From a good perspective I think apple has what it takes to increase the ppi of that phone and make it crisper at least on text as we see on plus phones….what do u think… or what could be the reason
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 11 How beautiful could the iPhone 11 be if apple increased it ppi to the regular 401 as on plus sized iPhones?

They didn’t have to increase it beyond 326ppi. Because as it is, the Liquid Retina looks amazing. It’s the best LCD available in a smartphone.
There are videos in the internet where people struggle spotting the difference between the XR and XS. It’s not saying much but it puts things into perspective and the bottom line is, the display on XR/11 is great.

Apple doesn't need to change anything on the iPhone 11. It sells fine for what it is and it's price point... The 11 will stay the way it is until it's discontinued or repurposed
Higher PPI is needed if you hold the device closer to your eyes, like with 5.4-inch mini. With a 6.1-inch display, most consumers don't need higher than 326 PPI.
Personally, I think consumers would rather have a low-cost 6.5-inch LCD device rather than a higher PPI.

But if it’s adjusted to that 6.5 the ppi becomes worse on text as we know the 6.1 is still a bit different imagine when stretched further
I’m still waiting (likely forever) for a new Max/Plus iPhone that uses the 401 ppi LCD screen.
That screen is so important to me that I purchased an iPhone 8 Plus a few months ago.
I have a regular sized iPhone 8 and I definitely don’t like looking at it for long periods. Bugs my eyes after a while.

PPI is fixed number. Whether a display is 6.1-inch or 6.5-inch, the PPI can be the same. There is no "stretching." Think of how the 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro have the same 264 PPI and are equally sharp.
In general, the larger the display, there is less need for high PPI because the display is held further away. This is why iPhone and iPad mini have higher PPI.
Why specifically 401 PPI?
The 8 Plus is actually not pixel perfect like the other size iPhones are because they render at 3x and then downscaled. https://www.paintcodeapp.com/news/iphone-6-screens-demystified
