1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280
It's September, which means at least two things for sure.

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:07,240
That old earthwind and fire song on the radio, and new iPhones.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,320
Apple dropped its new iPhone 11 lineup earlier this month

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,000
with three models to choose from. The base iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,120
and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,160
I would like to be a fly on the wall when they decided on that last one.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,480
I'm hoping next year the top end model is gonna be the iPhone 12 Ultra Pro Max.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,320
And if you're wondering what makes it Max, by the way, it's just a pro with a Max-sized screen

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,000
and a Max-sized battery. The most interesting new features

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,920
start with the revamped camera system. The base model now has two rear cameras,

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,320
unlike the previous generation iPhone XR, which only had one.

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,800
So one of them is a normal one, and the second will be able to see four times

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,320
as much of your surroundings and capture things that are happening outside the frame,

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,120
which means it's got an ultra-wide angle lens on it. If you step up to the Pro or the Pro Max,

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,480
there's now a third telephoto lens on the back for taking sharper photos of faraway objects.

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Apple also says that regular shots will utilize data from all three cameras

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,320
to create a better-looking final product. Regardless of which iPhone model you go with,

18
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:18,440
there's also a new night mode that uses software processing

19
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,960
to keep those tricky low-light photos from turning out way too dark or blurry.

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,040
Another big change on the outside is the variety of colors the iPhone now comes in.

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Aside from the usual black and white, the base model will come in light purple, yellow, red,

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,080
and nursing home green for the old at heart, and the Pro models will keep the gold, gray,

23
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,360
and silver options, but also add a new midnight green color.

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,960
Around the other side, the screen-to-body ratio remains nearly identical

25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:49,000
to last generation, with the notch making what is hopefully

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,640
its last appearance before the final curtain falls on its short and unappreciated career.

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,860
Once again, the base model comes equipped with an LCD display,

28
00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:00,860
while the Pro models get upgraded OLEDs

29
00:02:00,860 --> 00:02:05,900
that are apparently more power efficient. The exterior has also been fortified

30
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:09,340
with Apple claiming that both the front and back glass

31
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:14,860
are more scratch resistant than past generations, and that they've added better water resistance.

32
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:19,320
They're now boasting 30 minutes of resistance at two meters of depth for the basic,

33
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,700
or four meters if you pick up the Pro models.

34
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,980
Under the hood, the new iPhones all come with the new A13 Bionic system on a chip,

35
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:34,380
which is quite powerful with early benchmarks showing it well ahead of the top end Snapdragon 855

36
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:38,420
used in flagship Android phones. This should help with the iPhone's photo

37
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:43,900
and video processing. Apple also claims that the A13 is 20% faster

38
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:47,820
than the previous generation for gaming and augmented reality.

39
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:52,260
And there's also machine learning accelerators incorporated onto the A13,

40
00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:57,460
which third party developers will hopefully take advantage of. But for now, they'll at least aid in delivering

41
00:02:57,460 --> 00:03:01,800
those advanced camera features that we discussed. Speaking of chips, this time around,

42
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,020
there's another chip simply called U1

43
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:09,900
that's new to the iPhone 11 lineup. It's meant to be a spatial awareness chip

44
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:16,220
that can interact with other devices equipped with U1 to do things like help find a lost iPhone

45
00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:21,120
or send files using AirDrop simply by pointing one iPhone at another,

46
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,500
which doesn't sound like much,

47
00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:28,620
but kind of like when Apple added a compass, it appears that additional capabilities

48
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:33,220
will be coming in the future, especially once they open it up to third party developers.

49
00:03:33,220 --> 00:03:37,840
On the subject of the future, the new iPhones don't come with 5G support.

50
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,780
You will have to wait at least another year for that, but you do at least get enhanced connectivity

51
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:46,660
in the form of Wi-Fi 6, which you can learn more about right up here.

52
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:50,300
You get support for Dolby Atmos for better sound while using headphones,

53
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:53,620
and you get an optional fast 18 watt charger

54
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:57,020
if you wanna clobber your battery with electrons during a quick top-up

55
00:03:57,020 --> 00:04:01,780
before heading out for a night on the town. There's also a generational improvement in battery life

56
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:09,140
thanks to both larger battery capacities and, according to Apple, their most efficient SoC ever.

57
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:14,280
With all that said, taken all together, the iPhone 11 lineup seems to be mostly an upgrade

58
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,580
for the photo enthusiasts with a nice little price drop on the low end.

59
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:24,660
So there are definitely cool features, and you might be tempted to rush out and grab one,

60
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:29,660
but I'd say that unless you're a few generations back, you'll wanna take a second to think about

61
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:34,100
if you use your phone for getting them influencer-level shots,

62
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:38,380
or if you'll just be paying a lot of money to scroll through Twitter a hair faster.

63
00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:41,620
