![]() ![]() ![]() If you're looking to get an iPhone at a lower price tag, refurbished models are a great choice. The phone offers a range of features that make it a great device for both work and play. Used iphone 11 Apple's iPhone is one of the most popular smartphones on the market. Opt for the iPhone XR if you can’t afford the extra $100 and ignore the iPhone 11 Pros unless you have money to burn. Especially given the radical plans Apple has in store. These omissions won’t bother you in 2019 but they might by 2020 and definitely will by 2021 so spending much less on them in the first place will make a future upgrade less painful. Interestingly, the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR also make light of the biggest problems of the Pro range: no 90Hz displays and no 5G. In fact, it punches so close to the iPhone Pros as to make a mockery of their price tags. The ultrawide camera, improved selfie camera, performance boost, battery boost and superior 4G speeds are all beneficial features that are worth another $20 each. This year, I’d say the same about the iPhone 11 but at its lower price, the XR remains a compelling alternative.įor me, the iPhone 11 is worth the extra $100. ![]() Last year, I said it would be foolish to consider any iPhone other than the iPhone XR. The iPhone 11 (left) is worth its $100 premium over the iPhone XR (right) Apple Expect the iPhone 11 and XR to dominate iPhone sales. Why would you go Pro? There are some reasons, but none I find truly compelling. Meanwhile, the 64GB iPhone XR is almost half the price of the 64GB iPhone 11 Pro Max/ Crazier still. As such, a 64GB iPhone 11 is now $300 less than a 64GB iPhone 11 Pro and $400 less than an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Yes, these are genuinely affordable iPhones and Apple has even cut the iPhone 11 by $50 at each capacity compared to the iPhone XR’s price at launch.

This really is unacceptable in 2019 when fast chargers come with smartphones that are less than half the price (I’m looking at you Pocophone F1). The bad news? While the iPhone 11 Pros (at long last) get bundled 18W USB-C fast chargers, the iPhone 11 (like the iPhone XR) is stuck with the ancient 5W USB-A charger which has plagued iPhones for years. IPhone 11 battery life is slightly better than 2018 stamina king, the iPhone XR Apple That said, any smartphone lasting one hour longer than the iPhone XR is a beast. The company has also (perhaps rightly) given huge boosts to the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max to make them the range’s new stamina champs. Interestingly, the combination of its 5% larger battery and 40% more efficient chipset only see Apple claim an extra hour of battery life compared to the iPhone XR. The iPhone XR surprised many, and perhaps Apple customers most of all, by having the best battery life of any smartphone in 2018. And given the iPhone XR uses the slower iPhone X LTE, it’s going to be a lot more than 13% behind the iPhone 11. While Apple controversially skipped 5G for its new iPhones, the whole range has upgraded 4G LTE performance which is 13% faster than the iPhone XS. The iPhone 11 has significantly faster 4G LTE speeds than the iPhone XR. It enables ultra-precise location sharing which Apple boasts is “going to lead to amazing new capabilities” but details remain thin on the ground so it’s impossible to say whether this is a must-have advantage at this stage. The iPhone 11 family also has Apple’s mysterious new U1 Ultra-Wideband chip. Īpple's A13 Bionic is the fastest smartphone chipset in the world Apple Tip: ignore the term ‘Bionic’ because it’s marketing nonsense. That’s a jaw-dropping amount but, given the class-leading stamina of the iPhone XR last year, not a deal maker in itself. This year, Apple dropped its usual focus on the raw performance of its latest A chip to talk about efficiency and with good reason: the A13 is 40% more efficient than the A12. iPhone XR - Apple A12 ‘Bionic’ chipset: Six-Core CPU, Four-Core GPU, M12 motion coprocessor.iPhone 11 - Apple A13 Bionic chipset: Six-Core CPU, Four-Core GPU, Neural Engine - 8 cores.Read more - Apple iPhone 11 Vs iPhone 11 Pro: What's The Difference?Īpple’s A Series chipsets continue to dominate smartphone performance but the A13 looks set to do so in a different way. Again, this should come to the iPhone XR but we don’t yet know for sure. Less certain is Deep Fusion, Apple’s new computational image processing which hopes will compete with Google’s Pixel prowess. On the software side, the long-awaited Night mode debuts with the iPhone 11 but it should also come to the iPhone XR with iOS 13. ![]()
