Those bezels are as big if not bigger than the old iPhones. I was wondering why Apple didn’t bring oled to their whole line up because there aren’t many brands still on lcd in that price range.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 11 Review Roundup: Improved Camera, Battery Life, and Performance Result in the iPhone for 'Just About Everybody'

iPhone 11 surely isn’t intended to replace an iPhone XR.
But if you have a 6S it is a great upgrade, for instance.
Lol, I feel you. I’m wondering what would happen if people did a blind test with the phone what Pepsi did with Coca Cola in the past. Can’t imagine iPhone would come on top because you get less everything for the highest price.1792x828

Pixel and good quality screen on the same sentence ?While they are amazing at directing manufacture and calibrating the LCD screens, I just can’t see myself going back to those at this point after getting used to the really good quality samsung OLED screens on my iPhones and Pixels.
That said, Would have totally considered a 5S/SE sized phone with all of this tech though. Still have one I throw a SIM into every so often and love that form factor. I could deal with LCD in that size I guess
Apple's cunning is quite obvious: you want a smaller newer phone? pay the premium for the 11Pro. You wanna get even smaller huh? Then buy an Apple Watch!
What most consumers don't realize is you will slowly get used to the larger screen. It's part of the digital evolution and the way Apple's culture inherently works. Also, look at the revenue: may be too big for your pocket, but most young adults walk around with small bags/fanny packs to compensate for being on the go with multiple electronics.

There is literally ONE millimeter difference on the bezels.

If you stop looking at “numbers” and start looking at the display, you’ll find out the XR/11 screen is better than most of the so-called high end android phones.1792x828

As battery life and camera quality are concerned, the difference is night and day.
For the rest, the iPhone 8 still is a great phone.
Don't blame the phone when you should be blaming the bad coverage your provider finds acceptable.
Nobody should NEED 4x4 MIMO to be able to get decent coverage. Change provider!
Isn’t it uncomfortable sitting down on benches or chairs with a phone in your back pocket? I feel like that would drive me nuts.
Sadly you may be right, but since Apple does not currently offer a "small phone" option, we don't know the real demand for such an alternative.
There have been rumors about an SE2, even an iPhone 8 form factor with new internals, but alas, they remain rumors.
I have no data to support this theory, but I think Apple might be concerned that a "small phone", which consumers would expect to cost quite a bit less, would cut into their premium sales.
Yes just much slower and more poorly. I have games I play on multiple generations of iOS devices and the performance differences in intensive games is MASSIVE.
"but Apple hasn't done anything innovative with the base model iPhone this year"
Well it's hard to appear innovative when the reviewers are apparently incapable of understanding anything new!
UWB and AR support are the primary innovations this year. But both of those represent NEW ways of using the phone...
And the A13 CPU represents a true milestone -- the big core in the A13 is now equal in performance to the best core Apple offers in its Intel lineup, the i9-9900K in the iMac Pro...
You'd think that would be a fairly noteworthy point, no? Apple wasn't selling CPUs 10 years ago and now they have the fastest in the world...
(Of course Intel put more large cores on a die; but that's trivial; anyone can scale up lots of cores --- look at those ARM server companies with 32 48, 64 cores on a die. The hard part is getting a single core that's fast.)

iFixit will dissect iP11 on friday, camera model numbers might reveal something...
at low DPI that my eyesight easily resolves and makes text look blurrier to me
why Apple choose to go backwards in tech to save a few extra dollars in their pocket...
Steve would choose the better product. Tim chooses the better pay bonus.
“Stop believing your eyes and believe Apple’s marketing department instead. You’ll be much happier”.
I remember when getting a new iPhone felt so exciting. I have an iPhone 8+, and I'm not really compelled to get a new one this year. Not to say I won't, but I think I'll probably wait until next year at this point. I guess things have plateaued to the point that the "next big thing" is now just the "next thing".
That’s less true if you’re into taking pictures. The camera improvements are pretty substantial compared to the XS, which was a substantial improvement over the iPhone 8+. Not to mention the OLED screen - when I switched from my iPhone 8+ to my iPhone X it felt like an exciting upgrade all around (except the standard camera which was not improved, although the zoom had a larger aperture).
I did that for while when I had an SE and a 6 Plus at the same time. I still have the SE, actually, but I’m now used to carrying larger phones and have adapted my accessories to accommodate them. In fact I have carried two and even 3 large phones around sometimes since I started using Android phones, too.
I’m going with the 11 Pro for it’s small size relative to my Note 10+ and I think that will be an awesome combo for me.
Honestly I think Apple COULD do it on the last gen models, but have elected not to because they don’t like the way it performs without the full Focus Pixels of the new hardware. I’m sure that will upset some users (its MR after all) but Apple doesn’t like to enable features unless it meets a mark they’re comfortable.
Long story short, I believe the could enable it on the Xs but are not happy with the results due to the lack of hardware explicitly designed for it.
Replace wide with 2x zoom. Removed the most useful lens in order to force up sales.
Apple, there’s nothing wrong with an iPhone that fits in your hand that allows full screen access w/out having to use a special command to access certain areas of the screen.
