The iPhone 11 Pro delivers amazing photo quality with its three cameras and best-in-class performance in a compact design.
Good
New triple cameras are fantastic
A13 Bionic is fastest phone chip
More durable glass front and back
OLED display a lot brighter
Longer rated battery life
Bad
Shorter battery life than iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11
Just 64GB of storage for starting price
A bit heavier and thicker than iPhone XS
With its relatively small 5.8-inch screen, the iPhone 11 Pro is a veritable throwback in today’s market of ever-growing big phablets. But there are plenty of people who still want a more compact phone. Everything else about the iPhone 11 Pro is big, though, including the big improvements to Apple’s cameras. From the new Night mode and better Smart HDR to the extended dynamic range in video, the iPhone 11 Pro is now arguably the best camera phone around.
At $999, the iPhone 11 Pro’s price is also quite large, and I would expect more storage than 64GB for a grand. Another bummer: The 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max and cheaper iPhone 11 feature better battery life. But if you want a beast of a smartphone in a design that’s easier to tote and use with one hand, the iPhone 11 Pro will be right up your alley.

The iPhone 11 Pro is one of the last great small phones. And that’s no small feat when you consider all of the great stuff Apple packed into this phone. You get arguably the best cameras in a phone along with class-leading performance and an OLED display that outshines most Android phones.
My only reservations with the iPhone 11 Pro are its measly 64GB of included storage and that its battery life, while good, trails both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
If it were me I would spend the extra $100 on the iPhone 11 Pro Max for its bigger screen and extra endurance. But the regular iPhone 11 is very much worth the investment for those who desire killer cameras in a more compact package.
