I just upgraded from the 11 to the 14 pro max, I have had my 11 since it came out, and it is more than an outstanding phone. For anyone on a "budget," switching from android, or who doesn't want to spend a good amount of money on a phone, the 11 is a perfect pick. I had no problems with mine for years, and it's a solid phone all around.
DOES THE ISLAND ANNOY YOU?? I want to upgrade from 11 too but I am scared cause i want to keep it for at least 5 years so if the island is annoying its going to be a disaster.
@@jokkekashmir8035 For sure, if you have a 13 pro max, then that’s more of a decision you have to make cause I upgraded from an 11, and it was well worth it in my case. But if you don’t care and have the money, go for it. It is currently the best phone out there rn. My 14 has been flawless so far, with no issues.
@@lianam.2350 Nah, the island Is fantastic. In my opinion, my brain doesn’t even register that It's there when I watch movies or videos. Some videos crop it out anyway. As far as its utilization, you’ll definitely find yourself using it more than you realize, And it's beneficial. If the island is the only thing you’re worried about, get the 14. It’s worth it, especially since you're coming from an 11, as I Did. Plus, I guarantee more and more app developers will find a way to make the island experience all that more enjoyable. In its current state, no, it’s not annoying at all. I can see myself using it for the next 4-5 years. 👍
Watching this on my Iphone 11. I just bought it yesterday and upgraded from a samsung a10 and i must say it feels so smooth and fast and i definitely recomend buying one in 2022
I still have the iPhone 11 (Purple) and I LOVE it. I don’t really see a need to upgrade. Apple outdid themselves with the 11, and the 12 and 13’s have been vague improvements. I think the 5G not being on the 11 isn’t a big problem, especially for me. The only thing and reason I want to upgrade to the 13 Pro is for the 120 Refresh Rate. Other than that, I think staying cheap will work if you’re going for the 11. Definitely recommend! Also LOVE the purple color. That’s the one I have and it’s a beautiful color.
120hz is nice but I have it off 99% of the time unless I’m showing my friends what it is😂 I turn it off to get about 10% more battery at the end of the day honestly
@@cosmicbeing348 120hz for 60% of games isn’t good enough yet, Plus it overheats your phone like crazy most of the time and drains much more battery. So like 3 hours battery life😂🤷♂️
Had mine for just over a year and so happy with it, it's my first ever iPhone (was a lifelong Android user). Performance is great, some of the iOS updates messed with battery life but for the most part it's been fine, my battery percent is at 91% which is strange since I usually only charge it overnight but still not bad. Geekbench scores have been pretty consistent. The 11 is the best option if you don't care about extra camera lenses and 5G but you want access to some features like precision finding for AirTags and Live Text etc, if you don't want those either then the XR is the next best thing!
Bro every thing you said about your iPhone 11 is correct as well about mine. I also have mine for more than a year and it is my first iPhone as well. What a coincidence
Another first time Iphone owner here. Had mine for 2 years, cant say anything bad about the phone but just couldnt get used to some ios restrictions. Some stupid stuff like the battery % not being shown in the top corner, not being able to have just 4 5 apps on the bottom of the homepage etc., but most of all the look of the phone with thick black border around the screen and the notch. I switched to galaxy S21 FE and so far i feel free like a bird but one thing i will admit, the main social media apss(insta, twitter, facebook) are so much better optimised on ios. But for people that dont care about the little stuff, the iphone 11 is an amazing phone and would recommend it to anyone considering to buy an iphone without spending a lot of money. Cheers everyone!
Thank you for the video. I upgraded my phone from ip6s to ip11 last year while all my friends bought ip12 pro max. Ip11 is so affordable imo. After watching your video, I appreciate my ip11 a lot.
The only thing new iPhones offer that is noticeable are -Better screen -More zoom -Better battery The only one that affects people the most is screen honestly because that’s what you look at… new iPhones are brighter but I literally keep my phone at 40% brightness all day and outside at about 70%
just got iPhone 11 purple so this has been very helpful. Am 75 & love technology even tho some of it is overwhelming when u began w/ a transistor radio in 1959! Giving all the tech advances my best!
I’ve had my iPhone 11 (white/125gb) for about a year now, and it’s so so good! It’s had absolutely NO issues whatsoever in all that time I’ve had it! I definitely recommend it for anybody looking to upgrade to a new phone that’s not brand new but still works! :)) I am waiting to upgrade when the future iPhone 14 releases, but until then, I’m keeping my amazing 11
Upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 14, and the only difference I see is the better screen and camera. Other than that, everything is identical, not counting the design itself.
hi. how significant is the difference between 11 and 14's video camera? I'm deciding whether to buy 11 which is a lot cheaper or wait some time for 14 to have price drop hehe. thank you!
My first iPhone is the 11. I switched from always having the latest Samsung flagship model android phones. My workplace issues me an iPhone 11. When I left that job, I decided to buy an iPhone 11. I will never go back to Android. I’m totally content with the screen resolution. Doesn’t eat battery life. Great phone!
i wanted to get an iphone after being a heavy android user for 10 years almost, and my aunt saw this iphone on offer at the mobile operator, i don't want a phone to have a batter that lasts a full year, i just want a phone that doesn't lag and gets me through the day, and the 11 fulfilled it all, despite the screen module defect it had, would definitely get another iphone
iPhone XR or 11 both stands really good and you could easily go with these two without thinking a lot. You just have to decide which goes well with your requirements XR or 11
bought a purple iPhone 11 128gb in 2019 and been using it till today. Not planning to switch to any phone as it has everything I need. Might change a new battery as it started to drain a bit. Overall its a freaking good phone even in 2022.
I'm very satisfied with my 11 red. I have a 12 that belongs to the company and I don't see any performance differences. Battery is at 84% and working fine. I'm having 2 more years using it.
I’ve had my 11 for over two years now. It’s been the best phone I’ve had. To bad I didn’t treat my battery the best. It’s down to 75% meaning it die’s incredibly quickly. I’m upgrading to the 13 pro just because my two year plan is ending. If you don’t have a plan and are in the same place as me with the battery then just replace the battery. It’s an amazing phone and runs great.
just got a brand new 11 after 3 years of having the 6s, great all round the battery is by far the biggest upgrade with it the great cameras. One thing i hate though are the thick bezels really adds a lot to the width and is something i cant unsee
Brandon, I doubt you will remember me, but it’s Canine. I told you multiple videos ago I would be trying to get an iPhone 11, and i finally got it. I just wanna say, all of your videos has helped me make up my mind. Thanks!
Those of us with only one phone, it’s pretty obligatory to have to use a case. Anything like a clear OtterBox symmetry or even a Spigen ultra hybrid 2 do the job. I could never use a phone naked at these prices, just not worth it
I have an iPhone 11 since it came out. I’m very impressed with its features and quality. The battery is close to replacement time. I’m considering buying another iPhone 11 in lieu of battery replacement (I live overseas and repair work is sketchy). For the price, it’s an excellent phone.
I bought the 11 when it came out, and have used it every day for almost 3 years. I will say, especially with the release of the iPhone 14, you’re much better if with a 12 if you’re interested in the best value or an SE if you’re looking for super budget. A sub 1080p is noticeable and a little frustrating, the chunky bezels feel really dated, and the lack of an OLED panel is pretty disappointing. Quality of life hardware like ceramic shield and MagSafe are also really nice to have. I would strongly suggest anyone looking at the 11 in late 2022 get the 12 instead, especially for that OLED screen.
Many people have a different opinion, as the iPhone 12 would be the one to skip. I’m personally expecting an 11 / 128Gb to replace my 5 years old 8+ / 256Gb. And if it wouldn’t be malfunctioning I would have stick to my 8+. Still I’m very happy to have found a way to get an iPhone 11 as a replacement, because the last thing I would want is a 5G phone. Not for me. No thanks.
@@SymonSaysTV whats wrong with a 5g phone? 4g is completely compatible and having 5g is just futureproofing. considering you're still using an iphone 8, you dont seem to upgrade your phone very often so i'd go with the 12 cause it'll be better in the long run
just bought the 11. Ye the display is shit even when coming from a midrange Samsung. It's not really a big problem for me though as my usage is pretty basic. Not gonna pour an extra $200 just for the screen lol.
I bought the 13 Pro max last year, upgrading from the 11. Nowadays, I just cannot leave with that refresh rate anymore, even seeing the video of you using it now bothered me. However, it is a feature that you only start to notice once you go up to 120 Hz. Besides that no complains about the 11.
@@tsuyuasui7297 fluidity, silker scrolling, quicker animations, better touch response this is extremely noticeable if your play games where quick reactions are needed. Hope this explaination helps
Watching this on my 6 months old iPhone 11 and I absolutely love it! Amazing performance, amazing battery life, beautiful colors, amazing cameras. Literally a perfect phone!💜
@@BudiSetiawan-kl9oy absolutely not. My capacity is at 97% now but I’m still having phenomenal battery life. 8 to up to 12 or more hours of total usage every day which is the best I’ve ever had on any iPhone so far
I loved my iPhone 11 and planned on keeping it longer than I did, but the screen scratches were a huge problem, and I’m not just talking micro scratches. I never had a phone scratch so easily before, and I upgraded from an iPhone 7 which didn’t have this problem. I wouldn’t recommend buying a used 11 for that reason alone.
@@BrandonButch Great video Brandon, yes, I would have to agree, the iPhone 11 is almost perfect in 2022. If you do not care about 5G, OLED or 120 Hz refresh rate, it’s a great value.
Please help me I need a I phone because it is my dream phone but I can't afford it because I am student now and belong to poor family please help me 😭😭😭💔💔😭😭😭😭For God sake please help me please 🙏
Here’s the opinion from an iPhone 11 user personally. I got this phone 1 year and a bit ago and I was super satisfied. The phone still holds up today. My battery health is 89% not 100% like yours. But this is after constant use after 390 odd days. The cameras are amazing. They’d beat any midrange phone from 2020 and heck, even some today it’s so good. Even though I think this price is still a little high for the age of this phone. It’s still well worth it. If I was offered the iPhone 11 or 12, I’d go the 11. Brilliant phone.
Workaround for Managing OLED PWM Open Settings on the OLED iPhone / iPad, and head to ‘Display & Brightness’ Set the Brightness level to 90% or higher (100% tends to work best for most) Next go to ‘Accessibility’ settings, and go to ‘Display & Text Size’ Enable ‘Reduce White Point’ and adjust the slider to a suitable screen brightness level If you’re lucky, you may notice a difference immediately.
I tried the workaround you mentioned. It helps somewhat, but for me it got to a point where I had to get a new phone. PWM really can cause significant eye strain.
I use a standard 11 in black with 128gb of storage! I love it cameras are amazing so it’s battery and performance! The display is big and pretty good even though it’s lcd the way apple tuned it. And it has a premium stunning build in design! Still the phone most people should get.
Please help me I need a I phone because it is my dream phone but I can't afford it because I am student now and belong to poor family please help me 😭😭😭💔💔😭😭😭😭For God sake please help me please 🙏
I got an 11 and am going on 2 years of it as of early May. It’s been great, but I absolutely throttled its battery in the first year, year and a half of owning it (too much gaming/gaming addiction that’s now non-existent but took a while to kick). It’s currently sitting at 82% battery health (which is not good for my job in certain times of the year…I teach band + marching band, so some long days in the fall), and I honestly cannot wait to upgrade to the 13 or 13 Pro. I’d like a brighter screen (for checking drill outside during marching band) and longer battery life (for those long competition days), and I also do a bit of recording for the church my wife is a music director at. So…13 Pro it may be. Phone is paid off, Apple’s offering me more to trade it in given its good condition (more than Spectrum via Assurant), so while the 11’s been been good to me, it’s ‘bout time to move on. I’m used to getting the next minor upgrade before a more “major” one (8 before the X, 11 before the 12), so I’m fine with a 13 or 13 Pro while the 14 goes through its hype-cycle and then is slightly improved when it comes time for me to upgrade again in 2 years. 🙂 (Maybe we’ll have a full-screen iPhone by then. 🤩)
@@yrmnk That’s awesome! I also watched Brandon’s video when I first got my 11 (I think that was actually how I discovered his channel, finding his videos on battery tips and “First 11 Things To Do” type videos), and while I followed most of those tips (and still do), my battery is just shot from all the gaming I did in the first year+ of owning it. (And a lot of driving while using directions and the sun really heating it up on my dashboard mount. 😓🥴) Whatever phone I get next, I’m definitey going to keep that battery health as high as I can and take good care of it. 🤙🏼💪🏼👌🏼
@Tj Semeniuk For sure! I’ve thought of that, but I’m a little impatient when it comes to new phones😅, so I’m just riding it out until this coming Sunday - already got my case for a 13 Pro, screen protector’s coming soon, and I’ma take real good care of that great battery!
Still rocking the 128 GB 11 I bought from TMobile in October of 19 and am still loving it as much as the day I got it. I forget most times this is a 2 and a half year old phone. Does not run like it that is for sure. Love your vids man!!!!! You have helped me to decide to jump to a few betas over the past few years to test them out. The LTE performance is also my biggest complaint about this 11. I really wished it had the 4X4 MIMO LTE.
@Billy Shute Yeah, I remember hearing about that. BTW now using AT&T with redpocket. Visible started giving me a lot of issues in my area. Can't wait to see what the newer devices offer in terms of reception.
I bought a used 100% battery health iphone 11 in Philippines and it arrived a week ago and I don't have any issues with the phone it's really still a beast tried mcpe my favorite game of all time and it's rlly smooth
iPhone 11 performs more than well enough for a phone in 2022, I would say in practice the only feature I notice that's missing is FaceID with a mask on, which only works on 12 and above. 5G typically requires a new phone plan and still has choppy coverage anyway, and the LCD display is generally more than enough for consuming media in good quality. The camera and processing power are more than adequate and I don't think most people won't notice a difference other than in niche edge-case scenarios.
@@nateholden7598 Like its predecessor the iPhone XR, the base iPhone 11 has an LCD display. (11 Pro models do however feature OLED) You can search this up to confirm this, and you can also test by looking at a black image in a dark room and seeing if your phone emits any light at all. An LCD display would show a very dim dark grey and will produce some light, while an OLED should look indifferent to the phone being turned off.
@@boxbird5723 I own multiple Android devices with OLED displays. Google pixel 2. LGv35ThinQ. I also don't have an iPhone 11. (I also don't want one.) I have an iPhone 3GS. An iPhone 4S iPhone 6+ (Main iPhone rn)
I got the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro from Amazon! I got it with 512 GB for around $520! I live in a country where the exchange rate is really bad so it was quite expensive but that’s why the iphone 11 was the best I could buy especially because I’m only 14. ( I had to pay for it ) I had to get It sent to New York to someone I know and then they brought it to where I live when they came back. It was really complicated but I’m really glad I bought it! I don’t regret anything!
Using iPhone 11 for 2 years, unfortunately last year it got some defects the entire phone refuse to turn on, and Apple replaced another iPhone 11 for me few days later and till today I am very happy with it. There aren't any performance issue and in fact this iPhone 11 gives me the best Apple experience. The iOS updates might have some software bugs occasionally . Camera works perfectly. I don't need 5G since my country still testing it. My parent's XR still doing fine even so many years I do not have to worry to get another phone for them.
I just got this phone, traded my Samsung galaxy S21 FE 5G a few days ago - after being an OG Android user for such a looong time. And I'm loving every single day of it and surely not looking back. The software I think is the biggest differentiator versus Android. In my Samsung fone, even though it has the latest processor, I still experience jitters and lags. But on my iPhone, not a single instance. And I guess my iOS era has started
Great video very detailed I brought this iPhone 11 dual sim 128gug for my second daughter for her bday she was more than happy. I found out her iPhone is dual sim it has two Imei numbers in the future we travel no issues 😊💜💜💜
I have the iPhone 11 Pro. Best iPhone I've ever owned. Particularly love the camera with 2X mode. The one nuisance is starting streaming audio, eg. a radio station. I often have to turn off wifi and start the stream on the data network and then turn wifi back on. Weird. I hoped that would change with update to iOS 15, but no difference.
Been an Android user my whole smartphone life. I decided to get the iPhone 11 when it released in 2019. Still going strong 3 whole years later. This phone has been so reliable compared to my old Androids which tend to show their age after a year. I'm sure my iPhone slowed down and battery has degraded a bit but it's not that noticeable and I don't see the need to upgrade for at least another 2 years. Plus, the Apple ecosystem is what's up. Bought an iPad and a refurbished MacBook Pro with the stimulus checks and wow. Money well spent.
You can also replace the battery for cheap at any third party repair center and you'll get it back to it's glory. 3 years surely degraded the battery a lot
@@lukelader My battery is currently at 85% capacity which isn't terrible. It hasn't caused me any issues yet. Still lasts me a whole day unless I'm filming all day with it or something.
I just got an iPhone 13 after having an iPhone 11 for a little over 2 years; I would NOT have upgraded if my carrier hadn't given me the 13 for free because I was still really happy with the 11. I honestly thought the 11 would be my phone for a few more years and was even hesitant to trade it in! For the price, I'd say go for it; the 11 is more than sufficient and will last several more years.
Who’s your carrier if you don’t mind me asking lol?! I just finished a 2 year contract with T-Mobile this month on my iPhone 11. Looking to upgrade but everything is so expensive!
Bought this phone 2 months ago for 589 euro fresh out of the box (not refurbished) in the color black. after using the 7 for years lol idc for the new models. the 11 does the job.
I still used my Iphone 11 and it’s still do great for me. I bought it in 2020. Maybe since I am just a normal user anyway. I only used it for imessage, facetime, check out SNS and other basic things plus I also have a Samsung phone too so I really don’t overused it. For watching video i used either my ipad or macbook and for school works I used my macbook. The reason I didn’t upgrade for 12 or 13 is because I prioritize to but new Ipad & Macbook first. I will probably upgrade for 14 though.
Funny the timing on this literally just went from a 12 pro max to a brand new product red 11 and I’m loving it. The design and feel is so much better and more comfortable than my pro max I honestly got sick of feeling like I’m holding a brick all the time lol! The only drawback from me is the lack of 5G for going forward but having Verizon LTE is just fine.
I have a 11 pro max. I love it. It’s my first iPhone. It’s over 2 years old. Runs perfectly. I’ve had no problems with it. I’m getting my 12 year old son a iPhone 11.
i just bought one last week, it’s so pretty and the photos i take are so good, i don’t mind the lack of 5g since i mostly use wifi and turn it on airplane mode anyway. the battery life is good too but i definitely would need a powerbank when i go out since spotify eats it >.
I feel like the 11 is and will be the new “SE” very soon. It’s kind of priced as such. Maybe Apple will move to 2 SE models so they can appease the home button crowd and the budget crowd, still, who wants some more screen real estate. 🤷🏼♂️ Whatch’all think?
Please help me I need a I phone because it is my dream phone but I can't afford it because I am student now and belong to poor family please help me 😭😭😭💔💔😭😭😭😭For God sake please help me please 🙏
Loved this phone. Had a 64 gb mint green, used it for about 2 yrs. Honestly the only reason I upgraded to my pink iPhone 13 256 gb was for storage (I only use local storage) and for the 5G (which has been SO much better for me, especially since I always run my VPN connection on my phone & it eats up my data. My data plan is unlimited but T-Mobile slows it down a bit after 50 gb a month. With 5G everything is waaay more smooth than this experience was on LTE, which would stutter like crazy and take FOREVER to load after the 50 gb limit. It never cuts off my data but the faster it is for me the better lol). Overall 100% worth it. The OLED screen is way better but honestly I sort of liked the colors on the LCD too…all in all if you don’t care about 5G, have a budget, and are open to using iCloud if need be then I see absolutely zero reason NOT to get this phone.
Got mines 2 weeks ago . Love it . Probably will get about 3 or more years of iOS updates . That’s better any android in this price range . Battery is great . Off charger at 4am and at 2pm I’m at 70% your mileage will vary since everyone uses there phone differently . If your in a budget get the iPhone 11 if budget is not an issue get the 13. LTE speeds are good . At work download speeds are between 200-300mb. At home is where I get slow speeds due to reception but that why I have Wi-Fi.
I have a Samsung right now and I've never bought an iPhone before and I was wondering which one was good and bad and this really helped me decide. Thank you for this video!!!! ❤
Great video, good information. Looking to get the 11, since I am running the SE(2016), I have the 8 Plus, but just too big for pocket carry, the 12 mini or 13 mini are out my price range.
I specifically went for an iPhone 11 because it doesn't have 5g. I was also fed up with cheap, underpowered android phones, as the last one I had lagged during the setup process.
I use both my 11 and 12pro I kinda regretted upgrading because it’s basically the same phone and the camera is not that big of a difference but I decided to keep the 12 pro just to have two phones
still rocking my Iphone 11 wish they would make more LCD's for people that can not handle PWM. I went from the iphone xr to the 12 when it first came out and because of the flicker I had headaches so bad I could barely keep my eyes open I ended up taking the iphone 12 back and got the iphone 11 and have enjoyed it ever since.
I just bought one 3 weeks ago and I love it. It's my first ever iPhone after 12.5 years with Android, so I really didn't have a point of reference, and did not want to get something that was too expensive for me. I personally feel that if this is your first ever iPhone, it certainly isn't a bad introduction to iOS. I bought the Mint varient and it is lovely 📱💖👏🏽😍😘
Got myself an iPhone Xs few months ago, on the refurbished market its more expensive than an SE 2020 but if you want the newest design for almost the same price and almost the same performance, the Xs is a great choice (not talking about the Xr because in my case I had a 20 bucks difference between Xr and Xs so I took the best option for a few bucks more) My next iPhone in some few years will probably be a refurbished iPhone 13 or the latest iPhone in new condition (If I have the money for it)
I have the iPhone XS/10s and I am probably going to be getting the 11 this phone is a decent phone for it’s battery, size, and speed and camera but I do want 11 for a little more battery and the colors
The thing with ceramic shield, your 11 will actually be more scratch resistant, however at the cost of being less shatter resistant. Ceramic shield is softer glass, which in turn makes it more shatter resistant with the cost of being a scratch magnet
Hiiii :) Just wanted to ask, what makes you love the 11 more? I was going to buy the 13 but so many people have told me the 11 is the best - hoping to hear back from you :)
@@ducks1321 to me the 11 is a bit bigger and fit my hand more than 13. The round edge make it easier to hold than the square. But if you looking for better screen and camera I suggest u consider 13. And personally ip11 was the first iPhone in many years cuz I been using Samsung for quite some time.

120hz is nice but I have it off 99% of the time unless I’m showing my friends what it is😂 I turn it off to get about 10% more battery at the end of the day honestly

I just got the iphone 11(white)like a few days ago and I LOVE IT SO FAR! I went from iPhone 6 to 11 and the battery is amazing compared to the 6
i also got it 2 months ago, new from apple, its a really good phone, not any far away from iphone 12 or 13
Had mine for just over a year and so happy with it, it's my first ever iPhone (was a lifelong Android user). Performance is great, some of the iOS updates messed with battery life but for the most part it's been fine, my battery percent is at 91% which is strange since I usually only charge it overnight but still not bad. Geekbench scores have been pretty consistent. The 11 is the best option if you don't care about extra camera lenses and 5G but you want access to some features like precision finding for AirTags and Live Text etc, if you don't want those either then the XR is the next best thing!
Bro every thing you said about your iPhone 11 is correct as well about mine. I also have mine for more than a year and it is my first iPhone as well. What a coincidence
Another first time Iphone owner here. Had mine for 2 years, cant say anything bad about the phone but just couldnt get used to some ios restrictions. Some stupid stuff like the battery % not being shown in the top corner, not being able to have just 4 5 apps on the bottom of the homepage etc., but most of all the look of the phone with thick black border around the screen and the notch. I switched to galaxy S21 FE and so far i feel free like a bird but one thing i will admit, the main social media apss(insta, twitter, facebook) are so much better optimised on ios. But for people that dont care about the little stuff, the iphone 11 is an amazing phone and would recommend it to anyone considering to buy an iphone without spending a lot of money. Cheers everyone!
I also purchased my first iPhone, iPhone 11 at the end of 2020, and I have liked it so far😊
iOS 15 halved the battery on mine ffs
Did you fix the battery problems?
Thank you for the video. I upgraded my phone from ip6s to ip11 last year while all my friends bought ip12 pro max. Ip11 is so affordable imo. After watching your video, I appreciate my ip11 a lot.
The only thing new iPhones offer that is noticeable are
-Better screen
-More zoom
-Better battery
The only one that affects people the most is screen honestly because that’s what you look at… new iPhones are brighter but I literally keep my phone at 40% brightness all day and outside at about 70%
I have an 11. I think it’s a great phone. No issues. I don’t have 5G where I live so that is not a problem for me.
Going from an android to iPhone 11. I’m ordering my iPhone tonight and the plan is to set it up next weekend. Ty for posting this video! Helped a lot.
Same here. I been rockin with android for years.
Amazing phone. I got one 18 months ago. It's the best phone I've ever had. 256Gb model rocks!
Nice! Great decision to go with 256GB!
just got iPhone 11 purple so this has been very helpful. Am 75 & love technology even tho some of it is overwhelming when u began w/ a transistor radio in 1959! Giving all the tech advances my best!
I’ve had my iPhone 11 (white/125gb) for about a year now, and it’s so so good! It’s had absolutely NO issues whatsoever in all that time I’ve had it! I definitely recommend it for anybody looking to upgrade to a new phone that’s not brand new but still works! :)) I am waiting to upgrade when the future iPhone 14 releases, but until then, I’m keeping my amazing 11
Upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 14, and the only difference I see is the better screen and camera. Other than that, everything is identical, not counting the design itself.
hi. how significant is the difference between 11 and 14's video camera? I'm deciding whether to buy 11 which is a lot cheaper or wait some time for 14 to have price drop hehe. thank you!
I just upgraded from the 7 to 11 it’s amazing! Love the bigger phone and way faster

My first iPhone is the 11. I switched from always having the latest Samsung flagship model android phones. My workplace issues me an iPhone 11. When I left that job, I decided to buy an iPhone 11. I will never go back to Android. I’m totally content with the screen resolution. Doesn’t eat battery life. Great phone!
i wanted to get an iphone after being a heavy android user for 10 years almost, and my aunt saw this iphone on offer at the mobile operator, i don't want a phone to have a batter that lasts a full year, i just want a phone that doesn't lag and gets me through the day, and the 11 fulfilled it all, despite the screen module defect it had, would definitely get another iphone
One of my good friends upgraded from an iPhone 6s to a black iPhone 11 in March 2022, and he loves it!
iPhone XR or 11 both stands really good and you could easily go with these two without thinking a lot.
You just have to decide which goes well with your requirements XR or 11
The XS is better than the XR
@@nateholden7598 The battery on the XS is just so much worse than the XR. On iOS 16, you need the best battery you can get.

bought a purple iPhone 11 128gb in 2019 and been using it till today. Not planning to switch to any phone as it has everything I need. Might change a new battery as it started to drain a bit. Overall its a freaking good phone even in 2022.
I'm very satisfied with my 11 red. I have a 12 that belongs to the company and I don't see any performance differences. Battery is at 84% and working fine. I'm having 2 more years using it.
I’ve had my 11 for over two years now. It’s been the best phone I’ve had. To bad I didn’t treat my battery the best. It’s down to 75% meaning it die’s incredibly quickly. I’m upgrading to the 13 pro just because my two year plan is ending. If you don’t have a plan and are in the same place as me with the battery then just replace the battery. It’s an amazing phone and runs great.
just got a brand new 11 after 3 years of having the 6s, great all round the battery is by far the biggest upgrade with it the great cameras. One thing i hate though are the thick bezels really adds a lot to the width and is something i cant unsee
That's literally the only thing that makes me want to buy the iphone 12 lol, I don't like how thick it is, but I guess its doable at the same time
That’s a huge upgrade. Have fun 😝
Brandon, I doubt you will remember me, but it’s Canine. I told you multiple videos ago I would be trying to get an iPhone 11, and i finally got it. I just wanna say, all of your videos has helped me make up my mind. Thanks!
Those of us with only one phone, it’s pretty obligatory to have to use a case. Anything like a clear OtterBox symmetry or even a Spigen ultra hybrid 2 do the job. I could never use a phone naked at these prices, just not worth it
Exactly as without a case regardless of price the screens always scratch up easily.
I have an iPhone 11 since it came out. I’m very impressed with its features and quality. The battery is close to replacement time. I’m considering buying another iPhone 11 in lieu of battery replacement (I live overseas and repair work is sketchy). For the price, it’s an excellent phone.
I just got mine. I was using 6 and it feels awesome to experience the performance difference.
i ordered mine and i’m waiting (all there are in out of stock) i bought the yellow one with 128 GB i’m sooo excited
@@melaniendonkeu8458 you are so lucky. i couldn't find 128 yellow one. i had to buy red instead. good luck with your new iphone
@@AbdullahYazbahar thanks i’m so grateful for having this phone
I bought the 11 when it came out, and have used it every day for almost 3 years. I will say, especially with the release of the iPhone 14, you’re much better if with a 12 if you’re interested in the best value or an SE if you’re looking for super budget. A sub 1080p is noticeable and a little frustrating, the chunky bezels feel really dated, and the lack of an OLED panel is pretty disappointing. Quality of life hardware like ceramic shield and MagSafe are also really nice to have. I would strongly suggest anyone looking at the 11 in late 2022 get the 12 instead, especially for that OLED screen.
Many people have a different opinion, as the iPhone 12 would be the one to skip. I’m personally expecting an 11 / 128Gb to replace my 5 years old 8+ / 256Gb. And if it wouldn’t be malfunctioning I would have stick to my 8+. Still I’m very happy to have found a way to get an iPhone 11 as a replacement, because the last thing I would want is a 5G phone. Not for me. No thanks.
@@SymonSaysTV whats wrong with a 5g phone? 4g is completely compatible and having 5g is just futureproofing. considering you're still using an iphone 8, you dont seem to upgrade your phone very often so i'd go with the 12 cause it'll be better in the long run
just bought the 11. Ye the display is shit even when coming from a midrange Samsung. It's not really a big problem for me though as my usage is pretty basic. Not gonna pour an extra $200 just for the screen lol.
Rather get an 13. Its just 100 bucks more expensive and starts with 128 GB instead of the 12s 64, while having better battery life
@@tuvu8394 12 has better camera and batter than 11 bro. Moreover extra software support for another 2 years

Here’s the opinion from an iPhone 11 user personally.
I got this phone 1 year and a bit ago and I was super satisfied. The phone still holds up today. My battery health is 89% not 100% like yours. But this is after constant use after 390 odd days. The cameras are amazing. They’d beat any midrange phone from 2020 and heck, even some today it’s so good. Even though I think this price is still a little high for the age of this phone. It’s still well worth it. If I was offered the iPhone 11 or 12, I’d go the 11. Brilliant phone.
is Lcd display still holds up? kinda worried getting 11 cause of display
i’m still using my 11. had it since release. probably will continue to use it until they remove the notch lol
I just bought one and it is a solid phone.
My only issue is that downloading apps and music is SUPER slow compared to my iPhone 7
iPhone 11 is one of the few LCD iPhones still available for those 10% of us who can’t use OLED due to PWM problems.
Workaround for Managing OLED PWM
Open Settings on the OLED iPhone / iPad, and head to ‘Display & Brightness’
Set the Brightness level to 90% or higher (100% tends to work best for most)
Next go to ‘Accessibility’ settings, and go to ‘Display & Text Size’
Enable ‘Reduce White Point’ and adjust the slider to a suitable screen brightness level
If you’re lucky, you may notice a difference immediately.
I copied it from a website, but try and see if it works cause this is gonna be an issue if you wanna upgrade
I tried the workaround you mentioned. It helps somewhat, but for me it got to a point where I had to get a new phone. PWM really can cause significant eye strain.
10 percent? more like 0.01 percent

I got an 11 and am going on 2 years of it as of early May. It’s been great, but I absolutely throttled its battery in the first year, year and a half of owning it (too much gaming/gaming addiction that’s now non-existent but took a while to kick). It’s currently sitting at 82% battery health (which is not good for my job in certain times of the year…I teach band + marching band, so some long days in the fall), and I honestly cannot wait to upgrade to the 13 or 13 Pro.
I’d like a brighter screen (for checking drill outside during marching band) and longer battery life (for those long competition days), and I also do a bit of recording for the church my wife is a music director at. So…13 Pro it may be. Phone is paid off, Apple’s offering me more to trade it in given its good condition (more than Spectrum via Assurant), so while the 11’s been been good to me, it’s ‘bout time to move on. I’m used to getting the next minor upgrade before a more “major” one (8 before the X, 11 before the 12), so I’m fine with a 13 or 13 Pro while the 14 goes through its hype-cycle and then is slightly improved when it comes time for me to upgrade again in 2 years. 🙂 (Maybe we’ll have a full-screen iPhone by then. 🤩)
my 1 year and 2 month iphone 11 still have 100% of capacity.. i turned off so much stuff i didn't use (from brandon's video) and i'm so happy!
@@yrmnk That’s awesome! I also watched Brandon’s video when I first got my 11 (I think that was actually how I discovered his channel, finding his videos on battery tips and “First 11 Things To Do” type videos), and while I followed most of those tips (and still do), my battery is just shot from all the gaming I did in the first year+ of owning it. (And a lot of driving while using directions and the sun really heating it up on my dashboard mount. 😓🥴)
Whatever phone I get next, I’m definitey going to keep that battery health as high as I can and take good care of it. 🤙🏼💪🏼👌🏼

Still rocking the 128 GB 11 I bought from TMobile in October of 19 and am still loving it as much as the day I got it. I forget most times this is a 2 and a half year old phone. Does not run like it that is for sure. Love your vids man!!!!! You have helped me to decide to jump to a few betas over the past few years to test them out. The LTE performance is also my biggest complaint about this 11. I really wished it had the 4X4 MIMO LTE.
@Billy Shute Yeah, I remember hearing about that. BTW now using AT&T with redpocket. Visible started giving me a lot of issues in my area. Can't wait to see what the newer devices offer in terms of reception.

iPhone 11 performs more than well enough for a phone in 2022, I would say in practice the only feature I notice that's missing is FaceID with a mask on, which only works on 12 and above. 5G typically requires a new phone plan and still has choppy coverage anyway, and the LCD display is generally more than enough for consuming media in good quality. The camera and processing power are more than adequate and I don't think most people won't notice a difference other than in niche edge-case scenarios.
It's an OLED display not an LCD
@@nateholden7598 Like its predecessor the iPhone XR, the base iPhone 11 has an LCD display. (11 Pro models do however feature OLED)
You can search this up to confirm this, and you can also test by looking at a black image in a dark room and seeing if your phone emits any light at all. An LCD display would show a very dim dark grey and will produce some light, while an OLED should look indifferent to the phone being turned off.

I just got this phone, traded my Samsung galaxy S21 FE 5G a few days ago - after being an OG Android user for such a looong time. And I'm loving every single day of it and surely not looking back. The software I think is the biggest differentiator versus Android. In my Samsung fone, even though it has the latest processor, I still experience jitters and lags. But on my iPhone, not a single instance. And I guess my iOS era has started

I have the iPhone 11 Pro. Best iPhone I've ever owned. Particularly love the camera with 2X mode. The one nuisance is starting streaming audio, eg. a radio station. I often have to turn off wifi and start the stream on the data network and then turn wifi back on. Weird. I hoped that would change with update to iOS 15, but no difference.

Been an Android user my whole smartphone life. I decided to get the iPhone 11 when it released in 2019. Still going strong 3 whole years later. This phone has been so reliable compared to my old Androids which tend to show their age after a year. I'm sure my iPhone slowed down and battery has degraded a bit but it's not that noticeable and I don't see the need to upgrade for at least another 2 years. Plus, the Apple ecosystem is what's up. Bought an iPad and a refurbished MacBook Pro with the stimulus checks and wow. Money well spent.
You can also replace the battery for cheap at any third party repair center and you'll get it back to it's glory. 3 years surely degraded the battery a lot

For the price, I'd say go for it; the 11 is more than sufficient and will last several more years.

I only used it for imessage, facetime, check out SNS and other basic things plus I also have a Samsung phone too so I really don’t overused it. For watching video i used either my ipad or macbook and for school works I used my macbook. The reason I didn’t upgrade for 12 or 13 is because I prioritize to but new Ipad & Macbook first. I will probably upgrade for 14 though.

Loved this phone. Had a 64 gb mint green, used it for about 2 yrs. Honestly the only reason I upgraded to my pink iPhone 13 256 gb was for storage (I only use local storage) and for the 5G (which has been SO much better for me, especially since I always run my VPN connection on my phone & it eats up my data. My data plan is unlimited but T-Mobile slows it down a bit after 50 gb a month. With 5G everything is waaay more smooth than this experience was on LTE, which would stutter like crazy and take FOREVER to load after the 50 gb limit. It never cuts off my data but the faster it is for me the better lol). Overall 100% worth it. The OLED screen is way better but honestly I sort of liked the colors on the LCD too…all in all if you don’t care about 5G, have a budget, and are open to using iCloud if need be then I see absolutely zero reason NOT to get this phone.
just bought mine 64gb and still smooth im planning to buy the latest iphone by the end of the year though
Got mines 2 weeks ago . Love it . Probably will get about 3 or more years of iOS updates . That’s better any android in this price range . Battery is great . Off charger at 4am and at 2pm I’m at 70% your mileage will vary since everyone uses there phone differently . If your in a budget get the iPhone 11 if budget is not an issue get the 13. LTE speeds are good . At work download speeds are between 200-300mb. At home is where I get slow speeds due to reception but that why I have Wi-Fi.
I have a Samsung right now and I've never bought an iPhone before and I was wondering which one was good and bad and this really helped me decide. Thank you for this video!!!! ❤

Great video, good information. Looking to get the 11, since I am running the SE(2016), I have the 8 Plus, but just too big for pocket carry, the 12 mini or 13 mini are out my price range.
I specifically went for an iPhone 11 because it doesn't have 5g. I was also fed up with cheap, underpowered android phones, as the last one I had lagged during the setup process.
I got my iPhone 11 last week of January 2022! My previous device was iPhone 7plus, so I think it is worth the upgrade. Did I?
it's worth the upgrade dude. 👌 Good to know, for hm you got your 11? and what variant?
what can u say for about a month using it?
Great video, helps my choice in a eleven. Upgrading from a seven. Long overdue. I’m excited for my phone to arrive now.
I use both my 11 and 12pro I kinda regretted upgrading because it’s basically the same phone and the camera is not that big of a difference but I decided to keep the 12 pro just to have two phones
This is so reliable. Thank you very much, at least I know which iPhone to buy.
Even the 12 couldn’t beat him
I don’t know if the 13 did
To be honest the 11 line up are excellent the 12 line up could not beat them
yeah, 12 series makes no sense if you already have a 11 series, not worth the extra money
The 13s definitely did.The 12s not at all!!

Except for storage as 256GB option for the 11 is discontinued.
still rocking my Iphone 11 wish they would make more LCD's for people that can not handle PWM. I went from the iphone xr to the 12 when it first came out and because of the flicker I had headaches so bad I could barely keep my eyes open I ended up taking the iphone 12 back and got the iphone 11 and have enjoyed it ever since.
I used to love my iPhone 11 but I swear the battery would die soooo fassst so I got the 13 pro max and it’s so good
Well that's a huge upgrade in itself! Glad you love the 13 pro max
Same!! My battery runs out so fast. 😩
@@aubrimcpherson how long does it last with you barely using it? I’m thinking of buying an 11
@@vvsmoney98 I would say a day n a half.
@@aubrimcpherson how about moderate or heavy use?
Thanks for the update. I have the iPhone 11. Will hold onto it. Very interesting.,😀
I just bought one 3 weeks ago and I love it. It's my first ever iPhone after 12.5 years with Android, so I really didn't have a point of reference, and did not want to get something that was too expensive for me.
I personally feel that if this is your first ever iPhone, it certainly isn't a bad introduction to iOS.
I bought the Mint varient and it is lovely 📱💖👏🏽😍😘
True
I have a iPhone XS Max and it is still going strong and can see it lasting at least 2 more years
I have 11 pro max and it’s perfect 😁
Well I have my iPhone 11 for 3-4 years now. And I’m upgrading to 14 pro max later
My iPhone 11 is on 78% of battery health
Got myself an iPhone Xs few months ago, on the refurbished market its more expensive than an SE 2020 but if you want the newest design for almost the same price and almost the same performance, the Xs is a great choice (not talking about the Xr because in my case I had a 20 bucks difference between Xr and Xs so I took the best option for a few bucks more)
My next iPhone in some few years will probably be a refurbished iPhone 13 or the latest iPhone in new condition (If I have the money for it)
Must be expensive where you live as here in the UK 🇬🇧 the XS is cheaper.
I have the iPhone XS/10s and I am probably going to be getting the 11 this phone is a decent phone for it’s battery, size, and speed and camera but I do want 11 for a little more battery and the colors
The thing with ceramic shield, your 11 will actually be more scratch resistant, however at the cost of being less shatter resistant. Ceramic shield is softer glass, which in turn makes it more shatter resistant with the cost of being a scratch magnet
Still rocking my iPhone 11 Pro Max till the iPhone 14 Pro comes out 👏🏼
Same.
Love this video Brandon! Keep the iPhone reviews coming!!
I have 13 but sometimes I miss 11. There’s something I can’t describe about the love for 11.
same
Hiiii :) Just wanted to ask, what makes you love the 11 more? I was going to buy the 13 but so many people have told me the 11 is the best - hoping to hear back from you :)
@@ducks1321 to me the 11 is a bit bigger and fit my hand more than 13. The round edge make it easier to hold than the square. But if you looking for better screen and camera I suggest u consider 13. And personally ip11 was the first iPhone in many years cuz I been using Samsung for quite some time.
still using it, got purple💜
I have it since day 1 and STILL working perfectly! Mine have 89% battery capacity, still get me through the day. 🙂
how long have u been using it?
@@draco6661 since day 1 would be 3 years
A very informative video. Love your presentation. Btw, the wallpaper is beautiful!! Could i get a link? Thanks in advance!
