Apple iPhone 11 Specifications

Despite being years old, the iPhone 11 remains a competitive device. Here are the specifications that make it deserving.

Display

The base iPhone 11’s display looks similar to the iPhone X’s but is slightly bigger. It’s a 6.1″ Liquid Retina IPS LCD with 828×1792 pixels. While that doesn’t make it one of the most pixel-dense displays at 336 ppi, it gets very bright, peaking at around 625 nits on average.

The display gets protection from the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protecting it, making the display scratch and shatter-resistant to a high degree. Generally, the iPhone 11’s screen is one of the best in the market at its price point.

Processor

The iPhone uses an Apple A13 Bionic chipset on the 7 nm node, a quick and efficient processor that runs circles around some of Android’s best, even in 2023. With two Lightning (performance) cores and two Thunder (efficiency) cores, the iPhone 11’s hexa-core processor strikes the perfect balance between speed and battery life.

To complement the processing power, the iPhone 11 uses an in-house GPU fast enough to run anything on the App Store with virtually no stutter.

Battery

The iPhone 11 features a 3,11 mAh cell that measures 11.91 Wh. While that doesn’t look too good on paper, the iPhone’s efficient processor makes it last as long as prospective buyers would expect. With an iPhone 11, you don’t need a portable charger; each charge will always last until you return to a power source!

Cameras

The iPhone 11’s camera setup is a departure from older iPhones, as Apple decided to bolden the cutout instead of sticking to the minimalist look of preceding devices. The iPhone 11 features two cameras: a primary 12 MP wide sensor and a secondary 12 MP ultrawide. Also, the iPhone has a single 12 MP shooter on the front for selfies.

Unfortunately, the phone lacks a dedicated telephoto camera, making all zoom shots digital. On the bright side, it can shoot 4k at 60fps on the rear and selfie cameras, a first for the iPhone. It also uses HDR processing on photos and panorama shots.

RAM/Internal Storage

The iPhone 11 has 4 GB of RAM for all configurations, regardless of what storage option you buy. While that sounds tiny, especially from an Android user’s perspective, it’s plenty for an iPhone, as Apple only stopped releasing iPhones with 4 GB of RAM in 2023!

On the other hand, the iPhone 11 has three storage options: 64, 128, and 256 GB. While the 64 GB variant is usually easier to find, I recommend buying the highest storage option, as iPhones lack SD card slots.

Water-Resistance

The iPhone 11 is the first base iPhone with an IP68 water resistance rating, as it can survive in up to 2m of water for 30 minutes. However, you shouldn’t put the water resistance to the test if you’re buying the phone refurbished, as it may have lost its IP rating; Apple doesn’t offer warranty protection for water damage.

Operating System

A new iPhone 11 comes with iOS 13 out of the box. However, the OS is upgradeable to the latest version of iOS for now. Going by its release date and Apple’s antecedents, the company should continue to support the device for another few years before it stops releasing updates for the iPhone 11.

Price

The iPhone 11’s price may vary depending on the status of the device you’re buying. New ones are usually the most expensive, followed by refurbished ones, and then used. It’s worth noting that the most reliable platform for buying used iPhone 11 smartphones is Jiji; just ensure you read the safety guidelines before sending money to anyone.

Apple iPhone 11– user opinions and reviews

Used to get a new galaxy every year but I switched to iPhone(11) and never changed it since then 😅But I think it’s time to get the new 14 – apood

I upgraded to an iPhone 13 mini from my purple 11 and I kind of regret it. The 11 could do everything my 13 can and honestly the “dots” in nightmode shots on the 13 make me mad enough to consider “downgrading” to the 11, which didn’t have that problem. – Jordan R.

The iPhone 11 is still great, even though it’s almost 4 years old, I would definitely pick it over the iPhone SE 2022, you actually get more bang for your buck. if you don’t care about 5G, or an extra camera, 120 Hz OLED screen,, it’s definitely worth a purchase. – 123the prodigy
