I bought a new iPhone 11! This is my first new iPhone since the iPhone 6
way back in 2014. I didn't keep the iPhone 6 for 5 years, but only
because I was able to upgrade to an "in-the-family" used iPhone 6S last year.
I was going to keep my iPhone 6S for another year, but a confluence of events led me to buy a new iPhone 11: (1) I was at the Apple store, and (2) a relative needed a good used, inexpensive iPhone, and my 6S seemed to fit that need best.
Anyhow, now I'm in the modern era. Here are my thoughts:
Surprising Likes:
Face ID. It's cool and fast. It's far better than I expected.
Cameras. The 11's cameras are a big step up from the 6S.
Battery life. Obviously a new, bigger battery performs better than an old, smaller battery.
Wireless charging. This is nice for my night table.
Indifferent:
I haven't missed the headphone port.
Performance is likely fantastic, but as a normal person, my 6S seemed great too.
Dislikes:
Hefty. New, bigger phones are heavier... and bigger (obviously).
No home button. I am still getting used to no home button. I feel like an old man.
That's it so far, hopefully I'll keep this in service until 2024. Stay tuned!
