Compare Apple iPhone 11 Deals

Because this is an older handset, the monthly price is usually low, so watch the small print instead. Sort by effective monthly cost to compare the true average across the whole contract, including any upfront fee. Match the data allowance to what you actually use rather than the biggest bundle on offer. If you already own a phone you are happy with, a SIM-only plan will almost always work out cheaper than a fresh contract.

The 6.1-inch screen is a comfortable size for browsing, video and everyday apps, though it is an LCD panel rather than the OLED on newer iPhones. The dual 12MP camera still takes sharp photos in good light, and the 12MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. You also get 4K video recording, which is plenty for clips you want to keep. It is a solid everyday camera, not a low-light specialist.

For messaging, social media, maps and streaming the iPhone 11 still feels fine, but the chip is several years old now, so demanding games and the newest features can struggle. The 3,110 mAh battery is rated for all-day use, which most people will get from a single charge. It shipped on iOS 13, and being an older model it will reach the end of its update window sooner than a current iPhone.

The iPhone 12 is the next step up and adds 5G, where the iPhone 11 is 4G only. If you want the lowest possible price and faster data is not a priority, the 11 still does the job. If you plan to keep the phone for years and want 5G plus a longer run of updates, the 12 is the safer buy. Compare the live monthly costs of both before you commit.

The iPhone 11 comes in a single 64GB size in this feed, with no memory-card slot to add more later. That is enough for apps, messages and a reasonable photo library, but it fills up fast if you shoot lots of 4K video or keep large games installed. Lean on iCloud or offload older photos if space gets tight.
