iPhone 11 Pro Max

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max – Best prices:

If the only differences between the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are the screen size and the battery capacity, the Pro Max model is the most suitable for professional use. If it is indeed easier to work with documents and spreadsheets on a larger screen and on a device with a more resistant battery, there is still a lot to say about the two characteristics that distinguish the Pro Max of his younger brother.

With the iPhone 11 Pro Max, Apple has deployed all of its expertise and brilliantly illustrates all the power that its A13 Bionic chipset can give. The striking force of Apple’s premium model is indeed based on several qualities that make it one of the best smartphones today: a fabulous OLED screen, a large-capacity battery with a battery life of five hours more than the iPhone XS Max or a new camera with improved software.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max also continues to receive regular updates, while its application gallery still surpasses that of Android smartphones, despite a marked improvement in the latter. In addition, the facial recognition software on which the Apple smartphone is based remains the fastest on the market and its version for the iPhone 11 Pro Max has been improved for better performance.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is available from 1,259 euros for a
model with 64 GB minimum storage. There are attractive colors
for professional users and, compared to the iPhone 11, the
Pro Max version is more focused on professional users. What to tip the scales in his favor?

Apple iPhone 11 Pro

Apple iPhone 11 Pro – Best prices:

The release of Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro has become a real event given the breathtaking features deployed by the American giant on its 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max models. If Apple unfortunately launched it with only 64 GB of internal storage capacity, a shame for a premium smartphone marketed at more than 1,000 euros, the 11 Pro remains a real powerhouse.

The only differences between the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pro Max are
in screen size and battery capacity. However, the
5.8 inch model remains the best
suit a wide audience due to much more ergonomics
practical and adapted to the morphology of the general public.

The iPhone 11 Pro is available from 1,159 euros for a model with
64 GB minimum memory. Its stainless steel case, its options
professional colors, its battery capacity improved by
compared to previous iPhones and its continued support make it one of the
best phones available today.

Apple iPhone 11

Apple iPhone 11 – Best prices:

If this selection begins with the most powerful smartphones – and the most expensive – marketed by Apple at present, it should however not be overlooked on the iPhone 11, which stands out today as the best iPhone for the general public. If Apple has the annoying habit of regularly increasing its prices, the American giant has taken everyone wrong when launching the iPhone 11, marketed with a price lower than its predecessors.

Contrary to the terrible decision to launch the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pro
 Max with only 64 GB of basic internal storage and claim
then an exorbitant sum to go to the next level of 256 GB,
Apple let iPhone 11 buyers go from 64 GB to 128 GB
for only around fifty euros. This is why the iPhone 11 with 128 GB
Internal storage is emerging as a great option for most people today.

The iPhone 11 has a size between 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max with a long battery life, a powerful processor, several color options and a dual rear camera configuration. The smartphone also has an ultra wide angle and standard rear cameras but does not have the 2x telephoto zoom found on other new models of iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max.

The iPhone 11 is offered from 809 euros for 64 GB, while the 128 GB model is offered at 859 euros. Six colors are available, so there will necessarily be one that will convince you to crack.

Apple iPhone SE (2020)

Apple iPhone SE (2020) – Best prices:

Apple, usually known for making overpriced smartphones, surprised everyone by announcing the launch of a new low-cost device model from its SE range. It is clear that it is a perfect option for those who want to have an iPhone experience without having to pay crazy amounts. As a person who mainly uses Android phones, it is also a great option as a second phone for those times when you want to use a device with iOS.

The iPhone SE is distinguished by its more compact appearance than almost all other modern phones on the market and strongly resembles an iPhone 8. It is however the interior of the beast that counts here, while the device is endowed Apple Bionic A13 processor, high dust and water resistance rating (IP67) and a high-performance 12-megapixel camera. You won’t find an economical Android phone with all of these features at this price point and it’s wonderful to see that Apple offers such a solid and affordable option right now.

IPhone enthusiasts will probably always want an iPhone 11 or something bigger, but the new SE is a great option for a first iPhone and for those who just don’t want to give up a Touch ID button. .

Apple iPhone XR

Apple iPhone XR – Best prices:

The last smartphone on this list still marketed directly by Apple is the iPhone XR, the intermediate level predecessor of the iPhone 11. It is sold from 709 euros by Apple, more than 100 euros less than the iPhone Apple 11.

Apple’s iPhone XR has a 6.1-inch LCD screen, six colors available, and also works with the latest version of Apple’s iPhone OS. It has a single camera on the back, capable of taking photos of people in portrait mode.

The battery life is excellent on the iPhone XR and its size is similar to that of the iPhone 11. For 200 euros less, however, I would seriously consider replacing the iPhone XR with the iPhone SE.

Apple iPhone XS Max

Apple iPhone XS Max – Best prices:

Although the XS Max is no longer available directly from Apple, mobile operators still offer it. If you want a large iPhone, then it’s a clever way to save money while offering you a device that still holds up particularly well today. You could even use these savings to get the latest AirPods Pro, so you can get the most out of Apple-branded devices.

The XS Max has the same physical characteristics with a stainless steel case, a glass back and front, wireless charging, a Lightning port and a touch navigation function with face identification. Three colors are available. The phone also has a dual camera system, IP68 dust and water resistance, and will continue to be updated by Apple.

Apple iPhone XS

Apple iPhone XS – Best prices:

Like its successor, the iPhone XS, is no longer available directly from Apple, but can be found with operators and other retailers, such as Amazon.

Improvements to the XS over the X include a new generation Apple processor, better dust and water resistance, and a slightly higher capacity battery.

The iPhone XS has the same compact size and performance. Enough to combine business with pleasure to spend the next few months, even the next few years, armed with a device that holds up particularly well!
