With a hefty price tag of $699 and $999 respectively, without a trade-in, these iPhones will take a gaping bite out of any student&#8217;s budget. Is this model worth the price? Here are some considerations:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pros:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The camera is an improvement from the last phone<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iPhone 11 offers a significant battery upgrade<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new design features a different finish on the back of the phone: Matte<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iPhone 11 remains somewhat similar to the iPhone XS visually<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It offers few upgrades beyond those to the camera<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most notable improvements is the iPhone 11 Pro battery. During testing, the iPhone 11 Pro consistently lasted more than a day, and when the iOS 13 battery-saving mode is applied, the battery life is extended significantly. Compared to the iPhone XS, the iPhone 11 Pro can last 4 hours longer, a 17% increase in battery capacity. Furthermore, the actual charging device is revamped. In the box, an 18W charger and lightning to USB-C cable are included. This is a huge improvement from the 5W charger which took quite a while to charge the previous iPhones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of the design itself, the iPhone 11 Pro doesn&#8217;t have any impressive upgrades, with the exception of a frosted matte finish on the back. This provides an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the reflective glass typically placed on the iPhones. Additionally, there is a new color available for the new iPhone: Midnight Green.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the camera: the most significant physical upgrade. The trifecta of camera lenses on the back offers wide, 2x zoomed and ultra-wide perspectives, the latter being the first of its kind for the iPhone. If you&#8217;re into photography at night, the iPhone 11 Pro is for you because it essentially allows you to to turn on the lights at night, an option not previously available.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Verdict: I vote in favor of the newest addition to Apple\u2019s phone collection. It boasts a triple-lens camera that captures the best photos and videos from a number of different perspectives, as well as a new night mode that enhances photos taken in the absence of a light source. Additionally, the iPhone 11&#8217;s extra battery life is a welcome relief for iPhone users frustrated by their old device&#8217;s staying power. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, for those looking for a slightly less pricey option, it&#8217;s worth nothing that the iPhone XR has now dropped in price to $599 without a trade in, and the iPhone 8 to $449.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple recently released the highly-anticipated iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro, which boast better cameras, longer-lasting battery life, and new colors and finishes.
