Nevertheless, the price of iPhone is not cheap. Presumably, many netizens still hold a wait-and-see attitude. On the one hand, they are waiting for the use problems reflected by the first batch of consumers, on the other hand, they are also looking for the most suitable way to start. If you are one of them, don't miss this article. We will visually show the upgrade points and controversial points of iPhone 1 1 series through question and answer, and provide objective test data and suggestions on how to start. Your purchase will help.
What are the intuitive changes in the1.iphone11series?
Maybe there are many digital enthusiasts around you bragging about how powerful A 13 is and how convenient the functions provided by iOS 13 are, but it is undeniable that the change of appearance is the main motivation for most consumers to change their mobile phones, even though the appearance of Yuba is generally considered unsightly.
In fact, Apple in Cook's era has already left the iterative route of "changing the appearance every other year" and turned to materials and color matching. According to different materials, this generation divided the iPhone 1 1 series into two branches: iPhone 1 1 and iPhone1/pro/pro max. IPhone 1 1 has become an upgraded version of iPhone XR, and the whole fuselage consists of aluminum alloy middle frame and glass back plate. Iphone11pro/pro max adopts a more refined surgical grade stainless steel middle frame, and the back glass is frosted and fogged, which is quite similar to the one plus seven pro released some time ago. All belong to AG glass, which feels more delicate and is not easy to leave fingerprints.
As for color matching, iPhone 1 1 replaces coral orange and coral blue in XR with green and purple, and retains four colors of black, white, yellow and red. It can be seen from Apple's actions that yellow and red are more popular in the market, but the new color scheme is always competitive. Compared with the youthful and lively candy color of iPhone 1 1, the Pro branch is obviously a "stable school". The previous generation had only three color schemes to choose from, but this time it added a more personalized dark green, which naturally became the most popular choice. At present, it takes 2-3 weeks to place an order in official website.
2. What is the performance level of iPhone11series?
Although Apple's appearance has not changed much in recent years, the core processor has been changing every year, and the chip developed by Apple has always surpassed its competitors in performance, which is the core competitiveness of Apple's mobile phone. The A113 processors on iPhone1series also adopt 7nm process technology compared with the previous generation, but the number of transistors has increased from 6.9 billion to 8.5 billion, and the official claim is that the performance has improved by 20%.
As for the horizontal comparison, Apple announced the CPU performance comparison charts of A 13, A 12, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and Kirin 980 at the press conference. It can be seen that A 13 is far ahead in both CPU and GPU performance. In the actual test results, the running scores of Geekbench and Ann Bunny also confirmed this result, showing the A 13 chip.
But for Qualcomm, the time node released by A 13 is more than half a year later than Snapdragon 855, so it is somewhat invincible. For Huawei, Kirin 990 has outstanding advantages in NPU performance and integrated 5G baseband compared with A 13. Therefore, we can't generalize the highly integrated processor platform, and the statement that A 13 kills everything is not valid.
3. What are the new features of iOS 13?
Since the release of iPhone 1 1 series, Apple has gradually opened the official firmware package for iOS 13. It is understood that all Apple phones launched after the iPhone 6s series can upgrade iOS 13, while the iPhone 6 series stops at iOS 12. For ordinary consumers, the upgrade of iOS 13 did not bring much visual changes, but only added a dark mode and adjusted the interface and functions of basic applications such as photo albums, memos and reminders, but the negative screen, notification bar and control panel remained basically unchanged. Therefore, if you upgrade your system with the expectation that your mobile phone will be brand-new, the result may disappoint you.
Although the UI changes are limited, you still need to upgrade it, because Apple has spent its main energy on the optimization of the underlying algorithms and the integration of the four major systems of iOS, Mac OS, iPad OS and watchOS. The brand-new iPhone 1 1 series with iOS 13 can naturally get the best experience, but at the same time, I can obviously experience the improvement of fluency after the upgrade of iPhone X, which is mainly reflected in the unlocking speed of Face ID and the startup speed of applications. Secondly, the basic click and slide operations also get a faster impact speed.
At present, there is no need to worry about the stability of iOS 13, but the adaptation of mainstream third-party applications to dark mode has not been completed, and I personally think that the endurance performance of iOS 13 has deteriorated, so if you care more about endurance, please don't upgrade. If you want to experience new features and faster speed, it's time to upgrade.
4. How much has the iPhone11series improved?
For a long time in the past, the camera level of Apple's mobile phone has been the industry benchmark, but at present Huawei has replaced Apple's position. In the ranking list of DXO Mark, an internationally recognized third-party camera evaluation agency, Huawei has been in a dominant position in the past two years. So if you want to buy the best camera phone, you should not choose Apple, but the imaging ability of Apple's mobile phone is not inferior, and the experience is particularly excellent, especially the iPhone 1 1 series.

The main specifications of iPhone 1 1 series cameras are as follows:
12 megapixel standard wide-angle camera, 26mm equivalent focal length, f/2.4 aperture lens, optical image stabilization and Focus Pixels phase focusing;
12 megapixel super wide-angle camera, 13mm equivalent focal length, f/ 1.8 aperture lens;
12 megapixel telephoto camera, 52mm equivalent focal length, f/2.0 aperture lens; Pro and Pro Max models also have optical image stabilization;
New night mode, low light shooting;
Video up to 4K/60fps has a larger dynamic range and is more stable;
12 megapixel front camera with face recognition function;

IPhone 1 1 pro/pro max is equipped with all three rear cameras, while iphone11removes the telephoto lens. According to the conclusion given by DXO, iPhone 1 1 series has excellent dynamic range and more realistic portrait blur effect. In addition, Apple also provides two "surprise" functions. One is to use the AI algorithm to provide an immersive framing picture. Under the standard wide-angle lens, you can see a wider picture taken by the ultra-wide-angle lens. The second is that when zooming, you can simulate the camera switching process almost seamlessly through the algorithm, making you think that there is only one camera taking pictures behind, which is not available in other Android phones.
5. What is the actual experience of iPhone11series?
Apple really let go of its weight control on the iPhone 1 1 series. The weight of iPhone 1 1 Pro, which is about the size of iPhone X, has reached 188g, which is 14g heavier. The weight of iPhone 1 1 remains the same as that of iPhone XR. The worst thing is the iPhone 1 1 Pro Max, which reaches 226g. Just bring a suitable protective case "half a catty", so if you see a girl holding iPhone 1 1 Pro Max, you must stay away from her, most of them are werewolves.

We may be able to offset our dissatisfaction with the weight gain by improving the endurance. In fact, it is also a major upgrade point of iPhone 1 1 series, especially iPhone 1 1 Pro Max. The battery suddenly rose to 3969mAh, which was nearly 800mAh higher than the previous generation. It can be said that it is very powerful. In addition, although the iPhone 1 1 series has differences in parameters, it has not improved much in function and use compared with the previous generation. If you don't care about taking pictures, then personally, even if you have iPhone X, there is no need to upgrade.
6. What problems have been exposed after the launch of iPhone11series?
The iPhone 1 1 series has been on the market for nearly a month, which is followed by the first wave of feedback from users, which must also be the concern of users who are interested in purchasing the machine. At present, iPhone 1 1 encountered quite a few problems in the initial stage of listing, including the problems of easy scratching of glass, poor signal and "ghost" in taking pictures. Let's talk about it one by one.
According to foreign media GottaBeMobile, the screen of iPhone 1 1 is easily scratched. Some users said that even if it is put in the pocket, it will only be scratched when it comes into contact with the plastic key chain. The reason is that Apple has adopted a brand-new coating process on iPhone 1 1. In short, if the local tyrants didn't buy AppleCare+, it would be a proper film.
As for the signal, this is actually a legacy of the iPhone Xs series. At that time, due to a patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm, Apple equipped the whole iPhone Xs with Intel baseband. Because Intel lags behind Qualcomm in related technologies, the signal is very poor. Now, although Apple and Qualcomm have reconciled, this generation of iPhone still uses Intel baseband. Although there are reports that Apple has optimized the signal, consumers don't seem to buy it.
Taking photos of "ghosts" is a bit interesting, the essence of which is that when shooting highlights at night with iPhone 1 1 series, ghosts will appear on the screen. Some professionals speculate that the reason is the light reflection between the camera glass and the coating. Other brands of mobile phones will also have this phenomenon, but it is generally not as obvious as iPhone 1 1 series, so some people think that this is Apple's design flaw, but Apple has not responded to it yet.

Of these three problems, the first one can be solved by sticking a film, and the last two can only be passively accepted. However, considering that the signal problem is greatly influenced by various factors in the use process, and the conditions for the emergence of "ghosts" are also harsh, it does not affect daily use.
7. What's the sales volume of iPhone11series after its launch?
Even though the whole series of iPhone 1 1 doesn't look so brilliant, it is undeniable that it has achieved very bright sales results. The latest statistical report given by Counterpoint, a market research organization, shows that the iPhone 1 1 series has refreshed Apple's sales in the first five years and become the most popular series in recent years, which is comparable to the iPhone 6 of that year.
In the domestic market, JD.COM Platform released the sales results of self-operated stores in flagship machine in September. The sales volume of nearly 400,000 units, iPhone 1 1 Pro Max sold nearly 1 100, and Pro sold nearly 80,000 units. It is not difficult to see that iPhone 1 1, which is relatively close to the people, is the most popular. In the promotion activities of some platforms, consumers can buy a 64GB version for only 5,000 yuan.
8. Which one is recommended?
No matter from the current market performance or my personal opinion, iPhone 1 1 is undoubtedly the most worth buying in this generation of iPhone, because Apple has lowered the price and is more easily accepted by the public. Simply put, you can enjoy about 80% of the user experience of iPhone11Promax, and you only need to pay half the price, which is obviously very tempting.

As for the Pro series, it is more suitable for consumers or digital enthusiasts who are not short of money. After all, as the most frequently used tool in our daily life, the mobile phone is not only a function to meet users' needs, but also an expression of users' own personality and taste.
9. What accessories are worth buying?
For domestic users, the most noteworthy thing about Apple's mobile phone is the fast charging function. Because domestic manufacturers attach great importance to the fast charging function and the technology is at the international leading level, fast charging has become very popular in China. IPhone 1 1 series finally bid farewell to the turtle speed charging of 5V/ 1A, and is equipped with fast charging function. According to the actual measurement of the charging head network, all three models of iPhone 1 1 series can reach the maximum power of more than 22W. Even so, iPhone 1 1 still comes standard with 5V 1A charging head, and iPhone1/pro/pro max comes standard with 18W fast charging head, but there is still a phenomenon of "insufficient power supply" in actual use, so I still strongly recommend it.
IPhone 1 1 series adopts the high compatibility of PD fast charging, so you don't have to deliberately pursue the official when buying a charging head. Apple's official price is really expensive. If you also have a notebook that supports PD fast charging, I recommend buying Xiaomi's 65W charger. The price in JD.COM is 169 yuan, which can be said to be once and for all, and mobile phones and computers can be recharged. If you don't consider using it with a notebook, you can choose Xiaomi's 45W charger, and the official price is 89 yuan. If you are an iPhone 1 1 user, you need to buy a data cable from Type-C to Lightning, and the price of rice is 59 yuan.
X.iPhone 1 1 What's the best deal?
At this stage, there is a strange phenomenon. Apple official website's inventory is not as much as that of the e-commerce platform. For example, the full version of iPhone 1 1 Pro Max night green color scheme released in JD.COM is in stock, and Apple official website will have to wait for 2-3 weeks. If you want to start by stages, you can also buy it at major banks (handheld business halls) that cooperate with Apple. China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank all support 24 interest-free installments, and Huayuan also has the same interest-free discount. If you want to choose to buy in the store, you need to make an appointment at Apple official website in advance. During the tight supply period, there was no reservation and there was no spot supply.

If you don't consider the mainstream e-commerce platform and Apple's official website channel and want to get more discounts, then Pinduoduo is currently in the "10 billion subsidy" period, and you can get discounts as high as 500 yuan. You can start with iPhone 1 1 for 4999 yuan, but there are only two or three optional color schemes. As for the overseas version, I don't recommend this generation of iPhone. After all, the price of Bank of China is already very low. Although it can save 2-300 yuan, the warranty and after-sales are not guaranteed, and some of them are not worth the loss.
