iPhone 11 Pro against iPhone XS

Apple's iPhone XS from 2018 had an excellent two-goal system. The new iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max go beyond: let's compare photography on two platforms.

The iPhone XS camera was the best in its class at the time of launch, but it is still excellent, but the technological progress of its competitors is relentless. The changes made by Apple to the iPhone 11 Pro clearly aim to keep the iPhone in the forefront of this line.

New material oriented towards the back

The biggest change on the iPhone 11 Pro is the new ultra-wide-angle lens. This equates to a 2X zoom out, essentially the opposite of the 2X telephoto. This gives a whole new perspective to the photos and creates incredibly large images.

In the picture above, you can see how many landscapes can be captured. It is also very useful for tight spaces, such as indoors, where you can not get away from your subject enough to fit everything – or everyone -.

Other rear-camera enhancements include 100% coverage of focal pixels on the wide-angle lens that allows for faster autofocus in low-light conditions. The telephoto lens now offers a wider and wider aperture for less grainy photos, sharper, sharper shots, and more. bokeh.

Let's take a look at some examples of photos. The complete resolutions are below.

Looking at these pumpkins, iPhone 11 Pro does a much better job with colors. The front pumpkin is brighter, while the rear pumpkins are even darker. This is a dynamic range a little better than that of the iPhone XS, which seems a bit too saturated – a common problem with the XS.

You can also see more details in the pumpkin stem with the iPhone 11 Pro.

Turning to this puppy photo, the iPhone 11 Pro has softened the photo a bit more than the iPhone XS. You may notice less definition on Mosby's face. More definition may sound better, but look at what the iPhone XS has done on the pillow below. It is filled with exorbitant noise. iPhone 11 Pro is clearly the best performer.

In this second picture of puppy, you see that the pillow is not a problem, the iPhone 11 Pro now has a lot more details in front.

This photo of peppers looks great on both photos, with beautiful colors on both cameras. It seems different when we kidnap the image in.

You can now see the difference in performance. The iPhone 11 Pro has colors slightly more true to reality and there are more details in the stem and pepper surface.

Updated True Depth Camera System

This year, Apple has increased the resolution of the front camera to 12MP. With this higher resolution, it can capture the same zoom level images as before, but it can also capture wide-angle selfies. This new zoom-out mode can be switched manually or automatically by rotating the phone in landscape mode.

In addition, the selfie camera can also take "slofies", or selfies in slow motion up to 120 frames per second. The iPhone XS can not capture slow motion videos with the camera facing forward.

Software features

As for software, there are a few things in store for updates. First, it's night mode. You've probably seen countless amazing snapshots already appearing on Instagram or Twitter, while users were testing this new mode.

The iPhone 11 Pro will automatically activate the night mode if necessary and will even choose the appropriate exposure. This can also be changed manually.

The implementation of night mode by Apple keeps the appearance of the night while properly illuminating the image, instead of giving the photo the appearance of the day as do other phones.

The new iPhone also supports QuickTake, allowing you to switch from photos to videos in an instant. Just hold the shutter button to start capturing the video and swipe to the right to lock the shutter. Hold and swipe left to capture burst shots as before.

Portrait mode has always required two goals to work properly. With a third goal, Apple is now able to shoot in 1X portrait mode rather than taking only 2X shots we were previously submitted.

It's huge to take photos in Portrait mode without having to go so far.

The iPhone 11 is also capable of taking natively photos in a non-destructive 16: 9 format and can capture outside the frame to crop images without loss of quality.

Not a SLR

At our last comparison, it was very common that a smartphone camera, especially the iPhone 11 Pro updates, never replaces a DSLR camera. This statement is generally true.

But, with the iPhone 11 Pro more than anyone else that Cupertino has created so far, it's the device you have with you, without you having to lug a bag with them. additional lenses, an SD card or two, a cable, and shoe accessories. For almost all of Apple's iPhone audience, less an unusually small percentage, the iPhone has replaced this system with 150 points and even some DSLRs.

Even the best photographers say that missing a photo is not worth the wait for the perfect equipment, and that an iPhone in your pocket beats much better than having nothing with you.

If the iPhone 11 Pro range does not suit you for a perfect photograph, that's fine. It's not like Apple sends out recycling teams to strip you of your relatively old Nikon D80 that you like, or the Nikon Z7 on which the video accompanying this text was shot.

If the iPhone 11 Pro does not work for you, no problem, but that does not mean it's not suitable for anyone. The tools you want to use are not the ones that everyone should be forced to use.
