Apple iPhone 11 vs Apple iPhone SE (2nd generation)

The iPhone 11 is the better pick for most people: a 6.1-inch screen, Face ID, an ultra wide rear camera and a much larger battery make it the more capable phone. The iPhone SE (2nd gen) runs the same A13 Bionic chip in a small 4.7-inch body with Touch ID, so it is faster-feeling for its size and easier to use one-handed. Both are 4G phones on their last years of iOS updates, so buy on condition and battery health rather than specs. Owners of the 11 praise smooth performance and realistic photos; SE owners like the size and Touch ID but more often report weak batteries on used units.

• Choose the iPhone 11 if you want a bigger screen for video and photos, a second ultra wide camera and Face ID, and you don't mind a heavier phone.
• Choose the iPhone SE (2nd gen) if you want a small, light phone with Touch ID and the same A13 chip, and you prefer a home button over Face ID.
