iPhone 11 Vs iPhone 13

iPhone 11 vs iPhone 13

Released two years before the iPhone 13, the iPhone 11 remains one of Apple's most popular smartphones. Both models are feature-rich, and each is suitable for a wide audience. Yet, while the iPhone 11 is versatile, it is slightly less capable than the iPhone 13 in a few key areas. These differences help to distinguish them, as do their colours, which are also distinct.

iPhone 11, a very good price/quality ratio

The iPhone 11 has nothing to be ashamed of in terms of performance. It doesn't have 5G like the iPhone 13, but it does have high-end components. Its photo sensors are almost identical to those of the 13, and so it takes similar high-quality shots. It loses ground in video, however, since the stabilisation and cinematic mode offered by the 13 are not present here. There is also a difference in its storage capacity: the iPhone 11 is only offered in 64 and 128 GB versions versus 128, 256 and 512 GB for the iPhone 13.

iPhone 13, with 5G and a larger storage capacity

Featuring a refreshed and more squared-off design, the iPhone 13 is about 20 grams lighter. It retains the same screen size as the iPhone 11 (6.1 inches), but upgrades to a Super Retina OLED panel from the Liquid Retina LCD panel on the iPhone 11. This results in gains in brightness as well as in contrast. The iPhone 13 also incorporates a more recent chip, the A15 Bionic, which allows for greater fluidity, especially in multitasking. Gamers will definitely appreciate this change. Finally, it is distinguished by the presence of MagSafe technology. This allows it to recharge wirelessly on compatible stations. It is not present at all on the iPhone 11.

The iPhone 13 is mainly better for users who shoot videos regularly with their smartphone. For most use cases otherwise, the iPhone 11 is sufficient. Unless you want to buy the latest model. Doing that will allow you to take advantage of iOS updates for a longer time.
