Verdict?

2019’s iPhones are clearly all about the camera. Give that, it’s clear the winner here is the iPhone 11 Pro. It features that sweet triple-lens rear camera system with a 12MP wide-angle, ultra wide-angle, and telephoto lenses, triple optical image stabilisation, optical zoom, and 4K video recording.

The iPhone 11 Pro also features OLED displays, versus the iPhone 11’s LCD display. This means your screen is just going to look better on the 11 Pro. While each model will feature the same A13 processor and wireless charging, the iPhone 11 Pro wins thanks to its camera, display, and better industrial design.

Another option worth considering, however, is picking up a newer

refurbished iPhone – something like the iPhone X or iPhone XR, which you can get for 40% less than retail via Gazelle, our #1 pick for refurbished iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and iMacs.
