Our appointment with Apple has ended, two hours later we find an almost complete renovation of the entire family of products. Those from Cupertino have not wanted to leave anything in the pipeline, today was their big day and that is why they have arrived with their hands full for apple lovers. The starter was the different streaming content services, both for series and games, renewal of the iPad and Apple Watch as an accompaniment, the first course the iPhone 11 and the main course the iPhone 11 Pro, let's not forget the dessert: the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Yes, the string of devices presented is overwhelming. We will focus on the iPhone 11, the little one, the one without the “pro” or “max” tag, come on, the younger brother of the three devices. More compact in size and with characteristics almost identical to those of its older brothers, the iPhone 11 may be the one designed for smaller hands or those who do not need the extra lens or higher resolution on the screen. But still with these shortcomings, it is postulated as a solid candidate in the high-end range and, in addition, it comes with a way designed to take photos of our pets. What more could you want?

Camera with two lenses and a portrait mode for pets
Taking photographs of our pets is essential, Apple knows it, for all of us who are passionate about this field, they have included a portrait mode compatible with our companion animals. It is well known how difficult it is to get, with all that hair, a decent portrait mode photograph. The cameras are getting better and better results when it comes to outlining and making the relevant cut and then applying the background blur, but for many this is not enough. A capable camera well versed in interspecies photography needs to be assured.
The portrait mode of the iPhone 11 camera comes from the hand of a double camera, although Apple has already shown that for portrait mode it has plenty of a camera, and, it is still like that. The portraits will be made with a single camera, which relies, again, on computational photography. This technology applies it in a concrete way in this mode, mixing different images to achieve one with the best possible result of this effect. It is not new, but it maintains an essence of Apple itself, betting on the software before, on the hardware, with all the second camera is not an ornament either.
This second lens is an Ultra Wide, that is, an ultra wide angle, designed to cover a larger field of view within the photograph and as a consequence, that more people enter a photo without having to push each other others. But, let's move on to the specifics. The main sensor is 12 megapixels with a focal aperture f / 1.8, stabilization is optical and there are six lenses that are responsible for keeping the sensor as stable as possible. 12 megapixels for the secondary sensor, yes, its aperture is f / 2.4 and with a field of view of 120 degrees. Plus, it enables lossless zoom up to 2x.
We do not forget the front camera, 12 megapixel sensor to achieve more than decent photographic results in all aspects. It also comes with new features, including the ability to record 4K video at 60fps, selfies in slow motion or "slofies", slow motion at 120fps and other more fun than functional additions such as masks or filters. An interesting photographic set to be the younger brother of the new family of Apple terminals.
More powerful and with more autonomy
The guts of the iPhone 11 house a six-core processor manufactured in 7 nanometers and with a clock speed of 2.66GHz. It is the new Apple A13 Bionic, a name that comes close to the new Apple processor. Neither short nor lazy, the apple company has boasted about the power of its new processor. Capable of performing a million million operations per second and branded as the "fastest and most powerful" processor by the company itself. We will have to see it, but for the moment we are content to talk about its main characteristics. The inclusion of a neural motor, which will be in charge of learning from the user's use. Artificial Intelligence so present in today's terminals.
It is accompanied by an amount of RAM that has not been disclosed, Apple is always reluctant when sharing this specific data, it is rumored that it is about 4GB, but we will have to wait for someone to reveal the figure. Autonomy has been improved, thanks in part to the new processor architecture, which is more energy efficient. Also, Apple has improved its fast charging. The iPhone 11 comes with a charger, included, of 18W that manages to charge up to 50% in 30 minutes.
Typical layout of an Apple terminal
Little has changed in the design of the new iPhone 11, now it has two cameras behind it, but it is still an easy-to-recognize terminal. Apple makes clear its bet on materials and with curved lines in the different corners. On the screen the large notch, a screen that is in turn IPS and with a resolution of 1792 x 828, highlights the 120Hz refresh rate and True-tone technology. For brightness, the figure exceeds expectations, 625 nits, more than enough to consume and view the content of our screen outdoors.
Its rear finished in different colors: black, white, yellow, purple, red and green. It maintains the characteristic elegance of Apple terminals, but at the same time offers that fun touch by providing different colors to choose from. As for resistance to inclement weather, the iPhone 11 arrives with IP68. It is able to resist splashing water as well as dust. Something essential in terminals of these prices.
Price and availability
The iPhone 11 will arrive in September, the 20th to be more specific. Although Apple offers the ability to reserve it from the 13th of this month. We anticipated at the beginning that it arrives accompanied by two variants, iPhone 10 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, these will also be available on the same dates. Now it only remains to know, by which you are going to decide.
