    iPhone 11 Review

    Posted: 23 Oct 2019 05:16 AM PDT

    Hello Again,

    I wrote last year this review and it got huge responses on the iPhone XR and figured why not do it again.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/9zorpd/iphone_xr_review/

    So I traded in my Product Red 128GB Iphone XR, for a Black iPhone 11 and here are my thoughts on the device if your deciding on making the move.

    Design and Build

    Pretty much same as last years XR, but I do love what they did with the Camera bump this year with the one milled piece of glass. Not sure how that magic is done, but it gives the phone a 3D look to it and the matte on the camera bump does make me wish for the entire thing to be matte. Again Aluminum body which is fine as almost all flagships are still doing aluminum for their phone bodies, aluminum is much easier to machine as steel is much harder to machine and cost a lot more to money to produce.

    Weakness of this year's lineup is the colors to me, they went very easter egg pastel colors, I would like more rich colors, but that is a matter of taste. Would love a midnight blue, or like the Product Red which is a deep red. The purple is nice if you like purple and its probably to me the best new color. The Green is very spearmint to me and i prefer darker greens then the lighter shades. The removal of blue was kind of a head scratcher as it was my 2nd favorite color to Product Red in last years Xr. I went back to black, well because black goes with everything, and to be honest I got tired of the colors, maybe I'm just basic.

    Screen

    Same screen as the XR which is fine..... This phone screen is good, if you a screen nerd its not going to blow you away but its far from people saying it sucks, and it's a 720P screen. First off its not 720P its 828P ok!

    Also the PPI is 326 and people complain how its low rez, but say how awesome the iPad Pro Screens are at 264.... Yes it is a sub 1080p panel, but there's more to a screen then just resolution. Color, Brightness, is all here and it's very good. iPhonedo did a review on the 11 recently and compared the phone without telling you which phone was which doing a 4k source video on both. The note made it 1440p and the iPhone 1080p then to 828p, I'll be honest during the blind I thought the iPhone was better looking. Now I am not saying the iPhone 11 has better screen then the Note, but in certain images with a lot of light and color the iPhone will hold its own against it, it just won't when it comes to dark things because OLED will always be king here.

    Battery

    1 Hour longer then the battery champ Xr, sign me up! This is the simplest part of the review the Xr was great at battery and you get 1 hour longer, this thing is a tank and is only really surpassed by the big brother iPhone 11 Pro Max which lets face it has just a huge battery.....

    But one note good on Apple to finally listen and make the Pro's thicker and bigger and put a good size battery finally in these things. People ripped on the Xr "budget phone" and "thic boy" but in the end lot of tech people went with the Xr over the Xs because of battery life. Apple is killing it right now with battery life!

    Camera

    This is the main reason why I traded in my XR. Apple killed the camera this year, I have a two year old and my phone is my camera, so when the cameras have huge upgrades like this year, I upgrade because I take pictures of my baby with this device and I have it on me at all times. Now I know DSLR and real cameras take better photos but we are getting closer and closer to saying a Phone Camera is close enough that everyday people don't need a seperate camera, and professionals in the next few years might not either.

    Wide Angle was the right move, I actually mentioned it in my XR Review that I would prefer Wide Angle to Telephoto, I am very happy with the 2 camera array that Apple chose the Wide Angle. You can just take way more dramatic shots IMO then a slight zoom from the telephoto.

    Last years XR has a great camera, but the software seems to do weird things sometimes with the Smart HDR, in perfect light you will get great shots on the XR but when the lighting isn't ideal the XR can fall apart. All of this has been fixed in the 11 and improved by a huge amount, only issue I have seen with the 11 is it does like to sharpen a lot, but honestly you might like that and it's only really weird if you zooming in on objects in the photos.

    Night Mode is amazing and puts it right up there with the pixel. This camera is amazing at night where this was the XR's Achilles Heel IMO. You will be able to take photos and just wow yourself, go out and take some night photos because you never could before with an iPhone.

    Video is king on this phone, Image Stabilization is crazy good, so much I didn't even need a tripod setup doing video with my kid, but when I showed people the video they were surprised it wasn't on some kind of tripod setup. 4k 60 on the back and front, the iPhone is PowerHouse when it comes to Video and IMO no other phone is even close.

    Summary

    So in summary, good design not great, performance champion, and camera that is amazing. This is the iPhone to get for most people, if your a screen snob or really want that telephoto lens then there is the pro, but man this year there is even lesser reasons to get the pro.

    The iPhone 11 lower price of $699 now, which you should never get by the way grab the 128 gb for $749. And the Pro which is smaller size and 64gb storage which you can't get 128gb so you have to move to 256 gb for $150 more. So now your at $1150 or $1250 for the max. To me the telephoto and the OLED are not worth $400 - $500 difference it just isn't.

    Thanks again for reading the review and I hope this helps your buying decisions if you plan on getting a phone this year!

    Edit: wow what a response thanks guys and girls for the replies this is amazing!

    Antialiasing of images in Photos on iPhone 11

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 12:28 PM PDT

    I recently purchased an iPhone 11 to replace an iPhone 6s Plus. I was aware that the screen pixel density of the 11 and XR was marginally lower than my old 6s but after comparing displays in the Apple store I was happy enough to buy the 11. On taking pictures with fine background detail, however, there is a noticeable difference in sharpness in viewing the picture on my old phone vs the new one - fair enough, I thought, that's the lower resolution screen. On viewing the same images in Google Photos, however, I noticed that a much sharper image is displayed as each subsequent photo moves into place on swiping from one photo to another. When the photo comes to a stop, however, the final image is softened to match the image that is displayed on the 11's screen in the native photos app. This does not happen on the 6s. I assume the XR behaves the same way but have not had one in my hands to test. It is worth noting that the unsoftened image will often have noticeable 'jaggies' so I can see why some softening may be used. I am wondering, could the method of image display in the native Photos app incorporate some sort of antialiasing? If so I really feel that Apple could likely tweak the algorithm slightly to produce image display closer to the original image and feel it is worth raising the issue to see if others have noticed and if Apple might see and look into it. I have already sent them feedback.

    TLDR: I think the iPhone 11 (and probably the XR) are applying an antialiasing filter to images in the Photos app which is over aggressive and is not doing their display justice! This is apparent after scrolling through photos in Google Photos which exposes the softening filter. I wonder has anyone else noticed this?
