iPhone 11 – the most anticipated

Even if the other devices are interesting, there is no denying that the iPhone 11 was the most anticipated guest of the event. Everything we needed to know about the next generation of Apple smartphones was revealed, as well as the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max versions, which we will show throughout the article.

The first new feature was the selection of colors in which the iPhone 11 will be available. Black, white, red, yellow, purple and green.

With Dolby Atmos sound technology and Retina Display, the new smartphone will have 6.1 inch screen in standard version. It will run at 1792 x 828 pixels at 326ppp resolution.

The highlight is the dual camera in the 12 MP wide-angle and ultra-wide pattern – allowing you to expand the photo area up to four times.

See below for specifications:

12 MP wide-angle lens:

• F / 1.8 aperture
• Focus Pixels at 100%, improving autofocus.

12 mp ultra-wide lens:

• F / 2.4 aperture
• 120 ° field of view

In addition to the specific specifications of each camera, other features include:

• Optical zoom out – which does not compromise photo quality – up to 2x and digital zoom in – which reduces photo quality – up to 5x
• Automatic image stabilization
• Intelligent HDR enhancements for imperfection correction using machine learning technology
• Night mode, which brightens pictures taken in dimly lit environments.

In addition to photos, iPhone 11 cameras will allow you to record 4K-quality video at 60 frames per second. That is incredible quality and fluidity in video playback.

Modes for recording in slow motion – also on the front camera! -, do timelapse and QuickTake function, which allows you to switch between photos and videos without losing the frame. It is worth mentioning that the iPhone 11 native video editor will bring advanced options, focused on allowing even professionals to be able to create videos with just the smartphone.

Although the camera is the star star in the development of any iPhone, other specifications were also revealed. First is the new A13 Bionic chipset, which promises to bring the fastest CPU and GPU on the market.

To demonstrate its power, Apple brought Chinese developer TipsWorks to showcase the game Pascal’s Wager with stunning graphics.

IPhone 11 will continue to charge wirelessly and the battery will last 1 hour longer than iPhone XR.

iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max confirmed!

If the power of the dual camera of the iPhone 11 didn't surprise you, maybe the Pro and Pro Max triple lenses are the right choice. In addition to the two cameras mentioned in the standard model, the Pro editions will have one more telephoto camera (or telephoto), also 12 MP. Check out the specifications of the new lens below:

IPhone 11 Pro Telephoto Lens Specifications:

• 52mm focal length
• Greater f / 2.0 aperture
• 6 element lens
• Optical image stabilization

The cameras will allow 4x – 2x optical zoom out and 2x in. In addition, you can take the same picture three times, using each lens as the main one. That means more options for taking photos with iPhone, without the need for apps to make them perfect.

But it's in video recording that the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max shine.

In addition to recording at 40K and 60fps, you'll be able to use dynamic range and kinematic video stabilization, ensuring amazing videos and movies, even for a camera phone.

With the Filmic Pro app, you can also record the same video with multiple lenses simultaneously. For example, you can record videos using the wide-angle, ultra-wide lens and front camera at the same time.

The Pro and Pro Max edition will come with a new screen type, named by Apple as Super Retina XDR. It will come equipped with two brightness levels, which will be activated automatically and make it easy to take photos or record videos.

The iPhone 11 Pro screen will be 5.8 inches, while the Max version will have 6.5 inches and 458ppp in both versions.

Although the chip is also the A13 Bionic, this version of the smartphone will use artificial intelligence to optimize CPU and GPU usage. It will come with processing accelerators, which can multiply their efficiency up to 6 times, reaching up to 1 trillion operations per second.

Apple has also highlighted the energy efficiency of its smartphone, which promises to be 20% faster than previous editions, but consume 30 to 40% less energy. Artificial intelligence will analyze your activity and balance processor usage according to what you are doing.

Speaking of energy, the Pro Edition's battery will also be more robust. IPhone 11 Pro will be 4 hours longer than iPhone XS and 5 hours compared to iPhone XS Max.
