Is the iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro worth buying

“I have been using iPhone for many years. Currently I’m having an iPhone 6S 32GB. It does work very well but the storage space is the biggest limitation to me. I have to make a backup of my photos quite often or even delete some precious pictures and videos to free up space. The small screen also influences visual effect when I try to play movies on it. I’m thinking about buying the iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro. Is the iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro worth buying? Which model should I purchase? Or should I just get an iPhone X?”

Many iPhone users and those Android smartphone owners who plan to switch to iPhone would have questions like. Actually, this is quite common. Though we all know that iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro is without a doubt much better than its precedents, they will take more cash from us. The question becomes whether the extra features will be effective to the extra/high cost of the iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro. And, by upgrading to iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro, how can we transfer data from old iPhone to iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro?

Part 1: iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro review

Well, we would like to firstly make a brief review upon iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro to see if it’s worth buying or not. iPhone 11 has been considered as the best iPhone of 2019. As the natural successor to the ridiculously popular iPhone XR, iPhone sits below the pricier iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max in Apple’s 2019 phone line-up.

iPhone 11 takes the previous phone, keeps the design virtually unchanged and alters the internals. There are now two cameras on the back, for example, and the same A13 chipset you’ll find in the Pro model. The 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD screen at 1080P resolution on iPhone 11 is the best out of any iPhone. In terms of battery life, the iPhone 11 is a really long-lasting phone that we found went slightly further than its predecessor on a single charge. The new rear cameras are also excellent. The iPhone 11 remains exactly the same wide-angle 12-megapixel optical image stabilized (OIS) main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and the same 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera (f/2.4) for superb shooting experience.

If you’re updating an older iPhone then you’ll notice the vast array of improvements to the camera, battery life and overall design straight away. This is a great buy that will hopefully perform comfortably for a number of years.
As to the iPhone 11 Pro, it’s been considered as the best smartphone of 2019 that offers the best-ever image quality. Glitzier, flashier and far pricier than the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, along with its larger iPhone 11 Pro Max sibling, sits atop Apple’s 2019 phone line. For the extra cash, you get a Super Retina XDR display, a triple-camera array on the back and higher-end materials.

The iPhone 11 Pro packs three distinct 12-megapixel cameras, which, for the first time in an Apple device, includes an ultra-wide-angle lens (13mm equivalent, f/2.4). You also get a standard lens (26mm, f/1.8) and a 2x telephoto lens (52mm, with an improved maximum aperture of f/2.0). The video recording, audio, and super-bright XDR display are all tremendous, and the iPhone 11 Pro is also an absolute performance beast, with the new A13 Bionic chipset helping put it up there with the fastest phones we have reviewed. This is also the first 5.8-inch iPhone that doesn’t feel hamstrung by a battery that needs constant attention to get it through a full day.
You could check the below comparison chart to learn the main features of iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro (we only focus on their differences):

There are also other minor differences between these 2 models. You could get them from the Apple official website. Obviously, it would be highly recommended for you to buy iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro. Currently, at the same price level, there are few smartphones that could beat these 2 models, not to say the excellent performance Apple has always brought to us.

1. On your old iPhone, make sure you have installed the latest iOS version. Launch the Settings app and navigate to “Your Name > iCloud > iCloud Backup” option to enter the “Backup” interface.
