Apple may have skipped flashy extras on this year's phones, but the iPhone 11 is the best midtier model the company's ever made.

Even faster speed, improved battery life; The iPhone 11's cameras get an excellent new Night Mode and an ultrawide-angle camera that can add extra detail in photos; Fantastic video camera.

Only Pro models get the 2x telephoto; The ultrawide-angle camera doesn’t add Night Mode; No USB-C port; The Pro phones have a faster 18-watt charger but the iPhone 11 doesn't; Still has a good (but not OLED) display.

Update, Nov. 9: iPhone 12 is here. Read CNET's reviews of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The high price tag of flagship iPhones means that people who are wedded to the Apple eco-system and looking for an upgrade might be attracted to the more pocket-friendly iPhone 11.

Accurate and consistent exposure; Vivid and pleasant color; Good detail indoors and outdoors; Excellent ultra-wide performance; Accurate exposure and wide dynamic range; Good detail; Effective stabilization; Vivid and pleasant color

The iPhone 11 is the best iPhone to buy right now. It is cheaper than the Pro versions but shares flagship specs with them like the A13 Bionic chip, the two 12MP cameras minus the telephoto lens and a large battery. The LCD display is not as bad as you think. It is bright and color accurate.

This phone literally has no downsides. It is extremely responsive, the battery lasts for so long, there are so many helpful functions and the list goes on. I would highly recommend this phone!

Hassle Free & quickest iPhone purchse ever (literary took 5 minutes) and you get 2 years warranty unlike Apple's one year, so a peace of mind. And what a lovely phone, you can not tell the difference in OLED or LCD unless you put them side by side, same amazing camera and processor as the pro...

Apple has seen what most people want from the iPhone 11. Unless you’re a complete sucker for an OLED display, or particularly want the zoomed telephoto lens, there isn’t much you’re missing out on by not getting the Pro model. Especially when you consider the over £300/$300 saving you’re making. If you’re coming from an iPhone XR you might want to wait a year and see what the 2020 iPhone brings. However, if you’re updating an older iPhone then you’ll notice the vast array of improvements to camera, battery life and overall design straight away.

Great camera; Long-lasting battery; Really nice colour options; Surprisingly excellent value for an Apple phone;

A screen resolution bump would have been nice; Still no fast charger in the box;

Beware and read the really tiny print. This is limited to stock on hand so get there early or you won't get the deal. Would have been nice if they would have put that in bold print along with the special offer. Very disappointing.

This is my first iphone and not satisfied with it. I spend a lot of time in my vehicle so I like to use bluetooth to make calls. The phone drops calls before the three minute mark so I have, unfortunately, resorted to not using bluetooth. Apple needs a fix for the issue!

The best feature of this new iPhone is the price, though. At Rs 64,900 in India, this phone is way cheaper than what the iPhone XR was when it launched. Add a few deals and you might get it for even less.
