A week after using the iPhone 11, I've concluded it is my ideal phone. It's affordable in today's market, where $1,000 phones reign supreme. It's a perfect size. It's fast. It has an ultra-wide-angle camera and another camera that can capture stunning photos at night. The iPhone 11 is, without a doubt, the best iPhone for most users.
Now, before you head to the comments below, to remind me that I already described by dream phone, and the iPhone 11 isn't it, I know. But various facets of what I laid out as my dream phone will never exist, and iPhone 11 is as close as we're going to get to it right now.
Arguably, the iPhone 11 isn't the best iPhone that Apple makes. On paper, that title would have to go to the iPhone 11 Pro (read ZDNet's review) or the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
But the main pieces and parts that make up the iPhone 11 -- Pro or not -- are nearly identical. So much so that it feels as if buying the iPhone 11 is somehow pulling one over on Apple, or as if you're cheating it out of a couple of hundred dollars of revenue.
What is it about iPhone 11 that makes it so dreamy? Let's take a look.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CAMERA
Looking at the iPhone 11 from the front, not a lot has changed compared to the iPhone XR. The notch is still there, centered on the 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD Display, with Apple's TrueDepth camera system that enables Face ID to unlock the phone or complete Apple Pay purchases.
The TrueDepth camera on the front of the phone now features a wide-angle mode that's triggered by rotating the phone sideways. Instead of a 70-degree field of view, as is the case when the phone is vertical, the FOV is increased to 85 degrees, making it easier to fit several people in your selfie without having to stretch your arm too far. Apple also improved the slow-motion capabilities of the front-facing camera and dubbed the end product "slofies."
The side button, volume buttons, and mute switch are all in their normal spots. A headphone jack is still missing on the bottom, and Apple's proprietary Lightning port didn't get replaced with a USB-C port. Maybe next year.
Apple says the glass used on the front and back of iPhone 11 is the toughest glass ever used in a phone, and that it should be able to withstand more of our accidental drops and overall abuse, and I'll have to take its word for it. The iPhone 11 also has improved water resistance to 2m for up to 30 minutes.
It's not until you look at the back of iPhone 11 that you begin to see a difference. Specifically, the iPhone 11's camera array is now square and features two lenses -- instead of one like the iPhone XR had.
