Released in 2019, the iPhone 11 is the successor to the hugely successful iPhone XR. It is considered as a lower-end model, yet it packs the same A13 Bionic chip as the top-end 11 Pro, so it’s just as fast and fluid to use. It boasts a 6.1” edge-to-edge LCD Liquid Retina display and a premium glass and aluminium design. The 12MP camera has two lenses (one telephoto, one wide angle) and it can record in 4K at 30 and 60fps. A big upgrade over the XR is the battery life and speed, although they both have the same LCD display. They’re also exactly the same size, making the 11 an easy upgrade.
