00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.280
It's September, which means at least two things for sure.

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:07.240
That old earthwind and fire song on the radio, and new iPhones.

00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.320
Apple dropped its new iPhone 11 lineup earlier this month

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.000
with three models to choose from. The base iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro,

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.120
and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

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.

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.

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

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.000
and a Max-sized battery. The most interesting new features

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.920
start with the revamped camera system. The base model now has two rear cameras,

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.320
unlike the previous generation iPhone XR, which only had one.

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

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:55.320
as much of your surroundings and capture things that are happening outside the frame,

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,

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.

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:11.000
Apple also says that regular shots will utilize data from all three cameras

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.320
to create a better-looking final product. Regardless of which iPhone model you go with,

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:18.440
there's also a new night mode that uses software processing

00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:22.960
to keep those tricky low-light photos from turning out way too dark or blurry.

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.040
Another big change on the outside is the variety of colors the iPhone now comes in.

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,

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,

00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:42.360
and silver options, but also add a new midnight green color.

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.960
Around the other side, the screen-to-body ratio remains nearly identical

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.000
to last generation, with the notch making what is hopefully

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.640
its last appearance before the final curtain falls on its short and unappreciated career.

00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.860
Once again, the base model comes equipped with an LCD display,

00:01:57.860 --> 00:02:00.860
while the Pro models get upgraded OLEDs

00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:05.900
that are apparently more power efficient. The exterior has also been fortified

00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:09.340
with Apple claiming that both the front and back glass

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:14.860
are more scratch resistant than past generations, and that they've added better water resistance.

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:19.320
They're now boasting 30 minutes of resistance at two meters of depth for the basic,

00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:22.700
or four meters if you pick up the Pro models.

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,

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

00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:38.420
used in flagship Android phones. This should help with the iPhone's photo

00:02:38.420 --> 00:02:43.900
and video processing. Apple also claims that the A13 is 20% faster

00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:47.820
than the previous generation for gaming and augmented reality.

00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:52.260
And there's also machine learning accelerators incorporated onto the A13,

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

00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:01.800
those advanced camera features that we discussed. Speaking of chips, this time around,

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.020
there's another chip simply called U1

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

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

00:03:16.220 --> 00:03:21.120
or send files using AirDrop simply by pointing one iPhone at another,

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.500
which doesn't sound like much,

00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:28.620
but kind of like when Apple added a compass, it appears that additional capabilities

00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:33.220
will be coming in the future, especially once they open it up to third party developers.

00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:37.840
On the subject of the future, the new iPhones don't come with 5G support.

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

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:46.660
in the form of Wi-Fi 6, which you can learn more about right up here.

00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:50.300
You get support for Dolby Atmos for better sound while using headphones,

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.620
and you get an optional fast 18 watt charger

00:03:53.620 --> 00:03:57.020
if you wanna clobber your battery with electrons during a quick top-up

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

00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:09.140
thanks to both larger battery capacities and, according to Apple, their most efficient SoC ever.

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

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.580
for the photo enthusiasts with a nice little price drop on the low end.

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,

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

00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:34.100
if you use your phone for getting them influencer-level shots,

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.

00:04:38.380 --> 00:04:41.620
