    Although Apple may have released the brand new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro with some pretty compelling upgrades and features, Apple also decided to keep the iPhone 11 in the lineup for $599. With a 6.1 inch display, great battery life, good cameras, and a powerful A13 processor... is the iPhone 11 actually a better buy over the new iPhone 12?

    About time a CZcamsr was honest about phones , there’s zero need to buy a new iPhone every year , most tech you tubers really overstate new features , the next one will be 120hz , it looks smoother so is a nice thing to have , but that’s about it , most content is 24, 30 or 60 FPS so a 120 he display is pointless for most people. The best upgrade an iPhone user can make is going to the apple store and replacing the battery in there phone.

    I got mine 3 weeks ago and it's my BEST CHOICE and DECISION. I was actually rooting for iPhone 12 after it was launched, but for an average person like me who doesn't notice display, the square design and a new bionic chip, iPhone 11 is my most preferred. It fits my budget that gives me that iOS/Apple user feels. It has an excellent battery. Bezels doesn't matter if you use it on daily basis. I have done extensive research and reviews on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, but iPhone 11 won my pocket and heart. And if ever I upgrade on next years iPhone, I have options to upgrade or not. We don't have 5G in my country. I need earphones and charging brick. The best iPhone in the year 2019-2021 is still the iPhone 11 for average users.

    I'm an android user but I did try the 12 for a few days when it came out. And while I did enjoy the slightly better camera, there isn't enough there to justify paying that price increase over the 11. My wife has the 11 so I was able to compare them side by side. Very minor differences and we both didn't care for the squared off edges. I will say the deeper blacks were noticeable in side by side video, but that's minor. If I had to choose, I'd go with the 11, save that extra money or spend it on the airpods or something useful.

      Yes LED lightbulbs can be a trigger as are a lot of TV’s these days. I stick with Sony TV’s that don’t use PWM and buy laptops that don’t use PWM after looking at the rtings reviews. There is actually a company online that makes a type of LED bulb that doesn’t flicker. It has a built in direct current type of ballast I guess. (Not sure about the specifics honestly.) I don’t have any issues with those. The school I work at uses all LED lighting but those lights also use direct current and don’t bother me. Apparently many schools do this so that the LED lighting won’t flicker as it can bother students and studies have also shown it can cause kids with ADHD to have more symptoms.

    Another argument, the 11 is sold for 689 euros on the french website of Apple, whereas 905 euros for the iPhone 12. Bump them to 128gb and you get 739 vs 959 euros (final price, tax included). So that's 200 euros difference (even more in dollars). Not gonna hesitate picking the iPhone 11, also it feels more comfy to hold in the hand

    Still on my 6s and still receiving updates. One of the biggest reasons I'm an iPhone user is because of their unmatched support. Yes, you pay a premium with Apple, but you get guarantee support for up to 5 years and that support clock doesn't start until they last officially sell the phone. The iPhone 11 will be supported until at least 2026 if they follow history and remove it this fall when the next iPhone is launched. You can't beat that value. As far as 11 vs 12 goes, I don't think it's ever worth upgrading from year to year. If you really want to see leaps it makes more sense to keep your phone for multiple years. We've gotten to a point in the phone landscape where most of use don't need more power. Most of us probably don't use the power we have.

      I have one question for you... Is 5g something you are going to use/actually need in the foreseeable future? If so, I would actually WAIT one more year as the x55 modem on the 12 isn't that efficient, and waiting for better modems is crucial for better efficiency and battery life, especially if you use it often. I would still recommend waiting but if you want 5g and actual hardware camera improvements, you should definitely wait...

Many people don't like the true tone anyway, which is one of the advertised features. Honestly, just like any new iphone, the upgrade is worth it only if you're coming from an older phone (8 plus or older, MAYBE X depending on your use case). I would personally wait until they add 120hz and get the pro model with a higher refresh rate. The OLED will be even better next year so... And I'm thinking MAYBE, just MAYBE they'll remove the notch in the next few years.

    For someone like me who’s in India, a week ago, the price for the iPhone 11 was relatively low (thank you Amazon) and hence I upgraded to Product Red iPhone 11 from my iPhone SE first gen. The price conversion (before iPhone 12 was announced for iPhone 11 was at $880) and I managed to get it for $650. After the release of iPhone 12, the iPhone 11 now starts at $745. So I had a profit of around $100. The iPhone 12 and the yet to launch iPhone 12 mini are ridiculously expensive and that’s why I chose iPhone 11. So happy with the purchase, loving it especially after my first gen iPhone SE gave up on me 😅
