The design of the iPhone 11 is rather similar to that of the iPhone XR from 2018; in fact, if you place it face-down and cover the camera, thereโ€™s very little to show itโ€™s a new phone at all.

You could, perhaps, tell by the new colors on offer โ€“ mint green, lilac and lighter yellow shades join the Product (RED), black and white variants on offer this year. But beyond that, the iPhone 11 and XR look identical from the front.

On the rear, things are a little different. Weโ€™ve talked already about the unsightly camera bump on the back of the phone, but the iPhone logo has also been moved downwards and โ€“ in a new move โ€“ the word โ€˜iPhoneโ€™ is nowhere to be seen.

This is something we expected to disappear, and it could herald the point in the next couple of years where we see the model number or name disappear completely disappear completely โ€“ the iPhone 12 could well be the new iPhone, as has become Appleโ€™s practice with the iPad.

(Or, itโ€™s just redundant. What else is a phone with an Apple logo going to be called? In fact, itโ€™s odd that itโ€™s taken this long for Apple to drop the iPhone wording on the rear).

If youโ€™re reading this review wondering whether to go for the iPhone 11 or the new iPhone 11 Pro, then youโ€™ll want to know the cheaper device is a little thicker - admittedly, only 0.2mm so, but you can feel the difference if you hold both.

But that thickness doesnโ€™t stop it feeling premium; the glass and aluminum combo might feel a little old, given itโ€™s been used by Apple for so long, but given the iPhone 11โ€™s price it certainly feels worth the cash.

One the bottom of the phone youโ€™ll still find the same old Lightning connector โ€“ we canโ€™t help feeling that this will be replaced by a USB-C port in the near future, as it allows for faster charging.ย
