This year iPhone 11 has pastel colours but seriously they look a lot better than iPhone XR I must say. Probably pastel colours match better win aluminium body.

I already preordered the green biggrin.gif
Can’t wait to get it next Friday! I think the new colors look great. The previous colors were too flashy.

Actually I have one question. Not sure if anyone knows but do you think portrait mode on the 11 will work on objects instead of just faces? I’m aware the XR only does faces.

Yeah, those were the good old days laugh.gif
Yes it will. They showed it during the keynote - it worked on a dog if not mistaken.

Yup I saw that photo.
But I was hoping it would be able to detect objects other than faces. For instance, I take a lot of portrait mode images on my XS of food tongue.gif
Actually, mostly food. If it can detect the edges of the table and all that then it would be great!

everybody knows you can charge phone on the go nowadays, it's not a news.
the reason people looking for long battery life phone because not everyone likes to carry around powerbank everywhere they go.
*
I'm that kinda person.
For me, I've been used to carrying my 29W quick charge charger with me instead of a powerbank ever since Apple supported fast charge.
Bought 2 of those things and never looked at 5W chargers/powerbanks ever again lol.
Heck the 18W charger provided with the 11 Pro is still slow compared to the 29W unit.

No way. fast charging has been proven that anything above 18w, it does not make difference anymore. this has been proven by many sources since iPhone X.

Hey thanks for this man! I really wasn't aware that the 18W performs identical to my 29W unit. I'll be getting them 18W units in future biggrin.gif

yeah. no point to invest in higher W charger since it is not going to make a big difference. so the 18w charger that is given by apple for iphone 11 pro/pro max is not considering short-charging customers.

Good to know bro. Really appreciate the intel notworthy.gif

If anyone is looking for a quick, affordable charger, I'm personally using this and can say it's been pretty good so far.
It's only RM40 inc. postage. But of course you gotta buy the cable also la tongue.gif

Anyway, just wanted to post a quick review - I actually bought the 11 for my little sister but she let me use it for a day!

Display: To be honest, coming from the iPhone XS Max, the drop in resolution is really obvious. I'm fine with LCD colors being not as punchy as AMOLED but I noticed when you view at photos taken by the camera, you'll see that it's a bit blur. When you zoom in, it is actually clear. I'm a photographer so maybe I find it more obvious. If you're not so particular about this then other than the gallery images, the display is good enough.

Built quality: This is Apple we're talking about. The built quality is really amazing. I prefer the brushed aluminum sides compared to my XS Max. The color. It looks GOOOD!!

Performance: Well it's using the latest chip from Apple. Won't say it's miles faster than my XS Max but if you're coming from a 7 Plus like my little sis, then the difference in speed is definitely noticeable!

Main camera: I really love it! Portrait mode now definitely supports subjects and because it doesn't use a telephoto lens, the images are not zoomed in. Image quality is really awesome! Night mode is pretty cool too. I noticed the difference between night mode and standard mode is not too drastic, but it does light up the image more. The wide angle lens is pretty good too - Won't say it's as sharp as the main sensor but it's definitely very usable.

Selfie camera: Definitely noticeably better in quality. Plus the angle is wider so you can fit more of yourself in frame. This is a massive improvement.

Battery: Again, coming from the XS Max, I'd say the battery did last a little longer than my XS Max. Definitely able to last through a day on heavy use. Unplugged at 8.30am, about 30% remaining at 6pm. I bought a 3rd party 18w charger and it charged up really quickly. I know some of you only charge at night but once you get used to this speed, you won't go back to 5W! tongue.gif

Other than that, really nothing much else to cover. I'm really amazed by everything on the 11 except for the display which I think is a major drawback for me. Anyhow! That's just me! For any of you out there who purchased the 11, be excited as it's really one hell of an iPhone!

PS: Images below shot with my XS Max tongue.gif

Nice review.
Is the night mode noisy?
*
Not really. The night mode is really subtle. It's not like on Huawei/Xiaomi where I tend to see a lot of oversharpening and massive increase in details taking place biggrin.gif
Let me see if I can share a sample later.

this is very good first impression. And coming from a photographer person!

im still deciding which one suits for my wife. long battery life and very good camera is all that she need..
*
Seriously the cameras are really great. If long battery life + great camera is all she needs, look no further. The iPhone 11 will serve you well.
Just don't forget to buy a quick charger too.
If you're looking for an affordable charger from Apple instead of 3rd parties, the iPad 12W unit is actually pretty quick. I'd recommend that. Plus you also don't have to buy a separate Type-C to Lightning cable like those PD chargers so that saves you some costs! biggrin.gif

Okay that reason would be good enough. Its just her current phone are bigger than that in screen. not sure if that consider a downgrade if she gets the 11. For me, i feel it is. Still deciding between that or the Max Pro.  laugh.gif

For the charger, lol i saw MKBHD throw it away. U do need a better charger all along.. well i will keep that in list. Thanks !   icon_rolleyes.gif

The only benefit I see for getting the Pro Max is better display. Other than that, I just can't justify the price difference of at least RM2K mega_shok.gif .
I mean it does get an extra camera too but laugh.gif

The 11 is just so good. It shares so many hardware as the Pro. If only it had a 1080P AMOLED display, I'm sure sales for Pro will be affected.
Anyway, uploading another shot of the 11 to poison you guys further rclxm9.gif

i think its quite easy actually. My wife will be thankful that i even consider buying an Iphone for her. So for the very same reason i list down what she need :

1. She watches Netflix heavily on the phone. So she needs something comfortable to hold on onto. The Pro Max is shit heavy. so that's out.

2. She is only a casual user - casual photoshoot, casual video, instagram, FB and whats not. that's it. I know from her style, she is ideally an Iphone user. I remembered when she use her Iphone 6 64gb, she need sometime to fill that up. But then again, that was then when all images are created and size ideally to what is offered ( 16,32 and 64GB). So here, i know d. She only needs the Iphone 11 and max 128GB. It can last her good 3 years before another change.

3. Problem is me. I love spoiling my wife. And i hold a flagship. My eyes only see the Pro Max hahahahahah So that is why im still contemplating on which to get.

But the above speaks the obvious.. i should just get her the 11 and be done with it. The 128GB for me is like an equal buy to the 128GB of XR. But that is just me. And because of this reason, i might take the 256 GB instead. haha. u see where this go? keep upgrade upgrade and upgrade finally i fatality myself buy the Pro Max 512GB  rclxub.gif  laugh.gif

Bro faster buy your wife the 11 and upload some poison pics here hahaha!

Im gonna get my wife the 11 only. Realize that the lifetime of this Pro Max is only 1 year anyway before they take it out again just like Xs and Xs Max by Sept 2020.

Only thing is colour... i think C63 manage to convince me on the Tiffany. But lets see how as my wife will pick up which in the end.

128gb Tiffany 11
Or
128gb Black 11.

Either way, the photo she will take starting from there will be like super upgrade so thats a big plus. Hahaha
*
LOL! Seriously. Once you see the real thing you will understand how beautiful the Tiffany (aka Green) is. Heck it's nothing like green. It's Teal!

In my opinion:

1. Green (Teal): Nothing much to say other than it might be a little bit girly. But it's a GREAT color.from your nose)
2. Purple > This color is also really nice! Only thing is that when in darker environment, the purple looks a bit dark. You either love it or hate it.
3. Yellow > Not bad too. The lighter gradient compared to the XR looks nice. But the side aluminum that surrounds the phone has this slightly greenish tint (looks a bit like the booger
4. Red > Too damn red. like blood. if you like blood red this might just be your thing.

White and black no need to explain.

Battery is still great. Health is rated at 96%.

You are right, also  bear in mind that the 11 pro has no 5g support..
*
Many people pointed this out too.
However, if you think about it, 4G is still shit in Malaysia. Heck sometimes we still get 3G.
If Malaysia can reach the level where there is awesome 4G coverage at any location in Malaysia that will already be a wish come true.
5G? Maybe another 5 years.

PS: The way 5G infrastructures work are also different from 4G. Speeds are high but it requires a lot of those 5G poles to be set up across the entire country.
Watch this video to find out more. Based on this, I don't think Malaysia can afford 5G at the moment (I might be wrong!)
