Unboxing the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max By CNET

Apples got three new iPhones: two of them have the word Pro in them, one doesn't the iPhone 11, Pro and 11 Pro Max, or right here, and I'm, going to unbox them now. Here's what you need to know about the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro max they're, really step up. Fancier versions of the iPhone 11, with a couple extra features that you may or may not be interested in. One of them is that third camera, which is pretty prominent, that's a telephoto. The iPhone 11 doesn't have that the rest of it is about the finish stainless steel. It's also got that OLED display, which is even better than the previous version on the iPhone 10s and 10s max added water resistance.

Those are the big advantages, a lot of the other stuff. You can get any other phone. You can save a few hundred dollars. Let's take a look at these boxes and, let's see what's inside, so I've got both models here: two sizes, 512 gigabytes. Let's start with the iPhone 11 Pro, let's open up the box and whew.

There's that camera module, its prominent you'll, have an opinion about it. One way or the other, a lot of people may feel like it's a bit. Much I think it's kind of interesting. Actually, it's definitely taken over the identity of the phone, so there it is these three crazy cameras up there yeah it's a lot of camera and the finish is a frosted glass, because that's one of the things that's different on the 11pro is that now the glass back has a frosted matte finish, which is less fingerprint e the glass over here around the cameras that is still glossy. It's reversed on the iPhone 11.

Why? Because, because that's why? Let's take off the plastic on these phones and know nothing on the back interesting, so this is midnight green, but to my eye right now it kind of looks gray. It's like a gray variant, I like it. It's very space gray like with it with like a slight olive green touch to it. Furthermore, it's funny, because in the demo room this looked more green, and now it's looking more silver I mean these are all metallic finishes: they're, not really bright. Bold colors, like you'll, get on the iPhone, 11 and frankly, I wish they had a few of those on here, but it's muted.

It's fine I kind of liked. If I thought I liked it the most, and now I'm, not so sure, but I like it better on the camera than I do over here, but it's spaced, grayish, and I usually went with Space Gray. So that's the phone you can see over here, no USB see still lightening on all the iPhone models, maybe next year and over here the button. A lot of the rest of the finish feels the same. It's got a have to it.

It's stainless steel I mean the other ones felt it felt heavy. Furthermore, it almost feels like a return to the iPhone 10. The battery capacity is a little bigger on these phones. Battery life is supposed to be a lot better for hours better than last year's iPhone 10s, so yeah, it's its got some density to it. Let's lay that, aside and inside here, the design by Apple in California, slipcase hello, oh wow, interesting new charger, we'll get to that in a second there's, the stuff sim tool, fine print, Apple stickers, nothing different! You know the drill, you've gotten an iPhone recently.

Let's put that aside, let's look at to that charger. Let just get to this charger. Finally, a new charger: this is an 18 watt charger. Finally, a higher power charger in the box. This thing is going to charge a faster.

It looks like the charger that comes with the iPad Pro, but it's not because it has a lightning port here, as opposed to USB, see so headphones. And, let's take a look at what comes with this no I'm wrong. It is your SBC I apologize, surprise, surprise! Well, the good news about this, which actually is really nice, is that you could use to charge other stuff. That's USB, and it comes with a USB, see a lightning adapter which is annoying to purchase separately and at least that comes in the box. Is that a reason to go pro? It's a couple of your dollars to go pro, so I don't know about that, but it's! This is the thing they should be, including with all iPhones that charger right here, so I'm glad they started doing that lightening headphones though same as always, and no more standard, headphone adapter, that's long gone, Lightning, headphones, no air, pods they'll be kind of fun to throw into a pro phone box someday and that's it.

So, let's put this over here and let's take a look at what's in the iPhone 11 Pro max, which is gonna, look very similar, so we'll open this up and there is the other midnight green, but the 6.5 inch display- and these are super Retina DR, which is a mouthful. That's an OLED display, that's supposed to be brighter and richer and better than the previous OLED display. I mean I've already had really great displays, but we'll see how super great it is when we do our testing and give it a run. There's also a spatial audio on this phone. Now, that's supposed to work with a Dolby Atmos and with games and some select games and the app store.

To choose to adopt it, so there's also that it's the camera up here again on all the iPhone models is wider, so you can fit more people in a selfie, and it has slo-mo and all of these three cameras here are 12 megapixels, that's the iPhone 11 Pro max. This is the iPhone 11 Pro 5.8 inches 6.5, inches midnight green and again inside this box. You'll find the made in California stuff, designed by Apple in California, the 18 watt charger the headphones and again the Lightning USB cord, that's what's inside the box. But what about accessories? Well good thing, I told you good thing. You asked because here are some clear cases.

You could keep the phone hanging in your pocket without a case and I would not do that, not for $1000 phone a thousand dollars to start 1099 to start $1,100 to start, so I would get a case. Furthermore, you don't have to get an Apple case. Certainly Apple makes clear cases. Let's take a look. Apple didn't make any clear cases last year for the iPhone, 10s and 10s max, but the 11pro, Max and 11pro clear cases.

Look a lot like the 10r and iPhone 11, clear cases that Apple makes I'm going to open this up, and it's like it's like. It's invisible. Take that out take the 11pro max case. I find 11 Pro max to be a little hard to pronounce. Now, let's get the camera module into the square, push that in there we go do the same for the other.

I feel like the case, and its square makes me realize how large the camera module is shin from the side. That's the way to do it, and that is the iPhone with the case on both of them. Let's turn them on what I'm really excited about with these phones and with all the iPhone 11 models this year is to test out the cameras not only for things like night More, which finally provides that low-light capability that we've been expecting, but also for the video improvements, particularly image stabilization and the future features like deep focus which are gonna, combine, multiple shots to try to create even crisper photos, there's a lot of computational photography going on in the iPhone 11 models, and a lot of that will work similarly across the board. What you're getting here is that extra telephoto camera you got a combined 4x optical zoom between the telephoto pulling back to the ultra-wide there are interesting combinations there I wish telephoto was in the iPhone 11. We can only get it here.

The battery life on these sounds like it's even better than the iPhone 11, based on Apple's reports on battery life. So how will battery life compare? Which one will be king, we'll find out when we do our final review, but that's the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro max, and if you want to compare them to the iPhone 11, which I have here in minty green, you can lay them all side-by-side, and you can see that just like last year, the iPhone 11 falls right in the middle like Goldilocks. It's an in-between size, 6.1, inches I feel like this fits best in my hand, but over time I've come to appreciate the smaller size right here and with better battery life. Maybe that's the one that I would like to have most so: hey, that's the iPhone 11 and the 11pro and the 11 Pro max taken out of their boxes. So you see what the pros have I'm most excited about that charger, finally, being in their stay tuned for the full reviews and a lot more on CNET.
