How have people found it? So far I have found it hard to get use to no OLED and the larger size. Yet camera wise it’s miles better than the XS.

I feel 5.8” is the ideal size however it’s going 5.4” next year and the 11 likely to go OLED I may have to get use to the 11 size factor and get OLED back next year.

The phone feels lighter and less premium but still a good phone. Battery life is obviously miles better on the 11. Processor is decent.

So over all an upgrade on screen size and camera but not OLED. Price wise it’s a bargain

I tried a XR after a X and agree on all points.

The screen resolution was too much of a difference for me (maybe I’m just too gifted in terms of eyesight) but I returned the XR.
 
XS Max to 11. No problem going back. Maybe because I never had a problem viewing my iPad pro's LCD screen either.

I went from X to 11 for a few days, daytime use couldn’t see any difference in screen quality, however dark mode difference was night and day between my X and the 11

11 battery was fantastic though, but its just too big for me, 5.8 is the perfect size for me, that’s why my 11 is going back the weekend

Hold up...I cannot get passed your 5.4” comment. Why on earth would Apple go back down in size? 5.8” is literally the PERFECT size device for me...

Various outlets are reporting the entry pro size (11 pro successor) will be 5.4". It's early but I'm guessing this will prove true come next year.

If they do go ahead with the 5.4/6.1/6.7 next year

It’s a shame they didnt go for the redesign this year with the current sizes, and then next year bring the new sizes in

5.8 is on the money for my usage and comfort, yet next year if I wanted a redesign, poss notchless iphone with 5G I’ll have to go up a size (which I tried this year and didn’t get on with) or down a size
 
I don’t see a huge difference between the LCD and OLED screens. I had an XS, but gave it to my niece. I had the 11 for 3 days, then returned it. To heavy & thick. Now I’m using my iPhone 8, which works perfectly fine. Trying to resist buying the pro, and just buy one next year if it’s good.

It’s a unconfirmed RUMOR and really doesn’t make sense for Apple or the industry Togo backwards I doubt it’s gonna happen.
