Apple recently launched one of its biggest and most expensive series of smartphones: the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Considering the hefty $700 - $1100 price range, the question that almost everyone is mulling over if they should upgrade to a new phone or not? We are living in an era dominated by advancing technology, where every newly released product is only slightly improved than its prior models. Moreover, devices that were launched even 3-4 years ago, such as the iPhone 7, remain fully functional.
To decide whether these phones are worth a switch the new features of the iPhone 11 range needs to be evaluated. Although the Face ID and the lightning port remains unchanged, there are several new features that this series of iPhones offer. In terms of the design, iPhone 11 comes in six splendid colours with two 12-megapixels cameras. Similarly, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max come in four stainless steel and glass designs with an additional third camera. With the new Apple A13 Bionic chipset, the new processor is drastically faster and extremely efficient. However, iPhone X already had an incredibly fast pace of shooting photos and running apps and other phones above the iPhone 7 can easily be kept up to date with assistance from the several iOS software updates. The 11 range promises some tremendous battery improvements with four to five extra hours each day. Finally this range’s most compelling feature - the camera has made huge strides. iPhone now offers the ability to shoot the highest quality videos in any smartphone ever. Moreover, the new ultra-wide camera shoots four times the scene. Finally, the newly introduced night mode allows one to shoot beautiful sharp HD pictures even in low lit scenarios.
All in all, the answer boils down to the device you currently own and if these improvements are worth the investment according to you. Reasonably, older devices like iPhone 6 can be upgraded as due to compatibility issues the iOS software will no longer be updated. If you are someone who takes photography seriously and replies on it, or who has serious demands from their phone’s battery, then the iPhone 11 is perhaps a good update for you. Otherwise, in another few years better technological strides might be made and hence I suggest that iPhone 7 and above users should stay patient as breaking free of the common ‘2-year upgrade cycle’ has its own benefits.
