Phone Opinions Review

Apple has added another interesting option to its lineup with the all-new Apple iPhone 11, and on paper it looks like a device that wants to be your daily driver. Announced in 2019, September 10, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.

Design & Display

Up front there is a 6.1 inches, 90.3 cm 2 (~79.0% screen-to-body ratio) screen, pushing a resolution of 828 x 1792 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~326 ppi density). Colours look punchy and text stays clean, so you will not have much to complain about here. In terms of design, the Apple iPhone 11 keeps things modern and comfortable to hold. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Black.

Performance & Software

Under the hood you will find the Apple A13 Bionic (7 nm+), paired with 4GB of RAM. For the kind of tasks most of us throw at a phone, there is plenty of muscle here. It runs iOS 13, upgradable to iOS 27 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.

Camera

The camera setup is one of the talking points here, with a 12 MP sensor doing the heavy lifting. It is not a pro camera rig, but for everyday memories it gets the job done nicely.

Battery

Battery duties are handled by a Li-Ion 3110 mAh, non-removable (11.91 Wh) unit. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.

Our Opinion

After spending time with the spec sheet and what Apple is promising, here is where we land. What you are getting is a device that quietly covers the fundamentals rather than shouting about them. It gets the basics right, offering a dependable main camera, a crisp display, which is exactly what most buyers are really after. If your priority is a phone that just works, day in and day out, then this one deserves a spot on your shortlist. You could nitpick a few things, as you can with any phone in this bracket. But taken as a whole, the Apple iPhone 11 is a sensible, well-judged choice that should keep most users happy for a good while.
