If you're looking for a more economical option, the Apple iPhone 11 is less expensive and offers a decent camera setup, sufficient battery life for a day's use, and a high-quality LCD screen. However, if a superior camera is a priority and you're willing to invest more, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro features advanced camera capabilities including HDR video recording and higher overall camera quality, as well as a faster refresh rate for smoother visuals on its OLED display. The iPhone 13 Pro also has a brighter screen, which can be noticeable outdoors and overall better performance due to a more powerful processor and more RAM, but this comes with a shorter battery life compared to the iPhone 11. Both phones have the same screen size and do not support 3.5mm headphones, but the iPhone 13 Pro supports 5G, which could be essential if you want faster data speeds and future-proofing.

Mark Spoonauer | September 2021
"The iPhone 11 delivers superb cameras, fast performance and excellent battery life, making it the iPhone to buy for many people. The cameras are very good, thanks to an ultra-wide lens and a Night mode for better low-light performance. This device also has IP68-rated water resistance, which means that it can withstand 2 meters of water for 30 minutes, and is one of the best waterproof phones out there."

Dhruv Bhutani | October 2021
"The basic foundation of the phone is rock solid and essentials like UI navigation, apps, security, and privacy features are polished to a sheen. The camera works consistently well and takes some of the best pictures you can get out of a phone. The phone further embellishes it with performance that won’t have you reaching for a replacement for years, and the battery life is hands-down amongst the best you can get on a flagship. If you’ve been eyeing an iPhone, the iPhone 13 Pro is as good as it gets."
