Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and with the introduction of the iphone 13 this year
apple reduced the price of the iphone 11 and so i wanted to help you decide whether or not
to upgrade from an iphone 11 to an iphone 13 or maybe upgrade to an iphone 11 from something else
and so apple has dropped the price of the iphone 11 this year by another hundred dollars so it's
499 dollars or 549 dollars they no longer offer the 256 gigabyte model of the iphone 11 new but
they offer 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage with the iphone 13 apple now offers double the storage of
last year from the iphone 12 and instead the base model is now 128 gigabytes so 799 dollars to 1099
or add an additional 30 for the unlocked version if you're not going through a
carrier you have 128 gigabytes 256 or 512 gigabyte options with the iphone 13.
the iphone 11 comes in the same colors it did before white black green that i have here yellow
purple and product red those are the available colors for iphone 11 where the iphone 13 comes in
pink blue that i have here midnight starlight and again red or product red now with the iphone 11 we
have a classic design that's been around for years we have rounded corners and it's rounded all the
way around but we have glass on the back and front just like we do with the iphone 13 or anything
after the iphone 11. the iphone 11 is made out of aluminum and the edge rounds over the front
display where the glass is actually curved so it's very comfortable to use and swiping from
edge to edge is very smooth there's no bumps or anything on the edge with the iphone 13
it's still aluminum and glass but it's squared off similar to that of the iphone 4 or 5 and
aluminum on the outside edges and it's just not as smooth going to the edges however it does feel
a little bit more premium in my opinion and more durable but maybe not as comfortable in the hand
and so on the front we have ceramic shield which is four times less likely to break when dropped
and on the back you have regular glass as well ceramic shield has been very durable in my past
year or so of you using it and i have no scratches on it whatsoever on the previous generation phones
now as far as the overall size we have similar screen sizes i'll talk about in a moment
but the overall size of the phone itself is a little bit smaller with the iphone 12. it's a
little bit narrower as you can see here as well as not as tall due to the outside construction so
it's not as tall because it's squared off and they were able to make the bezels a little bit smaller
so there's a little bit of a difference there also thickness wise you can see the difference they're
very very similar although again the iphone 13 is slightly thinner and because of that there's also
a weight difference as well the iphone 11 is 6.84 ounces or 194 grams where the iphone 13 is 6.14
ounces or 174 grams so there's definitely a weight difference it's very slight but
some may notice it some might not but you can definitely notice the size difference when holding
them now when it comes to the display there's big differences here with the iphone 11 you have a 6.1
inch display it's a liquid retina lcd it's 1792 by 828 with 326 pixels per inch now it goes up
to 625 nits of regular brightness so it's not as bright as the iphone 13 i'll show you that in a
moment but it does have p3 wide colors true tone and haptic touch and so it does look great and
there's some people that say that they can see the pixels but anything over about 300 pixels per inch
you can't really see now the iphone 13 display does look a little bit better because it's an
oled it's a 6.1 inch super retina xdr display it's the same display basically as the pro
but doesn't go as bright so it's an oled display it can play hdr up to 1200 nits but with an 800
nit normal brightness so it's super bright and it's hard to show the difference here on camera
but it's super bright either way and it's easy to see either in sunlight but the 13 definitely is
easier to see in sunlight now it has a resolution of 2532 by 1170 with 460 pixels per inch so it's
got a very high pixel density and again has p3 wide color true tone and haptic touch so they're
the same that way now one thing the iphone 11 does not have is pwm or pulse width modulation which
is a way of controlling brightness that actually flickers the display it flickers faster or slower
depending on the brightness level and can bother some people's eyes in fact it does bother me as
well and it's about one in ten people that have this issue where it causes eye strain or can cause
you to feel nauseated on the iphone 11 it does not have pwm so you cannot ever see the screen flicker
with the iphone 13 under slo-mo at 240 frames per second there is a flicker to the display this may
bother people's eyes this year with the pro models it doesn't seem to bother me at all and as it's at
a high enough rate that it doesn't bother my eyes at all but for some people it still could cause
eye strain so keep that in mind if you're picking this up if you're getting headaches while using it
you may want to consider an iphone 11 since that won't have that problem now also you can see the
notch has been shrunk this year with the iphone 13 there's definitely a difference there it doesn't
really give you any additional real estate as far as icons in the upper right apple has not given us
a battery status indicator even though they have extra width there to do so or a battery percentage
but you still have the same sort of layout even though the notch has been shrunk slightly they've
also moved the speaker to the top instead of in the middle of the notch and move the camera to the
left so there's a little bit of a difference there with the overall placement and with the iphone
13 the stereo sound sounds a little bit better compared to the 11 so i wanted to show you a video
quickly to let you hear the difference between each one of them so first is the iphone 11.
now here's the iphone 13.
so there you were able to hear the difference between the 11 and the 13 of course it's only
going to be as good as my microphone is but the 13 definitely goes louder and has a better
stereo sound to it overall the top speaker has been improved greatly and is much louder and
sounds basically the same volume as the bottom speaker this time around so there's
an advantage there it's not a huge advantage but it is definitely something that's better
now as far as the battery is concerned both of them are pretty good as far as battery iphone 11
gets up to 17 hours of video playback according to apple and has a 3 110 milliamp hour battery
the iphone 13 has up to 19 hours of video playback and has a 3227 milliamp hour battery generally you
can expect between six to eight hours of screen on time depending on how you use your phone
now if you're using music and maybe just listening to music and using safari at the same time you're
going to get good battery life out of either one of them the lcd uses lower power because it's not
as high resolution and doesn't have the brightness that the other one does so it's not pushing as
much power all the time however they do get good battery life the 13 will get a little bit more
both of them do fast charge about 50 in 30 minutes or so but the 13 has magsafe so you can charge
with a magsafe adapter if you have that just put it on the back and it will charge the phone now
you can charge both wirelessly if you want to they both support that with qi wireless charging but
there is an advantage with the 13 pro having the latest technology in it now overall speed of the
phones is very similar in everyday use you already saw that i open music they seem to load about the
same maybe if i go over to my library go back to browse you'll see that well the 13 is a little bit
faster than the 11 but it's not so much that it will be a problem for most people the iphone 11
has an a13 bionic with four gigabytes of ram and the next gen neural engine where the iphone 13
has the a15 bionic with four gigabytes of ram and a new six core cpu with two performance and four
efficiency cores a new four core gpu and a new 16 core neural engine so there's a difference there
now as far as a way to show you the overall speed it's very difficult to do but you can see just
opening the camera maybe going over the photos closing it going into music opening apps is really
going to be about the same i did want to show you exporting a 4k video just to show you if there's
any difference there usually it's only going to be a few seconds it's very hard to show the
difference as far as the processor speed as much of it has to do with maybe processing augmented
reality and more so what i've done is i've made a 4k imovie video i've used the same video in
other videos as well for comparisons if we go into imovie you'll see that i already have the
video here and so let me bring in another phone that we can use as a stopwatch so we'll go into
the clock here and then we'll go into stopwatch and let's go ahead and try and export this now
this is the same movie on both of these in imovie both of them are 3 minutes and 46 seconds long you
can see it's stuttering a little bit on the iphone 11 as i scroll through fast but they're the exact
same video with the same titles and everything so let me go ahead and share this or we'll hit done
hit done on both we'll share both so we'll go ahead and hit save video and see how long it takes
and let me speed this up so you don't have to wait
now you can see there was only a couple second difference between the export of 4k video and so
there's definitely not as big of a difference as you might think so the processors both are
powerful but the iphone 13 definitely has the more powerful processor when it comes to other features
now one thing that makes the difference with that processor is the cameras there's two
different cameras on the back of both phones and they're both great but first let's talk about
the forward facing camera the front facing cameras on both are 12 megapixel cameras
and they're both f 2.2 apertures with the iphone 13 you gain a few extra features though you have
smart hdr4 night mode deep fusion on the front camera and 4k 60 but the iphone 13 can record in
dolby vision hdr up to 60 frames per second on the front camera as well as has cinematic mode
so you'll see we have all of these different modes where you have cinematic video which is basically
portrait video mode on the front-facing camera it's 1080p with cinematic mode and hdr that's why
it's so bright and hard to see in this video but you have that option with video on the iphone 13
again you have hdr so let me change the settings here we'll go into settings and if we go down to
camera under camera under formats you'll see we have hevc for high efficiency and then also
under record video we have hdr video so you have those options on the iphone 13 where you don't
have them on the iphone 11. so if we go into the same settings you won't have the option for
hdr video however you can watch it back and if we go go into video recording we can record 4k
60 but without hdr so that's the difference there when it comes to that so if hdr doesn't
matter to you then the iphone 11 will be just fine however if it does the iphone 13 is the way to go
now with the back cameras they're similar in the sense that they're both 12 megapixel cameras
but on the iphone 11 we have a wide f 1.8 as well as an ultra wide f 2.4 again with 4k 60 video on
the iphone 13 we have a wide f 1.6 that allows in more light and a ultra wide f 2.4 again but
again we have night mode on all cameras in deep fusion smart hdr4 again with that cinematic mode
and also photographic styles which is something else that's new so if you go into your menus tap
on the menu button you'll have this little icon here where we can change the photographic style
if we want to change it from maybe say standard to contrast vibrant or warm or adjust it however
we want we have that option to do that in real time and have it baked into the photo so that
you can have it set this way to your liking maybe to post online or just maybe you like photos to be
a little bit different looking than what apple has standard out of the camera so all of those
things are advantages on the iphone 13 over the iphone 11. now when it comes to the cameras let's
go ahead and take a look at them and i'll show you the differences now both of these photos are
taken with just the default settings out of the camera so i think they both look great and then
i sat in this bench here and took this photo again same default settings however i do think
the iphone 13 looks a little bit more natural i took a ultra wide shot as well and similar
results i think the ultra wide on the 13 is a little bit better with zoom though we have five
times digital zoom there's no optical zoom i think the iphone 11 does a better job here surprisingly
both phones have flaring when you're pointing them at bright objects such as the sun or at
night on the moon and also up close the iphone 13 looks a little bit better because it has an f 1.6
aperture and has a little bit more blur as you can see using night mode handheld is what you see here
just pointing it at the sky and hitting the button then i adjusted it to the maximum amount
of exposure that i could with night mode and this is that photo and then also i switched to
a tripod and exposed for as long as i could and it shows you the difference between all of them
the iphone 13 is definitely more natural with these types of photos than the last generations
of phones so this is the forward-facing camera of the iphone 13 and the iphone 11. and as you
can see the camera on the iphone 11 is definitely not handling the background as well it doesn't
have the dynamic range of the iphone 13 and also here's the microphone from the iphone 13 compared
with the iphone 11 so let me know which one you think sounds better whether it be this iphone 11
or the iphone 13 i'd love to hear from you in the comments below the ultra wide camera when in video
mode it does a great job on both of them as you can see the ultra wide on the iphone 13 i think
does a little bit better job with focus since it's upgraded this year but overall they're very very
similar also when you're using stabilization maybe just walking down a path like this you'll see that
they're very very similar the iphone 13 has sensor shift stabilization but you really don't notice a
difference until you get to the larger lenses now i really wouldn't upgrade due to just sensor shift
stabilization as the optical image stabilization of the iphone 11 looks pretty good here as well
now when it comes to the cellular connectivity of both they're very different the iphone 11 has an
intel modem and has up to 4g where the iphone 13 has 5g with millimeter wave in the united states
and 5g in more places around the world it also has dual e sim support so both phones
have dual sim support in the sense of one physical and one e sim but the iphone 13
has dual e sim support at the same time so if you use dual sim cards that may be an advantage
for you the iphone 13 also has facetime hd calls using 5g as well so that's something a little bit
different the iphone 13 also has a qualcomm modem which seems to be more reliable compared to the
intel modem that's in the iphone 11. there's always been some issues with those intel modem
it seems based off many people that have told me they've had poor connectivity however the
iphone 11 seems to be pretty good overall they have similar wi-fi on both 802.11 ax or wi-fi 6
support so there's no difference really there it's just mostly the cellular connectivity ip rating
is also slightly different as well where the iphone 11 has ip68 for 2 meters up to 30 minutes
the iphone 13 is a little bit better sealed and has ip68 6 meters up to 30 minutes so
you can go a little bit deeper with the iphone 13 and it seems to be more resistant overall and they
have the same bluetooth setup as well bluetooth 5.0 and so those are all the differences between
the iphone 11 and iphone 13 and hopefully that helps you get a better idea of which one is best
for you would you rather pay almost double the price of the iphone 11 for the iphone 13
or is the iphone 11 good enough for you for what you care about most if you care about the photos
and video quality i would go with the iphone 13 but if you care about maybe you have issues with
pwm the iphone 11 is definitely the better option there both have the same screen size
and the iphone 13 does seem to be a little bit faster with certain applications and certain
things with all of those extra photo features with the smaller notch and the oled display
but if none of those things matter well then the iphone 11 is definitely a bargain and you
may even be able to get it for less than the retail price with deals through your carrier
so there's definitely a lot of advantages to each depending on what matters most to you let me know
which phone you picked up in the comments below or maybe you picked a different one an iphone se
or maybe an iphone 13 mini let me know what's best for you in the comments below i'd love to hear
from you there and if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
