   Indeed and their actually summary...   
      
   You DO realize a summary about a thing SUMS up the good and the bad, right.   
      
   ...was:   
      
   'But after using an iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max for the past   
   week, I think they’re more than the sum of several lightly updated   
   parts. These are some of the most well-balanced, most capable phones   
   Apple — or anyone — has ever made. They have excellent battery life,   
   processors that should keep them relevant for years to come, absolutely   
   beautiful displays, and a new camera system that generally outperforms   
   every other phone, which should get even better with a promised software   
   update later this fall.   
      
   Yes, they’re expensive. And yes, I think most people should probably buy   
   an iPhone 11, which has most of the same features, including the same   
   basic camera system, for $300 less. But if you want to pay more to have   
   the best display and the best camera, the iPhone 11 Pro is worth the   
   premium over the iPhone 11.'

   Did you note the large "9" score they gave the iPhone, "Arlen"?
