iPhone :
Apple claims that the battery life of the new iPhone 11 is an hour longer than that of the impressive iPhone XR, and in our tests this largely bored out. We were able to eke 24 hours' use out of it without needing to try too hard - although sadly there's no fast charger in the box, so if you do deplete the power pack you'll need to wait around three hours before it's fully juiced up.
The overall speed and performance of the iPhone 11 is robust - and especially so far the price. It's still one of the most powerful phones out there, according to our early benchmakers.
In reality that just translates to a solid experience when flipping in and out of apps - although we did note that the speed in firing up the camera was a little slow, and processing pictures took longer than expected for for a modern phone.
That said, given you can edit 4K footage at 60 frames per second on a smartphone, it seems like a pretty powerful device to have in your pocket - especially if you're a social influencer.
Overall the iPhone 11 is a triumph for Apple - if, for nothing else, the fact it's managed to lower the price year-on-year. We feel enough people are going to won over by the hard-working camera (check the night mode samples of the iPhone 11 on various pictures on internet) and the safety that buying a modern smartphone gives you.
You should be able to achieve years of use from this phone, and sure, you should also consider the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max if you want more power and higher spec, but we found the iPhone 11 to be fun to use and often outperformed what we would expect given the price - and that's a feat some would'nt have expected from Apple.
