{{iPhone models}}

The iPhone 11 is a smartphone developed and marketed by Apple. It is the thirteenth generation of iPhone, succeeding the iPhone XR, and was unveiled on September 10, 2019, alongside the higher-end iPhone 11 Pro at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, Cupertino, by Apple CEO Tim Cook. Preorders began on September 13, 2019, and the phone was officially released on September 20, 2019, one day after the official public release of iOS 13.

Despite minimal exterior changes from the preceding iPhone XR, substantial design changes within the phone took place, including the addition of the more powerful Apple A13 Bionic chip as well as an ultra-wide dual-camera system.{{cite web |last=Murphy |first=Samantha |title=iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max unveiled at Apple event |date=September 10, 2019 |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/10/tech/iphone-11-apple-event/index.html |access-date=2019-09-10 |publisher=CNN Business |archive-date=September 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190911081159/https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/10/tech/iphone-11-apple-event/index.html |url-status=live }} In October 2020, Apple halted the inclusion of both Apple EarPods and the wall adapter, citing environmental goals.{{cite web |title=Apple finally includes a fast charger with the iPhone 11 Pro |url=https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/10/iphone-11-pro-max-fast-charger/ |access-date=2019-09-10 |website=Engadget |date=September 10, 2019 |archive-date=September 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190911120444/https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/10/iphone-11-pro-max-fast-charger/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=iPhone 11 – Technical Specifications |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/specs/ |access-date=2019-09-11 |website=Apple Inc. |archive-date=September 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190910184827/https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/specs/ |url-status=live }}

The iPhone 11 as well as the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 Pro with its Max variant were discontinued and removed from Apple's website after the announcement of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro on September 7, 2022.

History

Details regarding the smartphone were widely leaked before the official release; complete specifications and renderings of the phone were widely publicized. Among the most significant changes were improvements in the cameras and the continuation of the 'notch' design around the frontal camera which dipped down into the screen, a feature started by the iPhone X.{{Cite web |last=phones |first=Gareth Beavis 2019-08-15T21:18:23Z Mobile |title=New iPhone 11 release date, price, news and leaks |url=https://www.techradar.com/news/iphone-xi |access-date=2019-08-17 |website=TechRadar |language=en |archive-date=August 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190816203116/https://www.techradar.com/news/iphone-xi |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Griffin |first1=Andrew |date=22 August 2019 |title=Apple is about to launch a huge range of new products – here's what they are |language=en |work=The Independent |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/iphone-11-pro-apple-release-date-details-features-rumours-latest-update-a9074481.html |access-date=27 August 2019 |archive-date=August 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190827233639/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/iphone-11-pro-apple-release-date-details-features-rumours-latest-update-a9074481.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=iPhone 11: release date, price and leaks for the new iPhone |url=https://www.whathifi.com/advice/iphone-11-release-date-price-specs-and-latest-news-for-the-new-iphones |access-date=27 August 2019 |website=WhatHiFi |language=en |archive-date=August 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190827233638/https://www.whathifi.com/advice/iphone-11-release-date-price-specs-and-latest-news-for-the-new-iphones |url-status=live }} The official event invite which was sent out to developers contained a graphic featuring an Apple logo made of layered colored glass, implied to be the new colors for the phone.

Design

File:IPhone 11 all color.jpg

The iPhone 11 was available in six colors: Purple, Yellow, Green, Black, White and Product (Red). The top of the screen retains the 'notch' design, wherein the TrueDepth camera system and phone speaker are encapsulated in a black, rounded-out rectangle that dips into the screen, similar to its predecessor, the iPhone XR. An elevated area in the top corner on the back of the iPhone acts as a camera housing, containing the microphone, the flashlight, and both of the rear-facing digital cameras.{{cite web |title=iPhone 11 |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/ |access-date=2019-09-10 |publisher=Apple Inc. |archive-date=September 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190910184638/https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/ |url-status=live }} The Apple logo on the back of the phone is centered to be equidistant to all edges and is made of a reflective material.

Specifications

= Hardware =

The iPhone 11, along with the iPhone 11 Pro, uses Apple's A13 Bionic processor, which contains a third-generation neural engine. It has three internal storage options: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB.1 GB = 1 billion bytes It also has 4 GB of RAM. The iPhone 11 has an IP68 water- and dust-resistant rating along with dirt and grime, and is water-resistant up to 2 m (6.6 ft) for 30 minutes. However, the manufacturer's warranty does not cover liquid damage to the phone. Also, like previous iPhones, both phones do not have a headphone jack, and initially came with wired EarPods with a Lightning connector, although Apple no longer includes these with any device.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_11-9848.php|title=Apple iPhone 11 – Full phone specifications|website=www.gsmarena.com|access-date=2019-09-10|archive-date=September 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190909172059/https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_11-9848.php|url-status=live}} The iPhone 11 is the first smartphone with built-in ultra wideband hardware, via its Apple U1 chip.{{Cite web|url=https://sixcolors.com/post/2019/09/the-u1-chip-in-the-iphone-11-is-the-beginning-of-an-ultra-wideband-revolution/|title=The U1 chip in the iPhone 11 is the beginning of an Ultra Wideband revolution|work=sixcolors|last=Snell|first=Jason|date=13 September 2019|access-date=September 15, 2019|archive-date=September 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190914235003/https://sixcolors.com/post/2019/09/the-u1-chip-in-the-iphone-11-is-the-beginning-of-an-ultra-wideband-revolution/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/apple/149336-how-apple-s-u1-chip-adds-amazing-new-capabilities-to-the-iphone|title=How Apple's U1 Chip Adds Amazing New Capabilities to the iPhone|website=pocketlint|date=April 20, 2021|access-date=September 15, 2019|archive-date=September 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913004921/https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/apple/149336-how-apple-s-u1-chip-adds-amazing-new-capabilities-to-the-iphone|url-status=live}}{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/story/apple-u1-chip/|title=The Biggest iPhone News Is a Tiny New Chip Inside It|magazine=Wired|last=Barrett|first=Brian|date=12 September 2019|access-date=September 15, 2019|archive-date=September 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913045443/https://www.wired.com/story/apple-u1-chip/|url-status=live}}

== Display ==

The iPhone 11 has a {{convert|6.1|in|cm|adj=on}} IPS LCD with a resolution of 1792 × 828 pixels (1.4 megapixels) at a pixel density of 326 PPI with a maximum brightness of 625 nits and a 1400:1 contrast ratio and it is equivalent to the iPhone XR. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, True-Tone, and a wide color gamut. As with the iPhone 11 Pro, XR, XS, and X, the display has a notch at the top for the TrueDepth camera system and the speaker. The display has an oleophobic coating, making it fingerprint-resistant. Apple announced in September 2019 that both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro would show a warning notification if a display were replaced with an unauthorized part. Apple stated that problems with the phone could arise if the wrong parts or procedures were used during the repair process.{{cite web |last1=Welch |first1=Chris |title=Apple's iPhone 11 and 11 Pro will show a warning on your lock screen if they can't verify a replaced screen |url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/25/20884287/apple-iphone-11-pro-max-display-screen-replacement-verification-warning |website=The Verge |date=September 25, 2019 |access-date=26 September 2019 |archive-date=September 26, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926000126/https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/25/20884287/apple-iphone-11-pro-max-display-screen-replacement-verification-warning |url-status=live }}

== Battery ==

The iPhone 11 is supplied with a 11.91 Wh (3,110 mAh) battery, a slight increase from the 11.21 Wh (2,942 mAh) found in the iPhone XR. The battery is not user-replaceable.

== Camera ==

The iPhone 11 includes a dual-lens 12 MP rear camera array. It has one ƒ/2.4 ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120° field of view and 2× optical zoom out, and one ƒ/1.8 wide-angle lens. The iPhone 11 supports 4K video at up to 60 fps and 1080p slow motion at up to 240 fps. The phone also features an audio zoom feature, which focuses audio on the area on which is being zoomed in, similar to the Pro model. Both of the cameras support video, although only the primary lens has OIS. It supports portrait mode with six portrait lighting effects, depth control, and an advanced bokeh effect. The phone also has an automatic night mode allowing the camera to take brighter pictures with reduced noise in low-light environments. Also, a redesigned camera app adds new features such as a scroll wheel for choosing between the different lenses and a feature called "QuickTake", which allows the user to long-press the shutter button to take a video. Apple has also announced a new Deep Fusion feature that takes advantage of AI and machine learning for image processing and was released via iOS 13.2 software update on October 29, 2019.{{Cite web|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/3438537/iphone-11-what-is-deep-fusion-and-how-does-it-work.html|title=iPhone 11: What is Deep Fusion and how does it work?|last=Evans|first=Jonny|date=2019-09-12|website=Computerworld|access-date=2019-09-13|archive-date=September 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913200338/https://www.computerworld.com/article/3438537/iphone-11-what-is-deep-fusion-and-how-does-it-work.html|url-status=live}}

Reviewers also criticized the notch as being far too large for 2019. According to Counterpoint Research's Market Pulse, it was the second best-selling and the most popular model globally for 2019, in less than four months of launch.{{Cite web|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/technology/apple-iphone-xr-became-top-selling-model-globally-for-2019-counterpoint-research|title=Apple iPhone XR became top-selling model globally for 2019: Counterpoint Research|website=Free Press Journal|language=en|access-date=2020-03-02|archive-date=March 2, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200302060852/https://www.freepressjournal.in/technology/apple-iphone-xr-became-top-selling-model-globally-for-2019-counterpoint-research|url-status=live}}

Controversy

= Removal of the power adapter and EarPods =

Apple, through an environmental initiative, has removed the EarPods and power adapter from new iPhone boxes starting October 2020, including the iPhone 11. Removing these items is claimed to reduce e-waste and permit a smaller iPhone box, allowing more devices to be transported simultaneously to decrease carbon footprint. However, Apple now includes a USB-C to Lightning cable, incompatible with the existing USB-A power adapters that Apple previously supplied with their devices. Upgraders can still use their existing iPhone power adapters and cables, but users wanting fast charging capabilities will have to purchase a USB-C power adapter separately.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-15|title=iPhone 12: Apple's muddled charger messaging|url=https://www.imore.com/iphone-12-apple-ditches-power-adapters-while-embracing-newer-cables-confusing-message|access-date=2020-11-05|website=iMore|archive-date=November 18, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201118175541/https://www.imore.com/iphone-12-apple-ditches-power-adapters-while-embracing-newer-cables-confusing-message|url-status=live}}
