hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and the iPhone 11 has been out for a few
months alongside the iPhone 11 pro and pro max
and I've been using it off and on and wanted to do a follow up after a few
months and so we're going to talk about everything from the design to how it is
to use regularly day-to-day and battery life battery life will be covered at the
end but if you want to jump to a specific section I've linked all of the
time codes in the description like I normally do now the first thing is the
actual build this is a very solid phone just like the iPhone XR for it it has
the exact same form factor with the exception of an additional camera and
nice gloss back a matte finish around the camera so everything else is
basically the same as the ten are very solid aluminum construction with glass
front and back and if you haven't held one of these this is the perfect size
for most people it's not as big as the 11pro Maxx
so for some people this phone is just way too big when it comes to the max and
the iPhone 11 pro it might be a little bit too small for you so the 11 itself
is right in the middle and really should be the best size for a lot of people and
I think for most people this is the phone to get and I say that because of
the cost and a few other factors now as far as the display is concerned well
it's the same display as last year it's got that same close to 1080p display I
know a lot of people say it's closer to 720 but it's not it's closer to 1080p
and the viewing angles are fantastic it's the best LCD on the market right
now despite what some people say as far as its pixel density it's up there with
everything else when it comes to LCDs despite its resolution so I've heard no
complaints from people to own this they're happy with it and I think most
people will be happy with it as well now as far as durability the iPhone 11 is
actually holding up really well now currently it does not have a screen
protector on it but it has had one on and off and it has almost zero scratches
maybe a couple really light scratches and I actually find that this display
holds up a little bit better than that of the iPhone 11
Pro or pro max my pro max has a ton of scratches on it which is very
uncharacteristic of the previous iPhones I've had the 11 seems to be holding up a
little better of course that could all be avoided if you used a screen
protector now I have nowhere whatsoever on the back just a few fingerprints here
and that's because I've been using the Apple silicone case on the back when I'm
not using this device it's it's always stored in a case and even when I am I've
been using the case with it just to protect it since these are very
expensive phones it doesn't necessarily protect the
bottom but that's holding up really well and just in general it seems to be a
pretty durable phone just like the iPhone XR now as far as performance
it's the same to use as an 11 Pro Max and the reason is it has the same
processor that's inside so when you're going through swiping something really
simple like that or maybe you're going into more intensive applications maybe
you're editing a video on this it's going to be the exact same experience
that you have with the iPhone 11 pro and pro max or the XS Max or something like
that you're going to be faster than those older devices so if you want to do
something that's very intensive maybe you're editing video you're doing some
things such as iMovie you're not going to have any slowdowns editing photos or
anything like that so this is going to give you the fastest and best experience
just like you get with the 11 Pro and Pro max so no issues there and it's
really a nice thing to use day-to-day it's very nice for me because of its
size I can easily reach across the display I have no problem scrolling up
and down and if you're watching a video and say YouTube's here and you'll see it
actually just reloaded what was new in YouTube but it didn't reload the app so
RAM management has been improved but if you're watching a video and say YouTube
you've got great stereo sound so you've got the speaker on the bottom as well as
the speaker on the top and there's no issues with that list so ever it's a
great phone for that now one of the things that may be a downside for
someone is there's no 3d touch but that's kind of going away with the newer
newer devices so if I'm to haptic tachi I get the same experience I just don't
get the same pressure responsiveness it's just a press and hold now as
opposed to a a pressure-sensitive push so it works
fine you've got most of the same exact things that you get with the pro or the
previous devices with 3d touch but with this device
you've got haptic touch and if that's nothing you don't care about it should
be fine for you if you're coming from an older phone such as an iPhone se or even
older than that it'll just be an added bonus that you can press and hold on
things now one of the main reasons people update to the iPhone 11 is the
camera we've got dual cameras now and these are
the same cameras that you get on the 11 Pro and Pro mattes but you're not
getting the telephoto lens instead Apple decided to go with the wide and ultra
wide lenses and I think that's the right move after using this for a while so if
we pinch out you'll see there's my iMac Pro and my monitor over there and if i
zoom back in you can zoom still and it's a digital zoom and it's pretty good most
people can't tell the difference between this and a 2 X zoom on say an iPhone 11
Pro so I think that was the right move and these cameras are fantastic they're
amazing video cameras I've used this camera for video in some of my videos
when I'm outside and many of you wouldn't know the difference between
this and a much more expensive studio camera or cinema camera it just has a
great image overall so when you're doing video this is one of the best reasons to
get this device you can go up to 4k 64 K 30 whatever you'd like here for K 60 you
have those options and it's just a great camera overall and if I spin the camera
around the forward facing camera on the 11 is better than that of the XR or
previous generations it's the same 12 megapixel camera with 4k that you get on
the 11 Pro you just don't get 4k 60 out of the front so you've got all of these
huge benefits to this device you can use this as a main vlogging device if you
want it's that good of a camera that leads me to battery life that's probably
the most asked thing that I get because this has a smaller battery than the pro
and the pro max but it still gets decent battery life most people that I asked I
put out a little question on Twitter to see what people had to say and most
people said 4 to 7 hours of battery life now that is a
big spread of battery life but my battery is going to vary compared to
yours so let's take a look this was sent over by my friend Steve Moser and as you
can see here he had an hour and 58 minutes of screen on time 8 hours and 16
minutes of screen off time which is actually quite good with decent battery
usage so that's not bad he also sent another one here where the usage wasn't
as good three hours and 19 minutes of screen on time 1 hour and 36 minute of
screen off time and probably a quarter of its battery left so it depends on how
you use the device a lot in fact you'll see here he used Safari a lot slick
deals YouTube Google Photos doing things in the background so all of those things
contribute to how your battery is but most people if you average that out will
get about 5 to 6 hours of screen on time which is plenty for most people now if
you wanted more you could get that battery case or you can just fast charge
it but you will have to use an additional fast charger and one thing I
forgot to mention is my friend that sent these over he said that he's at 97
percent battery health and he's using a fast charger he's using a macbook 29
watt power adapter so that will decrease battery health a little bit more quickly
than if you were using the 5 watt adapter but you get the advantages of
charging it fast and as long as you're at 80% after 2 years you're fine so in
general that's pretty good now signal strength on my iPhone 11 has
been pretty good I find that switching from Wi-Fi to LTE and back it really has
no issues on this device and I have pretty good speeds with my Wi-Fi
technically the pro is faster but most people are not going to notice those
little extra bumps and speed in general this is a great device as far as
cellular connectivity reception and everything overall I would say in some
cases it's better than the pro and I don't know if that's because this is
made of aluminum versus the stainless steel but in general it's pretty good so
what I recommend the iPhone 11 to people I would say if you're looking for a
phone you don't care about the latest and greatest this is the phone to get
forget about the 11pro in the pro max most people can't tell the difference
between the displays despite what people say I've heard
lots of feedback on that most people if you don't care about displays you don't
care about any of that this display is fine for you if you
really are into displays and you care about really dark blacks and vibrant
colors then go ahead and get the pro but for three hundred dollars less you can
have the eleven with all of the advantages - the camera and the larger
battery of the pro - the display as well so if you don't care about those things
this is the way to go for most people and this is what I recommend for most
people but I'd love to hear what you have to say in the comments below now if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the
description as I always do and if you haven't subscribed already please
