Even so, the 11 Pro can be submerged in a water depth of four meters while the iPhone 11 can withstand a depth of two meters in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 11 is bigger measuring 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33\u201d and bulkier weighing 194g compared to the 5.67 x 2.81 x 0.32\u201d 188g 11 Pro. These two phones also come in stylish color options to match your preferences. The iPhone 11 has white, green, black, yellow, purple, and red options.<\/p>\n

The striking similarities between the two iPhones are:<\/p>\n

Both phones support 4G, 3G, and 2G connectivity, they were released on the same day (September 20, 2019), and do not support the 3.5mm jack. They use the iOS 13 operating system, Apple A13 Bionic chipset, and Apple GPU.<\/p>\n

In both, you can use features such as Face ID and Smart functions such as Siri. You\u2019ll also get a barometer, compass, proximity, gyro, and accelerometer sensors in both.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Apple continues to provide top-tier smartphones that are better in comparison to previous versions. And these flagships come with much-needed functionality for the everyday phone user.<\/p>\n

Of the two, the iPhone 11 is the cheapest option. While it isn\u2019t as premium as the Pro version, it presents more color, is energy efficient, and ideal for everyday use. The iPhone Pro 11 is no doubt a top-tier feature-rich smartphone that outshines other premium models in the market.<\/p>\n

With a triple-camera, you can take detailed and clearer images. And thanks to its robust battery, you can watch, talk, and surf the net for long. Also, the OLED display will enable you to view images and read the text without strain even in sunlight.
