Apple iPhone 11 Pro

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro, announced on September 10, 2019, and released on September 20, 2019, represents Apple’s premium compact flagship from the 2019 lineup. It introduced the Super Retina XDR OLED display, a pro-level triple-camera system, and stainless steel construction, delivering a more advanced experience than the standard iPhone 11 while remaining smaller and more pocketable.

Key Highlights

• Display: A brilliant 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel with 1125 x 2436 resolution (~458 ppi), HDR10, Dolby Vision support, True Tone, wide color (P3), and impressive brightness (800 nits HBM, up to 1200 nits peak; measured ~805 nits). It offers stunning contrast, deep blacks, and vivid colors with an ~82.1% screen-to-body ratio, protected by scratch-resistant glass—ideal for media, photography previews, and outdoor use.
• Design & Build: Premium materials include glass front and back (Corning-made), surgical-grade stainless steel frame, and four sophisticated matte finishes: Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Midnight Green. Compact dimensions of 144 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm and 188 g weight make it one of the smaller premium phones. Enhanced IP68 dust/water resistance (up to 4m for 30 minutes) and Apple Pay support add durability and convenience.
• Performance: Powered by the Apple A13 Bionic (7 nm+) chipset with a hexa-core CPU (2x Lightning at 2.65 GHz + 4x Thunder at 1.8 GHz) and 4-core GPU. Combined with 4GB RAM and NVMe storage (64GB, 256GB, or 512GB; no card slot), it provides flagship-grade speed in 2026—excellent for multitasking, gaming, video editing, AR, and demanding apps. Benchmarks like AnTuTu ~460k highlight its enduring capability.
• Camera System: Triple rear cameras: 12 MP wide (f/1.8, 26mm, OIS, dual pixel PDAF), 12 MP telephoto (f/2.0, 52mm, 2x optical zoom, OIS), and 12 MP ultrawide (f/2.4, 120° FOV). Features Night mode, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR, Portrait mode with advanced bokeh/Depth Control, and Dual-LED flash. It excels in low-light, zoomed shots, and wide scenes with 4K video up to 60fps (extended dynamic range, stereo sound). The front 12 MP TrueDepth camera supports 4K selfies/video, Portrait mode, Animoji/Memoji, and secure Face ID.
• Battery & Charging: 3046 mAh Li-Ion battery delivers solid all-day performance (improved over predecessors). Supports fast wired charging (PD 2.0, 50% in 30 min), Qi wireless charging, but no MagSafe.
• Other Features: Stereo speakers (very good audio quality), no 3.5mm jack, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, Ultra Wideband (UWB) for precise tracking (e.g., AirTags), comprehensive sensors including Face ID, Lightning port (USB 2.0). No FM radio.
• Status in February 2026: Still fully supported, running the latest iOS 26.3 (with ongoing security patches and features), as Apple continues updates for iPhone 11 series and newer. It’s discontinued by Apple but widely available refurbished or used at budget-friendly prices (typically €180–€300 / $200–$350 depending on storage, condition, and region), offering premium build, excellent cameras, and long-term iOS support—great value for those wanting a compact, high-end iPhone experience without buying the latest model.
