I have an Iphone 7 which I am fine with, but I noticed that Chase points are worth 1.2x at the Apple Store for August. We usually use points for travel, but since we don't have any opportunities for the next year (sob); I thought I might take the opportunity to get a new IPhone.
There's four different choices currently
IPhone 11
IPhone 11 Pro
IPhone SE
IPhone XR
I mostly am just excited about a better camera and I'm leaning toward the regular 11. Does anyone have any experience with this version yet?
I have the iPhone 11 because I couldn’t justify the extra cost for the Pro just to have a better camera. Although a coworker has the pro and the camera is much more crisp even when zooming.

I have the 11 Pro Max. It's the first time I've gotten the Pro of any of the iPhone's because I preferred the smaller phones. It's a nice phone. The camera is great. No problems so far.
I went from the 7 to the XR and have no complaints. It's been a great phone. That said, if I was buying one right now, I would probably go with the 11. The 11 Pro's camera is better, but it's a pretty hefty price jump for a better zoom camera. It does also have more storage though if you don't have a lot of your stuff on the cloud.

I just went from a 5 to an 11. It's pretty nice - phones are not my thing. I pretty much just text and occasionally call, if I have to. I don't shop, GBCN, or do much internet reading on it and I never play games. I like that it is bigger because the 5 was tiny. The screen pretty much goes edge to edge. It took a minute to get used to no home button. The camera is better than the 5 for sure. It comes in a really pretty green (which was a surprise, and I got an Otterbox that's the same color so I can still see it).

I still have a 6S, haha. My partner on the other hand gets a new one every time it they come out, so he has the 11. I'm not sure if he has the pro or the pro max, but it has the 3 cameras. I do love the camera on the 11, but I still can't justify the cost, grrr. I got a new battery for my 6 late last year and now it's working good as new, so I'm going to stick with it. I guess for you I'd probably go with the 11 because I think that camera is still good and it's several hundred dollars more for the pro or pro max.
Thanks everyone; I'm sure you are dying to know. I got the 11. It was 55,920 points down from 69,900. It has to be shipped and can't be picked up in store which is a bummer, but I did get RED so I'm excited to see it.
We upgraded from the old SEs to the new SEs when they came out and are happy with them. It’s nice to have the functionality of the iPhone without the big ticket cost of the super fancy ones.
