Camera
Apple popularised the dual-camera setup with the iPhone 7 Plus. But, the entry-level iPhone models continued to have a single camera lens. As this year's Pro models house a triple-camera setup, the iPhone 11 has graduated to dual-lens. There is a 12MP wide lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The only thing you don't have onboard is the telephoto lens for getting closer to subjects.
I was able to switch between the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle camera with one tap - the 1x icon in the photo mode. It also supports 5x zoom but it isn't optical and affects quality. Camera app even helps the user understand what an ultra-wide lens will be able to capture - a slightly faded frame appears outside the viewfinder - and one can quickly switch by hitting on the -0.5x. The much-awaited night mode kicks in automatically. A yellow indicator illuminates on the top right displaying the exposure time (it is usually between two-four seconds) it will require to capture an image. I was able to turn on/off the night mode as well as adjust the exposure time. A little late but Apple has done a superb job with night mode as it illuminates the shot without adding much noise.
While capturing portraits, there finally has an option to control the background blur.ย Swipe up and select the 'f' icon' and choose anywhere between f/1.4 to f/16. The former keeps the background blurred while the latter keeps everything in focus. I also had an option to choose between the modes -natural light, studio light, contour light, stage light, stage light mono and high-key light mono. Moving beyond just faces, it also identifies objects now, but is a little erratic. Unlike the Pro model, I could not zoom in when in portrait mode. Broadly, images captured were sharp and crisp with great colour reproduction. The new tweaks within the camera apps make capturing videos quick and easy. Pressing the shutter button while capturing images start video recording and swiping it towards the left captures burst photos.
The front camera module is just the same as in iPhone 11 Pro and captures good selfies. It can also be used to capture group selfies by either clicking the zoom-out option or rotating the iPhone to a vertical position.
Shooting videos on the iPhone 11 is a delight as 4K videos at 60fps can be captured using both ultra-wide as well as the wide lens.
Performance
One thing Apple did not compromise on is the performance. Just like the Pro models, even the iPhone 11 is powered by the A13 Bionic chip with neural engine and runs the latest iOS 13. From loading apps, playing heavy graphic games to editing videos, there wasn't any lag. Playing the new Arcade games was a delight. On the performance front, it is no less than the iPhone 11 Pro. There wasn't any heating issue with the device either. What enhances the experience is the user-friendly iOS 13. The Photos app has been redesigned that helps to relive old memories easy. Even the photo editing tools are better. Swipe keyboards have been popular on Android platform for long and the swipe-to-type feature introduced with iOS 13 works well. System-wide dark mode has been neatly implemented.
