The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are sequels to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max - if there was any doubt. They are just as big, with similar designs and screens, but come with improved performance, some big camera upgrades, larger batteries, and a new Apple U1 wideband chip. Indeed, there is a lot to explore, so don't let the familiar looks fool you.
The iPhone 11 Pro design remains the same, or at least that's what the front suggests. There is a brand-new triple-camera setup on the back though, and the rear glass now has a frosted finish that we've grown to love since the OnePlus 6. The water-protection has seen some improvement too, and now the eleventh iPhone can endure submersion in up to 4 meters deep water (although we don't recommend swimming with it in either case).
The new A13 Bionic chip is an improved version of the last year's A12. It sure packs even more punch, a new ISP and DSP, among other things, but it is mostly based on the A12 design.
The triple camera is brand new, though. Now in addition to the wide and tele shooters, there is an ultrawide snapper. Night Mode finally makes it to the iPhones, and the 4K capture at 60fps gets the cool extended dynamic range as well. Probably the most awesome feature, showing off the power of Apple's chip, is the option to shoot with all four cameras (incl. selfie) at once. At 4K at 60fps with no limits. Imagine that!
And the front camera has finally gotten its long overdue update - it is now a 12MP shooter that can shoot in all resolution and framerates as the rear snappers. Slow-mo, called slo-fies, is available to the front cam as well, but we are yet to see if these slofies will be become a thing or not.
Apple also integrated a new Apple U1 wideband chip, but its usage is yet to implemented fully within iOS.
And finally, the iPhone 11 Pro now has 20% larger battery than the XS so you can survive those vacation days longer without running around looking for a lightning charger. A refurbished iPhone available in Ontario - whether it's the iPhone 11 Pro or something like an iPhone 12 is a great
iPhone 11 Pro Refurbished - Still A Good Buy?
The 11 Series of devices was - for better or worse - pushed aside for the iPhone 12 launch which made 5G connectivity the new normal. The iPhone 11 Pro still offers a great value, especially when you're looking at it compared to the rising price of 2022 releases like the iPhone 13. It's marginally more than the iPhone 11 and offers great improvements in terms of night vision cameras, and the Pro variant always seems to hold its value longer than the base model.
