On the giant new camera bump, which will
no doubt be as controversial as the ‘notch’ on
the iPhone X, Bohn said: “I don’t love it, but
everybody uses a case anyway, so that will
help.” Chris Davies from SlashGear wasn’t so
complimentary of the bump, saying: “I wasn’t
feeling Apple’s big square camera array when I
saw the leaked images and renders. Even now,
I’m not 100-percent a fan, particularly when you
look at the iPhone 11 Pro next to the iPhone XS
Max.” He made a fair point, however, arguing
that “had the camera bulge been grafted on, it
would’ve felt clumsy; by growing it out of the
glass as a whole, it’s not necessarily pretty but it
does feel intentional.”
Gareth Beavis from TechRadar criticized the new
devices, saying that there’s “not a huge amount
of new features outside the camera,” but praised
its “increased speeds [which] mean gaming
is far more impressive”. Julian Chokkattu
from DigitalTrends said that “the iPhone 11 is
basically a refreshed iPhone XR, and that’s
o k ,” adding that the lower-end model “doesn’t
have all the bells and whistles,” but that it “will
be more than satisfactory for people looking for
an affordable, new iPhone.” Tom’s Guide added
that there is “a lot to love about the iPhone 11
at first look,” and that “the camera features are
impressive, even stacked against the iPhone
11 Pro, the design and new purple shade are
beautiful, and the price is right.”
Ultimately, it’s the price that’s the most important
talking point. Apple has been criticized in recent
years for its inflated prices and incremental
updates, but for a company that pushes the
boundaries and creates technology that
changes the world every year, incremental
