I’m confident about this because people have been complaining about camera bumps (opens in a new tab) - a “ pragmatic optimization (opens in a new tab)” according to outgoing Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive - since the iPhone 6’s (opens in a new tab) tiny lens protrusion. Just as everyone immediately pounced on Apple for the iPhone X's notch and then learned to accept it, I guarantee the same will happen with the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max’s triple cameras. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are way better looking in person, after you’ve held one in your hands, and used its weirdly aligned triple cameras (there is a reason why they’re like that, which I’ll get into soon). You can thank me later when you're not frantically deleting apps and photos because you're running low on storage. If you're getting an iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, I recommend ignoring the 64GB and getting at least 256GB. Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 (opens in a new tab), which starts at $949, comes with four times the storage as an entry-level iPhone 11 Pro. A $1,000+ "pro" iPhone shouldn't have the same amount of base storage as a $700 iPhone 11. I'm less bothered by these prices - monthly installment plans help split up the cost - and more by the fact the base storage is still 64GB. The iPhone 11 Pro starts at $999 and the 11 Pro Max at $1,099 for 64GB of storage $1,149 and $1,249 for 256GB of storage and $1,349 and $1,449 for 512GB of storage. They have the same premium prices introduced with the iPhone X. Unlike the iPhone 11 (opens in a new tab), which costs $50 less than the iPhone XR (opens in a new tab) did when it launched, the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max aren't cheaper. I'll take the most versatile camera system, the longest battery life of any iPhone, and the most secure mobile operating system over a new design that's different for the sake of being different any day. Once you get over the camera bump, you'll see the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are more "pro" than meets the eye. The fact that I literally couldn’t go anywhere in New York City without drawing attention from people who spotted the triple cameras suggests the iPhone 11 Pros already have what Android phones could only dream of: celebrity status. I’m not dismissing trypophobia, but having used the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max for a week ahead of its release, I can definitively say everyone needs to chill out.Īlmost everyone I’ve shown the iPhone 11 Pro to say it’s not as offensive in person - the lens rings aren’t nearly as thick as closeup images make them appear - and the design is one of a kind (for now). The holes are reportedly triggering people’s trypophobia (opens in a new tab) (fear of clusters of holes and bumps). Like the iPhone X (opens in a new tab) and its notch, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max (opens in a new tab) have a controversial design that seems to have divided everyone.Ī lot of people don’t like the way the three lenses protrude in a squircle-shaped bump that also houses the LED flash and microphone.
