After the release of the iPhone 11 in 2019, everyone’s trying to decide whether they need the iPhone 11 or iPhone Xs. There are a few features that push each phone up the ladder but, it all depends on what you want. It’s a big decision to commit to a phone for the next 2 years so you’ll want to make sure you make the right decision.

 

iPhone 11 Top Features

It’s safe to say that everyone’s favourite part of the iPhone 11 has been the camera. People are ditching their digital cameras for smartphone cameras and Apple have made that movement a whole lot easier for iOS lovers. They’re offering the next generating of Smart HDR to allow you to pause time and capture the perfect moment. Smart HDR will recognise faces and adjust so they are the main focus of the photograph. Shadows, highlights and skin-tones will all be pictured in their full beauty.

Another amazing feature available is what Apple are calling ‘the slofie’ and we’re living for it! Capturing you and your surrounding at 120 FPS, your selfies will be converted in slo-mo moving selfies.

One huge difference with the iPhone 11 series is the range of colours available. If you’re someone who loves a more understated look, you can purchase the phone is black or white. If you’re feeling a bit more out there, you can get your hands on a red, yellow, green or lilac phone. Each colour has an all-glass back to leave them with a clean, smooth finish.

You will also notice that the screen has been upgraded to a 6.1-inch all-screen LCD, multi-touch display with IPS technology. All-screen means that the phone has lost bezels on the display, allowing you to fit more than ever onto your screen. The IPS technology gives the phone the best colours and viewing angles available on an iPhone so far.

 

iPhone Xs Top Features

The iPhone Xs has been a huge hit with iOS fans since it’s release in 2018 and there’s plenty of reasons why!

One of the first things that make the Xs stand out is the pure, sleek design. With an all-glass back available in gold, silver or space grey, there is nothing but professionalism leaking from this design. Bezels are non-existent, giving the phone an all-screen OLED display.

TrueDepth camera technology creates the ability to unlock your phone and pay via ApplePay with facial recognition. This has been around for a few releases and have been a huge hit with every Apple fan.

 

iPhone 11 or iPhone Xs Prices

It’s safe to say, iPhones will never be as cheap as everyone wants them to be. They’re great phones that are super user friendly and look absolutely amazing, why would they be? Usually, phones will drop in price once manufacturers announce the next addition to the range.

There are hundreds of deals available for the iPhone 11 or iPhone Xs across three of the best networks available. Some of these deals will include cashback or entertainment packages, you just need to find one that works best for you. As deals are constantly changing, it can prove extremely hard to pinpoint a single price for a phone. It can be said that the iPhone Xs is a cheaper handset between the two. This may be because demand is far higher for the iPhone 11 due to everyone wanting the next big thing!

 

Which camera is best?

Apple chose to stick with a neat dual lens camera with both the standard iPhone 11 and iPhone Xs. The iPhone 11 has however, had a bit of an upgrade when it comes to the features and workings of the camera.

A 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens has been introduced to the iPhone 11 alongside a 12MP wide lens to build the camera. This means you can fit more into one photo than any other iPhone has previously allowed, perfect for family photos! The selfie camera on has been updated to a 12MP lens with 4K video too! A few new features, such as night mode and auto adjustment, have been presented to the iPhone 11 offering a far better outcome from every photo you shoot. In these senses, the iPhone 11 camera may come out on top.

However, there are a few camera details from the iPhone Xs that may put them ahead. One of the two 12MP lenses offers the telephoto feature with a 2.4 aperture. This lens is designed to photographs subjects that are further away whilst losing as little details as possible. Also on offer in the Xs is dual optical image stabilisation as opposed to single optical image stabilisation in the iPhone 11. This allows camera technology to automatically absorb any shaking to stabilise videos and photographs and avoid any blurriness!

 

No one can tell you whether the iPhone 11 or iPhone Xs is better, it’s a personal preference! Taking into account all the above options is a great addition to making that big decision!
