Just my opinion. I had an iPhone 8+ in red. I changed to the regular iPhone 11.
I got the yellow, as yellow is my favorite color. This yellow is a pale yellow, I think it is very pretty. The 8+ was wide for me as a female with small hands. This phone is narrower and weighs a little bit less; it feels better in my hand. Even though the differences in size are not that significant, it definitely feels better, not as burdensome. I hold my phone with one hand.
Cell phone reception on LTE is no better. I live in a rural area.
The screen and display colors do not appear better.
I have used the camera and it is a step up. A really nice camera with great features.
My thoughts: If you like your 8+, including the size, maybe hold out for a good deal on the iPhone pro max. Or wait until next year.
If the 8+ is a little large for you, try the iPhone pro (not max) or the iPhone 11, I do like the slightly smaller phone much better.
Getting used to no home button was surprisingly easy. It actually feels more intuitive without the home button, that surprised me, as I thought I would miss the home button a lot.
So, all in all, a nice phone. Pretty colors. Better size for me. Super nice camera. A good price. Good reviews. The screen and display - not a wow. Battery life, definitely better, definitely. Sound quality is infinitely better!!!
After the weekend with the phone, I am really liking it and the yellow color. I do not miss my 8+ at all. This size is so much better for me. And after seeing the yellow in different levels of brightness, it is a really pretty color. Not in your face, which I like.

Apple needs to bring back smaller phones for people who actually have to do things like go to work where having a phone is not the main thing in life but actually a tool that you pull out once in a while and then forget it it’s in your pocket.
