Is iPhone 12 bigger than iPhone 11?

The 11 model is by far the cheaper of the two options, and although only being one year older than the iPhone 12, it still performs just as well if not better in some aspects. With stunning rounded corners and a beatufiul curved design, experience cinematic quality images on a phone with a 6" screen which you can recieve in a selection of colours some including black, green, purple and red.

The iPhone 12 is exactly the same. Sporting those rounded corners, stunning curved design and a 6" screen. And again, this phone is available in the same selection of colours like red, purple, green and black. 

It is slightly disapointing there is no change in the iPhone 12's screen and design qualitities considering it is a year newer. And because there is such a significant price difference between the two phones, we think the iPhone 11 is a clear winner here, being cheaper but the same quality as the newer device. 

	iPhone 11	iPhone 12
Height	5.95 inches (150.9mm)	5.78 inches (146.7 mm)
Width	2.98 inches (75.7 mm)	2.82 inches (71.5 mm)
Depth	0.33 inch (8.3mm)	0.29 inch (7.4 mm)
Weight	6.84 ounces (194g)	5.78 ounces (164 grams)

Verdict: iPhone 11

 

Does iPhone 12 have a good display compared to 11?

Again, the two devices are very similar in terms of screen and display. The 11 offers a liquid retina HD display with trie tone display, wide colour display and haptic touch. 

The iPhone 12 still has all these qualitities, only one difference is that the 12 has a super retina XDR display. 

• Liquid Retina HDR Display - Great for high dynamic range content with stunning videos and true to life details.
• Super Retina XDR Display - Delivers a broad range of dark and light photos allowing you to see true colours clearer. 

Both these screens offer stunning colour, brightness, and black levelling however the Super Retina Display is slightly better is more compelling visuals. And so because of that, this round goes to the iPhone 12.

Screen display	HD 6.1-inch LCD display	Super Retina XDR, 6.1-inch OLED display
Features	True Tone display, wide colour display (P3), Haptic Touch, 120Hz refresh rate	True Tone display, wide colour display (P3), Haptic Touch, 120Hz refresh rate

Verdict: iPhone 12

 

Is iPhone 11 camera better?

The older model delivers great target exposure with great dyanmic range especially in outdoor scenes. With high levels of contrast, experience a stunning mix of dark and light images, no matter your environment. 

The iPhone 12 has powerful dial camera systems with ultra wide and wide camera options, making it perfect for bringing i more surrounding detail. 

Both cameras have a 12MP main sensor, so realistically the cameras are the same, they both offer dynamic range, zoom, HDR and many other features, and so, considering there is no camera change in the iPhone 12, we have to give this round to the older phone.
