Mann starts off by praising Apple's sophisticated approach to Night mode.

One thing I love about Apple's approach to Night mode is the strategic balance of solving a technical problem while also caring deeply about artistic expression. It's clear their team didn't take the let's-make-night-look-like-day approach, as some of their competitors have. Instead, it feels more like an embrace of what it actually is (night) while asking, "How do we capture the feel of this scene in a beautiful way?

While Mann's experience with the iPhone 11 Pro wasn't without issue — he said the new Camera app interface takes some getting used to — he believes Apple's new device is a must-buy for anyone serious about taking photos.

No matter what iPhone you are using now, if you are serious about shooting photos with your iPhone, this is a year to upgrade. Apple had some serious catching up to do and as a result, this year has brought a tremendous leap in camera capability. Night mode and the Ultra Wide lens will change how we tell stories and express ourselves as artists using our iPhones. Now is a really good time to jump in.

Mann posted some incredible examples in his review, many of which highlight the iPhone 11 Pro's new ultra wide angle camera. Read more on Mann's website.

  • Love that bird fisherman shot. Truly masterful.
  • So is there any disclosure anywhere about how he came to be in China with an unreleased phone? Any involvement by Apple per-chance? His website consists entirely of reviews of Apple cameras.
    Undoubtedly Apple is back in the camera game, but puff pieces like this do little to enhance its credibility. It doesn't help iMore's credibility either to promote it as a serious review.
