Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple iPhone 17 Pro

Our Verdict: The Apple iPhone 11 Pro has the clearer appeal for the lighter 188g body versus 206g; the Apple iPhone 17 Pro pushes back through the larger 6.3" screen versus 5.8", the higher-resolution 48MP rear camera against 12MP, the sharper 18MP selfie camera. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro is currently cheaper on the lowest total contract cost at about £145, roughly £798 less than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro. There is also much wider deal availability for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, with 19,123 active deals versus 24. That makes the Apple iPhone 11 Pro the value-led pick, unless the larger 6.3" screen versus 5.8" on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro is worth paying extra for.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 11 Pro is the cheaper buy at £139 SIM-free.
