, it’s undeniable that the iPhone 11 Pro is already a very powerful image creation tool.

The anti-shake performance of the iPhone has always been good, and this generation of enhancements is even more obvious.

Environment on the stairsin , iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max perform similarly, and the magnitude of the increase is also expected.

This level of anti-shake is sufficient for short video Hand-held shootingRequirements, of course, hand-held shooting has a higher stability requirement for people. If it is not the Weibs arm, long-term hand-held shooting is still somewhat stressful.

In addition to the most commonly used photos and videos, this iPhone 11 series camera has many details that have been improved. Here is also an inventory for everyone:

iPhone 11 SeriesFrontLens upgrade to a 12 megapixel wide-angle lens, just switch the phone from portrait view to landscape, then the front camera VisionAutomatically grows larger and enters “Wide Angle” mode( Of course you can also switch manually).

The recording function of the front lens has also been upgraded to support 4K / 60fps shooting, while supporting 1080P / 120fps slow motion shooting, for Zhang Yang’s video creators, there are many ways to play.

The use of telephoto and super wide-angle lenses has also been expanded.

Now iPhone 11 You can switch the super wide-angle lens when taking a panoramic photo, and the iPhone 11 Pro can switch between the “Portrait” and “Panorama”. The “Super Panorama” photo taken with the super wide-angle lens is very exaggerated:

Yes, the iPhone 11 series has a hidden selling point: multi-lens simultaneous framing, which also benefits from the A13 biochip The powerful computing power and the open camera interface of iOS 13 (iPhone XR / XS generation also supports dual ingestion).

At the press conference, Apple showed a live demo of four lens shots simultaneously with FiLMiC Pro (currently FiLMiC Pro also Not officially updated).
