Which one is best for you?
As we’ve come to expect from Apple, the two most premium iPhones from 2019’s release are superb smartphones that marry gorgeous design with cutting-edge tech. From OLED screens to multi-lens camera arrays, major advances have been made across the board since 2018’s much admired iPhone X series.
Both these phones are encased in tough glass and stainless steel, and sport beautiful OLED screens which render your favourite games and box sets in glorious colour and pin-sharp detail. iPhone 11 Pro Max is a much bigger device, with a 6.5-inch OLED display. iPhone 11 Pro’s screen measures just 5.8 inches, making it much more pocketable.
Both have batteries that charge wirelessly, and both are driven by Apple’s powerful new A13 Bionic processor. 2019 was the year Apple really embraced multi-lens camera tech, and both phones feature a versatile 12+12+12-megapixel rear camera, and a 12-megapixel selfie cam.
Both are excellent phones, as you would expect. iPhone 11 Pro has a better screen and an extra lens on the camera – iPhone 11 is slightly larger yet easier on the pocket.
Ultimately, your choice will depend on whether you need a big screen to enjoy your favourite content, or a phone that slips neatly into your pocket.
