According to Macworld, the iPhone 11 has sold tens of millions of units in only two years since its release.

In this article, the Carisinyal team will look at the different pros and cons of the Apple iPhone 11, gathering data from a variety of sources to provide a comprehensive overview of this high-end device.

Pros of the Apple iPhone 11

Let's examine all of its features. As a premium smartphone, the iPhone 11 provides many perks. Here are the key features of this device.

1. Impressive Screen Brightness Level

The Apple iPhone 11 boasts a high screen brightness level, making it ideal for viewing photos and videos. According to GSMArena, this phone's display offers excellent performance in this regard.

The image quality of the 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 828 x 1792 pixels is sufficient but not outstanding. The iPhone 11's display also includes an anti-scratch coating, True Tone technology, and a wide color gamut, promising a pleasant video-viewing experience.

2. Tough and Waterproof Design

The Apple iPhone 11's ability to withstand water exposure is evidence of its durable design. This is due to the device's IP68 waterproof certification, which enables it to survive at a depth of 2 meters for up to 30 minutes.

As a result, you can rest assured that your phone will continue to function properly even when you're caught in the rain during your travels.

3. Fastest Chipset in its Class

The Apple iPhone 11 features the powerful Apple A13 Bionic chipset, which was fabricated using a 7nm+ process. This chipset incorporates a hexa-core (six-core) processor with two 2.65 GHz Lightning cores and four 1.80 GHz Thunder cores. Furthermore, the device includes a GPU from Apple with four-core graphics capabilities.

The Apple iPhone 11 with 4 GB of RAM achieves an impressive AnTuTu score of 400,000, as shown in the image below.

This high score demonstrates the device's ability to run graphically intensive games and everyday apps without any problems.

According to DigitalTrends.com, the Apple iPhone 11 can effortlessly run social media applications such as Twitter and Instagram. Apple Arcade games, such as Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm and Skate City, run smoothly and without any issues on the device.

4. Long Battery Life

Apple provided the iPhone 11 with a 3,110 mAh Li-Ion battery. While this capacity may seem small for an Android device, it is perfectly sufficient for an iPhone. According to the results of GSMArena's tests, the iPhone 11's endurance rating is 94 hours.

This smartphone has a talk time of 17 hours and 45 minutes, based on the data. Video playback can last up to 18 hours and 43 minutes, while Internet browsing can take up to 15 hours and 29 minutes.

Apple claims that the iPhone 11 has an hour-longer battery life than the iPhone XR. According to the experience of Digitaltrends writer Julian Chokkattu, the device's battery can last up to a day with 15% remaining at 10 p.m., assuming moderate usage such as internet browsing, YouTube viewing, and responding to notifications.

5. High-Quality Audio

The Apple iPhone 11 features stereo speakers, with one located at the bottom and the other within the earpiece.

According to GSMArena, these speakers produce a balanced sound, and the device produces rich audio with good bass. The audio quality of the iPhone 11 is designed to satisfy all of your needs, from watching videos to listening to music.

6. Impressive Front and Rear Cameras

The Apple iPhone 11 comes equipped with two rear cameras. The primary camera features a 12 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, while the secondary camera has a 12 MP ultra-wide lens with an f/2.8 aperture. The camera setup supports quad-LED dual-tone flash and HDR, as well as video recording at 2160p resolution.

Here are some sample images shot using the iPhone 11:

It's clear that the photo quality is impressive. The device is capable of capturing stunning images in both well-lit and low-light conditions.

According to Mashable SEA, the iPhone 11's camera produces stunning images with realistic colors, a wide dynamic range, and sharp details. Surprisingly, its night mode performance exceeds that of Google Night Sight on Google Pixel devices.

The Apple iPhone 11 features a high-quality front camera in addition to its rear cameras. It has a 12 MP sensor with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 3D camera. This 12 MP front camera is an important upgrade over the 7 MP front camera on the iPhone XR. According to DigitalTrends, the iPhone 11's selfie camera produces outstanding pictures, especially in portrait mode.

It's evident that the iPhone 11's rear and front cameras are both impressive and offer significant improvements over the previous generation (in this case, the iPhone XR).

Cons of the Apple iPhone 11

After discussing six key features of the Apple iPhone 11, it is now time to look at its drawbacks. This is important because no smartphone is perfect. Here are some of the iPhone 11's cons.

1. Notch and Bezel Issues

One significant issue with the iPhone 11 is its large notch. Apple seems to be maintaining the feature it popularized, despite many Android smartphones offering screens without notches or bezels.

In addition to the notch issue, another drawback of the iPhone 11 is its relatively thick screen bezels. The iPhone 11 should ideally have thinner bezels, which would make its design more aesthetically pleasing and slimmer.

The overall design of the iPhone 11 is unremarkable. While it retains the luxurious and attractive look characteristic of Apple products, it has become somewhat ordinary.

2. 5W Built-in Charger

Another shortcoming of the iPhone 11 is its built-in charger, which only supports 5W charging. With this charger, charging the phone's battery takes a considerable amount of time.

According to GSMArena, it takes 30 minutes to charge the battery from 0% to 18%, while a full charge can take up to 4 hours. This long charging time is another major drawback.

The good news is that charging time can be shortened by purchasing an original Apple charger that supports 18W charging, which can charge the iPhone from 11 to 55% in 30 minutes.

3. No OLED Panel and HDR Technology

The iPhone 11 features an IPS LCD screen rather than an OLED display. Although the IPS LCD screen is quite good, an OLED screen would have been a better choice.

Additionally, the iPhone 11 screen does not support HDR. Considering its price range, it would be more suitable if the display supported HDR.

An HDR screen would be particularly beneficial when watching high-quality video content or series on platforms like Netflix.

4. High Price Tag

Another drawback of the iPhone 11 is its relatively high price for some consumers, even for the most affordable variant.

This is somewhat expected, as the Apple brand is renowned for its exclusivity, which often translates to higher prices. For some consumers, the iPhone 11 may be too expensive, leading them to opt for more affordable, competing products with similar quality.

Conclusion

The iPhone 11 is an amazing smartphone, but it is not for everyone. It may not be as appealing as similarly priced Android smartphones due to its relatively high price.

However, the iPhone 11 is still worth considering, especially for those with sufficient funds who value Apple products and the technology they provide.
