Apple iPhone 11 review: The best $700 iPhone Apple has ever made
Update, Nov. 9: iPhone 12 is here. Read CNET's reviews of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Apple may have skipped flashy extras on this year's phones, but the iPhone 11 is the best midtier model the company's ever made.
Even faster speed, improved battery life; The iPhone 11's cameras get an excellent new Night Mode and an ultrawide-angle camera that can add extra detail in photos; Fantastic video camera.
Only Pro models get the 2x telephoto; The ultrawide-angle camera doesn’t add Night Mode; No USB-C port; The Pro phones have a faster 18-watt charger but the iPhone 11 doesn't; Still has a good (but not OLED) display.
