iPhone 11 vs iPhone 11 Pro Real World Camera Comparison! Are They The Same? By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is Wade with tech daily so last year, with the release of the iPhone 10 R and 10s I made a video which ended up being super popular that showed the surprising differences in pictures between the two phones. All the main camera lens hardware was the same across the devices. The cheaper ten are packed, just the one single camera lens around back. Well, the 10s had an additional telephoto lens for a dual camera setup and ultimately that meant that not only were there certain limitations with the 10r, you couldn't take portrait, pics of objects or animals, for example, but in certain shooting modes, particularly with portrait pictures. The results between the phones were vastly different, so different. In fact, that I felt the ten-hour pictures almost made me unrecognizable in certain situations.

The secondary telephoto lens on the 10s really did wonders in creating a more true-to-life portrait picture and the 10 are having to rely on the software produced, an image that often felt pretty distorted this year. Apple took a very similar approach again with a new iPhone 11, the cheaper colorful replacement to the 10r and the iPhone 11 Pro, which is the upgrade to the 10s. While both of these phones received major camera hardware and software updates, and they both got an additional wide-angle lens. The cheaper iPhone 11 once again lacks that telephoto lens, while the 11 Pro has it, and naturally my immediate question was whether Apple improved the portrait picture, software that produces the images for the iPhone 11 and, if I'd end up looking sort of not like myself with the end result again and that's what we're gonna talk about in this video I'm also going to show some side-by-side samples of all the other picture and video modes too. So you can see for yourself if there's any difference at all between these phones when taking regular old pictures too.

So first things. First, let's talk about the hardware here, and I'll: explain what you get with each phone now around back. Both of these phones have the exact same 12, megapixel, F, 1.8, aperture, 26, millimeter, main camera lens with all the same features, including dual pixel phase, detection, autofocus and optical image stabilization, and what all? That means is that if you pull either of these phones out of your pocket and just snap, a simple picture of the same subject in the same setting you're beginning the exact same result and through hundreds of pictures over the last few weeks now, that's exactly what I saw: shooting regular pictures from the camera app produced the exact same image on both phones when the main lens was used and that's what you should expect inside the camera. App you'll also find the exact same shooting modes, settings controls and features as well. Both phones offer the same night mode that also produces the same result.

I saw some people suggesting for whatever reason that the telephoto lens somehow improves night mode on the 11pro, but I just was never able to see any sort of difference. You can shoot panoramas, of course, and time lapses, and you can edit photos all the same way on both phones. ? for regular picture, taking you're getting the same stuff, whether you spend six hundred dollars on the iPhone 11 or a thousand dollars or more on the 11pro and honestly, that's probably enough for most people for video. Once again, if you're, just shooting, regular old video, you're going to be seeing the same result, ? both phones can shoot 4k at 60fps and super slo-mo videos at 1080p, 240, FPS ?, like I, said. If you just pull your phone out of your pocket and take a standard, video or a slow-motion video, it doesn't matter what device you have either the 11 and the 11 Pro.

The results will be exactly the same now in regard to the new secondary lens that you'll find on these devices. That's a 12 megapixel F, 2.4, aperture, 13, millimeter, ultra-wide shooter and once again that's the same hardware paired with the same software features across both phones and I. Think you'll see the results here are exactly the same, which is to be expected, so hopefully you're still with me. So far, the main camera lens and the ultra-wide camera lens on the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro are the same hardware that are paired with the same software and features no matter what pictures or videos you take. The results will be exactly the same.

This brings us to that third lens. That's found only on the iPhone 11 Pro, it's a 12, megapixel F, 2.0, aperture, telephoto lens. This is a zoom lens that not only allows for a clearer shot when zooming in from a distance, but it's also the secondary hardware lens that comes into play when taking portrait mode pictures. First off. Let's talk about that zoom in the camera, app on the iPhone 11 you'll, one small button that says one X tapping on it once will bring you out to the wide-angle lens and tapping it again brings you back to the standard lens.

The cheaper iPhone 11 does have a zoom feature, of course, and you can zoom in and pictures and video by simply pinching or dragging your fingers on the screen. The iPhone 11 offers up to five x, digital zoom, so the software on the phone is doing all the work and honestly, the results here aren't terrible. You can certainly see things you wouldn't normally see when you zoom in, and I think that's what most people sort of want, but because you're, just relying on the software to do the zooming, rather than a special dedicated lens you're gonna, lose a little detail. You're going to get a bit of noise and overall, the picture isn't going to look as sharp on the iPhone 11 Pro, with its dedicated 3rd telephoto lens you're, going to get two times optical zoom, which means the lens itself. The hardware is doing all the work.

You'll see that set of buttons in app there on the bottom. The point 5x is the wide angle. One is the standard shooting mode and two is the two times optical zoom, so right off the bat you're 2 X optical zoom, using the dedicated lens on the iPhone 11 Pro, should look more crisp and clear with more detail versus the 2 x, digital zoom on the iPhone 11. Furthermore, the iPhone 11 Pro actually offers an even higher zoom up to 10 times digital zoom, since it has that telephoto lens to help things out. So, if you're really trying to be creepy, you can get significantly closer to objects in the distance with the iPhone, 11 Pro and surprisingly, even at 10 X digital zoom.

The results here are still pretty good. Now, like I explained earlier, the telephoto lens also assists with portrait mode pictures. Those fancy looking pictures with a blurred background and shallowed up the field that imitate the look of DSLR cameras with the secondary telephoto lens. The iPhone 11 Pro has some extra hardware assistance to help get the shot right. Well, the iPhone 11 is still once again mainly relying on software to blur the background focus on the subject and get the edges and details correct right away.

What you'll notice, when attempting to take portrait pictures with each of these phones, is that the actual framing of the shot itself is very different. Each phone requires you to and at a different distance from the subject, you'll be shooting and from the same distance. The iPhone 11 Pro really brings that, subject closer to you, while you actually have to be physically closer to your subject to get a similar shot with the iPhone 11 in some instances. This is helpful. You don't have to get as close to things with the 11pro, but actually it also means that if you want to take portrait selfies with the rear camera, for whatever reason you can do so much easier on the cheaper iPhone 11, since things aren't nearly as summed in I.

Realize, though, that not that many people would ever do that, you can just take portrait selfies using the front camera since that's all the same hardware to across the phones, but I just figured I might as well mention that you also see in these pictures that the background of the shots look completely different. If you attempt to shoot your subject and frame the shot similarly on both phones, you'll end up seeing a wider, broader view of the background on the iPhone 11 versus the iPhone 11 Pro, this doesn't necessarily affect the shot per se. But assuming you have something in the background you want to catch like some colors or lights, or something that frames the subject really well, it might be more difficult to get the whole scene around your subjects with the iPhone 11 Pro now, fortunately, in regard to the actual subject of the picture this time around with the cheaper iPhone 11, relying on software I didn't find any sort of distorting or odd result with a portrait picture. Here's what we saw last year with the tennis looking more true to life and the 10r making things look really strange and here's what we get this year, like I, said, while the framing and background of the shots are different. The cheaper iPhone 11 does a nearly perfect job, making things look right, and I'm really happy with the result and oh by the way.

Last year's portrait mode limitations on the 10r are now gone with the iPhone 11, also with the 10. Our Apple stupidly didn't allow you to take portrait mode, pictures of objects or animals or anything other than human faces. This time you can take portrait pics of whatever you want, which is great and once again the results. Look solid, you'll, see that same difference in the background, and you'll have to adjust where you stand and how you frame the shot, but the iPhone 11 at least having that capability brings these phones even closer when comparing them. One last thing to note: if you ever have the chain to hold these devices side-by-side, you will absolutely see a difference when looking at pictures or videos or literally anything else, and that's because the iPhone 11 has that lower resolution LCD screen, while the iPhone 11 Pro, has a much brighter much higher resolution, OLED display everything is going to look different and probably far better on the OLED iPhone 11 Pro.

Even YouTube videos or websites or e-books, but that's just how the content is being shown to you and the difference in the actual display technology. When you take pictures or videos off these phones and put them on your computer to edit them, the images will all look the same. So there you go if you were deciding between the iPhone, 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, and wanted to know more about those fancy. New cameras, I think I covered it all, like I mentioned, with the limitations on last year's 10-hour camera I thought that the differences between that phone and the 10s made the tennis more attractive and probably swayed some people in that direction. This year, honestly, there's not a lot that separates these two devices when it comes to the cameras, and that makes the iPhone 11, probably an even better deal for a lot of people interested in picking up a new phone.
