For anything from watching TV to playing games, this phone can do it all with enough storage for your favorite apps. The iPhone 11 also has an IP rating which prolongs the life of your phone by keeping it safe. We'll also discuss the refurbished iPhone 11 price in Australia later on in this review.

IP Rating

Created to withstand regular use and daily life this phone was made to be not just water, splash, and dust resistant. This keeps the dust from entering the casing of the phone or damaging the insides of the device. While it is not waterproof and should not be submerged, it will not be damaged by light splashes of water across the phone or being out in the rain between the car and the house. It passed both the water and the drop test don’t by CNET, and is a great choice for people who need a phone to do all the basics with a few extras, but don’t need the most advanced features for regular use.

Camera

The camera has made advancements over previous versions and has a 12MP camera in both the front and back, both being wide to capture all the most important moments. With both an optical and digital zoom you can focus on just what you need and the colors for both the camera and the screen are more true-to-life than ever before. For evening photos the camera has a night mode with an ultra-wide option for photos.

Battery Life

Battery life will depend on your usage, but this phone offers hours of audio, video, or gaming on one charge. Using a fast charger gets you back to what you want to do with up to half in only half an hour, and you can use any charger that supports Qi charging. For video playback that is not streaming, you can get up to seventeen hours, while video streaming will max out at around ten hours of playback, if music or audiobooks are your preference you can get up to sixty-five hours out of one full charge. Storage capacity can make the most of the battery life, and the iPhone 11 comes in 64, 128, and 256 GB versions.

Colors

For a more fun addition, the iPhone 11 comes in a range of colors, with one that will suit everyone. The colors include black, green, yellow, purple, red, and white. Coming with the device itself you will find a charging cord, but no charging block or wired earbuds. This cuts down on packing for each and helps keep the price lower. By saving both space and shipping costs, the cost saved by not including the extra accessories can help offset the increased cost of the technology advancements that are common with newer phones. There are plenty of colors to choose from to match it with your favorite smartwatch band.

iPhone 12 vs. iPhone 11

As the new iPhone 12 is launched there will be a harder decision to make between the second hand iPhone 11 and the 12 for some people. The differences in these phones are mostly based on the chipset, and the screen, including the color and details in the video playback, and dual cameras. This phone may be on the must-have list for those who use their phone significantly for video playback and video games, the speeds will make it smooth and seamless while the improvements to the screen make video crisp and clear. Most average users are unlikely to notice a big difference between the playback on the iPhone 11 and the 12 as the 11 still handles every task with ease.

The deciding factor may be the price difference between the two versions. Currently, the iPhone 11 128gb price starts at $649 AUD, and the iPhone 11 256gb is priced at $689 AUD. The refurbished iPhone 12 is priced at around $699 AUD. To save more consider buying a refurbished iPhone 11. You may be wondering what is a refurbished device, we’ll explain a bit.
