Apple iPhone 11, 64GB, Black (Renewed)

Product Information

The results are startling, elevating Apple to the level of Huawei, Samsung and Google when it comes to taking low-light and night photos – and in some ways enabling it to surpass its rivals. Night mode can make photos shot at 1am look as if they were taken in late afternoon, and if you can get your subjects to remain still, you’ll take great snaps. The iPhone 11 is Apple's 2019 budget option. It offers several upgrades over last year's affordable phone, most notably to the processor and the main camera. But the real highlight is the price. It launched at less than 2018's iPhone XR. Of course, it's not Apple's flagship phone. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max share that position, and they are better spec'd. Nonetheless, it offers upgrades over the XR at a lower launch price. Due to the release of the 2019 iPhones, the XR and the iPhone 8 have both dropped in price. iOS 13 has been a moving target, because it's pretty buggy —Apple has already revved it twice since I started researching this review. In my experiences with the three new iPhones, they've frequently crashed and quit applications, but I'm not going to hold that against the hardware. iOS 13.1.1 fixed data signal loss, battery drain, and stability issues; 13.1.2 has even more bug fixes. That's part of the pluses, not the minuses, of having an iPhone —when you have an Android phone, you get used to months, not days, between bug fixes and new feature additions. Wireless Capabilities and Battery This isn’t something we normally do, but we’re going to get right to the simple fact that the iPhone 11 camera is easily the standout feature on this handset. All three of the new iPhones have Apple's A13 processor, which at the moment is the fastest mobile chip available. It's 40 percent faster on the Geekbench multicore benchmark than the iPhone XR, 17 percent faster on web performance, and 50 percent faster in terms of GPU. On Geekbench, it's 30 percent faster than the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ on multi-core performance and 20 percent faster on web performance. This is in part because Apple's and Qualcomm's chip releases are spaced six months apart; Qualcomm will probably catch up early next year. On graphics benchmarks, the iPhone 11 even performs better than its more-expensive siblings because it has fewer pixels on the screen.

In terms of day to day use though, we found the iPhone 11’s screen to be clear, bright and easy to see even outdoors on bright days. It can run up to 625 nits of brightness, according to Apple, and that’s enough for us in most scenarios - blinding if you look at it on full brightness when opening your eyes in the morning. iPhone 11 is splash, water, and dust resistant and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 2 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. One advantage the iPhone 11 has over all non-iPhones in the US, though, is its support for dual SIM with eSIM. iPhones are still the only phones sold by US carriers that you can put two lines on; the first line can be from any carrier, while the secondary line can come from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or a list of roaming and international carriers. This capability, which is popular abroad but up until last year was practically banned in the US, is great for folks trying to keep personal and business lines on their phones.

Versatile Video

In reality that just translates to a solid experience when flipping in and out of apps - although we did note that the speed in firing up the camera was a little slow, and processing pictures took longer than expected for a modern phone. The inbuilt filters, applied at shooting, allow you to decide on the look of the snap before pressing the shutter button. TrueDepth Camera - 12MP Camera, f/2.2 Aperture, Portrait Mode with Advanced Bokeh and Depth Control, Portrait Lighting with Six Effects (Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, High Key Mono), Animoji and Memoji, 4K Video Recording at 24 fps, 30 fps or 60 fps, 1080p HD Video Recording at 30 fps or 60 fps, Slow-motion Video Support for 1080p at 120 fps, Next Generation Smart HDR for Photos, Extended Dynamic Range for Video at 30 fps, Cinematic Video Stabilisation (4K, 1080p and 720p), Wide Colour Capture for Photos and Live Photos, Retina Flash, Auto Image Stabilisation, Burst Mode This is a nice feature that’s going to appeal to those who want to share video clips to social media with ease. You don’t get the same low-light capabilities for video (more on that in a moment), but it’s smooth and defaults to the settings you’ve already set, so you can be shooting high-end 4K footage in a matter of seconds. Apple made a lot of noise about how the iPhone 11 can shoot 4K footage at 60 frames per second (fps), and it had good reason to: having such a feature on a phone at this price is attractive to a lot of people.

and while we braced our hand for the shot, the result was a small amount of wobble ruining the whole image.Available only in select cities and transit systems. Requires eligible device and OS version. See here for details. The High Key Light Mono mode is generally pretty accurate and allows you to appear in your very own Calvin Klein advert. Update: The newer model Apple iPhone 12 and its smaller version the iPhone 12 mini are now available! You may also want to buy the Apple AirPods Pro or AirPods 2 to go with your new iPhone. IP68 Waterproof The overall speed and performance of the iPhone 11 is robust - and especially so for the price. It’s still one of the most powerful phones out there, according to our early benchmarks. As far as size, the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 11 falls between the Pro (5.8) and the Pro Max (6.5). It is an LCD panel rather than OLED, and with 1792 x 828 pixels, only delivers HD resolution. A13 Bionic Chipset

Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply.

Tapping the shutter button takes pictures instantly, and third-party apps like Flimic Pro add options like recording with multiple cameras at once. Should You Buy the iPhone 11? The 11 uses a new version of the XR's 6.1-inch LCD, at the same 326ppi pixel density. Does that screen density matter? It does if you look at a lot of small text. And perhaps in a subtle push toward the more expensive phones, Apple puts some very small text on its home screens nowadays. The iPhone 11's 326ppi is certainly readable, but the Pro's higher-density 458ppi display is a little more restful if you're staring at it a lot. The 11 gets the same A13 Bionic chipset as the two Pro models. Apple claims it is 20% faster than last year's A12. Paired with 4 GB RAM, it should offer a noticeable boost in the area of gaming performance as well as overall system performance compared to previous models. Longer Battery Life

No more ultra-fragile iPhone! The new model is crafted of space-grade aluminium and what Apple calls the hardest glass ever built into a smartphone. The housing is rated IP68. It is sealed against dust and splashes. According to the manufacturer, this means it can survive submersion in up to 2 m of water for 30 minutes without damage. Weighing 194 g, it is heavier than the smaller Pro. Dual Camera with Wide Angle Apple has doubled the number of lenses on offer here: where the iPhone XR had one, porthole-like sensor on the rear, things are much more grandiose for 2019, with a whole window on the rear containing two 12MP sensors.
