That's not to say it's the best on the market โ if you want a phone with the best battery life around, look to the Android stable, where there are some long-lasting phones indeed. However, if you're intending to stick with Apple, the iPhone 11 offers decent battery life, especially for the price.
Thereโs no fast charger in the box with the iPhone 11, which is clearly a cost-saving move as the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max both have an 18W charger in the box, which powers up the iPhone 11 far more rapidly than the standard USB plug it comes with..
To give you an idea of the difference when it comes to charging speeds, we tested using the slow charger in the box and a fast-charging unit separately.

Using the standard, slower charger from the iPhone 11 box, after 20 mins it had gained 10%, and pretty much carried on that โ1% every two minutesโ rhythm until fully charged.
Using a fast charger, in 24 minutes the iPhone 11 had gained a whopping 35% charge, and by 12:03 was at 75%, where we needed to remove it to take it on the go. To get a largely-full battery in under an hour is brilliant, and we recommend you upgrade to a fast charger when you buy the phone.
Also, if weโre recommending things, remember that the iPhone 11 supports wireless charging too, so getting yourself a wireless pad for home and for work will see you rarely with battery anxiety again - itโs a worthwhile investment, even if the charging is slower.
Buy it ifโฆ
You want a 2019 iPhone for cheap(er)
OK, it's not cheap, but it's by far the most cost-effective phone we've seen from Apple since the iPhone SE - and it's far more powerful.
You want longer-lasting battery life
The battery life on the iPhone XR was good, and that's continued with the iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is slightly better here, but you can buy with confidence on the 11.
You want a phone with a very strong camera
The iPhone 11's night mode, two lenses and forthcoming Deep Fusion combine to make a very competent snapper - almost matching what's available on the more expensive Pro range.
Donโt buy it ifโฆ
You want the most powerful iPhone out
While the iPhone 11 has got some grunt, it doesn't quite match the raw power of the 11 Pro range - we doubt you'll notice much of an issue at all, but one to note if that spec matters to you.
You want brilliant battery life
This might sound confusing given the above point about great battery, but while the iPhone 11 has good longevity, there are plenty of phones on the market that last longer.
You need a huge capacity for media and apps
The iPhone 11's storage options top out at 256GB - that's going to be fine for nearly everyone, but if you love a terabyte of space, that's not on offer here.
