Thinking of getting a red iPhone 11. Anybody with one here? How’s the red color, especially compared to previous red editions of iPhones?
Got a tip for us?

Absolutely beautiful. Saw it in store and looks so good, it'd be a crime to slap a case on it.

I personally like the red of the XR than the 11. The red 11 looks a bit rosier, like it skews a bit toward a diluted pinkish red than the pure, striking red of the XR. Not by
much, but I think it's noticeable. Otherwise I totally would have gone with it.

I heard someone describe it as a Ferrari Red. I went to the garage to confirm, but all I found was a 10 year old Honda.
In all seriousness, I’d describe it as a brighter and lighter red than last year. Last year was more of a blood red.

I had the red 11 and returned it for the black 11. It was brighter than I expected almost a fluorescent red of some sort. I loved it for two days and took it back.
That’s what I heard others are saying as well. Thanks for your input.

I think I know that it is red. My question is more of comparing it vs previous red iPhone renditions. Sometimes Apple render colors differently each year (ie. The variety of “space gray”).
Or if you’re just trolling, I’ll move along. Forgive me.

Glad that you like yours. I think the red 11 looks punchier compared to other options.

I have the red 11 and love it. Aside from my silver 6 Plus, all I have had was black phones from my old Samsung PCS dinosaur, to my Blackberry Bold, to every other iPhone I’ve had since the 3G (can’t count the original as all were silver with a black antenna cover).
I like the color of the aluminum chassis but since I’m clumsy, I got a case. I got a matching red Otterbox Lumen from Apple and I really like it. It is a bit bulky though.

I got the red iPhone 11 for my mom and so far she doesn’t have any complaints. Seems like she’s loving it .
Picture a cheap glossy red lipstick. Not nearly as sophisticated as the darker red of the Xr.
