Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple iPhone 13
Our Verdict: The iPhone 13 is two years newer than the iPhone 11 Pro, and it shows in the specs. The 13 supports 5G while the 11 Pro tops out at 4G, and the 13 has the bigger screen, 6.1" against 5.8". The 13 is the lighter phone at 173g against 188g, and only the 13 has a water-resistance rating (IP68); the 11 Pro has none.
