Which one is best for you?
iPhone 11 was 2019’s successor to the popular iPhone XR, and as such is a mid-sized phone with an impressive spec list that won’t break the bank. iPhone XS was 2018’s flagship phone, which has since been superseded by the incredible iPhone 11 Pro.
iPhone XS is a beautiful phone, encased in tough glass, and with a 5.8-inch capacitive OLED screen that renders all your favourite content in gorgeous colour and sharp contrast. iPhone 11’s 6.1-inch LCD screen is bigger, but not quite as sumptuous. Both phones feature a dual camera with 12-megapixel wide and telephoto lenses, but iPhone 11’s selfie camera has seen an upgrade to 12 megapixels.
Apple’s powerful new A13 Bionic chipset combines with a bigger battery to make iPhone 11 a more advanced smartphone, capable of handling any task you might throw at it.
iPhone XS is a smaller phone with a better screen, but otherwise the two phones are comparable. For a direct upgrade from iPhone XS, Apple’s 2019 flagship iPhone 11 is your best bet.
