What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be putting the new iPhone 11 camera through its paces. The new iPhone 11's camera includes some nice new features like night mode, ultra wide photos and slo-mo selfies (or 'slofies') and we want you to see what kind of performance you can get out of it in an array of situations. We're talking about low light settings, portrait modes, macro shots, panoramics, slofies and more. And showing off the phone's video capabilities as well.

You can do all of the testing and reviewing at your own pace, provided we get your finished product within a week of receiving the device. Time is of the essence!
