The iPhone 11 Pro brought the triple-camera system to a size that fits one hand, ultra-wide included. Buy it refurbished and you get that range for a fraction of the price, battery-backed at 85%+ so it still holds up shot for shot.
At a glance
The iPhone 11 Pro was Apple's first phone to carry the "Pro" name, and it earned that title. It's a strong choice if you want a compact iPhone with a triple camera at a low price. It suits photographers, anyone upgrading from an iPhone X or XS, and buyers who want a premium feel without a premium price tag.
The iPhone 11 Pro has a 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, a triple 12MP camera system with Night mode and 2x optical zoom, and the A13 Bionic chip. It launched in 2019 and supports iOS 26, with updates continuing for the time being.
If you are comparing iPhone 11 Pro deals, the main difference is testing and aftercare. A professionally refurbished iPhone from The Big Phone Store gives you clear grading, battery checks, warranty cover and support after purchase.
Best for: Amateur photographers, budget users, those upgrading from the iPhone X
Performance: A13 Bionic chip
Camera: Triple 12MP system — Wide, Ultra Wide and Telephoto, with 2x optical zoom and Night mode
Battery: Up to 18 hours of video playback
Software: Supports iOS 26, updates will end soon
Consider a newer model if: you want better battery life, 5G or Apple Intelligence
Apple launched the iPhone 11 Pro in September 2019, and with it, introduced the "Pro" branding to iPhone for the first time. Apple marketed it around the triple camera system, a new Ultra Wide lens that no iPhone had ever had, and a significant jump in battery life over the iPhone XS.
The initial reaction was positive. The Verge called it "the best iPhone Apple has ever made," and the telephoto and Ultra Wide cameras drew particular praise from photography reviewers. The new Midnight Green colour also generated significant buzz, becoming one of the most talked-about iPhone colours in years, and selling out quickly in many retailers. According to market research from Omdia, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are estimated to have sold around 47.5 million units combined.
In 2026, the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro is worth buying if you want a compact Pro iPhone with a triple camera at one of the lowest prices in the refurbished Apple range.

How The iPhone 11 Pro Compares
The iPhone 11 Pro improves on the iPhone XS most clearly in camera range, battery life and display brightness.
Feature | Technical Upgrade | What You Notice Day to Day |
|---|---|---|
Camera | Adds Ultra Wide lens to Wide and Telephoto | Three lenses instead of two makes wide-angle shots now possible. You can fit more people or scenery into one photo, making it useful for group shots, holidays and cramped spaces. |
Night mode | Added for low-light photography using the Wide camera | Much better low-light photos without turning on flash. |
Battery | Up to 4 hours longer than iPhone XS | A longer battery life means your phone should last the work day without needing a charge, if you're using it lightly. |
Display | Brighter Super Retina XDR OLED | It's easier to read or scroll outdoors and in bright light. |
Processor | A13 Bionic replaces A12 Bionic | Faster processing and more efficient performance for apps, games and social media. |
Design | Matte frosted glass back | Better grip and a more premium feel in the hand. |
Video | 4K 60fps and extended dynamic range | Better video quality with more natural-looking colour. |
Size Note: The iPhone 11 Pro has a 5.8-inch screen, the smallest of the 11 range. If you want a larger display, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch screen.
The Big Phone Store Team Summary: The iPhone 11 Pro is a clear step up from the iPhone XS. You get a third camera (Ultra Wide), Night mode, up to 4 hours more battery life and a brighter display, all for a price that's usually similar on the refurbished market. The XS hasn’t got anything significant that the 11 Pro doesn't, and it’s no longer supported by Apple, so for most buyers the 11 Pro is the obvious choice between the two.
The iPhone 11 Pro is a solid refurbished option. Customers who choose it are usually looking for a phone that does the job, but doesn’t cost a fortune. And that’s a pretty good summary of what the 11 Pro is in 2026. It’s not the newest or flashiest phone, but it does everything you need it to do.
It’s a bit smaller than newer Pro iPhones, which shouldn’t be an issue if you’re upgrading from a similar-sized older model, but it’s something to bear in mind. For the price, there’s honestly not much to complain about with this model. It’s a bit more exciting than the standard iPhone 11, without costing much more.

Try the iPhone 11 if you want a bigger screen at a lower price without the telephoto lens
Try the iPhone 11 Pro Max if you want the same Pro camera in a larger body with longer battery life.
Try the iPhone XS if your budget is tight and you don’t mind a smaller battery.
Try the iPhone 12 Pro if you want 5G and MagSafe at a similar price point.
Camera and Size
The main reason to buy the iPhone 11 Pro is that it has the triple camera setup in the smallest possible Pro body.
It's the cheapest way to get telephoto zoom, Ultra Wide and Night mode in an iPhone, and at 144mm tall, it's significantly more compact than any current Pro model. Night Mode was a significant improvement at launch, and it’s still a great feature today. For anyone who wants a genuinely capable camera phone at under £200, there's not much competition.
If you're still undecided, we have dozens of other iPhone models available. See our range or get in contact!

From years of working with used phones, we know that problems often start before the phone reaches you. There is a big difference between a second-hand iPhone 11 Pro and a refurbished one, but in both cases it's important to be careful. The main issues are weak battery health, unclear grading, hidden faults, poor replacement parts, blocked phones and sellers listing stock they do not actually have.
Before you buy a refurbished or used iPhone 11 Pro, watch out for these common pitfalls.
Risk to Watch Out For | The Issue | What it Means for You |
|---|---|---|
Non-UK or imported models | Some phones may not be intended for the UK market. | You'll pay marginally less upfront, however the phone may sell for as little as 10-20% of its original value later on. Whilst you'll make a small saving to start with, you'll take a huge hit when it's time to dispose of the device, because imported devices are seen as a risk for buyers. |
Phones that are not actually in stock | Some sellers list phones before they physically have them ready to send. | Your phone is your lifeline, and we understand this well. Do you really want to purchase from a company who has a reputation of taking your money and then making you wait for weeks, or in some cases months for your device? |
Weak battery health | A phone can look clean but still have a worn battery. | Many of our competitors don't even mention battery life, and the battery you get is left up to chance. Who wants to spend good money on a device that only turns on for a few hours? Our minimum battery health is 85%, and you can upgrade to 100% at checkout for much cheaper than a high-street battery replacement would cost. |
Hidden faults | Camera, Face ID, sensors or charging port issues may not show in photos. | Many sellers cut costs by not testing your device properly, or in some cases not at all. We believe that every customer deserves a fully functional device from day one, which is why our return rate is one of the lowest in the industry. |
Poor-quality replacement parts | Cheap screens, batteries or camera parts can affect how the phone feels and performs. | Mobile phones are precisely built and sensitive devices. Some sellers use cheap phone parts that are more likely to break or become faulty. We use genuine Apple parts in 95% of the iPhones we repair. On the rare occasion that third-party parts are used, these will be of the highest quality possible, and only for screens and batteries. See our quality charter. |
Blocked, locked or finance-flagged phones | Risky sellers may list phones that later turn out to be blocked, iCloud locked, finance-flagged or not fully reset. | What might seem like a good deal initially could cost you further down the line when the phone is blacklisted from use. We check that your phone hasn't been reported stolen, isn't on the police register, doesn't belong to another company, isn't hacked, and doesn't have any viruses. |
Weak aftercare | Some sellers offer limited support once the phone has been delivered. | If something goes wrong and you need quick support, you may be stuck talking to an AI chatbot. In some cases, the customer support team may live in a different timezone and can't help you when you need it most. Our award-winning team is here to help you by phone, WhatsApp, email and more. |
