Gave in and picked up the Black 128gb Iphone 11 today and I'm really surprised on how great the screen looks for not being OLED. Quality/build wise, I prefer it much more than the build of the Iphone X. Hard to explain but it feels more sturdy and solid compared to the X.

One thing I need to get used to again is handling a phone w/ screen size more than 6 inches. It's not that bad though as it's nowhere as a pain in the butt the 8 plus was for me.

Haven't tried taking pictures yet (just go the phone), but if the pictures that others posted here, i'm in for a treat when taking pics.

Overall, I'm glad I moved to the 11 and curious on the cell strength when I go back to the course an hour south of Edmonton on the weekend to see how it does.

One more thing, the restore from the iPhone X to the 11 went much, much more smoothly than when I went from the 8 to the X. One tip though, if you have the apple watch, don't unpair it from your old iphone. Once the restore was complete, my watch asked me if I wanted to pair the watch to the new phone. Once done, my watch was the same as it was when it was earlier.

quick update. The LTE connection appears to be much better at the campground/golf course. Instead of 1 steady bar of LTE, I can get 2 bars, which is great. Surfing the net, watching videos over LTE is much better as well.

this may sound weird but I really don’t miss OLED and think Liquid Retina is really good.

Very happy I moved to the 11.

i just got my iphone 11 today

have been using the iphone x since launch and it gave up on me with battery swelling and my screen popped up.

the apple store in my country has yet to reopen to enable be to fix/repair the iphone x, i bite the bullet and bought the 11.

wanted to hold out for the 12 actually.

now my plans are derailed.

so far i think the iphone 11 screen despite it not being oled is better than the iphone x

I have the iPhone 11 as well but came from a iPhone 6s Plus so can't notice the difference between screens really.

I like it a lot. Wanted the iPhone 11 Pro but it is ok. To be honest I don't think I really needed iPhone 11 Pro.
 
This phone takes great photos. Posted a pic I took earlier today on the golf course where there were geese on the course on the iPhone 11 pic thread.

128GB was the smart way to go on storage as i already used 47 GB of storage (incl apps, etc) on my iPhone 11 already. 64gb is indeed way too small nowadays.
