iPhone 11 Pro Max vs iPhone XS Max | CAMERA SHOOTOUT By Moment

Reporting live from moment, 98 5. This is an iPhone 11 Pro first tennis max review. Alright, guys welcome to our video about the iPhone 11 Pro we're excited to be one of the first ones on the internet, one of the first ones, you've watched very first and be the first ones to dive into this camera, and now the video. What's up everybody, it's your boys, Nile's and Caleb. Don't know why I said that we are here with another video about the iPhone 11 Pro, we're stoked. We are gonna.

Do a shootout today between the 11, Pro and last year's model, the 10s backs turned towards the little more so fire Lily, oh good Bowie. You know a Snickers bar. So the main question that we want to answer in this video is: is it worth the upgrade? The 10s max was a cool phone. The 11pro seems to have a bunch of cool features, but is it well? It's yeah, it's an it's a pro version, but what makes it pro is it worth it the upgrade? Is it worth the money? We know, phones are expensive, so hopefully this video will help. You answer that question.

So usually we go out and shoot a video like a vlog, and we actually just give you our live reactions. What up yeah we out here, but this time we actually went and shot brought the footage back, brought the photos back, and we've been able to look at it. Do some pixel peeping, and so this video you'll get a little more of our critique on how the difference is looking alright. So looking at this first image, we have a shot of the trailhead just getting to the sign and just some trees in the background, and what I noticed first is that the iPhone 11 Pro has a little richer. Colors and the tone overall is slightly warmer dynamic range.

Looked about the same and on this shot the sharpness looks about the same ? in this next shot of a very PNW bathroom. That could also be a mini house with a chimney. We see the 11pro having a little more sharpness in the 10s max you see the greens, the leaves they look a little mushy when, on the 11pro everything's very sharp. The edges are very sharp. I will say that, sometimes, when things are too sharp, it can look a little cheesy.

It can look a little digital. So sometimes we want to find that happy medium, but in this photo, I would give the upper hand to the 11pro just because you can actually see the leaves when you zoom in all right. So before we headed up the trail, I had to get a portrait shot of Nile's and his baby girl, look portrait mode on the iPhone and defaults to the telephoto lens, the iPhone 11 Pro the option for that wide-angle portrait mode, which is super nice. So comparing the two shots on the regular portrait mode focal lengths between the two phones that the 11pro actually looks a little more natural. It's a lot smoother on the skin tones and there's less grain I think both do a great job, and you can adjust the amount of blur in the background on both phones, so yeah, and they do a great job of edge detection.

I just think the upper hand. A little does go to the 11pro on this one. I, look like such a dad in that photo. Dad bought a wave everybody alright. So when we got to the top, we wanted to test out the time-lapse feature.

This is a feature we don't use a ton, but that when we do use it you just you want the best looking image. This is a huge win for the 11pro. The 10s max looked pretty bad. It was a little lower light. You know Mary's shooting into the light as well yeah.

We were shooting like innocent harsh light and the light was changing a lot, but the 11pro looks a lot better. It's not perfect, but in this case in that setting the 11 post time-lapse stuff, it looks better. This whole video is shot in the native app. We have obviously the moment Pro camera app. We have third-party apps, we shoot in similar to time-lapse mode, there's, probably ones that export in 4k or have more control, but this native only so looking at this first shot here of the view of the lake, and you got some logs going into the water.

You got a nice color in the background guys blue yeah, 11 Pro does take the upper hand. In my opinion, I think it looks a little sharper tones are richer face value, just looking at the photo with the 11pro I would say that it looks a little too over saturated, but when compared to the 10s and Max I, like it a lot more. Basically, if you look at the mountains, and you look at those blues, it looks super mushy on the 10s max which to me just screams, like that's a phone photo when on the 11pro, it's not as bad, and you see a little more detail in those trees. We're going to flip through a few different photos. Now, just while we are up on this height and just do a nice side-by-side comparison, kind of everything holds true to what we've been saying.

While looking at these, the colors are a little richer. There's a little more sharpness and there's a little more shadow, detail. I think yeah I think that's kind of what I'm trying that's what that's. What I'm, seeing the most like the details and the shadows are better on the 11pro wait. What does that button? Do this little? It squeezes it, oh, so that makes it go back to what it was all right.

I'll take this one! You take that one okay, one two! Well, when you look at you so much I'm so jealous. Did we pour some in here from you know if you think we're giving praise entirely to the new 11pro? It's good, but one thing: that's super weird is the actual like the way the lenses are on. The back of the phone is new, like if the little circles there's three baby, but they know they each stick up a little and there's like an edge. What we saw with the Flair's is, unlike any other, iPhone flares it actually, we've never seen it before. It would hit the side of the lens and then in your shot.

You'd get this like Half moon circle, flare, yeah and sometimes there's like rainbows, sometimes like a kind of washout, and it didn't look good and that was only really happening on the 11 on the 11 Pro. Because of this circle like sticky-out, lens design, yeah and flares can be cool, but not always like yeah I want to have the option to have the flare in it or not. Well, that's going to wrap up our photoshoot time here in the mountains back to the house. So after the hike we waited for nightfall. So we could go test.

Low-Light dude. What is up? What's up Stoker's just out here, some low-light is a big feature that Apple was pushing on the iPhone 11 Pro, so we had to put it to the test and all the other iPhones haven't really done amazing in low-light they're, not terrible, but they haven't had a dedicated night mode feature mode. We went to a classic 24 hours, a donut shop in Everett Washington and just got shooting. Ok, so overall, a couple of things to note with night mode. You really should use a tripod if you want the best results, because what you're doing is essentially letting the shutter like be open for a little longer, and it blends a couple different images that it processes together.

So even in this shot right here that you can see of Nile's, it looks amazing, but he moved just a tiny bit like the camera was on a tripod, but his face is a little blurry because he moved. But you can see the background looks awesome all the lights. It just really draws in a lot of light, so I think it does do a perfect job compared to last year's model compared to all the other iPhones really, but the 10s max. As you can see here, it doesn't do as well, it's a little more grainy, and it doesn't have that like depth, the low-light look to it. The other thing to note is when we were pointing the phones directly at the donut shop.

There's a lot of just harsh, not even harsh, but ambient light coming off the lights from the donut shop. It wasn't able to actually put it into like long exposure night mode, so I think unless the phone is detecting that there's like no harsh light source, it's not gonna, let even though it was on the tripod, it still didn't. Let it do its like long exposure deal. My biggest gripe with night mode is basically how auto it is. It was seemingly kind of clunky to use.

Basically when I live, we don't like the UI is kind of funky, so when I would click it and slide it over like three seconds that was the max I could do I feel like they should. Just let me go to 30 seconds, but if I want to and blow it and blow it out, and maybe I want to bracket some photos and I want to expose for the sky and then the building dude. Can you bless me? No? No! No. We also popped it over to video mode just to see how it handled in low light, low light video test. Here we have the 11pro how's, it looks 10 s max.

You can see how both phones look pretty crappy in this low of light, so I would recommend highly to get good light when you're shooting video on your phone I mean the other xi does better like. If this is just the test between the two, the 11 looks quite a bit better in, but it's like, but it's like negligibly better, like the both are still pretty bad yeah in the words of a filmmaker friend, Jakob Blanc. If it already is gonna, look crappy just make it look worse, just crank the grain like just edit that thing and make it look worse. Yeah, like if it's going to look bad make it look awful, and then it's hard all right. So now, let's get into the video comparison section of this shootout, we went and rented a boat just kidding.

It was my parents, arms up on the boat like take your shirt off dude. Let's go alright! What's up guys, we are out here on the boat. We probably already told you what we're doing so. I'll just cut right to it. We're going to test some video on the 11 Pro and the 10s max.

Oh dude, you were nice enough to. Let us go out on the boat drive us around, and really we just wanted some action, because the way we shoot a lot, a video I mean whether it's regular still life or it's action. We want. We just figure. You try to feel like GoPro yeah for the video portion of these tests, so we just like to go, have fun and do things that we enjoy I've never been wake surfing, but it made for a good scene.

So we shot 4k 24 frames per second on both phones, 4k 60 frames per second just to see the main two differences, and then we shot 1080 240, because both phones support that between both devices. None of the frame rates on videos have changed, except for that front-facing camera right, selfie, camera test, how's, the audio. If you're looking to vlog on your phone, the 11pro is probably one of the better phones for that all right, so we were out on the boat, and we had the phones rigged up side by side. So framing again, like I said earlier, it might be a tiny bit off, but the rig this is no gimbals. This is stabilized just by hand the hand yeah.

So what the things that are most important to us in video I would say, are dynamic range and the colors that you get out of the camera and I would say the 11pro. It looks better I think. For me, the skin tones is a huge difference. Maker I think the 11th row is a little more peachy. It's a little more natural when the 10s max was always a little red like if you shot sunset or if you were shooting someone in harsh light on their face.

Like there's this kind of like washout red weirdness on their face that I just didn't like it all and the 11pro, they seem to fix that. It's weird: how every year of the phone, like something small like that you can change in like Apple, obviously won't make a big deal about, like we've improved like skin tones and all that it's like the little things that we look for with, like our phones as cameras, like are those things. A frame rate that I was super impressed with was 4k 60 on the 2x. It looks really nice, yeah and I. Think the 2x is a nice lens because it kind of takes away that traditional iPhone focal length and it punches in.

So it looks a little more cinematic, I kind of liked that I thought it was I, don't know I just out it look nice yeah, I, think overall, if you're shooting on the 10s max, and you have that as your main camera, and you want to shoot on it, not talking selfie lens, but the main back camera. If you can just shoot good light, I think you're totally fine go to the slow boat, slo-mo still trash. So we are out here a nice bright sunny day going behind the boat. The slo-mo still looks like garbage I, don't know, I, don't know why it just looks like a bad image. That's just like cranked contrast, cranked sharpness, trying to fix it.

Okay, like I, don't really think, there's a difference in says it's 1080p, but it does not look like up scaled like 360 P. It is fun if you just like. We put the footage on our computer, we're looking at a nice big display. That's when the that's. When you can really tell like how it's going to be nestled people yeah, you can pixel peep there yeah.

If you shoot 240 on your phone, it looks okay like I've, shot skating, and you have fun still and if you just are putting that on Grahame like on Twitter, nice and small yeah I so wanted that, but now I think in general. We're we're coming at this review from a little more like. Let's look at the footage. An over ticket last thing, I will say with video. The 11pro has a juiced-up battery which, if you're, using this phone as like your main video camera, for instance, videos traditionally something that drains your phone really fast, noticeably different, better battery life.

Also, the screen is much brighter. So if you are shooting and like direct sunlight on the 10s max times as hard to see your screen, but now with the 11pro, because there are more nits, there's more brightness, it's easier to see when you're shooting in direct sunlight I was talking to Patrick, Tomas um, and we're just waiting for someone to come up with a third-party app where you can use your phone as like. An external like an external recorder, has like an external monitor for your camera. Thanks for sitting through this I know a little longer video a little different format overall, would you go great? What do we think? What do we think hold on? What do you upgrade? Is it worth it? I have already upgraded, hey, I, upgraded I. Think part of it's not upgrade is just because we work in the phone space, so it's almost a force function of being in these industries.

You have to upgrade, but I will say: I was a little hesitant at first, my 10 s was great, but I am really enjoying this phone, like the super wide on here is just a fun lens. I dig that the selfie cameras a little better now just for like vlogging, so like yeah, no seriously because like for vlogging clips of. Like me, my wife, my baby, that's super fun and I do think. The colors are cool and yeah battery life. The brightness I do think it's worth the upgrade if you're like Nile's was saying in this kind of creative space with tech at all, I do actually think it's worth it and if you, and if you want to shoot on your phone a lot, if you want to use your phone as a filmmaking tool as a photography tool, then I would say upgrade because it's a smartphone that can do a lot of other things other than shoot.

But what it shoots now is really impressive, and if you think about it like, if you own this phone outright, the 10s max, you could probably sell it. You know get about halfback going into the next one. So if you think about upgrades, how like camera bodies were more like someone had the a7 a7s2, it's just one of those things that if you are in it, if you're not in it, and you've, had this phone like you're like I finally got this phone last year, I'm loving camera, it's got, 4k 24, 4k 60 shoots all the same photo features. It doesn't have a super wide, but you can get moment lenses for it, and literally we want to do a video about that after moment. Lenses with this in a lot of ways, because the aperture is still that F 1.8 is better than the super wide in low-light situations and different stuff. Alright, so we've been grinding on this video for a couple of days.

Caleb's going to go edit. This beast right now, thanks for watching, if you guys have any questions or any concerns. Let us know in the comments below I'm concerned: yeah pre-order, your iPhone. If you are upgrading pre-order, your iPhone 11 moment case right now, I hated how that looked, and it's already growing on me, nice I, don't know how Apple does that I think they just they look they just like they've hypnotized me into liking, whatever they make, but truly like. Actually, that is still kind of ugly.

You be like our only feeling you change a straight ticket.
