Our Thoughts On The Iphone 11: Tangible Upgrades

It’s that time of the year again, crowds raise their cheers as Tim Cook sets foot on stage, millions of cameras twist and turn as if the entire world is watching - it’s Apple’s yearly keynote, and we are all patiently waiting to see what they’ve got in store for us this time around. It’s like this every year, but in 2019, Apple has gone on stage with one mission: provide customers with visible improvements, and after taking a deeper look at the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pros, here’s our two cents on Apple’s 2019 flagships.

An Uphill Battle & Tangible Upgrades

After the release of last year’s iPhone, Apple was caught on a battle against their sales figures - numbers that were often used as proof by many that the company could no longer innovate the same space they created.

Because of this, Apple seems to have largely changed their approach to the way their iPhones are presented this time around. Instead of sticking with the small improvements that plagued the iPhone XS and XS Max, Apple has instead focusing on providing upgrades that could easily and visibly be noticeable by any smartphone owner.

This phenomenon can be seen through the cameras, screen, processor and battery life, all aspects that are not only very important to the everyday smartphone experience, but aspects that Apple made sure to provide numbers and live examples to back their new impressive technology. Seeing the capabilities of their new night mode, or how the triple camera setup allows for 4k 60fps video across all three cameras for example, were both moments in which even an iPhone XS Max user could look on and at least acknowledge that Apple was bringing forth a better product.

Where this new attitude may matter to most is again with battery life, where Apple claimed a 5 hour increase when compared to the previous generation of iPhones. On the processor front, seeing an easy to understand chart that made Apple’s new A13 bionic chip simply destroy the entire competition is another of the plentiful examples where the Cupertino company simply brought silence to other smartphone manufacturers.

These may all seem like small, and mostly expected improvements when looked at individually, but it is when you start to bundle these upgrades all together that it quickly becomes evident that the iPhone 11 is a substantially more usable phone than its last generation.

From Android to IOS?

If you’ve been following our content for a while, you may have quickly caught on to the fact that we are quite vocal about our appreciation for Android. Needless to say however, this hasn’t stopped us from admiring Apple for the amazing value they bring to the table.

At $699, not only is the company sending a message that flagship smartphones don’t always need to cost $1000, but the company is also communicating that it still has room to innovate. This is to say that though we wouldn’t necessarily switch from our Android smartphones to IOS, we admire the fact that Apple is able to step up and provide tangible upgrades in categories that matter the most to consumers, instead of focusing on the nitty-gritty details that most wouldn’t notice - as is often seen in the Android side of the competition.
