iPhone 11 The iPhone 11 has really a great display

[The-Real-Deal82]

That $1200 price was also what the iPhone 6S cost, with the 6S Plus another couple of hundred more, so the flagship iPhones have gone from $1200-$1500 back then to $1750-$2500 now...Which means today’s low tier iPhone costs the same as the 6S generation flagships...

I wouldn’t get too hung up on the term flagship though. The iPhone 11 is a similar price than previous flagship devices in all countries but that was before the introduction of the Pro edition iPhones. There’s two tiers now and the mid tier iPhones are nearly as capable as the Pro versions anyway, albeit a slightly less vibrant screen, one less camera and an aluminium chassis. To most that isn’t the appeal when it’s costs more and is largely insignificant.

The vast majority of iPhone users are not comfortable paying £1k+ for an iPhone, so the 11 satisfies the core market. $1200 AUD is roughly £587, which is cheap though. Is there a sales tax added to that?

There is more differences if you look into but you are one eyed and only see the $ difference so won’t.

Apple may be desperate for sales & sell the 12 cheap. You’ll be keeping them afloat! 😏


We sure are, & it’s gotten worse over the years.

notice the new iPads went up $100, even the folio cases went up 15%, any new iPhones will be through the roof with the dollar so low.

I am aware of the differences and don’t base my opinion purely on the price alone. I look at the differences and decide whether those differences are worth it personally from my perspective.

The key differences the Pro has over the iPhone 11 are as follows:

- Stainless steel chassis
- Additional telephoto camera lens (Dual cameras the same)
- 2 metres of additional water resistance
- 1 hour additional battery life
- OLED screen

Please highlight any other differences as those are quite minor in my opinion and feel the iPhone 11 offers enough of the important features to appeal. If you compare directly on the Apple website you’ll see how close in spec and performance these phones are. The importance of features is always very subjective I’d hope you’d agree.

Please feel free to point out features that I have missed that you feel are important. It’s good to have a balanced and civil discussion on this

I’m pretty sure it’s the same screen yes.

I don’t mind it but it’s average at best imo

The downside of the XR/11 LCD screen is a noticable drop in brightness when you view the screen off-axis. Previous LCD screens used in iPhones didn't have this. Other than that I agree it's a great screen with no OLED color shift where you can't even look straight at the screen without seeing two different tints with each eye.

Apart from the difference in resolution, I prefer the LCD panel. I do use both phones daily, so let me show you a small comparison pic:

Are both on the same network? Seems like the pro has better signal than the 11

No they are not. The Pro is on Vodafone ad the 11 on Deutsche Telekom (Germany)
