I've had some solid time with my iPhone 11, and I can give a bit more detailed review of it. It's a very solid phone. I don't feel like I'm missing out on any speed compared to the pro. The LCD screen isn't an issue to me. I wanted the 11 pro max purely for the form factor and the biggest available battery. The battery on the 11 is definitely solid, but it's not close to what the 11 pro max is capable of. It's a phone I can see being reliable and enjoyable to use for 3-4 years. The 5th year is a crap shoot, but I am not in the position where I am forced to keep a phone that long. My hope is that by 2022 Apple will have DC dimming or some other way to negate the PWM issues we currently have. 5g will be more mature by then, and the alleged 6.7" iPhone sounds outstanding.
Things I don't like: I feel like Apple purposely gimped this phone in a few ways. They made the bezels more pronounced because they didn't want it to look as nice as the pro models. It isn't an issue with LCD technology, it's the fact they want people in public to immediately be able to recognize the difference between the 11 and the pros. I've read people on here saying if you don't have the 3 cameras on the back then you can't show off in public lol. The hype is real to some folks.
There are some NICE looking Android phones with LCD screens, like the Zenfone 6 I posted below. That looks way more "premium" than the 11, no question about it.
At the end of the day, Apple OLED doesn't work with my eyes, and I'm not trying to go back to Android again. I would give the iPhone 11 a solid 8/10, but the pro models are both 10/10, and it sucks to realise the only reason I can't own one is because of my eyes. I can not recommend the 11 to anyone except for 2 situations: You can't justify the price of the pro, or you suffer from PWM headaches. The pro phones are better in every single way than the 11, but the 11 has a lot of the things the pros have. I personally wish the 11 was the same form factor as the pro max. That's my biggest issue is how it feels smaller in my hand than my 8+ I'm coming from.
