- I just spent the last week using
the iPhone 11 Pro every day.
I've taken a ton of photos, I've shot a lot of video with it
and in this video I'm gonna tell you things
that I like about it, things that I don't like about it
and I'm also gonna tell you if I think you
should upgrade, if you have older iPhone,
or if you thinking about making the switch from Android.
Now, let's talk about what I like about the iPhone 11 Pro.
And my favorite feature is the image stabilization
that comes built in to the video.
It's absolutely outstanding.
Now, this isn't gonna replace a gimbal
if you're trying to shoot cinematic footage.
However, the image stabilization inside
of this phone is really, really good.
It's the best iPhone yet.
And I can see somewhere in the near
future where you won't need a mobile
gimbal if you're trying to shoot cinematic footage.
The image stabilization inside the
new iPhone 11 models is, hands down,
the smoothest footage you're going to
get on any existing iPhone.
And of course, Apple didn't create this technology.
Android has had this for awhile,
but for iPhones, this is the first one that does it.
I took it outside, I walked, I jogged with it,
I shot it in various situations,
and I'm incredibly happy with how it looked.
If I wanted to go out and vlog or shot any sort of
handheld video with this phone, I'm confident
that I could do it and it's gonna look great.
So, because of that, I would say that if you are a vlogger
or if you're wanting to use a phone as a second camera,
as a vlogger, or you shoot a lot of handheld content
just walking around your house,
or wherever it is you might shoot,
this is a great camera for you.
Now, I've owned the iPhone 6, I've owned the iPhone 7,
and the 10 and the 10s And I can honestly say, that the
iPhone 11 Pro shoots the best video of any of
the iPhones that I have ever owned.
I'll also take this a step further and say that,
for a lot of people, the iPhone 11 Pro
or the iPhone 11 Pro Max could be your main camera.
Especially, if you're trying to do YouTube
or you're just making content for social media,
the camera is really that good
and I'm really impressed with it.
The second thing that I really love about the iPhone 11 Pro,
is the nighttime photo capabilities or night mode.
I've never owned a phone that can shoot so well
on low light conditions and I'm going to put some images
on the screen that I've shot with the iPhone 11 Pro.
And I've shot them in different environments.
Sometimes, you have overhead lights.
Or, maybe, it's completely dark on the street.
And you can see with the images
that I'm showing on the screen,
I'm showing them without night mode activated
and with night mode activated.
The night mode feature on the iPhone 11 Pro
is absolutely incredible.
They also have it in the 11 and the 11 Pro Max.
And if that's something that you're looking for,
this might be the phone for you.
The third thing I love about the
iPhone 11 Pro is the battery life.
Now, normally, I can get a full day's battery
regardless of what phone that I use because I turn off all
the bells and whistles, I turn off a lot of notifications
and things that do drain your battery.
So, I did the same thing for the iPhone 11 Pro
and it's lasted me for two solid days.
Two solid days.
Yeah, I haven't charged a phone for two days.
Now, I've seen some other videos where other YouTubers,
who have had everything turned on on the phone,
they said they have been able to get a day to a day
and a half use out of the phone, as well.
I got two days out of it and that's going out
and shooting a lot of video and taking a lot of photos
with the iPhone 11 Pro.
So, battery life,
yeah.
Again, the best iPhone I've ever owned.
The fourth thing that I love about the iPhone 11 Pro
is that it's fast.
It's zippy.
Now, some apps don't open faster than my iPhone 10s,
but, some of them do, especially some video editing apps.
But, where I do notice speed is the
face recognition or the face ID.
My 10s stutters a little bit and sometimes I have to
move it around to get it to unlock the phone.
But, the iPhone 11 Pro is instant
and I don't even have to put it too close to my face.
As soon as it sees me picking it up,
it unlocks the screen immediately.
It's really zippy and I love it.
Now, let's talk about some things
that I don't like about the iPhone 11 Pro.
And the first thing is the lens,
not the quality of the lens,
but the actual size of the lens.
If you compare the iPhone 11 Pro with the iPhone 10s,
that I'm showing up on the screen right now,
you can see how much larger the lens area is.
Now, if you look at the iPhone 10s,
or any of the older iPhones,
the cases will actually protect the lenses,
in most situations.
So, if you throw it in your pocket, you throw it in a bag,
most things are not going to scratch your lens.
However, the real estate on the leans area
for the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max-it's huge.
So, I do worry that if I throw this into my pocket,
I throw it into my bag and maybe I have some coins in there
or some other metallic things or some keys,
I worry that I could scratch my lens.
And that's gonna be an expensive fix from Apple.
And while I don't know if this is being made yet,
and it probably is, I would really love
to have a lens cover for this.
Some sort of a clear lens cover that could pop on
or adhesive could stick it onto the phone
and protect the lenses, because, I don't wanna have
to pay to have these lenses replaced, because,
I scratch them or some coins scratch these
when it's in my pocket.
So, that's one really big negative
with the new iPhone 11 Pro and the Pro Max.
Another negative that I've found is,
the photo app keeps crashing, especially,
when I'm using night mode.
Now, this isn't an iPhone 11 issue.
This is an iOS 13 issue.
Because, you know Apple, they rush this thing out
and it's not ready yet.
So, iOS 13 is causing problems.
So, I'm not blaming the phone, I am blaming iOS 13.
So, if you do have an iOS 13 and you do have
the iPhone 11 Pro you might have this problem.
I also have iOS 13 on my 7 and my 10s.
I don't have any problems there
but I do have it on the 11 Pro.
So, for iOS 13 I am waiting on an upgrade
that will fix this problem
and stop the photo app from crashing.
Another thing I don't like about the iPhone 11 Pro
and this is probably also iOS 13 related,
is that the screen recording feature doesn't always work.
I can start to screen recording
and the red notification shows up
on the top-left hand corner to let me know
the screen is being recorded,
then I'll open an app and I'll record a tutorial,
because that is what I do on my channel
and when the tutorials finish,
I close it down and realize
that the screen recording stopped.
This has happened several times
and it doesn't save anything inside the gallery.
It just doesn't record at all.
So, there is a screen recording issue
and again, I'm blaming this on iOS 13.
And another thing, about the iPhone 11 Pro,
or iOS 13, that I do not like
and that's that I cannot pull the video files
from my iPhone 11 Pro onto my PC.
I can pull the images over
And on all of my other iPhones,
I can grab my images and my videos
and easily pull them over to my PC.
I can't do that on the iPhone 11 Pro.
It only allows me to pull over the photos.
I have to use VLC player.
I have to go though and select
all of my videos, add them to my files,
then open up a browser for VLC player,
and pull them in that way.
It's really a slow process and it's slowing me down.
So, I really don't like that feature.
The video quality is amazing
but transferring them from my iPhone 11 Pro
to my PC, it's just now working the way I want it to work.
Now, as you can see, all of those problems,
except for the lens, I'm gonna blame it on iOS 13
and not the phone itself.
So, lens excluded, this is an amazing phone.
So, who's the phone for and should you upgrade
if you have an older iPhone or if you're thinking about
making the switch from Android?
I think the phone is for anyone who wants to
shoot better videos or for anyone who wants to go out
and shoot nighttime photography.
The phone really shines there.
Is is worth the price of an upgrade?
That's entirely up to you, but I think it is.
I also think it's for vloggers.
I think you can vlog entirely
on the iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max.
The microphone actually sounds pretty good, too.
Of course, if you can get a microphone
it's gonna sound even better.
But, I would feel confident to go out with only this phone,
only these lenses, and only the microphone built in to this
and record into video and putting it on YouTube.
It's that good.
When it comes to upgrading,
I would say if you have anything under a 10
upgrading from those older phones
to the new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max.
It's a huge upgrade and you should definitely do it.
If you wanna make the switch from Android,
I don't think it's really necessary.
Some of the latest Samsung models
have all of this stuff that this
iPhone 11 Pro has, so does Huawei.
So, if you wanna stay on Android
you do have options but if you
wanna make the move over to iOS,
I would go with the iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max.
Because I do have the 10s,
I originally, was not gonna get this phone.
But, because I do have a channel
that teaches people how to make make content on their phone,
I thought that I should get it and it would be helpful.
Now, that I have it and I've owned it for a week,
I'm glad that I bought it
and this will become my main phone.
Not only is this the best iPhone that I've ever owned,
this is the iPhone that I've been waiting for.
I dare to say that this is the perfect iPhone,
but I will say, once they work out the kinks in iOS 13,
it just might be.

Thank you so much for watching, I do appreciate it
and I'll see you in the next video.
