Swappasaurus says...
The Apple iPhone 11 was released in September 2019. Despite being the affordable 11th generation iPhone, it’s still quite a premium device. At its heart, the iPhone 11 is powered by the same A13 Bionic chip with machine learning as its bigger brothers, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Camera capabilities are also great thanks to a dual rear camera with 4k 60 fps video recording and night mode. And all those pictures and videos are sure to look great when viewed on the vibrant 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display.

iPhone 11 Storage
Swappasaurus says...
The iPhone 11 is available in three storage options: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The 64GB model is the most popular on Swappa and is probably the best choice for most users because it’s cheap and it can still hold several apps and games, as well as many photos and a little video. Choose 64GB if you primarily stream media content or use cloud storage providers such as iCloud or Dropbox. Opt for the 128GB or 256GB models instead if you frequently download movies and TV shows for offline viewing or if you record a lot of videos.
iPhone 11 Colors
Swappasaurus says...
The iPhone 11 comes in six colors: Purple, Yellow, Green, White, Black, and PRODUCT(RED). Purple is the newest addition to the six color options, and the iPhone 11’s Green is much lighter than the Midnight Green offered by the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
