Apple announced the prices of the new iPhones and the date of their release in Russia. When will the new iPhones (2018) come out? When the iPhone is the new iPhone

Hello everyone! A new iPhone model comes out every year and Apple strictly adheres to this rule. However, “once a year” is too vague a wording, isn't it? Therefore, I propose today to find out the exact release date of absolutely all existing iPhone models. Collect, so to speak, all these numbers in one place.

What for? Firstly, it is always curious to track how much time passes from the moment of presentation to the moment of the start of sales in Russia and the world. Secondly, such a cheat sheet can be useful to many (to me, as the author of a blog about Apple, for sure :)). Third, why not? Content, in my opinion, is useful - let it be. Go!

For a clearer understanding, all information is presented in the table. A little clarification:

• Start date of sales in the world - the "world" means the countries of the so-called "first wave" (USA, European countries, etc.)
• The start date of sales in Russia is the start of sales of certified (PCT) iPhones.
• iPhone 2G was not sold "legally" in Russia, and the 3G model became the first official iPhone in Russia (more on this in more detail).

As you can see, the increase in Apple's loyalty to our country can be traced very well. The timing of the appearance of gadgets in Russia, in comparison with the world start of sales, has been decreasing every year. And by the time the “six” reached their climax. The difference was only a week!

For comparison - the official iPhone 3GS appeared in Russia after almost 9 months! At this time, the whole world was already waiting for the "four" :)

And my opinion is that everything went to ensure that this year Russia was included in the list of those countries where Apple devices appear first. However, this did not happen and we all know why:

• The volatility of the dollar.
• Great prices.
• Low buying activity.

Well, wait and see, and perhaps, for the iPhone 7th model, a row with two identical numbers in the last two columns will be added to the table above :)

Updated! Well, with regards to the iPhone 7, miracles certainly did not happen, but Russia still got into the "second wave" of sales. In Russia, a brand new smartphone from Apple will appear just a week later than in the countries of the "first wave". And this is very good! After all, the point is that, starting with the iPhone 7S, our country should be among those who receive it the very first.

Updated 2! Preliminary data (which is known immediately after the presentation) on the release of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X have been added to the table. At the moment, opinions differ only on the G8 - will Russia be among the countries of the "first wave"? Or iPhone 8 sales in Russia will start a week later than worldwide? Let's wait for more accurate information ... Wait. Still, a week later. But Russia got into the "first wave" of iPhone X sales - it's very cool!

Updated 3! The date of the release of the iPhone XS and iPhone XR has been added to the plate. As for the most advanced iPhone XS, Russia is once again in the "second wave of sales." The novelty will be delivered to the Russian Federation a week later than to the countries of the "first wave". It's okay, we'll survive somehow :) But sales of the iPhone XR in Russia begin simultaneously with the rest of the world - on October 26, 2018. Normul!

Updated 4! Added release date for iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Well ... we can all be congratulated! Now, in order to be among the very first to buy a new iPhone, a Russian lover of "apples" does not have to travel to another country. The official sales of the iPhone 11 in Russia will start simultaneously with the rest of the world. Hurray, comrades! :)

Yes, Apple will forgive me, but buying an iPhone now is an extremely reckless business. And all because very soon a new generation of iPhone 2018 will be released, or rather, three new devices at once. Along with their release, prices for devices already on sale will fall. But when exactly will the new iPhones come out? What kind of models are waiting for us? How much will they cost? Let's figure out all the nuances right now.

As it was before?

Before putting together my own forecast, I propose to recall the previous generations of the iPhone.

So, the iPhone 6 was presented on September 9, 2014 (Tuesday). And the device went on sale a week and a half later - on September 19. Literally the next day, I did, thereby laying the foundation for our good tradition of publishing reviews of new iPhones among the first in Russia.

iPhone 6S was shown to the world exactly one year later - September 9, 2015 (Wednesday). This is the only key model of the "apple" smartphone that we missed at the start of sales. But after a while, they made, perhaps, the very two generations of the iPhone: 6 and 6S.

iPhone 7 - one of the most successful models of the last five years for the company. There hasn't been such a balanced smartphone since the days of the super popular four.

In any case, the device was unveiled on Wednesday, September 7, 2016. And the device went on sale on September 16. A smart smartphone that has not lost its relevance today! And this is for our review, published in the early morning of September 17 - the day after the start of sales of the seven.

The iPhone 8 release date has shifted a few days - September 12, 2017 (Tuesday). And the eight hit the world sale already on the 22nd of the same month. By the way, this time I published on the same day.

When will the new iPhone be released in 2018?

Based on the experience of previous years, we can safely assume that this September Apple will hold a presentation on either September 11 or 12. It was not by chance that I indicated the days of the week above, since this is a fundamental moment for the date of the event. IPhone launches are always on Tuesday or Wednesday.

In addition, the new iPhones will definitely not be shown on September 4 or 5, because they were never introduced so early. And to announce the launch on the 18th or 19th is too delayed with their release. Therefore, we have decided on the release dates for the new iPhones.

When will the new iPhones go on sale?

Definitely it will be Friday. This has always been and will be with Apple products. And given the release date (September 11 or 12), the start of sales of the iPhone 2018 will be scheduled for September 21.

There are no preconditions for the situation to change in comparison with previous years.

IPhone 2018 release date in Russia

The most interesting and burning moment for us. Hurry up and take the gray version from abroad and with a significant overpayment? Or wait a week or two and take the official version? Let's try to answer these questions as well.

So, the start of sales of the iPhone 6 in Russia took place very soon after the start of sales in the countries of the first wave - September 26, 2014, that is, literally a week later. This hit the pockets of dealers, who hoped to make money on the resale of the first iPhones imported into the Russian Federation. People preferred to wait a week and buy official devices. By the way, then the iPhone costs 31,990 rubles. New, 16 GB - all the cases. Pain (in every sense), you must agree.

The release date of the iPhone 6S in Russia took place on October 9, 2015, or two weeks after the start of sales in the world (September 25).

Officially, the residents of Russia were able to buy the iPhone 7 the very next day after the start of global sales - that is, on September 23, 2016. Thus, the company dealt an unprecedented blow to Gorbushka and Savka.

Our release date happened on September 29, 2017 - a week after the global release of the eights to the market.

From here we make a forecast that the start of sales of the 2018 iPhone will begin in Russia either on September 28 or October 5. Considering Apple's well-established logistics, I think we'll bet on the last Friday of September.

What iPhones will be released in September 2018?

This is perhaps the most difficult question. The internet is full of the most controversial rumors, but one thing is for sure.

We are waiting for at least two models of new iPhones: one larger, the other smaller. Most likely, both will be frameless, in spirit. The younger one will receive one rear camera, and the older one has a huge AMOLED display and two rear cameras.

Personally, I think that it will update the processor, get a number of new chips and take an intermediate place among these two new products.

What are the prices?

We have decided on the models, now let's look at the price list of the expected new products:

• iPhone 9 - $ 699 / € 799 / 58,990 rubles
• iPhone X 2018 - $ 999 / € 1149 / 79,990 rubles
• iPhone X Plus - $ 1149 / € 1319 / 98,990 rubles

Of course, this is just my forecast based only on my personal opinion and experience. You shouldn't take it at face value. As a guide, please.

The release of a new generation always brings down the cost of devices already on sale. It will happen this time too. These are the official prices that we expect to see at the end of September:

• iPhone 8 - $ 549 / € 629 / 45,990 rubles
• iPhone 8 Plus $ 669 / € 769 / 54,990 rubles
• iPhone 7 - $ 449 / € 519 / 35,990 rubles
• iPhone 7 Plus - $ 549 / € 629 / 43,990 rubles

It is clear that the iPhone 6S will disappear from the company's website. However, it will remain on sale in a number of countries, including ours. If now it costs 32 thousand, then we expect its price to drop to 25-26 thousand rubles. Of course, there will be a bunch of places where a six-eska will cost even less - in the region of twenty thousand, that is, exactly the same amount as you can now take a "ref" (restored).

By the way, we will soon see an increase in VAT, so from the beginning of 2019, the indicated approximate prices will grow even more from 2 to 10% - it all depends on, how to put it mildly, on the market situation. So keep in mind, if you buy an iPhone 2018, then only until the new year. Unless, of course, Apple decides to include the updated VAT in the cost of its smartphones in advance.

Where to buy the new iPhones 2018?

As always, the top iPhone prices are in the US. Especially considering the states, which do not levy sales tax. However, in the first month it will be difficult to buy an iPhone without a contract, so this is not an option.

In Europe, prices are expectedly higher, and, moreover, significantly. If all smartphone manufacturers in the world use the same numbers in both America and Europe, but different currencies. That Apple for Europeans noticeably increases prices.

A prime example is cost. In the United States, it will cost $ 699, and in Germany it is already 799 and not dollars, but euros. By the way, in other EU countries (Spain, France) the price is even higher - € 809.

So in Europe, the "cheapest" country is Germany. And keep in mind that now it will not be possible to return the taxfree so easily. In the store, you need to ask to knock out a special check, while in Germany, call the German technical support Apple, ask to send you a special form by e-mail, which will need to be printed out and already with it go to the customs border at the airport in Germany. There it will be possible to choose how to receive money: to a card within two weeks or to make a refund on the spot in cash, but lose a little in the amount. Such is the headache.

Outcome

Let's repeat everything that we learned today to consolidate the result.

The 2018 iPhone presentation will take place on either September 11 or 12. The start of sales in the countries of the first wave by 95% will take place on September 21. In Russia, new iPhones can be bought either on September 28 or October 5.

As for me, there will be three models in total. An updated iPhone X, because the device lays golden eggs, so it is extremely stupid to take it off the market. And fools certainly don't work for Apple. In addition, the company never changes production chassis once a year. Two or three - maybe. Therefore, we are definitely waiting for a new X for the same cost - from 80 thousand rubles.

In addition, a successor to the iPhone 8 will be presented. Perhaps it will be called the iPhone 9. And most likely, it will receive a compact screen, but frameless. I'm sure you shouldn't expect a price below 59 thousand rubles apiece.

With the third smartphone, everything is complicated. Either it will be the iPhone 9 Plus with a frameless, huge screen, but weaker than the iPhone X 2018. Or we will see the new flagship of the company - the iPhone X Plus - a hefty and extremely expensive device. In this case, the price tag for it will start at 98 thousand rubles.

What do you think? Looking for new iPhones? And if so, which one will you take?

An honest and detailed review of the iPhone 11 Pro.

iPhone 11 Pro is the best smartphone on the planet right now... I made this conclusion after spending two weeks with the novelty. I studied it closely, tested it in various conditions, and, of course, paid special attention to the camera. However, the iPhone 11 Pro has some downsides. One of them basically kills the desire to buy a smartphone. Covered everything in a detailed and honest review of the iPhone 11 Pro.

Where to Buy iPhone 11 Pro at the Best Price

Quite unexpectedly, there are already promotions for the purchase of the iPhone 11 Pro!

In "Beeline" purchase of iPhone 11 Pro is available on terms of interest-free installments. You can also get an additional discount when purchasing a smartphone through the trade-in program.

5. The buttons in the iPhone 11 Pro dropped a little lower... All at once, taking the SIM card slot for the company. Only some Apple fanatic would say that this has improved usability. In sober practice, there is no difference with the iPhone XS / X.

6. New body color... iPhone 11 Pro came out in a new dark green color, in which the smartphone and poses in the pictures in the review.

7. A secret change that few people noticed. 11 Pro buttons have a different click sound... The clicking has become more pronounced and distinct.

8. Dimensions and weight. The iPhone 11 Pro is thicker and heavier than the iPhone XS:

• iPhone XS: 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7mm, 177g
• iPhone 11 Pro: 144 x 71.4 x 8.1mm, 188g

With "maxes" the same picture:

• iPhone XS Max: 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7mm, 208g.
• iPhone 11 Pro Max: 158 x 77.8 x 8.1mm, 226g.

The difference in size is hardly noticeable. The thickness is already more noticeable. You can feel these 0.4 mm directly with your hand, but only if you have previously used the iPhone XS without a case. I asked friends for an opinion on the thickness of the new iPhone. They say that " slightly thick". No particular negativity.

With weight, a completely different conversation. The iPhone 11 Pro scored 11 grams over the iPhone XS. And 11 Pro Max in general seemed to have been "in the village with my grandmother." Plus a whopping 18 grams.

These are the heaviest iPhones in history.... And their weightiness is obvious. Moving to the 11 Pro from the XS, the weight gain seems normal. But when you first pick up the 11 Pro after some "seven" with its 138 grams, at first it becomes uncomfortable. Of course, you can get used to it. This is nothing complicated.

I won't say that a lot of weight is a minus of the new iPhones. This is the trend. Every year smartphones are overgrown with an increasing number of modules and boards, which makes it difficult to become easier.

And that's assuming Apple tries its best to make iPhones lightweight. Just look at the new iPhone 11 Pro motherboard.

And if it's short ?! The triple camera and dark green color are what makes the iPhone 11 Pro stand out from other iPhones. Is this not enough? Absolutely not! The camera really focuses on itself. Dozens of times I caught people's glances when I took out my smartphone to take a picture. Of course, they were not looking at me. The unusual triple camera instantly grabs the eye, especially for those in the know.

Frosted glass. Nice to fingers and eyes

The main design change for the iPhone 11 Pro is rear frosted glass... First of all, it looks different. The glass is less reflective and hardly picks up fingerprints. It always looks neat, you don't need to wipe it endlessly.

But the biggest difference is in the tactile feel of the glass. If you iron the case with your finger, it glides directly over the matte surface of the case. Does not get stuck, as is the case with glossy glass. The paradox is that the iPhone 11 Pro with a matte body is more confident in the hand and does not slip out.

Frosted glass madly liked... When you hold a smartphone in your hand, you feel its novelty. A year ago, when I first touched the iPhone XS after the iPhone X, there was nothing like this. The design update was as boring as possible.

The iPhone 11 Pro has the same design (keep loops in mind). But due to the frosted glass, there is a feeling of a novelty. For me, this is a very important indicator, especially for those who plan to switch to a smartphone from the iPhone 8/8 Plus and other newer models with glass bodies.

And if it's short ?! Frosted glass - top! Looks cool and does not collect prints, it slips less in the hand.

New dark green color. Discreet, stylish, in the spirit of Apple

iPhone 11 Pro is available in four colors: classic space gray and silver, slightly tweaked gold and an all-new dark green, aka Midnight Green. As soon as I saw the colors, I immediately understood - I take green!

Apple has created a stunning color, one might say premium. It is not striking, but it looks stylish and modern. Not too bright, but not dull, either. The designers have found a middle ground. If the green color was a little brighter, it would already be a bias in some kind of childishness. But there is nothing of the kind, after all, this is a Pro-iPhone.

By the way, buying the iPhone 11 Pro in green turned out to be a real problem. I never expected a shortage of such expensive iPhones, so I was in no hurry to buy among the first. And in vain.

I stopped by a couple of days later to buy a dark green iPhone 11 Pro with 64 GB of storage, and it ran out. In one store, second, third. Traveled about ten stores in the center of Moscow. And when patience was running out, the store ended up with one, the last, iPhone 11 Pro with the necessary memory and color.

And if it's short ?! Design conversation is always subjective. But I really liked the dark green color of the new iPhone. Looks fresh and Apple-style.

Equipment. Finally, normal charging!

Friends, it happened... In 2019, when at the price of flagship smartphones it became possible to purchase a trip to Goa or a good car, Apple has put a normal charger in the box with the iPhone.

The 5W adapter is a thing of the past. It was replaced by a modern (almost) 18W charger! I was honestly glad when I unpacked my smartphone and saw this adapter. A smile appeared on her face. After all, here it is, the change of generations!

Moreover, the adapter itself is far from a novelty. Apple has been selling it in its online store for several years, I must say for a very decent price.

So, if you buy an iPhone 11 Pro for your last hard-earned money, you will not have to intercept before payday to purchase a normal charging adapter. It will turn out "out of the box" to charge the smartphone quickly.

Oh yeah, the USB-C to Lightning cable required for this charging is included. I'll clarify just in case, because we're talking about Apple. This one could have sent for a cable to a nearby store.

And if it's short ?!"Fast" charging "out of the box". Better late than never.

Display. Brighter and more contrast - and this is noticeable without a microscope

Apple loves to release a new iPhone with descriptions like "the screen is juicier, brighter and cooler!" After the purchase, you look at the smartphone screen and do not understand where it is cooler?

In the case of the iPhone 11 Pro, a different story. Let's start with the numbers.

The device is equipped with a Super Retina XDR display with a resolution of 2436 × 1125 pixels (458 ppi). The contrast of the screen is 2 000 000:1 which is twice the size of the iPhone XS.

Display brightness in normal operation - 800 cd / m²... If you watch content in HDR format, then it increases to record 1200 cd / m². The iPhone XS has a more modest screen brightness in any mode - 625 cd / m².

The brightness and contrast are greater, but is it noticeable when using a smartphone in everyday life? Even before buying an iPhone, the thought crept in that there might not be a difference. But it turned out that there is room for improvement.

Had seen huge difference between the screens of the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone XS in comparison, taking both smartphones in hand. First I checked at home, under artificial lighting. On the main screen with the splash screen and icons, everything seemed the same.

But it was worth launching Safari and opening our site there, the difference literally caught my eye. The iPhone 11 Pro screen is 20% brighter! Against its background, the display of the iPhone XS appeared dull... But a year ago he could only be admired.

They finished me off with a video from YouTube. Due to the increased brightness and contrast, the colors in the videos began to look more saturated.

When I went outside, the effect of the increased brightness was confirmed. The iPhone 11 Pro's screen makes it easier for you to view content, even if the direct rays of the sun are falling on it. Not to say that the iPhone XS display suddenly "turned into a pumpkin." No, he's cool. But the refreshed iPhone 11 Pro display is cooler.

And if it's short ?! The iPhone 11 Pro display is actually the best of all iPhones. Doubled contrast and increased brightness decide. It's comfortable to watch content of any kind outdoors on a sunny day, YouTube videos become juicier.

And the screen turns on quickly

Either because of the A13 processor, or just such an optimization, but the display in the iPhone 11 Pro instantly responds to a touch or press of the side power button. Compared with iPhone XS, the difference is visible to the naked eye. 11 Pro is faster by a few fractions of a second.

It would seem a trifle... But the screen "wakes up" faster, and the unlock using Face ID is faster, which, in turn, has also become faster.

The most valuable resource is time. And all these improvements save him. Alas, hardly anyone can calculate how many minutes or hours these changes will save in the iPhone 11 Pro compared to the iPhone XS, for example, in a year. I’m sure that for a few hours it’s so accurate.

The speed of work. So fast it's boring

IPhone 11 Pro comes with the latest A13 Bionic processor.

Let's deal with the numbers right away, for amateurs:

1. Process technology 7nm N7 Pro(using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV)).
2.6 cores... 2 productive - 2.65 GHz, 4 energy efficient - the frequency is unknown.
3. 40% faster than the A12.
4.4 graphics cores... 20% faster than the A12.
5. 8.5 billion transistors... 23% more than in the A12.
6. Machine learning system 3rd Generation Neural Engine... 20% faster and uses 15% less energy.

In general, the chip “ faster, higher, stronger". But is there any difference in speed with the iPhone XS?

Honestly, I tried to discern the differences when performing common tasks. There are none, and that's it! Any movement on the interface, launching VK, YouTube, Instagram, Safari, any other ordinary applications - all this happens at the same speed.

And that's not a problem with the iPhone 11 Pro. It's just that Apple has hit the ceiling for live performance. Any Instagram launches in a split second. How much faster?

However, the iPhone 11 Pro is still faster. I noticed this in games. All heavy games load faster. In some cases for 5-6 seconds, in most cases for 1-2 seconds.

I agree not impressive... But there are several good reasons why the iPhone 11 Pro has a new processor. You can't argue with them.

1. Energy efficiency... Due to the fact that the chip "eats" less, the smartphone works much longer. Let's talk about autonomy separately, it's very interesting there.

2. Unique Deep Fusion Shooting Mode... The A13 processor and 3rd generation Neural Engine make this innovative mode a reality. Many photos using it will be below. You will be surprised.

3. Night shooting mode... And it, too, has become real on the iPhone thanks to the new processor. There is a "dump of the head" at all.

It would be possible to make such modes on old processors? An extremely interesting question, you must agree. Apple itself says no, you can't, only on new iPhones, buy please! Third-party developers who could open the veil of secrecy remain silent. A real secret, the answer to which we are unlikely to find out in the coming years.

In synthetic benchmarks, the iPhone 11 Pro is unmatched. Rate the difference.

Geekbench 4

• iPhone 11 Pro - 5472/13095 points in single-core and multi-core modes.
• iPhone XS - 4786/11052 points.

Geekbench 5

• iPhone 11 Pro - 1336/3523 points in single-core and multi-core modes.
• iPhone XS - 1111/2322 points.

Metal (graphical benchmark)

• iPhone 11 Pro - 29,025 points
• iPhone XS - 20968 points

iPhone 11 Pro is the fastest smartphone in the world... He took that title from the iPhone XS. And, most likely, it will hold on until the release of iPhone 12. This happens with new iPhones every year.

And if it's short ?! IPhone 11 Pro is incredibly fast. But this is not very impressive, since we hit the performance ceiling. Regardless, the A13 Bionic chip is an innovation. Thanks to him, such shooting modes appeared on the smartphone, from which the hair stands on end. You will see it later. And, of course, the battery life. The chip is very energy efficient, which makes the iPhone 11 Pro last longer.

The memory is gone. And it is necessary?

The amount of RAM and internal storage in the iPhone 11 Pro has not changed compared to the iPhone XS. The amount of RAM is 4 GB, ROM is 64, 256 or 512 GB. The same goes for the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I think that no problem with that... There was no more memory, but was there any serious need for it? Launching an iPhone with a terabyte of storage? For whom?

More RAM? Applications and even weighty games are stored in the RAM of the iPhone 11 Pro running for almost whole days. 8, 10, 12 GB of RAM is not for the iPhone. At least for now. There is absolutely no need for them. Let Chinese manufacturers indulge in gigabytes, they are more needed there.

The only adequate claim I have heard is the base memory size. Many people say that 64 GB in 2019 on a smartphone is a laughing matter. Personally, I disagree. These 64 GB are enough for the eyes.

Here is a real life example. During the first days of testing, I took a couple of thousand photos and shot several dozen videos with 4K resolution. The materials took about 15 GB in memory, which I then freed up in 10 minutes by sending photos and videos to my computer.

And if it's short ?! The memory is no more and is not needed. Everything with memory is fine.

Face ID. There are major improvements, but not ideal

Face ID speed has been increased by 30%, and the scanner has learned to identify the owner's face from a large number of angles. That's what Apple says.

What's in reality? Yes, Face ID on iPhone 11 Pro is faster. It was not possible to measure by 30% or only by 20%. This is hardly possible without the use of special equipment and a small team of scientists. But the acceleration is there, you can see it when comparing the 11 Pro and XS side-by-side.

The updated Face ID feature actually recognizes faces from more angles. Slightly moved the iPhone to the left, right, or even up / down, the scanner seems to "reach out" and successfully identifies you.

But the Face ID response range remains the same. At arm's length, both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone XS do not find a face. In other words, range is a marketing ploy.

I've never had any complaints about the stability of Face ID. Moreover, I think ( and I'm trying to prove to everyone) that Face ID is many times better than the outdated Touch ID and all finger scanners in principle. Therefore, I did not notice any sharp increase in the stability of Face ID in the iPhone 11 Pro.

The improved scanner may still fail to find my face "right in front of its face". But only the first time. Re-request for scanning - boom, blocking is removed. This was in the iPhone X, in the iPhone XS and remained in the iPhone 11 Pro.

And if it's short ?! Face ID in iPhone 11 Pro detects faces at more specific angles. This is a nice bonus. But there is no "wow effect" from the updated scanner.

Battery life. It's corny RESPECT

Everything in the world is cyclical... 7-8 years ago, we laughed at Android smartphone users who stayed at their plugs. 4-5 years ago, on the contrary, everyone laughed at iPhone users and their batteries up to 2000 mAh. Now iPhone fans are back on top.

iPhone 11 Pro - a real long-liver... It is equipped with a battery capacity 3046 mAh which allows the smartphone to work up to 24 hours (!) in the talk mode, subject to the use of a headset. This is the official information from Apple.

I didn’t speak on the phone for 24 hours, but I used my smartphone actively. Even in the early days, when I was constantly shooting, testing new modes, just testing various applications and looking for unusual settings, the iPhone 11 Pro did not run out completely. Only at the end of the first day, the charge remained at 15%. On the following days from 30% and more.

In recent days, when I already use my smartphone in everyday mode, by the evening sometimes more than 50% of the charge remains.

And if it's short ?! Battery life is super! Only gamers who, for some reason, play far from the outlet, will be able to discharge the smartphone in a day.

Sound. Surround now and easy to hear

The stereo speakers in the iPhone 11 Pro have been improved. There are two changes to be aware of at once. First, the speakers received an updated sound with imitation of surround sound. 3D sound can also be heard when listening to music. Moreover, it is not necessary to download songs in any special format for this.

The surround sound of the iPhone 11 Pro's speakers results in increased dynamic range and more perceptible transitions between tones. You can clearly understand what the difference is by directly comparing the sound with the iPhone XS. The sound of the latter is downright "flat". Older iPhones do the same, respectively.

The second change was not noticed by everyone. When you listen to music on the iPhone XS, the treble comes only from the top of the smartphone. No other way. In the iPhone 11 Pro, the treble is better balanced. They come out both above and below the smartphone.

And if it's short ?! The sound is more spacious and the treble is balanced between the stereo speakers. And all this is easy to hear. You don't need to be a music lover for this.

See our iPhone 11 Pro in-depth camera review... Many examples of photos and videos.

Go, the most interesting part! The new iPhone 11 Pro features a three-camera system:

• 12MP Ultra Wide Angle with 120 ° FOV (ƒ / 2.4 aperture),
• 12MP wide-angle (ƒ / 1.8 aperture),
• 12-megapixel telephoto camera (ƒ / 2.0 aperture) with OIS.

Compared to its predecessors, the smartphone has an ultra-wide-angle camera. Televik received a new lens with a magnified by 40% aperture and support for optical image stabilization. What does it mean? And what the iPhone 11 Pro can shoot:

• with a wide angle,
• with an ultra-wide angle,
• regular photos with greatly improved quality.

We add to this new unique shooting modes. Night mode, which allows you to release the shutter in complete darkness and get an adequate picture; and the regime Deep fusion that enhances photographs under artificial lighting with a completely unique technique.

Let's see how the iPhone 11 Pro can shoot... All pictures are clickable - click and see the originals.

Photo on iPhone 11 Pro. Daytime shooting

We start by taking pictures in excellent daylight. Above is an example of a telephoto shot. The camera handled such a complex shot wonderfully. Pay attention to the detail ... anywhere! Foliage of trees, domes, background. All objects have excellent detail. I draw a conclusion looking ahead. In excellent natural light (a sunny day outside), iPhone 11 Pro will take stunning photos. The best iPhone.

The same frame on a wide angle lens. The frame is noticeably expanded... In addition to the temple, a road, nearby houses and other objects fell into it. What is the quality? There are no complaints about the detailing of the temple and the objects located relatively close. But in the corners of the picture, the detail has dropped noticeably. But, of course, for this you need to zoom in on the image on the computer. Just like that, in general terms, the drop in detail is not noticeable.

Bam! These are the photos taken by the iPhone 11 Pro using an ultra-wide-angle lens. And no, I didn’t run 15 meters away from the subject. I stood still, just switched modes. Everything got into the frame. When viewed in normal mode, it looks great. If you specifically bring it closer, then defects are visible, without which no super-wide photo can do. Buildings, lights and people around the edges of the frame squinted, is relatively insignificant.

One more example.

I said about detailing, now I want to pay attention to color rendition. Apple keeps its brand. The colors in all the pictures are real... There is no artificial processing, which is especially clearly seen in the photographs of the temple. Take a similar photo with a Chinese camera. There, in most cases, you will get an image like from a children's coloring.

The same applies to pictures taken with wide-angle cameras. The colors are identical everywhere, even if you check with a pipette.

In other words, Apple is doing great again. The company wanted to spit on those who say that, they say, the "Chinese" pictures are brighter. Yes, bright, but not real... If I want to make my photos artificially bright, then I will use filters. The rest of the time you need the camera to take honest photos. The iPhone 11 Pro does just that.

Another good example of camera honesty. In this shot, the sun's rays illuminated the temple, it became brighter. This is how the camera captured him. The example clearly shows that the iPhone does not take "dim" pictures. He films reality.

What happens to the photo when the lighting gets worse? The camera does its job perfectly. Here are some illustrative examples. In the photo above, notice the detail throughout the entire frame. It is clear from the front - everything is fine. But look into the background, especially the domes - the subject itself. They are remarkably detailed, even on closer inspection. The building on the right, which is not useful in the frame, also worked out great. But this is so, for show.

And one more example. In this picture, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there are still defects at the edges of the picture in low light. After all, Apple is not engaged in magic, it is far from the absolute ideal.

Photo on iPhone 11 Pro. Morning shooting

The camera impressed me so much that I wanted to thoroughly test it in the early morning. And it was not in vain. Photos turned out fresh, like that very morning.

6:45 am, Moscow City. Snapshots with the Deep Fusion mode enabled, which appeared in. Saturated colors, gorgeous detailing throughout the frame, the absence of even a barely visible noise reduction. Cool shots on the first shutter release. And do not care that the illumination is not enough.

Similar footage from the same location.

I advise you to open the source and study any of the pictures in detail. You can clearly see that there really are no serious defects in the frame. And this is provided that the lighting is poor.

But let's not be fanatic. No light - no sight... This photo was taken at 6:30 am. The trees obscured the rising sun, causing the detail to drop. And lo and behold! The work of the noise control is visible at the edges of the frame. Bring the latest Huawei here, changing to iPhone! A joke, of course. Obviously, “tasty” shots will not work without normal lighting.

« Or will it work?“- I asked myself when I went out to shoot the next day at six in the morning. These photos were taken at 6:15 am, in Deep Fusion mode.

You can find fault here, but I will not. The pictures turned out to be great, they are pleasant to look at. And let the work of the noise control be clearly visible on the left in the frame, all these are trifles. You can also shoot with the iPhone 11 Pro in the early morning. It will be cool.

And if it's short ?! The pictures in the afternoon, in the evening and even in the early morning are wonderful! You can shoot from a super wide angle, but just as importantly, regular photos are better.

Night shooting mode. The moment when you realize that it was not in vain that you spent 100 thousand on a smartphone

If for some reason you are reading the review while standing, have a seat... IPhone 11 Pro's new Night Mode can make your head spin. I'm serious.

Night mode is a key camera innovation in the iPhone 11 Pro... It radically changes the understanding of what can be taken with an iPhone and what is not. The example above describes the night mode best.

This photo was taken at night.... When I looked at the painting in front of me, I was sure it would be a terrible photo. These are usually removed instantly. This is a long-standing habit that has been left over from all old smartphones. You think: " It is dark in front of me, a normal picture will not work».

But the iPhone 11 Pro and its Night Mode change everything. Now I can point my smartphone camera at a dimly lit object in the middle of the night and get a mini-masterpiece. It is this understanding that is changing. After all, you suddenly realize that you can take a photo in such conditions, in which you had not even thought about taking a photo before.

Okay, more examples. Yes, there are defects, that's understandable. But I like this shot. And especially how the iPhone captured the stars. How are they here in the subject! The perfect complement to the shot.

I will criticize this example. The foreground is completely dark, nothing is visible... The photo is not about him, but you always want more.

Most impressively, Night Mode can be used for general shots. By the way, very few people talked about this. All of the night mode shots from Apple itself or reviewers captured objects near the camera. Even then, I wondered if the iPhone 11 Pro can take equally cool photos of general plans. Our own practice has proved that it can.

A couple more great examples of how night mode works. Again, look up to the sky. The stars are visible - this is a very cool feature.

Of course, even the night mode needs light. If you shoot in complete darkness, then the night mode will pull something out here, but the masterpiece will not work.

How is this possible? The wide-angle sensor is used in conjunction with the A13 Bionic processor using a specially thought-out system. First, the camera takes a series of shots. We do not notice this, since only a second passes, but the camera manages to take enough pictures.

Then the processor is connected. It uses Apple algorithms to align the captured images. This process allows for distortion elimination.

Next, there is a contrast adjustment, color correction and noise elimination. Have you noticed that the noise reduction is practically invisible in the pictures in the night mode? So this is all thanks to a special algorithm.

And if it's short ?! Night mode changes the general understanding of what can and cannot be photographed. If before I never took out my iPhone for filming after eight in the evening, now I can take a great shot even late at night.

Video recording. Traditional quality, but still noises at night

Note: All videos are available in 4K resolution at 60fps.

Morning video on iPhone 11 Pro

As I wrote earlier, I tested the camera even in the early morning. The lack of illumination does not affect the quality of video recording in any way. Pay attention to the sample above. Detail, color reproduction and smoothness of camera movement are all excellent.

Daytime video recording on iPhone 11 Pro

A small sample that clearly demonstrates the capabilities of the iPhone 11 Pro for shooting during the day in low natural light. The video does not show any defects.

The zoom, first optical, and then digital, works out perfectly. The camera practically does not shake when approaching. It is important to note here that I shot everything handheld. It should be better with a tripod.

I like this sample the most. It clearly shows how the iPhone 11 Pro's camera captures many small objects spread across the frame. And all this is in motion.

The sample demonstrates how the iPhone 11 Pro records many moving objects in a single frame. There are no visible problems.

Night video on iPhone 11 Pro

Night shooting on iPhone 11 Pro has the same problems as its predecessors. The work of the shumodav is visible quite strongly. Yes, technologies do not yet allow to completely eliminate defects. But progress is needed. Let's wait in iPhone 12.

And two more samples with the same meaning. With artificial lighting at night, normal videos are obtained. But there could be many improvements.

Bottom line. The best smartphone, but the price tag kills all the fun

iPhone 11 Pro is the best smartphone ever released... A proven design with nice tweaks like frosted glass, a powerful processor, unrivaled battery life and an amazing camera in every way. A cool device, for which, alas, you need to pay at least 90 thousand rubles.

And it spoils everything. Yes, if there were a “dollar at 30”, everything would be different. But let's not live in a fantasy world. For most, the iPhone 11 Pro is too expensive when it comes to buying without installments or credit. This is the main disadvantage of the iPhone 11 Pro. The rest of the smartphone is fine.

An honest and detailed review of the iPhone 11 Pro.

iPhone 11 Pro is the best smartphone on the planet right now... I made this conclusion after spending two weeks with the novelty. I studied it closely, tested it in various conditions, and, of course, paid special attention to the camera. However, the iPhone 11 Pro has some downsides. One of them basically kills the desire to buy a smartphone. Covered everything in a detailed and honest review of the iPhone 11 Pro.

Where to Buy iPhone 11 Pro at the Best Price

Quite unexpectedly, there are already promotions for the purchase of the iPhone 11 Pro!

In "Beeline" purchase of iPhone 11 Pro is available on terms of interest-free installments. You can also get an additional discount when purchasing a smartphone through the trade-in program.

5. The buttons in the iPhone 11 Pro dropped a little lower... All at once, taking the SIM card slot for the company. Only some Apple fanatic would say that this has improved usability. In sober practice, there is no difference with the iPhone XS / X.

6. New body color... iPhone 11 Pro came out in a new dark green color, in which the smartphone and poses in the pictures in the review.

7. A secret change that few people noticed. 11 Pro buttons have a different click sound... The clicking has become more pronounced and distinct.

8. Dimensions and weight. The iPhone 11 Pro is thicker and heavier than the iPhone XS:

• iPhone XS: 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7mm, 177g
• iPhone 11 Pro: 144 x 71.4 x 8.1mm, 188g

With "maxes" the same picture:

• iPhone XS Max: 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7mm, 208g.
• iPhone 11 Pro Max: 158 x 77.8 x 8.1mm, 226g.

The difference in size is hardly noticeable. The thickness is already more noticeable. You can feel these 0.4 mm directly with your hand, but only if you have previously used the iPhone XS without a case. I asked friends for an opinion on the thickness of the new iPhone. They say that " slightly thick". No particular negativity.

With weight, a completely different conversation. The iPhone 11 Pro scored 11 grams over the iPhone XS. And 11 Pro Max in general seemed to have been "in the village with my grandmother." Plus a whopping 18 grams.

These are the heaviest iPhones in history.... And their weightiness is obvious. Moving to the 11 Pro from the XS, the weight gain seems normal. But when you first pick up the 11 Pro after some "seven" with its 138 grams, at first it becomes uncomfortable. Of course, you can get used to it. This is nothing complicated.

I won't say that a lot of weight is a minus of the new iPhones. This is the trend. Every year smartphones are overgrown with an increasing number of modules and boards, which makes it difficult to become easier.

And that's assuming Apple tries its best to make iPhones lightweight. Just look at the new iPhone 11 Pro motherboard.

And if it's short ?! The triple camera and dark green color are what makes the iPhone 11 Pro stand out from other iPhones. Is this not enough? Absolutely not! The camera really focuses on itself. Dozens of times I caught people's glances when I took out my smartphone to take a picture. Of course, they were not looking at me. The unusual triple camera instantly grabs the eye, especially for those in the know.

Frosted glass. Nice to fingers and eyes

The main design change for the iPhone 11 Pro is rear frosted glass... First of all, it looks different. The glass is less reflective and hardly picks up fingerprints. It always looks neat, you don't need to wipe it endlessly.

But the biggest difference is in the tactile feel of the glass. If you iron the case with your finger, it glides directly over the matte surface of the case. Does not get stuck, as is the case with glossy glass. The paradox is that the iPhone 11 Pro with a matte body is more confident in the hand and does not slip out.

Frosted glass madly liked... When you hold a smartphone in your hand, you feel its novelty. A year ago, when I first touched the iPhone XS after the iPhone X, there was nothing like this. The design update was as boring as possible.

The iPhone 11 Pro has the same design (keep loops in mind). But due to the frosted glass, there is a feeling of a novelty. For me, this is a very important indicator, especially for those who plan to switch to a smartphone from the iPhone 8/8 Plus and other newer models with glass bodies.

And if it's short ?! Frosted glass - top! Looks cool and does not collect prints, it slips less in the hand.

New dark green color. Discreet, stylish, in the spirit of Apple

iPhone 11 Pro is available in four colors: classic space gray and silver, slightly tweaked gold and an all-new dark green, aka Midnight Green. As soon as I saw the colors, I immediately understood - I take green!

Apple has created a stunning color, one might say premium. It is not striking, but it looks stylish and modern. Not too bright, but not dull, either. The designers have found a middle ground. If the green color was a little brighter, it would already be a bias in some kind of childishness. But there is nothing of the kind, after all, this is a Pro-iPhone.

By the way, buying the iPhone 11 Pro in green turned out to be a real problem. I never expected a shortage of such expensive iPhones, so I was in no hurry to buy among the first. And in vain.

I stopped by a couple of days later to buy a dark green iPhone 11 Pro with 64 GB of storage, and it ran out. In one store, second, third. Traveled about ten stores in the center of Moscow. And when patience was running out, the store ended up with one, the last, iPhone 11 Pro with the necessary memory and color.

And if it's short ?! Design conversation is always subjective. But I really liked the dark green color of the new iPhone. Looks fresh and Apple-style.

Equipment. Finally, normal charging!

Friends, it happened... In 2019, when it became possible to purchase at the price of flagship smartphones, Apple put a normal charge in the box for the iPhone.

The 5W adapter is a thing of the past. It was replaced by a modern (almost) 18W charger! I was honestly glad when I unpacked my smartphone and saw this adapter. A smile appeared on her face. After all, here it is, the change of generations!

Moreover, the adapter itself is far from a novelty. Apple has been selling it in its online store for several years, I must say for a very decent price.

So, if you buy an iPhone 11 Pro for your last hard-earned money, you will not have to intercept before payday to purchase a normal charging adapter. It will turn out "out of the box" to charge the smartphone quickly.

Oh yeah, the USB-C to Lightning cable required for this charging is included. I'll clarify just in case, because we're talking about Apple. This one could have sent for a cable to a nearby store.

And if it's short ?!"Fast" charging "out of the box". Better late than never.

Display. Brighter and more contrast - and this is noticeable without a microscope

Apple loves to release a new iPhone with descriptions like "the screen is juicier, brighter and cooler!" After the purchase, you look at the smartphone screen and do not understand where it is cooler?

In the case of the iPhone 11 Pro, a different story. Let's start with the numbers.

The device is equipped with a Super Retina XDR display with a resolution of 2436 × 1125 pixels (458 ppi). The contrast of the screen is 2 000 000:1 which is twice the size of the iPhone XS.

Display brightness in normal operation - 800 cd / m²... If you watch content in HDR format, then it increases to record 1200 cd / m². The iPhone XS has a more modest screen brightness in any mode - 625 cd / m².

The brightness and contrast are greater, but is it noticeable when using a smartphone in everyday life? Even before buying an iPhone, the thought crept in that there might not be a difference. But it turned out that there is room for improvement.

Had seen huge difference between the screens of the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone XS in comparison, taking both smartphones in hand. First I checked at home, under artificial lighting. On the main screen with the splash screen and icons, everything seemed the same.

But it was worth launching Safari and opening our site there, the difference literally caught my eye. The iPhone 11 Pro screen is 20% brighter! Against its background, the display of the iPhone XS appeared dull... But a year ago he could only be admired.

They finished me off with a video from YouTube. Due to the increased brightness and contrast, the colors in the videos began to look more saturated.

When I went outside, the effect of the increased brightness was confirmed. The iPhone 11 Pro's screen makes it easier for you to view content, even if the direct rays of the sun are falling on it. Not to say that the iPhone XS display suddenly "turned into a pumpkin." No, he's cool. But the refreshed iPhone 11 Pro display is cooler.

And if it's short ?! The iPhone 11 Pro display is actually the best of all iPhones. Doubled contrast and increased brightness decide. It's comfortable to watch content of any kind outdoors on a sunny day, YouTube videos become juicier.

And the screen turns on quickly

Either because of the A13 processor, or just such an optimization, but the display in the iPhone 11 Pro instantly responds to a touch or press of the side power button. Compared with iPhone XS, the difference is visible to the naked eye. 11 Pro is faster by a few fractions of a second.

It would seem a trifle... But the screen "wakes up" faster, and the unlock using Face ID is faster, which, in turn, has also become faster.

The most valuable resource is time. And all these improvements save him. Alas, hardly anyone can calculate how many minutes or hours these changes will save in the iPhone 11 Pro compared to the iPhone XS, for example, in a year. I’m sure that for a few hours it’s so accurate.

The speed of work. So fast it's boring

IPhone 11 Pro comes with the latest A13 Bionic processor.

Let's deal with the numbers right away, for amateurs:

1. Process technology 7nm N7 Pro(using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV)).
2.6 cores... 2 productive - 2.65 GHz, 4 energy efficient - the frequency is unknown.
3. 40% faster than the A12.
4.4 graphics cores... 20% faster than the A12.
5. 8.5 billion transistors... 23% more than in the A12.
6. Machine learning system 3rd Generation Neural Engine... 20% faster and uses 15% less energy.

In general, the chip “ faster, higher, stronger". But is there any difference in speed with the iPhone XS?

Honestly, I tried to discern the differences when performing common tasks. There are none, and that's it! Any movement on the interface, launching VK, YouTube, Instagram, Safari, any other ordinary applications - all this happens at the same speed.

And that's not a problem with the iPhone 11 Pro. It's just that Apple has hit the ceiling for live performance. Any Instagram launches in a split second. How much faster?

However, the iPhone 11 Pro is still faster. I noticed this in games. All heavy games load faster. In some cases for 5-6 seconds, in most cases for 1-2 seconds.

I agree not impressive... But there are several good reasons why the iPhone 11 Pro has a new processor. You can't argue with them.

1. Energy efficiency... Due to the fact that the chip "eats" less, the smartphone works much longer. Let's talk about autonomy separately, it's very interesting there.

2. Unique Deep Fusion Shooting Mode... The A13 processor and 3rd generation Neural Engine make this innovative mode a reality. Many photos using it will be below. You will be surprised.

3. Night shooting mode... And it, too, has become real on the iPhone thanks to the new processor. There is a "dump of the head" at all.

It would be possible to make such modes on old processors? An extremely interesting question, you must agree. Apple itself says no, you can't, only on new iPhones, buy please! Third-party developers who could open the veil of secrecy remain silent. A real secret, the answer to which we are unlikely to find out in the coming years.

In synthetic benchmarks, the iPhone 11 Pro is unmatched. Rate the difference.

Geekbench 4

• iPhone 11 Pro - 5472/13095 points in single-core and multi-core modes.
• iPhone XS - 4786/11052 points.

Geekbench 5

• iPhone 11 Pro - 1336/3523 points in single-core and multi-core modes.
• iPhone XS - 1111/2322 points.

Metal (graphical benchmark)

• iPhone 11 Pro - 29,025 points
• iPhone XS - 20968 points

iPhone 11 Pro is the fastest smartphone in the world... He took that title from the iPhone XS. And, most likely, it will hold on until the release of iPhone 12. This happens with new iPhones every year.

And if it's short ?! IPhone 11 Pro is incredibly fast. But this is not very impressive, since we hit the performance ceiling. Regardless, the A13 Bionic chip is an innovation. Thanks to him, such shooting modes appeared on the smartphone, from which the hair stands on end. You will see it later. And, of course, the battery life. The chip is very energy efficient, which makes the iPhone 11 Pro last longer.

The memory is gone. And it is necessary?

The amount of RAM and internal storage in the iPhone 11 Pro has not changed compared to the iPhone XS. The amount of RAM is 4 GB, ROM is 64, 256 or 512 GB. The same goes for the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I think that no problem with that... There was no more memory, but was there any serious need for it? Launching an iPhone with a terabyte of storage? For whom?

More RAM? Applications and even weighty games are stored in the RAM of the iPhone 11 Pro running for almost whole days. 8, 10, 12 GB of RAM is not for the iPhone. At least for now. There is absolutely no need for them. Let Chinese manufacturers indulge in gigabytes, they are more needed there.

The only adequate claim I have heard is the base memory size. Many people say that 64 GB in 2019 on a smartphone is a laughing matter. Personally, I disagree. These 64 GB are enough for the eyes.

Here is a real life example. During the first days of testing, I took a couple of thousand photos and shot several dozen videos with 4K resolution. The materials took about 15 GB in memory, which I then freed up in 10 minutes by sending photos and videos to my computer.

And if it's short ?! The memory is no more and is not needed. Everything with memory is fine.

Face ID. There are major improvements, but not ideal

Face ID speed has been increased by 30%, and the scanner has learned to identify the owner's face from a large number of angles. That's what Apple says.

What's in reality? Yes, Face ID on iPhone 11 Pro is faster. It was not possible to measure by 30% or only by 20%. This is hardly possible without the use of special equipment and a small team of scientists. But the acceleration is there, you can see it when comparing the 11 Pro and XS side-by-side.

The updated Face ID feature actually recognizes faces from more angles. Slightly moved the iPhone to the left, right, or even up / down, the scanner seems to "reach out" and successfully identifies you.

But the Face ID response range remains the same. At arm's length, both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone XS do not find a face. In other words, range is a marketing ploy.

I've never had any complaints about the stability of Face ID. Moreover, I think ( and I'm trying to prove to everyone) that Face ID is many times better than the outdated Touch ID and all finger scanners in principle. Therefore, I did not notice any sharp increase in the stability of Face ID in the iPhone 11 Pro.

The improved scanner may still fail to find my face "right in front of its face". But only the first time. Re-request for scanning - boom, blocking is removed. This was in the iPhone X, in the iPhone XS and remained in the iPhone 11 Pro.

And if it's short ?! Face ID in iPhone 11 Pro detects faces at more specific angles. This is a nice bonus. But there is no "wow effect" from the updated scanner.

Battery life. It's corny RESPECT

Everything in the world is cyclical... 7-8 years ago, we laughed at Android smartphone users who stayed at their plugs. 4-5 years ago, on the contrary, everyone laughed at iPhone users and their batteries up to 2000 mAh. Now iPhone fans are back on top.

iPhone 11 Pro - a real long-liver... It is equipped with a battery capacity 3046 mAh which allows the smartphone to work up to 24 hours (!) in the talk mode, subject to the use of a headset. This is the official information from Apple.

I didn’t speak on the phone for 24 hours, but I used my smartphone actively. Even in the early days, when I was constantly shooting, testing new modes, just testing various applications and looking for unusual settings, the iPhone 11 Pro did not run out completely. Only at the end of the first day, the charge remained at 15%. On the following days from 30% and more.

In recent days, when I already use my smartphone in everyday mode, by the evening sometimes more than 50% of the charge remains.

And if it's short ?! Battery life is super! Only gamers who, for some reason, play far from the outlet, will be able to discharge the smartphone in a day.

Sound. Surround now and easy to hear

The stereo speakers in the iPhone 11 Pro have been improved. There are two changes to be aware of at once. First, the speakers received an updated sound with imitation of surround sound. 3D sound can also be heard when listening to music. Moreover, it is not necessary to download songs in any special format for this.

The surround sound of the iPhone 11 Pro's speakers results in increased dynamic range and more perceptible transitions between tones. You can clearly understand what the difference is by directly comparing the sound with the iPhone XS. The sound of the latter is downright "flat". Older iPhones do the same, respectively.

The second change was not noticed by everyone. When you listen to music on the iPhone XS, the treble comes only from the top of the smartphone. No other way. In the iPhone 11 Pro, the treble is better balanced. They come out both above and below the smartphone.

And if it's short ?! The sound is more spacious and the treble is balanced between the stereo speakers. And all this is easy to hear. You don't need to be a music lover for this.

See our. Many examples of photos and videos.

Go, the most interesting part! The new iPhone 11 Pro features a three-camera system:

• 12MP Ultra Wide Angle with 120 ° FOV (ƒ / 2.4 aperture),
• 12MP wide-angle (ƒ / 1.8 aperture),
• 12-megapixel telephoto camera (ƒ / 2.0 aperture) with OIS.

Compared to its predecessors, the smartphone has an ultra-wide-angle camera. Televik received a new lens with a magnified by 40% aperture and support for optical image stabilization. What does it mean? And what the iPhone 11 Pro can shoot:

• with a wide angle,
• with an ultra-wide angle,
• regular photos with greatly improved quality.

We add to this new unique shooting modes. Night mode, which allows you to release the shutter in complete darkness and get an adequate picture; and the regime Deep fusion that enhances photographs under artificial lighting with a completely unique technique.

Let's see how the iPhone 11 Pro can shoot... All pictures are clickable - click and see the originals.

Photo on iPhone 11 Pro. Daytime shooting

We start by taking pictures in excellent daylight. Above is an example of a telephoto shot. The camera handled such a complex shot wonderfully. Pay attention to the detail ... anywhere! Foliage of trees, domes, background. All objects have excellent detail. I draw a conclusion looking ahead. In excellent natural light (a sunny day outside), iPhone 11 Pro will take stunning photos. The best iPhone.

The same frame on a wide angle lens. The frame is noticeably expanded... In addition to the temple, a road, nearby houses and other objects fell into it. What is the quality? There are no complaints about the detailing of the temple and the objects located relatively close. But in the corners of the picture, the detail has dropped noticeably. But, of course, for this you need to zoom in on the image on the computer. Just like that, in general terms, the drop in detail is not noticeable.

Bam! These are the photos taken by the iPhone 11 Pro using an ultra-wide-angle lens. And no, I didn’t run 15 meters away from the subject. I stood still, just switched modes. Everything got into the frame. When viewed in normal mode, it looks great. If you specifically bring it closer, then defects are visible, without which no super-wide photo can do. Buildings, lights and people around the edges of the frame squinted, is relatively insignificant.

One more example.

I said about detailing, now I want to pay attention to color rendition. Apple keeps its brand. The colors in all the pictures are real... There is no artificial processing, which is especially clearly seen in the photographs of the temple. Take a similar photo with a Chinese camera. There, in most cases, you will get an image like from a children's coloring.

The same applies to pictures taken with wide-angle cameras. The colors are identical everywhere, even if you check with a pipette.

In other words, Apple is doing great again. The company wanted to spit on those who say that, they say, the "Chinese" pictures are brighter. Yes, bright, but not real... If I want to make my photos artificially bright, then I will use filters. The rest of the time you need the camera to take honest photos. The iPhone 11 Pro does just that.

Another good example of camera honesty. In this shot, the sun's rays illuminated the temple, it became brighter. This is how the camera captured him. The example clearly shows that the iPhone does not take "dim" pictures. He films reality.

What happens to the photo when the lighting gets worse? The camera does its job perfectly. Here are some illustrative examples. In the photo above, notice the detail throughout the entire frame. It is clear from the front - everything is fine. But look into the background, especially the domes - the subject itself. They are remarkably detailed, even on closer inspection. The building on the right, which is not useful in the frame, also worked out great. But this is so, for show.

And one more example. In this picture, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there are still defects at the edges of the picture in low light. After all, Apple is not engaged in magic, it is far from the absolute ideal.

Photo on iPhone 11 Pro. Morning shooting

The camera impressed me so much that I wanted to thoroughly test it in the early morning. And it was not in vain. Photos turned out fresh, like that very morning.

6:45 am, Moscow City. Snapshots with the Deep Fusion mode enabled, which appeared in. Saturated colors, gorgeous detailing throughout the frame, the absence of even a barely visible noise reduction. Cool shots on the first shutter release. And do not care that the illumination is not enough.

Similar footage from the same location.

I advise you to open the source and study any of the pictures in detail. You can clearly see that there really are no serious defects in the frame. And this is provided that the lighting is poor.

But let's not be fanatic. No light - no sight... This photo was taken at 6:30 am. The trees obscured the rising sun, causing the detail to drop. And lo and behold! The work of the noise control is visible at the edges of the frame. Bring the latest Huawei here, changing to iPhone! A joke, of course. Obviously, “tasty” shots will not work without normal lighting.

« Or will it work?“- I asked myself when I went out to shoot the next day at six in the morning. These photos were taken at 6:15 am, in Deep Fusion mode.

You can find fault here, but I will not. The pictures turned out to be great, they are pleasant to look at. And let the work of the noise control be clearly visible on the left in the frame, all these are trifles. You can also shoot with the iPhone 11 Pro in the early morning. It will be cool.

And if it's short ?! The pictures in the afternoon, in the evening and even in the early morning are wonderful! You can shoot from a super wide angle, but just as importantly, regular photos are better.

Night shooting mode. The moment when you realize that it was not in vain that you spent 100 thousand on a smartphone

If for some reason you are reading the review while standing, have a seat... IPhone 11 Pro's new Night Mode can make your head spin. I'm serious.

Night mode is a key camera innovation in the iPhone 11 Pro... It radically changes the understanding of what can be taken with an iPhone and what is not. The example above describes the night mode best.

This photo was taken at night.... When I looked at the painting in front of me, I was sure it would be a terrible photo. These are usually removed instantly. This is a long-standing habit that has been left over from all old smartphones. You think: " It is dark in front of me, a normal picture will not work».

But the iPhone 11 Pro and its Night Mode change everything. Now I can point my smartphone camera at a dimly lit object in the middle of the night and get a mini-masterpiece. It is this understanding that is changing. After all, you suddenly realize that you can take a photo in such conditions, in which you had not even thought about taking a photo before.

Okay, more examples. Yes, there are defects, that's understandable. But I like this shot. And especially how the iPhone captured the stars. How are they here in the subject! The perfect complement to the shot.

I will criticize this example. The foreground is completely dark, nothing is visible... The photo is not about him, but you always want more.

Most impressively, Night Mode can be used for general shots. By the way, very few people talked about this. All of the night mode shots from Apple itself or reviewers captured objects near the camera. Even then, I wondered if the iPhone 11 Pro can take equally cool photos of general plans. Our own practice has proved that it can.

A couple more great examples of how night mode works. Again, look up to the sky. The stars are visible - this is a very cool feature.

Of course, even the night mode needs light. If you shoot in complete darkness, then the night mode will pull something out here, but the masterpiece will not work.

How is this possible? The wide-angle sensor is used in conjunction with the A13 Bionic processor using a specially thought-out system. First, the camera takes a series of shots. We do not notice this, since only a second passes, but the camera manages to take enough pictures.

Then the processor is connected. It uses Apple algorithms to align the captured images. This process allows for distortion elimination.

Next, there is a contrast adjustment, color correction and noise elimination. Have you noticed that the noise reduction is practically invisible in the pictures in the night mode? So this is all thanks to a special algorithm.

And if it's short ?! Night mode changes the general understanding of what can and cannot be photographed. If before I never took out my iPhone for filming after eight in the evening, now I can take a great shot even late at night.

Video recording. Traditional quality, but still noises at night

Note: All videos are available in 4K resolution at 60fps.

Morning video on iPhone 11 Pro

As I wrote earlier, I tested the camera even in the early morning. The lack of illumination does not affect the quality of video recording in any way. Pay attention to the sample above. Detail, color reproduction and smoothness of camera movement are all excellent.

Daytime video recording on iPhone 11 Pro

A small sample that clearly demonstrates the capabilities of the iPhone 11 Pro for shooting during the day in low natural light. The video does not show any defects.

The zoom, first optical, and then digital, works out perfectly. The camera practically does not shake when approaching. It is important to note here that I shot everything handheld. It should be better with a tripod.

I like this sample the most. It clearly shows how the iPhone 11 Pro's camera captures many small objects spread across the frame. And all this is in motion.

The sample demonstrates how the iPhone 11 Pro records many moving objects in a single frame. There are no visible problems.

Night video on iPhone 11 Pro

Night shooting on iPhone 11 Pro has the same problems as its predecessors. The work of the shumodav is visible quite strongly. Yes, technologies do not yet allow to completely eliminate defects. But progress is needed. Let's wait in iPhone 12.

And two more samples with the same meaning. With artificial lighting at night, normal videos are obtained. But there could be many improvements.

Bottom line. The best smartphone, but the price tag kills all the fun

iPhone 11 Pro is the best smartphone ever released... A proven design with nice tweaks like frosted glass, a powerful processor, unrivaled battery life and an amazing camera in every way. A cool device, for which, alas, you need to pay at least 90 thousand rubles.

And it spoils everything. Yes, if there were a “dollar at 30”, everything would be different. But let's not live in a fantasy world. For most, the iPhone 11 Pro is too expensive when it comes to buying without installments or credit. This is the main disadvantage of the iPhone 11 Pro. The rest of the smartphone is fine.

When will the new iPhone come out? What are its characteristics. When will the price of the iPhone XS or XR drop? Is it worth buying a new iPhone now or is it better to wait a bit. In this article, we will answer all your questions.

IPhone 11 at a glance

• iPhone 11 will be released and released in September 2019.
• It will be the first phone to run Apple's latest iOS iOS 13 software.
• It will most likely have a triple camera setup (similar to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30).
• The iPhone 11 is expected to be powered by Apple's new A13 chipset.
• It probably won't be 5G capable.
• The iPhone 11 may have the largest battery ever included in an iPhone.

IPhone 11 Release Date - When Will the Next iPhone Come Out?

On September 12, 2018, Apple introduced not one, but three new iPhones: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, which can now be purchased from Apple. They came out a year after the launch of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

With the launch of new phones, there has been a drop in prices for older models (iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus), and the iPhone X is now completely discontinued, just like the iPhone SE.

Release dates for the last few iPhone models:

• iPhone 5 - September 2012
• iPhone 5S - September 2013
• iPhone 6 - September 2014
• iPhone 6S - September 2015
• iPhone SE - March 2016
• iPhone 7 - September 2016
• iPhone X / iPhone 8 - September 2017
• iPhone XS - September 2018

How often are iPhone updates?

Apple usually waits one year before introducing a new iPhone model. It has become a tradition for Apple to hold an event in September, which showcases new models of phones, and in a couple of weeks they go on sale.

When will the new iPhone be released in 2019 in Russia

The presentation of the iPhone 11 will take place no later than September 12, because the traditional fall event from Apple takes place around this date. The novelty will go on sale not earlier than the end of September - beginning of October. Russia is likely to miss the “first wave” of sales again.

IPhone 11 Price - How Much Will the New iPhone Cost?

The iPhone XS was priced at £ 999 / £ 999 last year, just like the iPhone X that came before it. It would seem worthwhile to assume that the iPhone 11 will cost the same.

Apple will offer the iPhone 11 under undisclosed contracts for 399 (128GB), 499 (256GB), and 599 (512GB) starting September 20, 2019. Pricing without a SIM card has been announced for $ 999 (128GB), $ 1099 (256GB), and $ 1199 (512GB).

The 128GB iPhone 11 Max will retail for $ 1,099, while the 256GB and 512GB models retail for $ 1199 and $ 1299.

iPhone 11 - Design and Display

It looks like the bump on the iPhone 11 will be noticeably larger than the small bumps you'll find on rival Android phones like the Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 Pro.

In terms of the screen technology itself, there is no reason to believe that Apple will deviate from the 5.8- and 6.5-inch screens currently used by the XS and XS Max. We're also unlikely to see the 11-series transition from OLED technology back to LCD.

iPhone 11 - camera

I managed to mine a schematic of a triple camera system on the back of the next Apple phone. This design has already proven controversial due to its boxy, asymmetrical nature.

One of the three lenses will be wide angle. Interestingly, this sensor will allow users to "fix" images after shooting by adding objects that were just out of frame in the first shot.

It would make sense for the new iPhone to have three cameras. Multi-touch cameras have been the mainstream on Android flagships over the past few years, and the systems on the Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 Pro are some of the best, definitely a step up from the iPhone XS and XS Max cameras.

Apparently, the next iPhone may have a 12MP TrueDepth selfie camera capable of recording in slow motion.

iPhone 11 - performance and software

The iPhone 11 will most likely be powered by the A13 processor. When it comes to software, this is the most specific aspect of iPhone 11 functionality that we know about right now.

• Smart Dark Mode includes light and dark versions of the same wallpaper, with the ability to seamlessly transition between them on command or when linked to sunrise and sunset times.
• The entire user interface also becomes darker when the mode is activated.
• Even before you add the upcoming A13 chipset, Apple has promised significant performance improvements thanks to the latest version of iOS.
• Face unlocking will be 30% faster, while baselines like app updates will be reduced by 60%.
• The introduction of Sign In with Apple will also help simplify sign-ups for a variety of third-party and independent services through Face ID integration and anonymous credential features.
• Along with the addition of some new Aniomji characters, Memoji will receive a host of new customizations such as piercings, additional makeup options, hats, and alternate teeth.
• There will be native support for both PlayStation DualShock 4 and Bluetooth-enabled Xbox controllers.

iPhone 11 - Battery Life, USB-C and 5G

The increase in power is planned closer to 5% 3110mAh. This extended power bank will apparently provide two-way Qi wireless charging, so you'll be able to power the new AirPods 2 from the back of your phone.

Last year, Apple switched from Lightning to a full USB-C solution for the iPad Pro, and also standardized on all of its modern MacBooks, Apple won't switch to USB-C in 2019, so save some spare Lightning cables for a while.

The iPhone 11 won't be ready to join a 5G connection. Apple waits until standards for mobile network connectivity are established and aimed at ubiquity before adopting them, as is the case with 3G and 4G.

But the iPhone can benefit from the latest Wi-Fi 802.11 ax, better known as Wi-Fi 6, which quadruples performance in crowded areas and 40% faster data transfer speeds.

When is the best time to buy an iPhone?

The best time to buy an iPhone isn't when a new model comes out - unless you're desperate for the latest hardware. You may be willing to wait a month or two after launch until supplies keep up with demand and any issues with the new phones are identified and fixed.

The good news is that a new iPhone is worth buying within nine months of launch, but in July / August we'd recommend postponing the purchase until fall - unless your current iPhone is broken and lasts for three to four months.

The worst time to buy a new iPhone is in the months leading up to September. So don't buy an iPhone in August unless you want to bitterly regret a bad purchase a month later.

What if I want to buy an old iPhone?

You may think you just want a new phone and don't worry too much about the latest iPhone, why not buy a new iPhone now?

But usually, after the release of a new model, prices for the current generation of iPhones fall. And if you don't need upgrades too much, you can get an even older iPhone, which Apple no longer makes, as mobile phone companies dump those models to sell off the stock.

For example, the iPhone X was discontinued and its price dropped. Take a look at the very best prices for the iPhone X. Alternatively, you can take a closer look at the offerings of the iPhonei 7, iPhonei 7, Phone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus.

Wait for Black Friday in November

Another tip: buy a new iPhone from Apple's Black Friday sale at the end of November. Apple itself does not offer discounts, but will offer an additional gift card. Other retailers will offer discounts on iPhone and iPhone contracts.

Is now a good time to buy a new iPhone?

Now is not the right time to buy a new iPhone. If you are not too keen on the pursuit of the championship, we would not advise buying a new model within a month after launch. Better to postpone the purchase until October / November to see if there are better deals and to make sure there are no problems with the new model.
