Anyone have the iPhone 11?

I had an I phone many years ago but since then switched to android and have had many different makes. I can early upgrade for free to either the iPhone or the Samsung s20. The main thing I need is a phone with a decent battery and I quite like the sound of apples security.

So basically anyone who has the iPhone is it any good?

I like it, but it's I've had iPhones for years now (DH is a total apple fanboy), and it works with all the other iStuff in the house so can't imagine anything else.

I kinda wish I'd held out for the smaller one though. I have tiny hands and I'm getting used to it but it's a bit big.

Yeah, they're really excellent phones. The camera is out of this world.

I have iPhone 11plus and it's great. Battery lasts all day and the camera is amazing.

I have it, upgraded from the 7 and the battery is really good and long lasting.

I have an iPhone pro 11 but it’s too big! Makes my hand hurt to be honest.

ShyTown · 07/05/2020 15:44

Got the 11 yesterday after smashing my X. Battery and camera seem better, no complaints except that it’s much bigger and I have small hands!

Sexnotgender · 07/05/2020 15:45

I’ve got the 11 pro and it’s great.

I originally bought the XR but it was far too big for my hand so I sold it and got the 11 pro.
It’s much better in terms of size. Battery is great.

Thanks everyone. I've had Samsung's for ages and now I have a Google pixel A3 which has an amazing camera but the battery is awful. It's fine as long as I have no apps on it.

I have one and I love it.

The battery is fantastic, I only need to charge it every other night and I’m on it constantly.

And the camera is fantastic.

IAmLegendaryExtra · 07/05/2020 15:54

I have one and the battery is great and the camera is the best I’ve ever had so far!

Think I may miss android for some things but I just want a phone that works. I mainly use mine for phone, email, WhatsApp and here.

I’ve got an iPhone 11pro and a Samsung S8. The iPhone is definitely better

chunkycoke · 07/05/2020 17:20

I have the purple but it looks sort of grey. I wish I went for the blue!

Bluntness100 · 07/05/2020 17:23

Yes I got it a couple of weeks ago, it’s bigger than my previous one, which was the seven, the battery is great and lasts a lot longer, and as others said, the camera is much better.

Past that I don’t see a lot of difference between the seven and eleven, but I guess that’s not the question you’re asking..😀

Thank you I haven't had an iPhone in years. My last one was probably the 4

I'm quite liking the yellow but haven't seen it in to.

I’ve got the forest green. Really like it.

That green looks lovely but there's something about the yellow that draws me in. Then part of mes thinking maybe I should just get black as it's more grown up

I upgraded my iPhone 7 to the standard 11 at Christmas. Very happy

DominaShantotto · 07/05/2020 18:48

I got mine today - purple is disappointing and much more pastel grey, DH has the red which is stunning

Thighmageddon · 07/05/2020 18:53

How unwieldy is the 11?

I'm looking to upgrade right now and was looking at this model this morning along with the X range.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 07/05/2020 18:54

It’s tiny imo.

It's slightly bigger than my current phone which I find small but then again I always had the plus sized phones that were just to big
