iPhone 11 at a glance

6/10GetLow rating

Our take, in a number

Provisional · Specification-based

The familiar iOS experience and two rear cameras still suit basic use. The older A13 platform, LCD screen and lack of 5G make this a price-led refurbished choice, not a long-term first pick.

Why this rating?

GetLow editorial assessment, . We weigh the published features, practical compromises, intended buyer and value proposition described in this guide. This is a qualitative judgement, not a calculated benchmark or customer average.

9–10: exceptional on paper; 8–8.5: a strong shortlist choice; 7–7.5: good for the right buyer; 5–6.5: substantial compromises; 1–4.5: difficult to recommend.

We have not hands-on tested this phone. Real-world speed, photo quality and battery endurance are not proven by this score. Basic and accessibility phones are judged for their intended use, not as flagship substitutes. For refurbished phones, the score describes the model, not the condition or battery of an individual unit. A score is not a rating of every contract: compare the current total cost separately.

Our editorial approach

Who it suits

Start with the size, camera and storage you need. The lowest monthly price alone does not tell you whether this is the right phone.

What to weigh up

Check the exact storage, colour and condition on the retailer page. Refurbished grades, battery policies and warranties vary.

Worth the upgrade?

Compare it with the phone you already own. Pay for a useful improvement, not just a newer model name.

About this guide: GetLow explains published specifications and compares UK contract listings. It is not a hands-on laboratory test. Battery and charging figures depend on the manufacturer's test conditions; everyday results vary.

Is the iPhone 11 worth buying?

Apple iPhone 11 deserves a place on the shortlist when 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD LCD, Apple A13 Bionic suits your priorities and its live total contract cost compares well with the two alternatives above.

Best bits

  • 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD LCD at 60Hz
  • Apple A13 Bionic performance platform
  • Dual 12MP wide and ultra wide rear camera system
  • Live new and refurbished contract prices compared by total cost

Watch-outs

  • The cheapest monthly deal is not always the lowest total-cost deal
  • Storage, condition and warranty can differ between otherwise similar listings
  • Current colours and contract availability depend on retailer stock

Apple iPhone 11 in 2026

This Apple iPhone 11 review combines current GetLow contract prices with the specifications that matter before a long commitment. It compares new and refurbished availability, total cost, monthly price, data, storage and the closest current alternatives.

Live price position

Judge the iPhone 11 by today's whole-contract price

GetLow currently checks 20 iPhone 11 contract offers across 2 retailers and 3 networks. The market starts at £14.00 a month, £9.00 upfront and £470.00 in total after currently stated promotional savings.

Those headline floors can come from different deals. Keep monthly price, upfront cost, data, storage, term and condition tied to one listing before deciding which offer is genuinely cheapest.

How does the Apple iPhone 11 price compare with nearby phones?

This table uses the reviewed phone plus up to four nearby alternatives by current lowest total contract cost. Monthly price, data, total cost and condition remain attached to the same cheapest-total listing for each phone.

Read each difference against the bold iPhone 11 baseline. A cheaper row shows the whole-contract saving; a dearer row shows the additional amount currently needed to step up.

Build your own phone comparison

Select any three phones and compare them side by side

The Apple iPhone 11 is selected first. Change any selector to compare it with two other current phones from Apple, or with the wider market when fewer than three Apple models are available.

Every price card keeps monthly cost, upfront payment, total cost, data, contract length and condition attached to the same live listing. The specification table then shows the hardware differences that may justify paying more.

Design and display

What the iPhone 11 is like to hold and look at

The iPhone 11 uses 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD LCD with a 1792 x 828 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. These are the screen details to compare with the alternatives above.

Its physical specification is 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm at 194g. Consider that size against how often you use a phone one-handed and whether it needs to fit a smaller pocket.

Cameras

Compare the camera hardware before paying an upgrade premium

The iPhone 11 lists Dual 12MP wide and ultra wide on the rear and 12MP TrueDepth at the front. Sensor count alone does not decide image quality, but it tells you which focal lengths and selfie hardware are included.

If photography is the reason you are considering this phone, compare its complete camera setup with the other two selected models and then weigh that difference against the live total-cost gap.

Front camera12MP TrueDepth
Battery and charging

Battery comfort matters for the whole contract

The listed battery specification is shown in the table below. Capacity and charging speed are useful comparison points, although real endurance still depends on signal, brightness, apps and battery condition.

For a refurbished offer, check the retailer battery policy and warranty as carefully as the headline price. For a new phone, compare whether the charger you need is supplied or already owned.

Performance and software

The hardware and software you will live with

The iPhone 11 is built around Apple A13 Bionic. That platform affects app speed, camera processing, gaming and how comfortably the phone should age through a multi-year contract.

Its listed software platform is iOS. Check the manufacturer update policy alongside the contract term, especially if you intend to keep the handset after the final payment.

New and refurbished buying checks

Protect the saving before you order

Every current offer is listed as refurbished, so compare the stated condition, warranty and total cost. A low price is only good value when the condition, storage, warranty, returns terms and battery policy suit what you expect to receive.

Use total contract cost after any stated code as the first comparison, then check data and storage on the same basis. Availability can change as retailers update stock.

  • Confirm whether the selected listing is new or refurbished.
  • Check the exact storage and colour before leaving GetLow.
  • Read the warranty, returns and refurbished battery terms.
  • Compare the total contract cost rather than monthly price alone.
Who it suits

Is the Apple iPhone 11 right for you?

Buy the iPhone 11 if

Its specification, size and current whole-contract price fit your priorities better than the two alternatives above.

Choose another phone if

A nearby model offers features you value more for a total-cost difference you are comfortable paying.

Colours and images

iPhone 11 is available in Black, Green, Yellow, White. Pick the colour you can live with for the full contract, not just the launch-week favourite.

Which storage should you buy?

Apple iPhone 11 storage options include 64GB. The live cards show capacities currently found in GetLow deals. Start with the smallest suitable option for lighter use, then step up if you keep lots of photos, video, games or offline apps.
