Now, let's get on with the video how's it going. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. This is the iPhone 11, as you can see, I have both new colors in the building, so I have the purple and I have the new green color.

This is, of course, the follow-up to the iPhone 10 R, which was the so-called budget model for last year's releases. So let's go ahead and get it on box. Here we go with the purple one we'll just peel the wrapper off like that, and we'll slide the wrapper out of the way. Alright. So let's take the box off there.

We go folks. This is the iPhone 11 in purple, just pull up like that and now inside the box, you see the getting started information, your typical design by Apple in California packet, and then you have your air pot, I'm, sorry, ear pots, and then you have your five watt power adapter. So you don't get the faster adapter inside the iPhone 11 box, like you, do the iPhone 11 Pro. So there are those ear pods. You also have a lightning the USB cable, typical iPhone unboxing here so inside the packet.

You get your getting started guide, so it gives you some basic general tips on how to use your phone, and then you get a sim eject tool, and you also get some regulatory information and of course, you get your Apple stickers all right. So another thing, I noticed you get this cute little indention on the top of the box for the square camera housing on the iPhone 11, so you do get color matched iPhone text, color matched Apple logo, and this is the 64 gigabyte model. Now we also have the green version here. That's another new color for this year, so we're gonna just take the wrapper off like this, and we'll take the box off. There is our green iPhone 11, which one do you think looks better.

Let me know down below in the comments. Obviously, everything inside the box is going to be the same, so we're not going to go through all that again, and one interesting thing: I noticed when comparing the boxes for this year's models versus last year's models, you'll notice that the phone is the first thing you see only iPhone 11, whereas the getting started guide packet is the first thing you see on the iPhone 10 are so Apple wants you to see that phone immediately now on the iPhone 11? Now you also notice that there is no plastic protector on the rear of the iPhone like an iPhone releases past, which is a good thing, you're reducing waste. That way now, let's go ahead and get the front screen protector, peeled off just like that. Alright! So let's talk about the 10 our last year, the 10 are started at 750 dollars went all the way up to 899, but this year the iPhone 11 starts at just $6.99 and goes up to 849, so you're getting more phone for your money, which just usually doesn't happen with Apple releases. Now the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro max cost significantly more starting at $9.99, going all the way up to 14 49, so you're saving a lot more money with the iPhone 11. This is the phone to get.

In my opinion, you get those new colors, you get the purple. You get the green I. Personally, like the look at the iPhone 11, it's a much more attractive phone than I, initially imagined it would be yeah and I think most people. This is the phone for them. Given the price and given the feature set.

Now, let's talk about some other little details. You have a reposition, Apple logo, so notice on the 10r, the Apple logos up high, but now it's smack in the middle on the iPhone 11 to help Ben, let's out that rectangular camera housing now, there's also no iPhone text at the bottom again in an attempt to balance out the look of the rear of the phone now. One good thing is that the iPhone 11, even though it has more features a new camera. It's the same size and weight of the iPhone 10 R, which I thought was reasonable, a manageable size at 6.1 inches for that display, so outside that camera housing everything looks exactly the same on all size of the iPhone 11 when compared to the iPhone 10 are now I have to admit. I was skeptical about the look of the camera housing on the iPhone 11, but thankfully it doesn't really look anything like those mock-ups from earlier, but it looks perfect, especially because you get a color matched matte finish on the back of that camera housing as you can see there, and it really contrasts well with that glossy finish on the back of the rest of the phone, so I think the camera housing they did a perfect job with it.

I, don't think you can really make something like that. Look any better! The iPhone 11 gives you 1 hour of extra battery life when compared to the 10r, which is significant, because last year's 10r was already the best iPhone from a battery light perspective. Although the pro is even better now, speaking of pro, the 13 CPU inside the iPhone 11 is the same CPU you find inside the iPhone pro. So that means the baseline iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro are basically going to perform exactly the same from a CPU performance perspective. So let's go ahead and run the Geek bench test on the very right is the iPhone 11 in the middle is the top ROG from last year, the 10s Macs and then on.

The left is the iPhone.10 are now the iPhone.10 are only had three gigabytes of RAM, but you'll notice that the iPhone 11 now has an additional gigabyte of RAM for a total of four gigabytes. So now let's go ahead and run this geek bench test and, of course, we'll speed. This up we're not going to make you wait through this entire test here, and then we'll see the results coming up right about now, so we get the first result there. Obviously the 11 finish: first, you see that multi-core score of 34 39, so that's significant, also single-core 13 26. Absolutely, these will vary a little just each time.

You run if it's going to vary slightly, but this gives you a general ballpark idea of what to expect performance wise, so now we're waiting for the 10s max and the 10 R, which should be coming up here shortly. You see a significantly improved multi-core score and a noticeable bump, a respectable bump in single core performance as well. But here's the thing the a13 pulls this off and at the same time, is way less power-hungry than the a12 there's. Also, significantly improved machine learning capabilities now apples you won ultra-wideband ship appears for the first time in the iPhone 11 and 11 probe, bringing ultra-wideband technology to the iPhone for the very first time now. This allows for a spatial awareness, giving you the ability to point your iPhone or just have it in the vicinity of another u1 enabled device, and it's gonna pop up there for airdrop and let you know that device is close by, so you'll get a little haptic feedback as well to tell you that it's close by its just a really cool introduction into wideband technology.

This is just the beginning: now you're going to get faster face, ID on the iPhone 11 according to Apple, but in my testing I think this is just mainly an iOS 13 thing. The speeds are exactly the same here when I tested the iPhone 10 R and the iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 supports spatial audio. Here is the iPhone 10 R and watching spider-man, which supports Dolby Atmos. Now, when I watch it on the iPhone, 11 I definitely noticed enhance sale.

No, it doesn't sound like real, surround sound, but it's definitely improved. Speaking of improvements. There is networking enhancements with the iPhone 11. You know you get a bit class LTE and you also get 802 11 a tech support or aka Wi-Fi 6 support for those upcoming Wi-Fi 6 enabled routers in iOS.13 also gives you WPA 3. Now the iPhone 10 are featured water resistance up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes, but the iPhone 11 doubles the depth capabilities, providing up to 30 minutes of water resistant for up to 2 meters.

Obviously this isn't 2 meters, but it's a nice demonstration of the water resistance capabilities. Anyway, don't do this, but if you happen to do this, if you happen to drop your phone in the toilet or drop it in the sink chances, are it's going to be a-ok the iPhone 11 wide-angle camera features many of the same characteristics as the wide-angle camera on the 10r. That's a 26 millimeter wide angle, lens, f, 1.8, aperture, 12 megapixels, but on this year's model you now get a hundred-percent phase. Detection focus pixels, which is going to give you improve autofocus and better low-light capability, as you can see here, less noise on the iPhone 11, but obviously the big deal this year is the presence of that ultra-wide camera that second camera in that camera housing. That is what sets it apart and changes.

The game here is the wide shot. Here's an ultra-wide shot notice, the huge difference, so here's a wide shot and here's an ultra-wide shot here is a wide shot. Here's an ultra-wide shot. No doubt it's a massive improvement, especially for outdoor photography. Now you also get a slightly larger and brighter true tone.

Flash it's going to be brighter in both flash mode and flashlight mode, and you're going to notice a redesigned camera app on the iPhone 11, so the 10r is on the right. The iPhone 11 is here notice. Little subtle differences like the shutter buttons are different and Apple, as you notice, even change the font for the camera apps different modes. Now, there's also a zoom out button which we'll talk about in a second that allows you to use the ultra-wide camera, they'll notice, the front-facing camera button. That's changed.

You also have new UI at the top of the display new UI for dart photography or low-light photography. This is just a completely redesigned camera app, and you also will notice that the frame itself, the viewfinder, is different. Now you can actually see outside the viewfinder, which there's a reason for that. I'll talk about that a little later as well. So you saw that zoom button or is not really a zoom, it's more of a zoom out button that allows you to take advantage of that wide-angle camera, and you can see how it sort of seamlessly switches between the two.

Now one thing I didn't notice is that the cameras aren't exactly the same from a color reproduction perspective. You're going to see minor color differences between those two cameras but is fairly seamless. Apple did a perfect job with the software here. We'll talk all about that in our full review of the iPhone 11 soon to come. Now, if you swipe up you get additional UI, a lot of things are hidden here, so you have your night mode settings we'll talk about that as well.

You have your live, photo settings now, there's a live auto option, so it will automatically determine when to use a live photo or when not to, and you can also change up your aspect ratio. Remember there used to be that standalone square, shooting mode photos now, no more! You can find all that within this submenu here. So that's really nice. You can switch between four three, sixteen by nine or one by one and then there's also your timer and your filters as well. Now, let's switch over to landscape mode, so I can better illustrate to you the different framing options here on the iPhone 11, so notice how the frame of the ultra-wide view disappears when I put my hand in front, because it's focusing on that hand it's an up-close shot, and it knows that it will result in a very bad looking photo like when you try to use the ultra-wide camera indoors without the necessary amount of light.

It's not going to perform very well, so the iPhone automatically says: hey. Let's just stick to the wide-angle camera in that instance. So you also have some new composition tool options here. You'll see the ability to capture outside the frame for photos, videos and to auto apply adjustments when editing. Let me show you what I mean by that: okay, so I took a photo and this photo was taken with the wide-angle camera, not the ultra-wide camera, but it captured ultra-wide data, so basically it'll pull in the data from the ultra-wide camera sensor so that I'm able to use it in my editing, workflow we'll have more on this.

In a future video, if you like to shoot low light photos but hate the look that you get from a flash, the unnatural look that a flash produces, then you're going to love night mode on the iPhone 11. So let me show you how to use it. First, let me show you this environment I have a candle, that's going to be my source of light, so it's not going to be able to shoot in the dark, but we're going to get close, and when are you Semi to turn off all the lights? And now the only source of light is that candle, which isn't a lot? As you can see here. So once those lights go off, you see, night mode is enabled automatically. So you there's nothing.

You have to do to enable night mode. It knows it's dark. It's going to turn all night mode for you, but it's good to know that you can manually enable night mode or adjust the long exposure settings. If you wish to do so all right. So now, let's go ahead and compose our shot.

You can see I'm going to change it to auto mode. Alright. So want to focus on this keyboard in the background, take a shot, and you can see that long exposure, so you want to hold the camera still or the iPhone still, while it's taking that photo with night mode enabled, if you don't is gonna, be blurry now I took another photo with the flash, and we're going to compare. So this is what the light zone you can see how the keyboard looks in the background looks pretty good. Alright, this is with just the candlelight, so no flash no night mode, so this is with the flash.

Obviously terrible- and this is with night mode, so you can tell the difference is huge there. It doesn't look like daylight, but it looks perfect. Considering we were just shooting by candlelight. You can even make out some details on the monitor in the background, and this wasn't even a good environment. This was actually a pretty terrible environment, but it still performed well another new iPhone, 11 camera app features is quick.

Take so now, instead of having to switch over to video mode to take a video when you're shooting photos, you can save time and perhaps catch that precious moment right from photo mode in the camera. App so say, you're taking photos, I'm, just gonna snap, a few shots and I want to take a video. You simply press and hold on the shutter button, and now you can see it's taking a video. You could see the timer at the top and when I'm done just release and the video stops so press and hold video goes release. Video stops now, if I slide to the right, while holding quick, take, will lock in the video mode, and it'll just continuously shoot video until you unlock it or press the stop button, you can also take photos, while in video mode, so I'm going to slide back over and complete my video just like that.

Now what about burst mode? You may be thinking well they've, thought of that as well. You simply press the shutter button slide to the left instead of the right and that will initiate burst mode portrait mode on the iPhone 10, our, which is in my hand right now. What's nice, but here's the thing it only worked with people, not cats, not dogs, not even stuffed animals, but here with the iPhone 11, which I have in my hand right now. You can see the portrait mode works with inanimate objects, cats, dogs, etc. , and thanks to iOS, 13 upgrades portrait mode gets an additional boost on the iPhone 11.

So when we edit this photo, of course, you can change the portrait effect in new and iOS 13. You can change the portrait lighting intensity and this is not new, but of course you can change the aperture to adjust the background blur. Let's go back to our portrait lighting, so, like I said you can change the portrait lighting intensity using this little slider here, and you'll also find a new portrait mode effect, which is called high key light mono at the very end right here, so just play around with the different effects and find the one you like. The best the new audio zoom feature literally makes it, so you can zoom into your audio. Listen.

The iPhone 11 gives you Forte's 60 frames per second video capture across not just one camera, not just two cameras, but all three cameras that includes the tree: death front-facing camera as well. You know like I, always say: I can show you better than I can tell you, so I'm going to show you here: it is the wide-angle camera you see in the upper right hand, corner 4k, 60 frames per second, let's switch to the ultra-wide camera. You see again, 4k 60 frames per second, let's switch to the front-facing, true def camera. What are we gonna? Have there 4k 60 frames per second, and for the first time you now get 4k 60 frames per second cinematic video stabilization notice, only iPhone 11, how much smoother it is. Thanks to that cinematic video stabilization, whereas the iPhone 10 are when you're shooting in 4k 60, it's a little wobbly, I have to admit it's a little wobbly so that iPhone 11 is gonna, be a little better equipped to handle running gun.

Video capture situations extended dynamic range was capped on the iPhone.10 are at 30 frames per second on the iPhone 11 extended dynamic range is supported up to 60 frames per second in this video you can tell, especially in the highlights smart HDR on the iPhone 10 R was good. It blended the best parts of separate exposures into a single photo, and this is good for capturing photos with extreme highlights and shadows on the iPhone 11. Smart HDR is even better. It's so much better. That Apple no longer includes the option to keep the normal photo when using smart HDR.

Now the 12 megapixel, true death camera gets a significant upgrade over the old camera and the iPhone 10 R, which is only 7 megapixels. You also notice that the new camera on the iPhone 11 has a wider native 23 millimeter focal length. This combined with that extra 5 megapixels of resolution allows that camera to crop in for its default view, and then, when you want to zoom back out to the native focal length, you just tap the little zoom button right there on the interface above the show. Now this front-facing camera, as mentioned earlier, also has the ability to shoot in 4k at 60 frames per second, and you see the difference in focal length between the two on video. Now here's a cool feature when you place the phone into landscape mode, while viewing with the true death camera, it will automatically zoom out so to speak in order to fit a group of friends in the frame and then, of course, there is, for the very first time the ability to take slow-motion videos with the front-facing true depth camera.

So you can go into slo-mo mode, and now you're going to find the option to switch between the rear and front facing camera. So let's do so right now, alright! So let's take a video in slo-mo mode and I: don't have long hair. So that's not gonna work, so I'm, just going to wave this towel around in front of the camera. Alright! So now we're going to watch it and see what it looks like. So there we go, there's all hundred and twenty frames of slow-motion goodness just like that.

So, ladies and gentlemen, that has been our hands-on look at the top features for the iPhone 11 stay tuned for much much much more coverage. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
