iPhone 11 review (draft)

i have tested for the first time an iPhone 11 and an iPad Air 2

I turned on the devices and the iOS setup came up.

After the language selection -> Wi-Fi select I have to connect the device to the internet. In this case via Wi-Fi or mobile data.

There is no way to complete the setup without internet.

I discovered all this in under 2 minutes after unpacking the iOS devices. It is terrible. What if you don't have internet or don't want to connect to the internet? Then you get stuck in the iOS setup and can throw your iPhone and iPad in the trash. The same behavior applies to Apple Watch and Apple TV.

For comparison I have an Android smartphone and a DVD player. These devices can be used without internet, there is no need to connect to the internet in setup.
