Apple iPhone 11 Pro review: Those cameras
And now for the answer to the question youโve been waiting for โ โhow good are those cameras?โ The answer is that theyโre pretty damned good. To be fair, Iโd be surprised if they werenโt, but Apple hasnโt just chucked an extra lens on here and left it at that. Oh no, itโs also improved image quality across the board, added a night mode that (currently) beats Google at its own game and boosted video quality as well.
Before we get to image quality, let me remind you of what youโre getting here. The iPhone 11 Pro has three cameras โ one more than the iPhone Xs of last year. The extra camera delivers an ultrawide field of view equivalent to a 13mm lens on a full-frame camera, at 12-megapixels with an aperture of f/2.4.

The other two cameras are similar to last year. Thereโs a primary 12-megapixel f/1.8 camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and a field of view equivalent to a 26mm lens on a camera with a full-frame sensor. And, finally, thereโs a 2x telephoto camera with a resolution of 12-megapixels, an aperture of f/2, OIS and a field of view equivalent to a 52mm lens on a camera with a full-frame sensor.
The front-facing selfie camera has also had an upgrade, with resolution upped to 12-megapixels from only seven. Apple has also added its very own version of night mode, which Iโll get onto below. All three cameras on the rear are capable of recording 4K video at 60fps.
None of this is particularly innovative. There are plenty of other phones with three cameras on the rear. Some have more cameras than even this and others have greater telephoto reach. The Huawei P30 Proโs telephoto camera, for instance, gives you 5x optical zoom.
However, the image quality delivered by all three cameras is superb. In fact, generally speaking, the photos Iโve taken with the iPhone 11 Pro have been sharper and more detail-packed than both the iPhone Xs Max and the Google Pixel 3XL, although the colour balance is a little warmer than the Xs Max. This is the case with both the primary and telephoto cameras.
