Display

Like the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11 uses an LCD display that it calls the "Liquid Retina HD" display. It measures in at 6.1 inches and features a 1792 x 828 resolution at 326 pixels per inch.

Though the iPhone 11 has an LCD instead of OLED display, Apple says it is the most advanced LCD that's been introduced in a smartphone, constructed with new engineering techniques. It is identical to the display in the iPhone XR, and is inferior to the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max displays.

The iPhone 11 display continues to support Apple's latest technology advancements including Tap to Wake to activate display with a single tap, a swipe-based gesture system to replace the Touch ID Home button, True Tone for matching the white balance of the display to the ambient lighting, and wide color for vivid, true to life colors.

It has a 1400:1 contrast ratio, which is one of the areas where it falls far short of the iPhone 11 Pro models. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max have a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, which means their colors are richer, blacks are blacker, and there is HDR support, which is unavailable in the iPhone 11.

HAPTIC TOUCH

Apple eliminated the 3D Touch feature in the iPhone XR and replaced it with a new Haptic Touch option, which has now rolled out to the entire 2019 iPhone lineup.

Haptic Touch is similar to 3D Touch and offers much of the same functionality, but it is not pressure sensitive so there are not multiple functions for each press. Instead, Haptic Touch is like a long press with haptic feedback. For more on the difference between Haptic Touch and the previous 3D Touch, make sure to check out our Haptic Touch guide.
