Apple iPhone 11, 64GB, Black (Renewed)

Product Information

The best feature on any new iPhone is the camera. Our lead camera analyst, Jim Fisher, looked at all the new iPhone cameras in a separate, detailed article. The iPhone 11, unlike the Pro and Pro Max, has two main cameras —a 12-megapixel "wide" camera and another 12-megapixel, 120-degree "ultra-wide" camera. We are least impressed with the Pro and Pro Max's third camera, a 2x zoom, so it looks like Apple made the right choice here in which sensors to include. One of the highlights of the iPhone XR was that it was easily one of the longest-lasting iPhones we’d seen, if not the longest-lasting. Dual 12MP Ultra Wide and Wide Cameras, Ultra Wide: f/2.4 Aperture and 120Degree Field of View, Wide: f/1.8 Aperture, Portrait Mode with Advanced Bokeh and Depth Control, Portrait Lighting with Six Effects (Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, High-key Mono), Optical Image Stabilisation (Wide), Five Element Lens (Ultra Wide), Six Element Lens (Wide), Brighter True Tone Flash with Slow Sync, Panorama (Up to 64MP), 100% Focus Pixels (Wide), Night Mode, Auto Adjustments, Next-generation Smart HDR for Photos, Wide Colour Capture for Photos and Live Photos, Advanced Red Eye Correction, Auto Image Stabilisation, Burst Mode, Photo Geotagging, Image Formats Captured: HEIF and JPEG We also noticed a definite improvement in exposure and contrast, even over the iPhone XS from the previous year, with more definition and detail in the shadowy areas.

The 11 uses a new version of the XR's 6.1-inch LCD, at the same 326ppi pixel density. Does that screen density matter? It does if you look at a lot of small text. And perhaps in a subtle push toward the more expensive phones, Apple puts some very small text on its home screens nowadays. The iPhone 11's 326ppi is certainly readable, but the Pro's higher-density 458ppi display is a little more restful if you're staring at it a lot. New to the Portrait mode effects in iOS 13 is High Key Mono, joining the Stage Light and Stage Light Mono options – at times it looks arty and professional, but if that foreground image isn't captured precisely, it looks a bit poor.

That's fine, and the implementation works well when you get used to the 'rhythm' of having to wait – but it means that when you hold down on icons on the home screen you’ll now need to choose the option to rearrange apps (or wiggle your finger on the screen slightly), rather than it just happening naturally. iPhone 11: battery life Up to 4K HDR AirPlay for mirroring, photos, and video out to Apple TV (2nd generation or later) or AirPlay 2‑enabled smart TV

The iPhone 11 display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less). As far as size, the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 11 falls between the Pro (5.8) and the Pro Max (6.5). It is an LCD panel rather than OLED, and with 1792 x 828 pixels, only delivers HD resolution. A13 Bionic Chipset One advantage the iPhone 11 has over all non-iPhones in the US, though, is its support for dual SIM with eSIM. iPhones are still the only phones sold by US carriers that you can put two lines on; the first line can be from any carrier, while the secondary line can come from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or a list of roaming and international carriers. This capability, which is popular abroad but up until last year was practically banned in the US, is great for folks trying to keep personal and business lines on their phones.

Clearly Apple still clearly believes that this is necessary to house the front-facing camera and advanced FaceID sensor to let users get into their phone.
