iPhone XR vs. iPhone 11 - Should You Upgrade?? By JSL Review

What is going on everyone. My name is Jason, and this is the iPhone 10, our iPhone 11 comparison. So one of the best things Apple did in 2018 was introduced. The iPhone 10 honor a device that differentiated itself by offering a lower price tag, but gave you around 98% of the same user experience and no doubt the 10r was an absolute hit, far outselling all other iPhones available and beating most other phones period in the first half of 2019 and for good reason, because the 10r to me was one of the best value. I phone, I've remained as it's a joy to use and really doesn't have any major concessions. Now, whether you bought one yourself or are thinking about doing so.

What you're likely doing in your head is comparing the 10r to the next iteration of that phone die phone 11, launched in September 2019 pebble is in no way to gain its phone off of the accessible iPhone it debuts to your prior and the iPhone.11 is indeed a compelling device and in case you're contemplating whether you should upgrade, or you're on the fence between both devices thought I'd put together. This comparison review to help answer the question: is the iPhone 11 worth it now before we get into the review, if you're into checking out the latest consumer tech products before you buy them or if you're, just a tech it is like me, I make a video like this every single week, so make sure that you hit that subscribe button and turn on that Bell icon. So you could be the first to know when a new general video out, and you don't miss anything and real, quick I know this is random, but I'm always curious to know if you have either the 10r or the iPhone 11, which color did you go with and if you're planning on picking either one up soon. What color are you going with curious to know which color is the most popular? Let me know in the comments down below okay. First up when it comes to physical design, there's really not much to talk about in terms of differences because they're almost identical, they both come in the exact same dimensions and weight.

They both implement a glass on glass design with an aluminum frame sandwiched in the middle and they both come in Apple's array of more vibrant colors. Well, the difference here is that the 10r is available in coral and blue colors not found on the 11 and the 11 is available in purple, and this mint green vice-versa not available on the 10, are the only real glaring physical difference between both phones are the camera housings, whereas the 10r has a single lens rear camera. That's integrated into the glossy back panel own, the iPhone 11 has a vertical dual camera setup on a dedicated square. Frosted glass, camera housing now we'll get into the whole camera differences a little later in this video, but speaking strictly from a looks' perspective. I think the 10r is cleaner, with its single integrated camera design, I've always questioned why Apple decided to use the square camera housing on the iPhone 11, when it only has two cameras instead of three, though it's not ugly, it comes off gratuitous and unbalanced, with every other design element of the phone when it comes to the overall look and feel, but let's face it, even though it's the biggest difference between the two phones in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty minor, and they're, essentially the same phones physically in the hand and in that regard both are excellent.

The glass on glass design gives both phones that premium look and feel the colored aluminum frames have released to the test of time to maintain a playful, yet sophisticated, look and there's no debating that both phones are flagship quality when it comes to physical, build and design execution. So it kind of makes sense that Apple wouldn't stray too far away from the Tanners design when putting together the 11, as it was so well done in the first place. So if we transition to both the 10r and the Elevens display it's a similar story, even more so because this time they are legit exactly the same. No difference is whatsoever. They are both rocking a 6.1 inch, liquid retina LCD coming in at a resolution of 1792 by 858, making for about 326 pixels per inch both have a 1400 to 1 contrast ratio, both support the p3 color gamut and have true tone capability and both support, HDR 10 content. So yes, when you boil it down, both phones have Apple's controversial.

Subtend ATP display a factor that some deem unacceptable for a phone to have in this day and age. Then look I'm, not gonna, sit here and defend it by saying it's an amazing display, especially in 2020, but I've, always been very forward in saying that the display on both of these phones are totally fine for the majority of the people who are looking to buy them. Images still come off sharp bright and vibrant the day-to-day user experience is in no way hindered due to the sub 1080p resolution and even HD video content comes off really nice sure. It's not the best display out there and the display on the 11pro and other flagships will be better but undeviating date difference when it comes to image. Quality like you'd, see on something like a 50-inch TV and honestly, it's totally fine and still very enjoyable from an end-user standpoint.

All in all, the displays on both the 10 R and the 11 are exactly the same preparer for worse, depending on where you're coming from, but ultimately nothing that will impact your decision between the two okay. So, let's talk performance. The key difference here is that the iPhone 10 R is equipped with Apple's second generation 812 Bionic chip, while the 11 is powered by Apple's third gen 8 13 Bionic. Now, yes, the 13 is going to be logically better in the long run compared to the 2 as it's more powerful, but you're not going to see a noticeable difference in day-to-day used anytime soon. This is because the 8 12 is still a piece of a processor and has the legs to comfortably carry the ten are pretty deep in terms of Paul's lifespan.

So yes, the iPhone 11 may last you a bit longer, but the 10 R is in no way a slouch in comparison and still will be able to last you a while before it really starts to slow down. Another minor difference here is that the 10r maxes out at 128 gigabytes of internal storage, while the 11 can be up to 256 and though the tenor was praised as one of the best phones for battery life in 2018, Apple stepped it up with the 11, giving it about an extra hour of battery life overall, which is pretty impressive. Even though it's not a major increase. Another minor difference between the two phones, while the 10r is ip67 water-resistant, allowing the devices 5 30 minutes under one meter of water. The 11 is ip68 water-resistant belonging for around 30 minutes under 2 meters of water, both use face ID is a primary biometric security measure and both perform exactly the same, and both have stereo speakers.

One for n got the rear and the other three-year piece, but the 11 does support Dolby Atmos. All this to say that the difference is covered here. Aren't really that big of differentiators between both bones as Moses stuff covered is likely going to go unnoticed by most users, but there are iterative improvements from a performance standpoint to the iPhone 11. Much like you would expect, but nothing to the point where I would say: one phone is significantly better than the other. So at this point you may be wondering just exactly what is the big difference between the 10 R and the 11, given the long list of similarities? Well, the biggest difference between these two phones is going to be in their cameras.

Let's start off with the front facing camera, the tenor is equipped with a 7 megapixel, true depth, front-facing camera that supports 1080p, video, recording it at 30 or 60 frames per second, the 11 is upgraded with a 12 megapixel, true depth, camera that supports 4k, video recording at under 20 or 30 or 60 frames per second now, as far as image quality is concerned, both are great and I, wouldn't say that the 11 is noticeably better. Both do not standing Java selfies their portrait mode performance is the same. Now. The bigger difference is gonna, be in the video quality, with the jump to 4k the 11 shoots noticeably sharper front-facing video. Now this could be of importance to you if you do a lot of video on Instagram or TikTok as your going to get better quality out of the 11, but if you're not into that whole front-facing video thing, the terror is still quite capable.

Now we're looking at the rear cameras. The most jarring difference, which you mentioned a bit earlier, is pretty obvious, while both the 10 are and the 11 have a single F, 1.8 aperture wide-angle primary shooter, the 11 also has a secondary F 2.4, ultra wide-angle camera, something completely absent on the 10r and personally I, really like the wide-angle lens I. Think it's way more useful and enjoyable than a 2 x, telephoto, zoom, lens, and I'm. Glad Apple went this direction because being able to take wider landscape shots and just get more into the frame is really nice and Apple did a perfect job. With this lens, it's accurate and the color science is well-matched with the primary camera making for good consistency between the two.

Now is it a make or break feature, probably not for most, but it's a great to have and arguably the biggest feature that differentiates the iPhone 11 from the 10 arm. Now, when comparing image quality for the main camera, but do a pretty great job, the tenor was a phone that first debuted Apple's smart HDR, a noticeable step up in computational image, processing and the pictures are able to take with this phone are, superb images are sharp, colors are bright and vibrant and the dynamic range is excellent and though the 11 boasts having the ability to leverage the next generation. Smart, HDR and diffusion Apple's latest updates to their image processing capabilities, you're, probably not gonna notice, any obvious difference between both phones when it comes to image, quality overall sure, if you pinch in and really nitpick yes, the iPhone 11 will probably give you a better image, but again not to the point. What you'll say it's significant unless it was taken in low-light, one of the biggest differences you're gonna notice is the iPhone 11s improvement in low-light photography, as it supports Apple's night mode feature, something that the 10r doesn't have and makes for a big difference. When it comes to low-light image, quality I mean you can see.

The difference is significantly noticeable and really there's no way the 10r can compete here when it comes to video, both phones can shoot 4k, video in 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. The stabilization of both cameras are class-leading, and you're, going to notice any major differences here and that's not a bad thing, because both are able to shoot incredible video, arguably the best on any smartphone right now, and it's nothing you're gonna, miss out on by going with or sticking with the iPhone 10 are so at the end of the day. The area in which you're going to see the most differences between the 10r and the iPhone 11 is the cameras and even though I like all the additions and the updates that are on the new iPhone, it's hard for me to say that anything here makes the 11 a no-brainer type of decision when it comes to upgrading I mean the Tanners. Camera is so close in quality and is still so extremely capable. The addition of a wide-angle lens and 4k video on the front facing camera super nice, don't get me wrong, but something I think I could personally live comfortably without, so I.

Guess that begs the bigger question: is it worth upgrading to the iPhone 11? Well, that depends on me. If you already have an iPhone 10, our I would say: hold off the iPhone.11 is a better phone, and it's something I'm fairly confident you'll enjoy, but at the end of the day, most of the additional features are novel and don't add critical value to what you already have in your hand, you're better off thinking it out until later this year to see what Apple drops in 2020. As it's a year in which the iPhone should go through a design overhaul, but if you're on an older iPhone trying to decide between the two, that's a different story in that case, I would go with the iPhone 11 and the main reason here is price. The iPhone 11 is only $100 more expensive than the 10 all right now, and it's a relatively small investment to get an overall, better phone that will last you longer. I would also give the same advice, though, if you can hold onto your older iPhone for a bit longer until later this year to see what Apple comes up with it may be more exciting than what's available today, and even if it's not, you'll likely see the price drop on both of these phones, making them more accessible, but hey totally get that these are just my thoughts and I want to hear what you guys think, which one would you guys go with the iPhone 10 R or the iPhone 11? Let me know what you guys are thinking in the comments down below.
