IPHONE 11 PRO IN 2021

 The Iphone

11 pro and when i say that i mean

actually using it as my main device

versus just using it to review now with

this device the iphone 11 pro

it came out in 2019 and i want to get

this out of the way

there are so many things about this

phone that i miss

and i don't even know why the iphone 12

pro that i use

you know it should be better in every

single way but i still

think that my iphone 11 pro is like a

better device in some areas

if you want to pick up this phone or any

other device that i'd recommend this

year

links will be down in the description

you can get them from there and help

support the channel at the same time

now on the front of the iphone 11 pro

you can see we still have that 5.8 inch

super retina xdr oled display and as i

stated before this was a

very good panel at that time and it

still is a pretty good panel i really

don't think there's that much to

complain about

i think the notch and probably the lack

of you know 120 hertz or 90 hertz or

whatever

that is kind of a disadvantage in this

day and age but again you have to

consider the fact that no other iphone

has that capability either so

it's really not that big of a deal and

i'm not really complaining about it too

much

and even when i use it i really didn't

care about it that much at that time

but the fact that the 12 pros don't have

it either is kind of an annoyance you

still have that notch with face id up

front which i love and it's beautiful

but on top of that you still have very

little bezel around the whole entire

display too

and as i said before i mean this panel

for sure is still timeless in so many

different ways

now you have that stainless steel

chassis around the whole entire you know

body of it which feels really good

the lightning port on the bottom and on

the back we have that frosted glass back

which still feels

so good arguably it feels better than

what my iphone 12 pro brought which i

just never

really understood why that happened but

the iphone 11 pro

the body the feeling of it is still an

amazing asset for sure and it is one of

the reasons why i would recommend

picking up this phone

is because of the way it feels in the

hand now you also have that triple

camera setup on the back as well which

we'll get into in a second

but when you look at this phone and when

i felt this phone i was just so happy

about the way it was just feeling the

way it was looking

and even now i still think this phone

holds up extremely well in the body

standpoint so if you're picking up this

phone and you plan on using it

you're definitely not gonna feel like

it's a cheap phone or anything like that

it's not even two years old yet so

you're definitely not gonna get that

vibe from it so

in terms of the body and the camera and

everything that pretty much covers it up

in terms of an exterior standpoint but

now let's go ahead and hit on the camera

a little bit more in detail so

it had that triple camera setup on the

back a 12 megapixel wide angle lens a 12

megapixel telephoto lens

and then a 12 megapixel ultrawide sensor

now again this was one of those devices

that i used as a main device for

for like a year since i owned it

actually a little bit over a year

and this camera is one of those devices

that is just so

predictable and it's so just you know

what you're getting with this camera

with a lot of other phones you just

don't know how it's going to perform

indoors or outdoors or

you can kind of get an idea sometimes

the photos will look really really good

in the same conditions and sometimes not

i did not get that vibe from this camera

or really any iphone camera that's one

of its biggest strong points

and with this camera especially when i

would go ahead and just go anywhere and

say photos or videos

there were a ton of videos and photos

that i took on my channel you know

throughout all these videos even my

second channel of just

videos straight from this phone and i

really liked it it's super predictable

i loved having that telephoto lens which

is so funny because i ended up using

that way more than i use the ultrawide

sensor

even though i like having an ultrawide

sensor more so those

lenses that you have are future proofing

yourself like crazy i think that was a

really good improvement

from the iphone 7s at that time by

having that triple camera setup

and if you get this phone today if you

get this phone next year

i really don't see cameras improving

really like an insane amount

anytime soon if you look in the past

from iphone to iphone

even if you pick up something like an

iphone 10s camera that's still pretty

okay for now

but very soon that's going to be

outdated as long as you have these three

camera setups

i think you're going to be okay for the

most part so in terms of the back camera

4k 60 1080p at 240. i don't know why you

want to do that but you have that

capability

so this camera for sure thumbs up for me

on the back

and even on the front of this front

camera is still extremely good you have

the ability of doing

4k 60 on the front as well and as i said

before that is a humongous

asset when you pick up a device like

this you're not going to feel like it's

outdated in any way in terms of the

camera we're still only stuck at 4k

60 for at least the foreseeable future i

don't see us going to 8k

on the front anytime soon and the

quality of this front lens is still

extremely good so

in terms of the camera standpoint you

are getting a very solid camera for sure

on both

the front and the back so in terms of

the camera standpoint i will say

thumbs up for me for sure this is a very

solid camera in 2021

now moving on to again two of my

favorite areas of this type of device

i think this you know phone is going to

last for such a long time it's not even

funny

this thing had that apple a13 bionic

chip inside of it and there were

actually a lot of devices that apple

released with this specific chipset

some ipads i think some other devices

too i don't really remember

but with that being said i mean this

device is going to last as long as those

devices and apple isn't going to cut it

short so i feel like this device is

going to last a pretty long time in

terms of that

but on top of that the software

longevity and the software updates

when i got this phone i really only had

one problem with it

and it was a software issue where it

wouldn't reboot properly like once in a

while

it was probably like once every two

three months i had to reboot my phone

and for some reason it wouldn't reboot

properly i would have to like hold it

down an extra long amount of time and

kind of you know flutter around with the

buttons

and eventually it got through and other

than that i had a

very stable experience probably in the

beginning with the first two three weeks

like every other device you have

problems but after that

i had a very stable experience with it

and i was extremely happy about it

so that is a really important thing to

keep in mind if i picked up this phone

and there were problems left and right

for the whole entire year i was using it

then that'd be different but that's not

really the case i had a really stable

experience with it and that is a

really huge thing to say and the fact

that this thing is going to be lasting

for an insanely long amount of time

you can pick up this phone today you can

pick up this phone next year you can

even pick up this phone like two years

from now and it's still going to be

lasting

for quite a bit of time in terms of

software i mean i see this thing

probably ending off

probably like 2024 give or take a year

or two

so even with that being said this one's

gonna last a very long time it's not

ending anytime soon so

in terms of software that's huge but in

terms of battery life this was another

huge asset of this phone

that i just can't believe how good this

battery life was

it had a 3046 million power battery and

you had wireless charging you had all

that good stuff

but the better thing was was that this

was the first time on a device

where i just didn't feel the need to

have like worry about the battery life

all the time i think the phone that came

pretty close to it was probably the

iphone 7 plus

but every other iphone i've ever owned

i've always had to kind of keep in the

back of my mind especially my iphone 6

plus

and my iphone 10. those were devices i

had to like get a battery case for and

stuff

and this device it was so good i think

it's the best battery life i've ever had

on a phone

including my iphone 12 pro on ios 13 on

my iphone 11 pro

i was getting better battery life than

my iphone 12 pro right now on ios 14. so

take it as you will but that was a

humongous asset that i had on the iphone

11 pro the battery life is amazing

and i test a lot of phones i can

definitely tell you the 11 pro has

really good battery life for sure so in

terms of those two things

probably the best reasons why i would

recommend picking up an iphone eleven

pro

in 2020 now ending it off with the

performance this device has that apple

a13 bionic chip inside of it

with four gigabytes of ram and this was

another area of this device

that was just so dominated it was just

dominated every single thing i've ever

wanted to do with it

i was editing a bunch of videos on this

thing throughout you know the year that

i used it

if i was on the go and for some reason i

didn't have my macbook or i couldn't

bring it with me

i could always rely on my iphone of at

least being a stable device you know not

being finicky not being glitchy not

having like random issues all over the

place

and i was able to just do whatever i

wanted to do with it now i hate editing

videos on my phone but

it was you know what i had the

processing power so it was kind of nice

knowing that i had that capability if i

wanted it to

and anytime i played any heavy intensive

games or

if i was you know doing a bunch of

random stuff like this phone i don't

have to worry about the performance

and to be honest even phones like an

iphone 10 or iphone 8 i really don't

even have to worry about the performance

of those either

but this device's performance for sure

is very stable

very predictable and it's extremely good

now if you try to compare to the 12 pro

i did find that the 12 pros are just

a little bit faster like i i'm talking

like such a minor difference that is not

even

like i would not even think about

upgrading and honestly the difference

that i saw you could probably get it in

like a software update if there was like

a difference between one software

version and the other it's probably like

that big of a difference between the 12

pro and the 11 pro now ram is a little

bit different

but even then like i found that the

iphone 11 pro is killing the iphone 12

pro in the beginning with

in terms of the ram management so that's

another pretty important thing to say

but i think when it comes down to the

performance standpoint really whatever

you're going to do on the iphone 11 pro

you are going to have a very stable

experience you're not going to feel like

it's outdated you're not going to feel

like it's you know can't handle

everything you throw at it it's still

going to be an extremely good phone when

it comes down to the performance in 2020

so to kind of sum up the video and to

answer the question should you go and

pick up an iphone 11 pro in 2021

well this is what i'll tell you and this

is what i always say this phone is still

completely worth it it's not even two

years old

it's arguably sometimes a better device

than even an iphone 12 pro

as i think even an iphone 12. if i were

planning on picking up these two phones

either an iphone 12 pro or iphone 11 pro

i would kind of like getting an 11 pro

because i know i can get it for so much

cheaper

if they were the same price then

obviously i would go for the 12 pro

because the 11 pro is substantially

cheaper

than a brand new iphone 12 pro it just

kind of makes sense to pick up an 11 pro

if you're planning on even keeping this

phone for the next couple years

even if you pick up the iphone 11 pro

right now it's still going to last you

for an insane amount of time and it's

not going to like you work

you're going to end up upgrading this

phone before you even go and you know

and software on this thing like this

thing is going to be lasting for an

insane amount of time so

you're probably going to be bored of it

you're probably going to go and upgrade

anyway but i think for now the iphone 11

pro is a solid pickup

you're getting a beautiful display still

a premium feeling body a hundred percent

it still feels really good you're

getting that you know face id sensor

which is still cool i guess a very fast

processor

really good battery life on this phone

uh tremendous cameras like that's one of

the best assets for it so

i think this device is still completely

worth into 2021
