I considered the pro for maybe 5 minutes, ultimately I decided on the 11. Oled doesn’t really matter to me. None of my devices have it so I can’t miss what I don’t have. As for the cameras, it’s still a phone camera so it’s really not impressive enough for serious photography. In terms of performance they are now complete equals. The IP rating didn’t matter to me. How often will I be in a situation that I need that? I wouldn’t take any phone near the water without adequate protection. The 11 pro is an 11 with more bells and whistles. You guys can justify its premium price until your blue in the face. At the end of the day it’s not a better phone, it’s just a fancier phone.
Technically, it absolutely is a better phone. That isn't the question. The question is whether it is worth the extra money. The answer to that depends on each individual. It isn't worth it for you and that is fine. I bought the 11 Pro Max primarily for the larger/better screen. The superior battery life is also a plus.
