Hello, now I have a iPhone X and I am thinking about upgrade it. But I don’t know really which I have to choose, because iPhone 11 is so good but I am afraid about the screen, some people says that it can be a downgrade instead of a upgrade.
 
I think the best way to decide is go into an Apple store to compare them both for yourself. Some say the 11 screen is a clear downgrade and some say its just fine. I will say if you were coming from an older phone like a 7 or 8 then the 11 would be a no brainer but coming from a X you may have a hard time going back to LCD from OLED.
 
I was in an Apple store some times, but it is impossible to decide in those moments. I want to buy one of them and then test for some days, maybe I am going to buy first the 11, but I would like to know what do you think about that before buy it
 
I went into best buy last week by myself and actually took some time to compare the two. Camera and screen. I did see a yellowish hue on the pro compared to the 11 which bothered me. I (personally) could care less about telephoto, and I didn't really see much of a difference between the colors on the screens. So for me I'm happy with my 11. To be honest I also looked at the Note 10 plus and the screen and resolution on the was amazing, much better than the Iphone. So I guess it comes down to what do you use the phone for and do you really care that much about 1080, or OLED vs LCD... I really like my 11
 
For me the 11 was a no brainer. Like Ides of March said telephoto did not matter to me at all. Also to it came down to dollars. Knowing that I could get the same product for almost half the cost of the Pro Max the 11 made perfect sense.
 
And how much time do you can use your phone more or less? Like if you are going to go out at 8am, you haven’t to charge until 11pm for example?
 
I went from the X to the 11 Pro Max. Why? I wanted the big screen. Have had mine since launch day and I love this phone.

But if you don’t need the features of the Pro models I see nothing wrong with the 11 at all
 
I just traded in my iPhone XS for the iPhone 11 in White 2 days ago and I am so glad I opted for the iPhone 11 and not the PRO. I love the size of the PRO, but I felt like the side/edges were slick. And I don't use cases. The battery life on the IP11 is excellent, way better than the XS and I love the white with aluminum edge better than the PRO in silver and slick edges. I still have my SE when I need to go small but I really do like the size of the screen on the new Iphone11. It's perfect. While I did not care about price, I am satisfied that I paid $749 for the IP11 128GB and they gave me $500 for my old XS. I am very happy with my "upgrade". Hope this helps.

I just traded in my XS for the 11 128gb. I LOVE this phone. I like this screen just fine, bright and easier on the eyes. The battery life is tremendous and I ironically find the phone easier to carry because the aluminum edges are mot as slick as my XS. I usually like the smaller phones, but Apple nailed it with the IPhone 11. I love this phone.

I would go get the 11, if you like it, keep it, if not, get the 11Pro within your return window
 
I went from a X to 11 as well. I definitely noticed screen difference (and size of phone) but it only took a couple of days to settle in. Otherwise, this phone is a beast in performance and battery life.
 
Like a few have said, you may want to try purchasing the 11, see how you do with it, if you find it falls short of what you are looking for, go to the Pro.

I do want to say though, they are not the same phone. There is a definite difference between the Aluminum on the 11 and the Steel on the Pro models. The Pro is more durable, Im sure your not going diving with your phone, but the water resistance is better. I keep my music, photos, and videos on board, so the 512GB option was a bonus for me. The screen is always going to be subjective, and do you like taking a lot of photos? Because the camera is THAT good.
 
Yup, iPhone 11 should be the default for most people. The 128 GB model is a great deal, especially when its closest competitor, the Pixel 4, costs $799 USD (for 64 GB!) while the 128GB iPhone 11 costs $749.

Making the flagship the 11 was a brilliant move by Apple. It's not wonder it's a smash hit.

The iPhone XR has the exact same build as the 11. Why didn't you buy the XR last year?
