iPhone 11

Released September 2019

The iPhone 11 is Apple's 6.1-inch standard iPhone from 2019, adding a 12MP ultra wide camera with Night mode, a 12MP front camera, the A13 Bionic chip and IP68 to the iPhone XR design, suited to anyone comparing older standard iPhones before upgrading.

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the iPhone 11 is fast, with long battery life and improved cameras, including a useful ultrawide and an excellent Night mode. Tom's Guide and GSMArena criticise the slow charger in the box; TechRadar found the design barely changed from the XR, and GSMArena found the screen low in resolution for its time, with a large notch and bezels.
