iPhone 11 Pro Review Roundup: Significant Camera Advancements and Excellent Battery Life

The full images have the name of the phone in them, so I’m sure I’m looking at the right one. Also, the image that looks better is clearly a newer phone than the almost 1 year old Pixel.
I will be upgrading again, as I do year after year after year.
On the phone so much, for $400 - $500 a year to upgrade (after selling old on open market) I feel it's worth it for the minimal upgrades. I just like having the latest.
It's why I have 4 receivers, three TVs and a wife that hates me.
To each their own

Whether or not 5G is widespread now is irrelevant, as many people keep their iPhones longer than a year or two. I can imagine myself three years from now with the 11 Pro Max, wishing I had waited one more year for 5G on the iPhone 12.
[doublepost=1568745907][/doublepost]Yearly upgraders should not worry about 5G. But most iPhone users are not yearly upgraders.
Even in 3-4 years when 5G is widespread people still won’t notice the difference.
That’s the thing that Apple understands. Why commit to a new tech like 5G, when standards aren’t set, chipsets are in flux and prices are high, as you end up betting on putting a certain radio into your device today, which does NOT guarantee that you would have the fastest / best service in a year, two years or more. In fact, I would be willing to bet that given the multitude of challenges today’s 5G has (specifically very poor performance in anything but short-range, direct line of sight connections and extremely inefficient battery usage), that in a year to 18 months from now, the 5G chipsets going into devices will be drastically different than what the couple of devices offering it today are using.
I paid $1000, I used the phone for two years and traded in for $400, how am I losing more than $1000?
Neglected to mention, that the Lr app also has full manual camera control.
Mashable, review has you covered:
And the iPhone 11 Pro's night mode also produces better photos in my opinion -- sharper details from corner to corner, and better tones and contrast to preserve a scene's mood. Whereas night mode on other phones brighten a scene to the point it looks artificial or flat, the iPhone 11 Pro's night mode more delicately balances the light and dark areas in both the foreground and background.

Ufff nice jump there! Enjoy!
5G isn’t like the previous radio frequency upgrades. It’s actually pretty garbage. 5g only works on small cell site connections. Basically hotspots and in the house microcells. So unless everyone around you installs a micro cell your neighborhood will never have a 5g connection. It’s such short range that it only works in highly condensed areas under certain circumstances and in line of site while standing on one foot. It also degrades quickly with any interference of the signal.
In all seriousness 5g has a lot of maturing to do before it’s beneficial to most. By the time 5g becomes useful 6g will be the fix for 5g.
I'm absolutely loving these night shots in all the reviews. Can't wait to try it out myself.
In digital photography it isn't just about the camera hardware, which is pretty much a level playing field across manufacturers. A key differentiator is the CPU/GPU/AIPU behind the camera which gives Apple a big advantage.
Apple phones are unique in having an in-house design processor which is ahead of the competition.
"you can see in real time an exposure getting brighter"
That wouldn’t be unprecedented. The iPhone 6, 6S, 7, and 8 are essentially the same phone design.
My regular is regularly pulling 100+ mbps.
What can you do with a phone, in 2019, that requires over 200 mbps?
4K video compressed for streaming is way under 200mbps. Music streaming too. File uploads to iCloud (not that you'll be doing that much of it on 4G anyway). The advantage would be in downloading large files at once - which you won't do on an iPhone, Pro or otherwise. Not in 2019...
Well you lost $600.00 in 2 yrs for one thing. To me that’s a lot of money. That iPhone X will last for many many yrs of use while getting the most of your $1K. So you lost money there. I’ve had my 6s for 4 yrs still works fine. There is no way I would buy a $1k iPhone to loose $600.00 in only 2 yrs. Plus if you used that to buy a new phone your still losing money because your again paying full retail for a new iPhone.
Things depreciate, that is how the world works. I got a lot more than $600 of value from the phone while I use it.
Long term experience with future proofing > initial out of box experience. Upgrade iOS from the version it's shipped with and all bets are off.
I believe you slide the shutter button the left for burst mode. If you slide it to the right it’ll lock the video mode so you can continue to record after lift your finger from the screen.
