Apple iPhone 11 Review

The iPhone 11 is the cheapest of the iPhones launched by Apple in 2019, it is nonetheless marketed at the price of a high-end smartphone. Is this model the preferred iPhone? Answer in our test.

I started using my first iPhone only 2 years ago with the iPhone X. I haven’t changed my smartphone since, except for tests. Testing the iPhone 11 was for me the opportunity to both test what Apple offers most accessible as a new smartphone, but also to note what the brand can offer new for people like me, who have already jumped a generation with their iPhone X.

DESIGN

The iPhone 11 takes more or less the same design as the iPhone XR launched a year earlier. We therefore find the screen which wants to be borderless , but cut by a notch, an aluminum edge and a glass back. Faced with fierce competition in the smartphone market, the iPhone 11 notch has also taken a big blow of old, even if iOS is fortunately thought for this element of design. Note that the glass back does not benefit from the frosted effect of the iPhone 11 Pro, we keep the classic “ shiny  ” glass back here  . Like the iPhone XR, the LCD screen is framed with thicker edges than high-end iPhones.

It is immediately felt in hand. Used to having the iPhone X, which is relatively compact compared to smartphones of 2019, the iPhone 11 seems bulky to me, both noticeably wider and slightly taller. We still do not reach the heights of giant smartphones released this year like the OnePlus 7 Pro: the iPhone 11 remains usable at any time before being stowed in a pocket. Just be aware that if size is an important consideration, you might be better off heading for an iPhone XS or iPhone 11 Pro.

As always with Apple, the finishes are exemplary and we really have a feeling of quality in hand, with attention to detail even in the symmetry of the speakers around the Lightning port.

SCREEN

Apple chooses one more year to integrate a simple LCD screen with a fairly light definition of 1782 x 828 pixels, for a diagonal of 6.1 inches, in its smartphone, however marketed at more than 800 euros. However, this is not very important since the LCD panel chosen by Apple is of very good quality. OLED screen of iPhone X and LCD of iPhone 11 side by side, I admit that I find it difficult to tell the difference, whether in terms of colors or definition. For the contrasts it’s obviously another story, and a point where the iPhone X wins hands down. In the next, note that the screen is True Tone compatible, Apple’s technology which adapts the colorimetry of the screen to the user’s light environment and integrates the Haptic Touch which replaces the 3D Touch.

Using Portrait Display’s CalMAN Ultimate software, we were able to run all but one of our display tests on the phone. Indeed, we have never been able to control the management by the iPhone 11 of the DCI-P3 color space. The reason is simple, iOS manages the display in DCI-P3 or in sRGB for each application independently, and the application used for our test is set in sRGB.

Unsurprisingly, the screen displays the sRGB color space (at 106%) without any problem, and does so with almost perfect precision since we noted a delta E of only 0.9 on average (we consider a delta E of 3 or less as being a difference invisible to the naked eye). The average color temperature is just as excellent: 6582 K (the temperature of white sunlight is 6500 K).

PERFORMANCES

The iPhone incorporates 11 “fastest chip smart-phone“, namely Apple Bionic 13. In detail, this chip engraved in 7 nm integrates 2 high performance cores and 4 cores for less important tasks. On a daily basis, the iPhone 11 is flawlessly fluid. This is completely normal, even my 2-year-old iPhone X is still perfectly fluid, with a less powerful processor. With an in-house design of its SoCs, Apple is securing a lead over its competitors who, for their part, depend on the advances of Qualcomm for the most part.

Whether with benchmarks , or in more concrete uses such as games, the iphone 11 button does not weaken. The smartphone very logically allows itself to compete with its cousins ​​iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 11 has less RAM, but should display fewer pixels on the screen.

SOFTWARE

The iPhone 11 unsurprisingly comes with iOS 13 by default, which can be updated right out of the box to iOS 13.1.2 (at the time of writing this test). Apple’s excellent follow-up in terms of updates is no longer to be demonstrated and we can already estimate that the iPhone 11 will be followed up to iOS 17.

In 2019, we no longer present Apple’s mobile system, which is now mature and receives relatively few changes from year to year. I have been using iOS on a daily basis for 2 years now, and I got used to the navigation offered by the system and the absence of an application drawer for example. We have a very fluid and responsive system, often very easy to use and complete. It offers me most of the functions I expect in 2019, and in particular contactless payment with Apple Pay and easy password filling with my own manager, unlocked with Face ID.

The firm promotes its system as a paragon of simplicity. Unfortunately, the user experience sometimes pays the price for this sought-after simplicity and you end up having something complicated, especially when you have known Android. We think in particular of the inability to set default applications: if you click on a link, Safari always opens even if you prefer to use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. It’s even worse for applications dedicated to a service: a YouTube link on Twitter will first open the internal browser of the social network, then offer you to launch Safari, which then redirects you to the YouTube mobile site, and you have to at this moment finally choose to open the application. Three steps and as much loading time for nothing.

Apple is known for its cohesive ecosystem of devices, applications, and services. The firm does not fail to remind you of this on several occasions, with on the one hand the default installation of many of its applications (from the calculator to the iTunes Store via Apple Books or Pages), by forcing the activation of Siri to complete the configuration of the smartphone (fortunately the assistant can be deactivated later), and by including an advertisement for AppleCare + in the phone settings menu.
