Apple iPhone 11 vs Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Our Verdict: There's three years between the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 14 Plus, so the iPhone 14 Plus is ahead on most things. The 14 Plus 5G supports 5G while the 11 tops out at 4G, and the 14 Plus 5G packs the bigger battery, 4325mAh against 3110mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use.

Coming from the 11, the 14 Plus 5G is a genuine upgrade rather than a token one.
The 11 is the cheaper one to own: around £486 over a typical contract, £209 less than the 14 Plus 5G.
