Apple potrebbe avere da quando è andato avanti con il iPhone 12 Pro, ma l’iPhone 11 Pro continua a fornire grandi prestazioni in un pacchetto compatto. Ottieni tre fotocamere posteriori che offrono prestazioni straordinarie, complete di un obiettivo ultra grandangolare, una nuova modalità notturna e una migliore Smart HDR, oltre a una gamma dinamica estesa nei video. Perché gli iPhone più recenti sono tra i migliori telefoni con fotocamera in circolazione, l’iPhone 11 Pro rimane uno dei migliori iPhone sbloccati, se riesci a trovarlo a un prezzo scontato.
Altri punti salienti includono un display da 5,8 pollici molto luminoso che è facile da usare con una mano, un veloce processore A13 Bionic che fuma la concorrenza Android che è uscita allo stesso tempo e un caricabatterie veloce nella confezione (finalmente)-qualcosa che non otterrai con nessun modello di iPhone 12. Apple vince anche il nostro confronto iPhone 11 Pro vs Galaxy S10, anche se il prossimo Galaxy S20 dovrebbe offrire all’iPhone 11 Pro una sfida più difficile.
Vorrei che Apple includesse più spazio di archiviazione oltre ai soli 64 GB standard, in particolare a $ 999, e il iPhone 11 Pro Max offre una maggiore durata della batteria con uno schermo più grande. Ma nel complesso, l’iPhone 11 Pro è un telefono di punta stellare, anche se le versioni più recenti lo hanno eliminato dall’elenco della i migliori iPhone che puoi acquistare in questo momento. Continua a leggere per la nostra recensione completa di iPhone 11 Pro.
Recensione iPhone 11 Pro: cheat sheet
- Il normale iPhone 11 offre ottime fotocamere doppie, ma l’iPhone 11 Pro offre una terza fotocamera per lo zoom ottico, offrendoti una maggiore portata.
- La nuova modalità notturna di Apple produce risultati sorprendenti in condizioni di scarsa illuminazione e supera persino il Pixel 4 in alcuni casi. (Il nostro pixel 4 contro iPhone 11 Pro ha un confronto completo tra i due telefoni.)
- Grazie al suo processore A13 Bionic, l’iPhone 11 Pro è ancora il telefono più veloce che puoi acquistare oggi.
- Con una durata della batteria di circa 10,5 ore , l’iPhone 11 Pro offre una buona resistenza, ma l’iPhone 11 Pro Max dura quasi 12 ore con una carica.
- Il caricabatterie rapido nella confezione funziona abbastanza bene, portandoti al 55% in 30 minuti.
- Vorremmo che Apple includesse più spazio di archiviazione di soli 64 GB; potresti voler optare per una capacità maggiore.
- Il iPhone 12 è proprio dietro l’angolo e includerà quattro varianti che vanno da 5,4 pollici a 6,7 pollici , il tutto con supporto 5G. Apple dovrebbe lanciare l’iPhone 12 ad ottobre.
Recensione iPhone 11 Pro: prezzo e disponibilità
L’iPhone 11 Pro ha debuttato a $ 999 nel 2019 per 64 GB di spazio di archiviazione relativamente striminzito. Non fa più parte della gamma di iPhone di Apple, anche se puoi ancora trovare l’iPhone 11 Pro presso i corrieri e i siti di vendita al dettaglio. Assicurati solo che il prezzo sia inferiore ai $ 999 che pagheresti per un nuovo iPhone 12 Pro.
In confronto, il Galaxy Note 10 racchiude quattro volte più spazio di archiviazione a 256 GB, anche se Apple fa un lavoro migliore con la compressione rispetto ai telefoni Android. Puoi pagare $ 1.149 per 256 GB di spazio di archiviazione su iPhone 11 Pro o $ 1.349 per 512 GB.
Se sei un utente del Regno Unito, il iPhone 11 Pro costava £ 1.049 per la versione di archiviazione da 64 GB, poi £ 1.119 per 128 GB e £ 1.399 per 256 GB.

Recensione iPhone 11 Pro: specifiche
Recensione iPhone 11 Pro: design
Uno sguardo al retro dell’iPhone 11 Pro e sai che questo telefono significa affari. I tre grandi obiettivi della fotocamera dominano l’angolo in alto a sinistra e all’inizio intimidiscono un po’. E mentre l’iPhone 11 ha colori amichevoli come il verde, il viola e il giallo, l’iPhone 11 Pro si attiene a tonalità tradizionali come il verde notte, il grigio siderale, l’oro e l’argento.
I mi piace molto la finitura opaca sul retro; non solo resiste alle impronte digitali (ti sto guardando, Galaxy Note 10) ma è meno scivoloso di altri telefoni in vetro.
L’iPhone 11 Pro non ha problemi a scrollarsi di dosso l’acqua. L’ho scaricato in una fontana e il telefono non ha avuto problemi. Il dispositivo è classificato IP68 e può resistere all’immersione fino a 4 metri per un massimo di 30 minuti. (Sono ben 2 metri in più rispetto a quanto l’iPhone 11 può sopportare.)
Ci sono un paio di cose che non amo del design di iPhone 11 Pro. Il primo è che è un po’più pesante dell’iPhone XS (6,63 once contro 6,24 once), ed è anche leggermente più largo e spesso, che sospetto abbia a che fare con aggiunte come la terza fotocamera e forse una batteria più grande. Tuttavia, è ancora abbastanza compatto per essere in cima alla nostra lista dei migliori piccoli telefoni.
Il secondo trucco è che l’iPhone 11 Pro sembra quasi identico a iPhone recenti dalla parte anteriore. Sì, la tacca è diventata iconica a questo punto, ma mi piacerebbe vedere qualcosa di più vicino a un iPhone a schermo intero.
iPhone 11 Pro recensione: Durata
Apple afferma che iPhone 11 Pro ha il”vetro più resistente di sempre”su uno smartphone. E abbiamo messo alla prova questa affermazione conducendo un test di caduta di iPhone 11 Pro da diverse altezze su un marciapiede. I risultati non sono stati eccezionali.
Ad un’altezza di circa 3,5 piedi, la parte anteriore dell’iPhone 11 Pro si è rotta quando abbiamo lasciato cadere il telefono sulla sua faccia. È interessante notare che la parte posteriore del telefono non ha subito alcun danno quando l’abbiamo lasciato cadere dalla stessa altezza, ma la parte posteriore si è crepata da una caduta all’altezza delle spalle. Indipendentemente da ciò, investiremmo in una custodia per iPhone 11 Pro.
Alcuni proprietari di iPhone 11 Pro si sono lamentati del fatto che i loro schermi si sono graffiati facilmente . Tuttavia, non abbiamo riscontrato alcun problema con la nostra unità di prova. Se sei preoccupato che il tuo telefono possa graffiarsi, ti consigliamo di investire in una protezione per lo schermo.
Recensione iPhone 11 Pro: Display e audio
Una cosa è misurare la luminosità del display Super Retina XDR da 5,8 pollici di iPhone 11 Pro nei nostri laboratori. E ha impressionato il laboratorio con una lettura media di 752 nit. Questo supera di gran lunga il Galaxy Note 10 (674 nit) e l’iPhone XS dell’anno scorso (611 nit).
Ma noterai la differenza soprattutto quando metti l’iPhone 11 Pro accanto al Galaxy Note 10 all’esterno. Anche senza molta luce solare, lo schermo dell’iPhone 11 Pro ha fatto sembrare il pannello del Note 10 decisamente scuro. Ho dovuto ricontrollare che il telefono Samsung fosse alla massima luminosità.
Overall, the OLED panel on the iPhone 11 Pro is pretty stunning, thanks to its wide color support and ultrawide viewing angles. In the trailer for See coming to Apple TV+, the sweeping landscapes and minute details in people’s faces really drew me into the action, though I’d personally prefer the larger 6.5-inch canvas on the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The sound through the iPhone 11 Pro is just as compelling, thanks to support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. When watching the See trailer, it felt like the driving rain on Jason Momoa’s head was happening around me instead of just in front of me.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Cameras
With three lenses comprising the rear camera, backed by a wealth of computational photography smarts, the iPhone 11 Pro’s new imaging stack is phenomenally ambitious, even by Cupertino’s imaging standards.
It starts with a trio of 12-megapixel sensors, each tied to a different type of lens to offer a unique perspective on your surroundings. Like with the iPhone XS and iPhone X before it, there’s a secondary telephoto shooter that offers 2x optical zoom, although Apple has widened the aperture to ƒ/2.0, up from ƒ/2.4 in last year’s flagship to let in more light. Meanwhile, the new ultrawide camera delivers a 120-degree field of view, akin to a 0.5x zoom.
But it’s not all about hardware. Apple’s new Night Mode finally enables the latest batch of iPhones to contend with Google and Huawei’s benchmark low-light camera performance.
That’s immediately clear from this striking shot of an outdoor bar, captured using the iPhone 11 Pro’s Night Mode. With an older iPhone in hand, you’d could never attain a shot this crisp and balanced in the highlights and shadows, at this time of the evening. Apple’s low-light smarts plainly best Google’s in this comparison, as the Pixel 3 has no answer for the detail present in the concrete slab, or in the patina of the wooden fence, as they were captured with the iPhone’s primary lens.
I also love the darker, more realistic tone of the sky in the iPhone’s example, and how Apple’s hardware and software correct for the distortion that plagues the perimeter of the Pixel’s attempt.
Google’s newer Pixel 4 offers even better cameras, and you should check our iPhone 11 Pro vs Pixel 4 camera shootout to see how they stack up. Spoiler alert: Apple wins.
The iPhone 11 Pro’s impressive performance in dim conditions proved to be a theme for the rest of the night. Inside a club, Apple’s handset again paints a sharper, more lifelike view of a complex scene, mixing lighting of various colors with lots of intricate textures.
Compared with the image the Pixel 3 delivered, you can actually pick out the individual drivers shrouded behind the mesh of the speaker to the right of the room. And where Google’s software dulls the spotlights considerably, Apple’s seems more willing to allow those to shine brightly in certain places, which handily boosts the contrast and depth of the overall result.
The iPhone 11 Pro’s camera is so stunning in the dark, that if you own one, your friends will assuredly designate you as the group’s official photographer. They’ll insist you take every shot — although, as we discovered, the iPhone 11 Pro’s low-light capabilities have one weakness: portraits.
The new telephoto lens captures stunning shallow depth-of-field shots in the daytime, though it strangely produces portraits that are simultaneously noisy and blurry when lighting isn’t ideal. And while I prefer the iPhone’s warmer cast — it more naturally fits the true conditions of the venue — the Pixel 3’s take is so much clearer, that almost doesn’t matter. There’s no reason the iPhone 11 Pro shouldn’t be able to punch up dim portraits the same way it does typical night shots, so hopefully this can be corrected in a software update.
The iPhone 11 Pro’s ultrawide lens similarly struggled to top the one on the back of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 Plus inside New York City’s iconic Grand Central Station. Every detail is a bit duller through the new iPhone’s camera. Whether it’s the shadows cutting across the pillars, or the separation between the bricks in the walls, or the carvings adorning the ceiling, Samsung’s optics rendered it with more sharpness.
On the flip side, I much prefer the way Apple’s ultrawide camera painted the view from the southwest corner of Bryant Park. Excluding the difference in sunlight in the background, the grass, fallen leaves and lettering on the signage in the foreground are just more discernible on the iPhone. I also love the way the camera’s HDR processing brought out all the grays and whites lurking within the clouds in the sky. The contrast adds a richness and gravity to the scene that Samsung’s phablet misses out on.
For this delectable close-up on a cookie, we used the primary lens on both the iPhone and Note. Even though Samsung’s device packs an AI-aided Scene Optimizer that can recognize food and adjust exposure, contrast and saturation accordingly, it was Apple’s handset that brought home the unmistakably more delicious shot. All the cookie’s nooks and crannies are so much richer, both in color and depth, looking at the iPhone 11 Pro’s result. The Galaxy somehow glosses over those intricacies.
Finally, we put the iPhone 11 Pro’s new 12-MP front-facing camera to the test with an ultrawide selfie that seemed fuller of color and texture compared with the Note’s best work. Samsung’s software dials up the skin smoothing and opts for flatter, less saturated hues, which makes the photo look as if it were captured on a cloudy day, even though it wasn’t. The improvement from the iPhone XS’7-MP selfies is clear to see for users coming from that device, and I love how Apple has made it so easy to widen the field of view when shooting with the front-facing camera. You don’t even need to tap anything — all you have to do is turn the phone from portrait to landscape orientation.
The iPhone 11 Pro’s camera is so stunning in the dark, that if you own one, your friends will assuredly designate you as the group’s official photographer.
In fact, the only thing I find more impressive than the iPhone 11 Pro’s photography is how easy Apple has made it to use the camera app. This is a phenomenally advanced mobile imaging system, and yet it’s not anywhere near as complicated to get the most out of, in practice, compared with the best camera phones from the likes of Huawei and Samsung.
For example, Night Mode is triggered automatically based on shooting conditions, but the phone still tells you how long the exposure will have to be before you even press the shutter button. A countdown commences as Night Mode shots are captured, which means you’re not holding still indefinitely while you wonder how much time the camera needs to work its magic. Additionally, the new viewfinder experience, which shows other zoom perspectives in the overflow area behind the controls to give you a sense of what a wider vantage point can offer, is another brilliant idea. All mobile camera interfaces should be this straightforward.
The iPhone 11 Pro’s photography gets even better with Apple’s new Deep Fusion mode, which is part of the iOS 13.2 upgrade. Deep Fusion is sort of like traditional HDR, in that it comprises a wealth of differently-exposed frames. However, it goes a step further by analyzing each one at the pixel level.
Apple says the technology delivers unparalleled sharpness by incorporating elements of every photo for an optimized, ideal shot. And we did see a difference when we used Deep Fusion on the iPhone Pro versus the regular camera mode on the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
If you take a look at my colleague Rami in this portrait, you can make out his facial hair more clearly with Deep Fusion on, and there’s more texture when you compare the inside of his hoodie across both images. There’s not a huge difference, but it’s noticeable.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Video
Apple has lavished unprecedented attention on the iPhone 11 Pro’s video capabilities. Unlike most similarly priced flagships that can deliver only the highest frame rates and resolutions from a phone’s primary camera, the Pro devices can capture 4K-resolution video at 60 frames per second from any one of their its rear lenses. What’s more, even while you’re shooting with one camera, your iPhone is priming the exposure levels and white balance of the other two sensors in the background, so that the transition from perspective to perspective is seamless.
The result is, quite simply, the finest video-recording experience I’ve ever enjoyed on a phone. Watching our sample video depicting a stroll through Bryant Park, the iPhone 11 Pro handles on-the-fly changes in lighting, lens switching and stabilization so much better than the quadruple-lens Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The difference in zooming in and out is especially jarring; on the iPhone, the transition is fast yet smooth, whereas the Note’s is jerky and instantaneous. Additionally, Samsung’s phablet clearly sustains a few hiccups at the outset of the video, dropping a handful of frames somewhat embarrassingly mere moments after I begin rolling.
The result is, quite simply, the finest video-recording experience I’ve ever enjoyed on a phone.
This iPhone is also the first capable of shooting slow-motion video at 120 fps through the front-facing camera. You might wonder why someone might use such a feature, but Apple has prepared an answer for that: Slofies. All iPhone 11 models make it possible to document super-slow footage of your hair blowing in the wind or a pie to the face.
The results certainly maintain parity with the high-quality video you can get using the back cameras, though we’ll have to wait to find out whether the slofie becomes ubiquitous, or fizzles out like a passing fad, in much the same way Animojis did.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Performance
In less surprising news, Apple once again has the world’s fastest phone, thanks to the iPhone 11 Pro’s A13 Bionic chip. This processor offers 20% faster CPU, GPU and machine-learning performance, and it shows in benchmark testing and real-world tests.
On Geekbench 5, which measures overall performance, the iPhone 11 Pro scored 1,337 on the single-core portion of the test and 3,509 on the multicore test. The Galaxy Note 10 mustered 746 and 2,640 on the same tests, while the OnePlus 7 Pro also trailed the iPhone 11 Pro at 744 and 2,802.
The iPhone 11 Pro also dominated on the GFXBench g raphics test. This handset scored 2,174 frames, or 33.8 fps, on the Aztec Ruins (High Tier) off-screen benchmark, compared with 1,058/16 fps for the Note 10.
Apple’s phone impressed again on the 3DMark Slingshot Extreme test, another graphics benchmark. The iPhone 11 Pro notched 6,163, while the Note 10 (5,374) and the OnePlus 7 Pro (5,581) fell behind.
On our real-world performance test, the iPhone 11 Pro shined once more, but it wasn’t any faster than its predecessor this time around. It took the phone 46 seconds to export a 4K video to 1080p after applying a color filter and transition. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus took 1:34.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Battery life and charging
Because it’s a smaller phone, I didn’t expect the iPhone 11 Pro to outlast the iPhone 11 or the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but it performed well given its size. The phone lasted an average of 10 hours and 24 minutes on the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing over 4G LTE on 150 nits of screen brightness.
By comparison, the iPhone 11 lasted an average of 11:16 on our test, with the iPhone 11 Pro Max enduring for a whoppi ng 11:54.
In the iPhone 11 Pro vs. Samsung’s S10 face-off, the Galaxy S10’s runtime of 10:19 is similar to the iPhone 11, but the Galaxy S10 Plus lasted a much longer 12:35. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 10 endured for just 9:25, while the Note 10 Plus hit 11:09 on average. The OnePlus 7 Pro eked out only 9:31.
I’m glad that Apple has finally bundled a fast charger with an iPhone. The iPhone 11 Pro ships with an 18-watt charger that got to 55% juice in only 30 minutes. That’s great, and outpaces the Note 10’s 25-watt charger (47% in 30 minutes). However, the OnePlus 7 Pro hit 60% with its 40-watt charger in the same time frame.
iPhone 11 Pro: Is the lack of 5G a big deal?
The short answer to the above question is not really — at least at this moment. The fact that the iPhone 11 Pro lacks 5G is disappointing in the sense that you’re probably going to hold onto this phone for the next few years. By then 5G should be everywhere, but right now the 5G networks are still being built out, and the speeds they’re offering aren’t appreciably better than what the latest LTE infrastructure offers.
So you’ll have to settle for 4G LTE on this phone, and the iPhone 11 Pro supports 4×4 MIMO, giving you two more antennas than the regular iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 Pro also comes with Wi-Fi 6 built in, which means you should enjoy more efficient throughput if you buy a Wi-Fi 6 router.
One wireless surprise is Apple’s proprietary U1 chip, which uses Ultra Wideband to accurately locate other nearby devices with the same chip inside. For example, you can share files over AirDrop with other iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro owners by pointing your phone in their direction, and the transfers will be handled more efficiently than before. But I’m guessing that more exciting applications are on the way, such as the rumored object tracker from Apple that would take on devices like the Tile.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Software
Apple’s iOS 13 came preloaded on the iPhone 11 Pro, and it brought some welcome improvements. I especially appreciated Sign in with Apple, which made it easier to sign in with all sorts of apps without having to futz with passwords — or worry as much about my privacy.
But right out of the gate I really appreciate the new Photos app. The Days, Months and Years views help your pics come alive, and I like the way Apple mixes in videos with still photos.
While I’m not giving up Google Maps anytime soon (Apple burned that bridge for me and then gave me incorrect directions back to the bridge), I’m glad that there’s a new Maps app that’s been rebuilt from the ground up with high-res 3D photos. There’s also a Look Around feature that’s similar to Google’s Street View.
It’s a small thing, but I like the redesigned Reminders app, as there are more in-your-face counters to see at a glance how many items on a to-do list you still need to complete.
Of course, since this review initially posted, Apple released iOS 14, which brought even more features to all iPhones, including the iPhone 11 Pro. (Our iOS 14.5 review has the latest assessment of those capabilities.) And this fall, the iPhone 11 Pro will support iOS 15.
iPhone 11 Pro review: Verdict
The iPhone 11 Pro continues to be one of the last great small phones in existence. And that’s no small feat when you consider all of the great stuff Apple packed into this phone. You get arguably the best cameras in a phone along with class-leading performance and an OLED display that outshines most Android phones.
My only reservations with the iPhone 11 Pro are its measly 64GB of included storage and that its battery life, while good, trails both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
If it were my dough, I would spend the extra $100 on the iPhone 11 Pro Max for its bigger screen and extra endurance. (Or I’d buy a new iPhone like the iPhone 12 Pro, which has a 6.1-inch display.) But the regular iPhone 11 is still very much worth the investment for those who desire killer cameras in a more compact package.
