The 11 is basically an XS Max, with an LCD screen and slightly smaller size. So if that's worth $360 in savings, go for it.
I got the XS max last year only 64GB on the upgrade plan! I’m in the UK and the prices have really jumped! I was planning to down to the 11 pro before the prices were announced! I’m now going to go for the 11, it’s nearly £20 a month cheaper for me! Yes I’ll miss the 2x optical zoom but thinking the dual lens and ultra wide lens will make up for to!
I was thinking the same. But, when I compare my XsMax to my wife’s Xr I fell I’m going to miss the landscape and the screen quality.
Yeah jumping down from a beautiful crisp amoled display to a lcd display which doesn’t even have 1080p is a massive, massive downgrade. This honestly seems like a excuse to get a new phone.
Hold on to your XS for a long time is my advice. Go on a vacation or something you don’t need a new phone.

I’m in that same boat and am in the minority on the voting results with a different take.
Been a part of the AUP since Apple introduced it, using a 256GB XS Max the past year.
I use under 60GB of storage and was not overly impressed with the 11 Pro/Pro Max upgrades over what the base 11 offers. Not big on photography and battery life has never been an issue for me, so outside of the display, I don’t think I’ll be losing out much.
The 6.1” on the 11 will actually probably be the perfect size for me. The Max for me is just a little too big to use one handed.
Plus, I’ll save some cash, have a wider selection of colors to choose from, and next year, may go back to the Pro level phones if I find I am really missing a specific feature from them.
Just like I chose the gold color last year (never grew on me) but just kept it, I'm trying something new out this year.
I really wish they just offered both tiers of phones in the same sizes or swapped the sizes of the 11 and 11 Pro. I’d be on board with a 6.1” Pro.
