Although it was launched in September 2019, it\u2019s still on sale more than two years later. But does this long lifetime hint at a brilliant phone?

The iPhone 11 was the mainstream model – if you wanted better features you could choose the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max. There wasn\u2019t an iPhone 11 mini – the nearest equivalent was the iPhone 11 SE (2020). You can still buy the iPhone 11 new, more than two years after its launch.<\/p>\n The iPhone 11 is noticeably bigger than the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13, and it\u2019s missing a couple of important features. Firstly, the screen is a regular LCD rather than an OLED – we\u2019ll explain why that matters later. Secondly, there\u2019s no 5G support, so it\u2019s arguably less future proof than more recent models.<\/p>\n Despite its age, the iPhone 11 compares surprisingly well to newer phones when it comes to outright speed. It\u2019s much cheaper than an iPhone 13 or iPhone 12, too. So should you forget the latest thing and buy a new or reconditioned iPhone 11<\/a> instead? Find out in our iPhone 11 review.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”design” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The iPhone 11 continued the \u2018bezel-free\u2019 design that Apple pioneered with the iPhone X. Its screen glass runs towards every edge of the phone, where it tapers slightly towards the metal edges of the chassis. The phone\u2019s borders are a little thicker than on newer iPhones, and they don\u2019t rise up flush to offer the same protection from edge impacts. While the front and back glass is extremely tough, it\u2019s not as resistant to shattering as Ceramic Shield, introduced from the iPhone 12 onwards.<\/p>\n This was the last iPhone to feature curved edges, which help it to sit more comfortably in the hand than the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13. That said, it\u2019s about 4mm longer and wider than the newer phones, a millimetre deeper, and it weighs 20-30 grams more.<\/p>\n Overall the iPhone 11 is perhaps a bit less comfortable and easy to use one-handed than an iPhone 12 or 13. It\u2019s verging on a big phone, so it\u2019s a shame that there\u2019s no mini variant. The closest you\u2019ll find is the iPhone SE (2020), but that\u2019s disappointing in other ways.<\/p>\n One meaningful difference between the iPhone 11 and later iPhones is that it\u2019s waterproof to two metres for 30 minutes. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are resistant at up to six metres for the same time.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||5px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_delay=”1000ms” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_delay=”2000ms” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”display” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The iPhone 11\u2019s 6.1\u201d LCD display is one of its biggest weaknesses when compared to newer iPhones. While every iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have OLED screens – as do the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max – the iPhone 11 missed out. The key difference is that an OLED screen is made of millions of tiny LED lights, while an LCD has one backlight, and millions of \u2018shutters\u2019 that can be opened or closed to let light through.<\/p>\n In theory an OLED screen uses less power, and offers higher brightness and contrast. That\u2019s certainly noticeable on the iPhone 11 – its display doesn\u2019t \u2018pop\u2019 like a newer phone\u2019s. The other drawback is that this screen has a lower resolution – 1,792×828 compared to the 2,532×1,170 of an iPhone 12. Its pixel density is lower, too – 326 pixels per inch (ppi), compared to 460ppi on the newer phone.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the best display, then, but it\u2019s still a good example of its type. While you might notice a lack of impact on games or films in particular, it needn\u2019t be a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”camera” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Apple tends to make evolutionary changes to the iPhone\u2019s camera setup, and there\u2019s not a huge physical difference between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. At the front, the 12-megapixel (MP) TrueDepth camera offers portrait mode, and supports 4K video recording at up to 60 frames per second (fps).<\/p>\n The iPhone 11\u2019s dual-camera rear system offers wide and ultra-wide lenses. Minor updates for the iPhone 12 saw it get an improved sensor, and a wider aperture wide lens to improve low-light performance, but the iPhone 11 doesn\u2019t give much else away. Its 12MP system offers 2X optical zoom, enhanced by up to 5X of digital zoom. There\u2019s optical image stabilisation, night mode, portrait mode, and similarly impressive video capabilities.<\/p>\n With an older feature set and less processing power than newer phones, the iPhone 11 lacks some of the latest features. It doesn\u2019t support HDR video recording with Dolby Vision and there\u2019s no night mode time lapse. You also miss out on Cinematic Mode, introduced with the iPhone 13.<\/p>\n On paper this isn\u2019t the greatest camera setup, but you\u2019d be hard-pressed to tell in practice. It\u2019s always responsive, and seems to focus quickly and accurately in most conditions. The iPhone 11 can resolve images in surprisingly dark conditions, even if an iPhone 12 or newer would add a bit of extra quality to the results.<\/p>\n For the most part, this phone still takes great photos and impressively cinematic videos. For most everyday purposes, it\u2019s more than capable enough.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″

to its own Bionic chips. Even at the launch of the iPhone 13, powered by the A15 Bionic, the competition still hadn\u2019t caught up to the iPhone 11\u2019s A13 Bionic processor.<\/p>\n In everyday use, the iPhone 11 always feels fast, responsive and fluid. Start up a demanding app and it\u2019ll usually be the same story – run some benchmarks and you\u2019ll discover why. In our testing, the iPhone 11 achieved a single-core Geekbench 5 score of 1,334. While that\u2019s less than the 1,590 we recorded from the iPhone 12, it\u2019s significantly more than the 1,100 you\u2019d get from even a OnePlus 9 Pro.<\/p>\n In 3D benchmarking, the iPhone 11 is second only to newer iPhones. It scored a best of 2,141 in the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark – very nearly matching the iPhone 12. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G won\u2019t break 1,800 on this test – the Google Pixel 4a managed just 299.<\/p>\n While the iPhone 11 is now some way behind the iPhone 13, it\u2019s still an impressively fast device. There\u2019s plenty of power here to keep casual and keen gamers happy for some time to come.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”battery” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n When it comes to how long a charged battery will last, Apple makes similar claims for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. In fact, our tests suggest that the iPhone 11 can actually go slightly longer between charges. It managed to loop an HD video for 14 hours and 45 minutes – almost an hour longer than the iPhone 12.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t hang about when charging, either. Hooked up to a 20W charger, the empty iPhone 11 hit 50% in 28 minutes, and went on to reach 80% in just 55 minutes. You can add a useful amount of charge after just a few minutes plugged in. Alternatively, you can top it up with a Qi wireless charger – it charged happily on the dock in a new car.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Battery life<\/strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_counters bar_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_counter percent=”100″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 13 Pro – Time = 19hr 2mins[\/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=”72.6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 12 – Time = 13hrs 50mins[\/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=”77.37″ bar_background_color=”#E09900″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|600|on||||||” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 11 – Time = 14hrs 45mins[\/et_pb_counter][\/et_pb_counters][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_counters bar_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_counter percent=”100″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 13 Pro – Time = 53mins[\/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=”100″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 12 – Time = 53mins[\/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=”96.36″ bar_background_color=”#E09900″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|600|on||||||” background_enable_video_mp4=”on” background_enable_video_webm=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” bar_background_color_default=”#0C71C3″ use_percentages=”off”]iPhone 11 – Time = 55mins[\/et_pb_counter][\/et_pb_counters][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n *Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”options” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You can buy a new iPhone 11<\/a> in 12 configurations: six colours, with either 64GB or 128GB of storage. The smaller capacity is a bit on the stingy side these days, especially if you like to shoot video, or keep large photo or music libraries on your phone. That said, the 64GB iPhone 11 is one of the cheapest new iPhones still available.<\/p>\n Buy a refurbished iPhone 11<\/a> and you\u2019ll get to choose from 64GB, 128GB or 256GB models – the biggest model was dropped in September 2021. You may or may not get a power adaptor or EarPods with an older phone. While the iPhone 11 had them at launch, by October 2020 Apple had removed them from all new iPhones to reduce electrical waste. The iPhone 11 doesn\u2019t support Apple\u2019s newer MagSafe cases and chargers, but you can still find a huge range of accessories to make it your own.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||5px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”quality” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It\u2019s rare to find build issues with the iPhone 11. At launch, criticism was mostly focused on the screen\u2019s ageing technology, but its reliability shouldn\u2019t be a problem. It\u2019s more likely that an iPhone will pick up scratches, or even suffer smashed glass over time. We always recommend keeping one in a case, and you might want to consider a screen protector, too.<\/p>\n The battery on any phone will degrade over time. You can monitor this on an iPhone by opening the Settings app, then choosing Battery>Battery Health. After more than a year\u2019s daily use, our refurbished iPhone 11 was showing 99% of its maximum capacity remaining, underlining that ageing is a gradual process – most second-hand phones have plenty of life left.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”verdict” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Not every iPhone is a huge step forward, but the iPhone 11 is now two steps behind. It gave away quite a bit to the iPhone 12, which has a better screen and 5G. The iPhone 13 put the boot in, with further improvements in performance, camera quality and battery life.<\/p>\n Bought new, the iPhone 11 isn\u2019t the bargain it looks – at least, not at Apple\u2019s prices. If you can\u2019t find a new iPhone 11 deal<\/a>, consider a refurbished iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 12 – they\u2019re much better phones.https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-11-pro<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple said that the iPhone 11 was \u2018just the right amount of everything\u2019, but that was in September 2019.
