PERFORMANCE
The iPhone 11 is powered by Apple's A13 Bionic processor, has 4GB of memory (according to iFixit), and comes in configurations of 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage. While 64GB is a decent amount of storage,ย it's no longer enough. The starting point should be 128GB, if not 256GB, especially when you consider Apple's latest services push with Apple Arcade and Apple TV Plus, both of which require storage space to play games or to view TV shows and movies offline.ย
But I've yet to feel like the iPhone 11 is underpowered, or that it suffers from performance issues not due to buggy software. I've downloaded several Apple Arcade titles, some of which are basic, while others, like Oceanhorn 2, are full of complex graphics and quick movements, and the iPhone 11 stayed one step ahead of me at all times.ย
Battery life on iPhone 11 has been superb. My days start around 6am, and I usually put my phone on the charger around 10pm. I've yet to see iPhone 11 have less than 34% charge left, and that's after close to five hours of screen-on time.ย
SOFTWARE
The iPhone 11 runs iOS 13, which itself includes a ton of new features for the iOS platform as a whole. Apple Maps, Reminders, Mail, and Safari are just a few apps that have received significant upgrades with the update.ย
In iOS 13.1, Apple also added a new feature called User Enrollment for BYOD scenarios. This allows the user to keep their Apple ID on the device, along with a corporate-managed Apple ID for things like configuring accounts, app-based VPN, passcode requirements, and remote wipe of corporate accounts and data. It's a huge boost for BYOD users, right in time for an iPhone that's priced under $700.ย
Overall, iOS 13 (and its iOS 13.1 update) is promising, but it needs more refinement. I still have issues with the Mail app, and right now, I have three or four apps that keep removing and then reinstalling themselves from my Apple Watch, without any interaction on my part.ย
