Apple iPhone 11 vs Apple iPhone 11 Pro

Our Verdict: Same generation, two tiers: the iPhone 11 Pro at the top and the iPhone 11 below it. The 11 has the bigger screen at 6.1" against 5.8", while the Pro has the sharper one at 463 PPI, and the Pro offers up to 512GB of storage versus 256GB on the 11. The Pro uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 11's LCD, and only the 11 has a water-resistance rating (IP65); the Pro has none. Get the Pro if those extras are worth it to you; otherwise the 11 covers the basics for less.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 11 is the cheaper buy at £111 SIM-free.
