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?

Give me please iphone to my daily vlog🙏
i subbed, nice content, keep it up!
Absolutely agree iPhone 11 a better phone due to the price and how close it is to the iPhone 12.
So I should return my iPhone 12 and buy an iPhone 11? 🙈😅
👁👄👁 : me still going strong with my iPhone 7
HAHAHHAHS same been with me since '17 and still holdin
Bought an iPhone 11 from iPhone 6s+ lol
Me still going even stronger with my 6 lol
👁👄👁 : me still going strong with my iPhone SE 1st gen
Unhhh?? I’m still going strong with my iPhone 3s fuckouttahere with them copycats iPhone, point blank⭕️
Bought a green 11 yesterday. I really love the color and don’t care about OLED screens or 5G.
So I’m perfectly happy with it 😊
To be honest , I don’t see any difference between those 2 screens !
@@123berno Idk, I use my gadget alot and I can definitely see the difference between lcd and oled, or maybe its just me
@@rickyvalent2742 oh that's great, don't know if you are having good eyesight or am having poor eyesight 😅
@@daienaa Maybe on paper it is, but on the daily basis, most flagship with LED panel last me more than 7 hrs of SOT. Since Im not a gamer myself and only use my phone for youtube and social media, Im willing to sacrifice the battery for LED panel.
@@123berno Its probably me staring at screen way too much hahaha
I like the thing that Rene constantly tells.. hold on for as long as possible. Buy the best you can afford when you absolutely have to. And then enjoy the hell out of it.
I bought my current 6s+ 128gb used probably around 2016-, it's been great. Looking at getting the 12 pro max in 128 once it comes out, what do you think?
@@nahventure3873 you will love it 😄😊. I’d recommend buying as much storage as you can 😄. 128gb ran out for me in 1.5 years... so I longed to get more storage.
I bought a second hand iPhone 7, 32gb, had it for 2 years.
Then I bought a new XR 128gb, had it for 2 years.
Now I just bought an 11 pro max 256gb. For a great deal. I bought it for the same price as regular 12, 64gb.
@@maxroman2010 how is the jump from the 7 to the 11pro? I've had the current iphone for years (128gb) and I tend to throw all my pictures and what not onto my PC and forget about them haha, storage hasn't been an issue, unless we're talking the 16gb iphones, those I wasn't able to do.
@@nahventure3873 I actually had fun and there is a new development 😄. I traded in my iPhone 11 Pro with 256gb for a one in better condition with 512gb. 😄 for the same price!
Well, buy the best for you. I could afford a 12 pro max, which is objectively the best. But I bought a 12 mini because I like the flagship specs in the small form factor.
Lol i was waiting for the 12 so that i could get the 11.
LoL
Smart
Lol
Wait 10 years you’ll get the 20.
Same Here!!
The 11 will still last a very long time most current owners probably won’t even keep it to the end of its software cycle.
Very true
iPhones are expensive because they are build to last. Even my 5s is my secondary/backup phone with my 11 Pro Max as my main
@@fluffypotatocow8490 The only thing I can say is that Samsung/Sony phones (from my experience) are so fragile. I regret spending money on those brands
I still have original SE as my main and only phone lol And it runs all tasks as good as it did when new and on latest IOS, And still in tact structurally and cosmetically.. I promise this is the last AND 😁 Anyways, Testament to Apple! How many nearly 5 year old Android based devices can say the same?
@@MrIDGAF I was still using an iphone 5 in 2019 pfft got my 11 in the days before the new year.
I’m totally happy with my iPhone 11! Going strong 💪🏾
When money matters the iPhone 11 is quite good, but if you can afford the iPhone 12, it is faster, more robust with better materials, the upcoming 5G and a better screen if the flickering is not bothersome. I already went to the iPhone 12 and I am very pleased.
XS max here not a single hiccup had it since launch
Damn right
I'm happy the redmi note 7 pro (by Xiaomi) that I've been using for 1 year now.😀
Same here
Personally, I think if you have an 11, definitely do not upgrade it, but if you’re coming from an older phone, just go for the 12.
Well not that many ppl can go for such an expensive phone like that butt if u have enough money for it go for it I’m gonna just stick with my iPhone 11 it’s still working rly well and I love it
I’m upgrading from 6s plus and going with the 12 pro max. Not much difference in price with the 11 pro max at least not yet. Didn’t upgrade for some reason last year but this year I am ready so I’m going for the 12.
@@stephsjamn Good for you bro! That 12 Pro Max is gonna be a beast for sure regarding battery life and camera
@@ayn4146 Imagine, in Mexico is more expensive!, $22500 for the iphone 12, and the iphone 11 is now on $16999
Ulises Arellano Avilés can you go to US and buy iPhone? Since it a lot cheaper there
Just got the 11 after having the 8 plus for years. Think I made the best most economical choice
Yes absolutely you did ,I wish you a very successful life and good luck 🤞.
I had the 7 and bought the 11, so I saw a huge difference lol
I have a 7 and picking up a 12 tomorrow. Not sure I Made the right choice
I have an 8 Plus now and am having a hard time deciding whether to get the 11 or the 12..mainly because of the display. Does the LCD of the 11 look better than the 8 Plus?
@@muhdiman6087Yes iPhone 8 Plus screen is much better than the iPhone 📱 11 but the best iPhone display among those is the iPhone 12
This is really helpful I told my mom I wanted the iPhone 11 for x-mas but I didn’t know if I wanted the 11 or the 12..this cleared up a lot thanks
iPhone 11 and 11 pro/pro Max will still be around forever. They are incredible phones!!
I think apple sadly discontinued the 11 pro, the pro was a really good size tho. But at least the pro max and the regular 11
@@mikaella4757 yeah, they took it off their site and from online stores
Apple screwed the iphone 11 battery with IOS 14.2 for real ... idk why they do that its not even an old phone

Thank you for bringing this up! 4:00 - so so important! I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
I have the 12 and I don’t go through the flickering at all but I think it only happens on certain iPhones
I think it’s due to the oled screen
yall bois trippin... mine works hella fine
@@miyuki3474 not on my phone
@@LegendaryQueen_4 I literally just said you can't see it with the naked eye
Still happy with my iPhone 11
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.
Pardon I’m an android user.... If I get an IPhone , am I able to go to the apple store and get an battery replacement???
@@bradleylai4547 yes but i dont know how it works with covid rules in place. i think you have to send the phone by post.
Thanks for the info about flickering and migraines! I DEFINITELY don't need anything else in my life to trigger them! You sold me on the 11 even tho I am getting back into photography and was going to upgrade to the 12 or 12 Pro. It's just not convenient to carry around a big digital camera everywhere but $1000 was hard to swallow!
i got mine a month ago and i’m glad i did cause i still got the full package (with charging brick and earpods) and will keep this for 3-5 yrs
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.
Love this! Thanks 🙋♂️
This is a great video for me to watch. I have the iPhone 7 and right now I am upgrading and I was considering buying the iPhone 12 but after doing research and watching some videos I have some doubts about it with the flickering and 5G issue. I am now considering buying the iPhone 11 and this video really helped me out.
My beautiful iPhone 8 broke a few days ago and I decided to buy a brand new iPhone 11 and paid it in full.
I was kind of regretting that purchase but I am so in love with my 11 and I realized I didn’t wanna spend an extra $200 when the 11 is so perfect lol
Is it worth not upgrading thinking of getting my first ever iPhone 😫
@@kimberlymoreno4259 I had a cheaper android before I got my iPhone 8. I paid $150 for it, it was an LG something. I really liked my 8. The camera was a big improvement.
I bought the iPhone 11 exactly two weeks ago. Today was the last day to return it and get the 12. I finally settled it that I made the best choice sticking with the 11... then found your video. Quite reassuring. Glad to see this kind of video, rather than just pumping up all the new features and hype. Thanks for the excellent content.
You should have returned it in and gotten a reduced price
I did get the reduced price. Wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.
Great info you mention things no ones else does.
I got the 11 for my birthday last week. The 12 just ain’t it for me because
1. More expensive
2. OLED flickering will further damage my already damaged eyes
3. No adapter/earphones
And so far, I’m loving it! 🥰 (since I upgraded from the iPhone 6 😬)
Great review. Really juggling between the 12pro and 11normal. Going to make that decision today and videos like this really give the “unpopular” option a fighting chance.
The topic is just what I needed. And very well explained & easy to understand. Thank you.
This is helpful! Thank you for this
Excellent video, I just purchased an iPhone 11 las Saturday and I have to tell you that I am very happy
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying it!
Is iPhone 11 is better than iPhone 12
@@fatimasabir6540 For me it is mainly because I do not see much difference, and I do not care about OLED Screen and 5G. Also the iPhone 11 has a great price
Bought 11 same color a month ago and this video makes me more happy and content
Thanks, really useful video.
Finally going to upgrade from my trusted 6s. Very helpful info, thank you!
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.
I’m glad you mentioned pwm. I suffer from pwm sensitivity. I’ll be sticking with the 11 for awhile.
Yeah I hope OLED is momentary until we get Micro LED displays.
@@GregsGadgets I can't wait. Options are limited for now!
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the great review
me with a second hand iphone 6: 👁👄👁
I didn't see that possibility coming, and I didn't know that you could get head makes from OLED. Mostly I use the phone to read. So thanks for this info, as the 11 would be a viable alternative. I don't even want 5G, even if we had it here.
Excellent! Thank you GregGadgets!
Great video
I will stick to my iPhone 11 it does everything I need it to do. And it is very reliable 😁
Right 😁
Ikr, love it
I was thinking of getting the 11 but I got the 12
What do you think about iPhone 12 is smaller than iPhone 11 plz lemme choose one
@@fatimasabir6540 What’s better iPhone 11 red or black
Got an 11 5 months ago, it’s a beast phone with absolutely second to none camera system & yes it’s a value for for every penny.
Subscribed after watching this practical video
Great review , good point of consideration
I have had the 12 for almost two weeks and honestly I’m happy
2019 - iphone 11 came but xr sell most bcoz of price
2020 - iphone 12 came but 11 sell most bcoz of price
2021 - iphone 13 came but 12 & 12mini sell most bcoz of price
...❤️ Fact 👍...
I been noticing that trend ever since 2016-2017. The older phones actually break records in terms of sales more than these recent phones , because at the end of the day it’s just a damn phone
Nice! It really helped me.
Thanks!! Finally a useful and objectively technical opinion. No one else mentioned about the problem with the new oled screen
Great video Greg! I have the 12 but I’m a screen snob and I definitely prefer OLED and love the 460ppi. But the 11 is definitely going to be a beast for a few years. I kinda wish Apple would make the LCD 1080p
I read that OLED displays have significant shorter lifespan than lcd. If this is true I will buy the iPhone 11 or iPhone SE
@@daienaa yes it is true oled has short lifespan
Great video but I personally think I’m going to stick with buying the iPhone 12 for the Oled and new square body design
I’ve read in some forums that quite a few iPhone 12/12 Pro owners are returning them already as they are finding the flat edges uncomfortable in the hand.They are not really giving theme enough time to get used to in my opinion.
Great video !
iPhone 11 ftw 😎
So refreshing one YT reviewer not to diss on the 11 in order to gash over the 12 😂
Seriously was getting too depressing everybody trying to convince us 11 owners we need to upgrade 😂
Only you and Travis are being more logical and honest 😎
OLED screen
@@eman7066 when I bought it,if I wanted an OLED I would have bought the Pro.
Katya but the base pro model was cost 300 bucks more
@@gingteng9803 and because of that, I should give 800$ more for the 12??
Do people like you ever have an actual thought,or just randomly write random thoughts that pop out in that empty void in their head?
Katya you are very courteous, I bet you’re a happy guy in real life
I went from the 5S to the eleven and I love it to pieces. I keep my phones for a long time so this was a great choice.
Cool I went from 5s to the xr coral
I'm upgrading from a cheap, 3 year old Android phone to the iPhone 11.
It suits my budget and has everything I want. I'm picking it up in the next few days...a green one like the one in your video. I'm pretty excited and can't wait !
Excellent review!!!
Hey Greg! Awesome content!
Thank you 🙏
@@GregsGadgets Gonna watch the vid right after my class is over!
Thank you for this content bro, iPhone 11 is my dream phone that I never had, but I still want to have it. That's why I am saving a money from my salary, but it is still not enough. I'm still hoping that one morning I can finally afford to buy it.
Another great point and video. Love the channel keep it up!
Yes that crazy true when i was using iphone 11 i was not suffering from headache but now i buy iphone 12 before 2 week and m greeting headache when i use my phone on low brightness
Is helps me al lot I very appreciate when I’m going to buy the iPhone 11
Thank you for informing about the flickering thing. That might be bad for some people.
What’s better iPhone 11 red or black
I got my iPhone 11 128GB WHITE last October 23 and I'm happy with it. ❤️
Thank you. Very helpful. About to order an iPhone 11. Currently have iPhone 7.
I'm trying to decide now, and I don't know why that 12 is so shiny on my eyes😊
Thank you SOOOO much for mentioning PWM Greg! I am one of the 10 percent that OLED screens cause migraines and headaches. I will NOT be purchasing a phone with an OLED display until they manage to stop using PWM.
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.
buying one after christmas, so exited
Considering buying an iPhone 11. This was very helpful thank you
“Hey what’s going on Trent here” 😂
Is there gonna be a parody video dropping soon? 😂
Good content
Thank you 🙏
This review cemented my choice to go with Iphone 11 coming from a Google Pixel 2XL. I was looking primarily for the same size as my existing phone but switching back to the IOS world. I don't care about the OLED display as I am going to use the phone to hook up to my car and use it for navigation as well as social media, web-browsing and texting. I was considering a larger screen but then again that extra .4" in the pocket may be a bit too bulky and heavy although it would provide better batter life. I like the size that I have now at 6'1" and this fits the bill as well as my short and stubby fingers.
I’m not the kind of guy that changes phone every year......I upgraded from my iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone 11.....buuuut I honestly wanna trade it my iPhone 11 for the 12pro pacific blue. That blue color is beautiful and the new design 😍😍
That was really some good points. 12 is a great looking phone. But I am going for iPhone 11. Thank you for helping me out.
#Edit on 11 July 2021# I went with 12 at the end. The blue color and screen quality attracted me. Great looking phone.
I currently have an iPhone 6 and was waiting for the 12s to be released to upgrade. The fact that they have OLED actually made me change my mind and purchase an iPhone 11. I get migraines and have light sensitivity--it just wasn't worth it to me.
The upgrade in the modem alone is a reason to buy the 12. Just got mine and compared to the 11 4g lte speeds are almost double here in uk on Vodafone. Not tried the 5G speeds at the moment.
Thank you for mentioning the display flickering that would definitely bother me especially because I’m autistic.
I decided to go with the 11.
OLED at 60 hz refresh rate gives me eye strain.. thanks for pointing out PMW
what woukd you recommend for a long time Android user who wants to use iphone for the first time?
I bought a green iPhone 11 yesterday And I’m loving it. I’m a hardcore android fan and this is my first iPhone. Coming from a Oneplus 5t with a 1080p AMOLED screen , the display was one of my major concerns but now that I have this phone in my hand I do not mind it at all.
Me watching this on an 11 having bought it two weeks before the 12 dropped 😂 it’s been an awesome phone! The photos are just beautiful and the battery life is great. I love Apple tech but all the points in this video are some of the reasons I chose not to wait for the 12. No regrets
Switched from Android to Apple for the Iphone 11 and I love it despite people saying the low resolution and LCD screen are lame comparing to Android phones. You can’t actually notice it with the naked eye. I’m happy with it.
Which android did you have before?
@@paulotenorio3241 Huawei P20
I switched also from huawei mate 20 lite to 11 and I think it was the best decision I made
Saw your video/browsed your channel for the first time! I love you are giving a clean comparison and reasoning towards why 11 is still an efficient phone in the 'cost over new features' basis. Loved it! Keep 'em honest reviews coming as I have just subscribed :D Love from Bangladesh!
This video just opened my eyes to upgrade from the 5s to the 6. Well done 👍
Hello Greg!!! I totally love your vids and learn something new each time. Thank you for your honest reviews, especially all things IPhone!! I have an IPhone 11, and it more than handles everything I throw at it. The LCD display is fantastic, but I really want to have an Oled display. I’m considering upgrading to the IPhone 12 Pro. I very much want the telephoto lens, and all of the new camera system perks, lol! 😄 Do you think the IPhone 12 Pro is a good upgrade? Or the Pro Max when it’s ready to ship? I’m a loyal subscriber and I truly try to listen to your opinion. Take good care, and please stay safe. Thank you!!! 😎
Thank you 🙏 I don’t think the upgrade is overall worth it for 11 owners, but if you really want an OLED display and just can’t wait you should go for it. One of my favorite features with the 12 pro is the night mode portrait mode photos, I think they look really good!
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...
@@anshulshah1703 In my opinion, there are too few 5G towers for it to become a thing. Maybe in a few years, but not right now.
@@breyerhorsestudios2964 Ye then I guess only get the 12 for the oled screen, and I don’t k or if that’s enough
@@anshulshah1703 Better camera Ig with the Dolby vision, but honestly there's a camera upgrade every year, it's nothing revolutionary. 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.
i d suffer from oled screen i always use anti blulight glasses and uv 400 glases at the same time and got a anti glare screen for my smartphone

I literally just bought the same colour 11 yesterday lol
Hope you enjoy it! And yeah gotta go green on the 11.
I went to the apple store, had the iPhone 12 on my left hand, the 11 on my right, after a few minutes I decided to go with the 11. The extra money for me just wasn't worth it. I upgraded from a regular iPhone 7 so anything would have been a great upgrade, but I liked the 11 better than the 12
Yeah same here
@@kannabys1 i still have the 7 too ! Lol I want to upgrade now
@@raulhernandez2379 brother if you can, go for it. I used my phone for work stuff too and needed to upgrade from the 7 pretty bad. I am super happy with the quality and performance of the 11, again, I just didnt like the 12 that much to spend the extra money.
Great video, as always! Do you think the 11 will stack up better than the SE Plus which we don't know when it is coming? If you think the 11 is still the better bet, I'll grab one now. I don't game or stream anything. Just want the good cameras for craft shots and simple instructional videos. Mostly I use the phone to read/listen to books and surf the net on WIFI, not on data. Don't want OLED (ocular migraines) and would rather have touch ID, but I want the full screen. Anything important I would be missing by getting the 11 instead of waiting for the SE Plus?
Counting down the minutes to the podcast.Happy New Year!
SE plus 🙂
You have made perfect sense. Holding on to the 11 for a few years. Most people don’t even use all the things that come on the phones anyway. And they all do the same thing.
I see difference of the LCDs and OLEDs flickering, but it doesn't annoy me
Loving my iPhone 11 in purple, I have a feeling I’ll have this phone for a long time!
Great presentation :)
My bf got me an iPhone 11 for Christmas (White, 128GB)! I love it, I was debating which phone to get when he asked me what phone I wanted, but then I looked at pros + cons, and chose the 11.
I get around 50 MBps on my SE on LTE. Plenty fast enough for me.
I’m mad how Apple messed up the product red of the iPhone 12 it looks pink. 😢
to be honest the nicest color is the pacific blue navy is so clean
What’s better iPhone 11 red or black
@@brandonmeribe9704 it’s up to you I think red is better though
Yeah, i wanted to buy product red again, but not when it isn’t even really red. It’s white or black then....
I had a Galaxy for 8 years I switched to an 11 last year and I’ve absolutely loved it. I’m glad I watched this video too it makes me want to keep mine for as long as possible
Great video. Dude you should probably look at some of those emails on your phone lol. Thought I saw 11000+
Thank you for mentioning PMW! It’s a big problem for a lot of people. I had to sell my 11 pro and buy an iPhone 11. I’m not going to get a new phone before we get past OLED.
Totally agree. The 11 is a great deal right now.
Yes one thing some people aren’t considering is Covid like people aren’t as financially stable right now just saying it’s worth mentioning this year is quite different with the iPhones due to Covid and I would expect the 12 possibly not to sell as well due to it but who knows really.
Thanks a lot. I’ve never used Iphone and today is the day of having one. I am having a hard time choosing between iphone 11 and 12. Thanks to your review…I know now which one I will buy.. cheers. Keep it up
Can you assure me with the 11 that the battery will hold up like my Samsung s8 still great almost 4 years. I read different comments on battery life dropping quickly and that is a downer. If that's not true let me know please.
