An iPhone 11 is 5.94 inches (150.9 mm) tall, 2.98 inches (75.7 mm) wide and 0.33 inch (8.3 mm) deep, weighs 6.84 ounces (194 grams) and has a 6.1-inch display.
Below are those figures in inches, millimetres and centimetres, the screen measurements, the weight, and a side-by-side size comparison with the iPhone 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, XR, 12 and SE (2nd generation).
iPhone 11 physical dimensions in inches, mm and cm
These are Apple's published measurements for every iPhone 11, whatever the colour or storage capacity. Apple notes that size and weight vary slightly by configuration and manufacturing process.
| Measurement | Inches | Millimetres | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height | 5.94 in | 150.9 mm | 15.09 cm |
| Width | 2.98 in | 75.7 mm | 7.57 cm |
| Depth (thickness) | 0.33 in | 8.3 mm | 0.83 cm |
| Screen (diagonal) | 6.1 in | about 155 mm | about 15.5 cm |
| Weight | 6.84 oz | 194 g | 194 g |
The height and width give a front footprint of roughly 114 square centimetres. Measured along the long edge, the phone is just under 6 inches.
iPhone 11 design overview: glass back and aluminum frame
The iPhone 11 sits between the compact iPhone 11 Pro and the larger 11 Pro Max in height and width, but at 8.3 mm it is the thickest of the three. Its build explains part of that size.
| Design element | iPhone 11 | What it means for size |
|---|---|---|
| Back panel | Glass | Glass adds weight compared with an all-metal body |
| Frame | Anodized aluminum band | Lighter than the stainless steel band on the 11 Pro models |
| Front | All-screen design with Face ID | No Home button, so the display runs almost edge to edge |
| Rear cameras | Two 12 MP cameras: Wide and Ultra Wide | A square camera area on the back, so cases need a matching cutout |
| Display type | LCD with IPS technology (Liquid Retina HD) | A 6.1-inch panel sets the overall height and width |
| Water and dust rating | IP68, up to 2 metres for 30 minutes | Sealing is built into the same 8.3 mm depth |
| Colours | Black, green, yellow, purple, white, (PRODUCT)RED | Colour does not change the dimensions |
iPhone 11 screen size and display dimensions
Apple sells the iPhone 11 as a 6.1-inch phone. Because the display has rounded corners, Apple measures it as a standard rectangle, which gives 6.06 inches diagonally, and the actual viewable area is a little less.
| Display spec | iPhone 11 value |
|---|---|
| Advertised diagonal | 6.1 inches (about 15.5 cm) |
| Diagonal measured as a rectangle | 6.06 inches (about 15.4 cm) |
| Panel type | Liquid Retina HD, LCD Multi-Touch with IPS technology |
| Resolution | 1792 by 828 pixels |
| Pixel density | 326 ppi |
| Contrast ratio | 1400:1 (typical) |
| Maximum brightness | 625 nits (typical) |
| Other display features | True Tone, wide colour (P3), Haptic Touch |
The iPhone 11 Pro packs more pixels into a smaller 5.8-inch OLED panel at 458 ppi. The iPhone 11 screen is larger but less dense.
How heavy is an iPhone 11? Weight and size perception
At 194 grams (6.84 ounces, about 0.43 pounds), the iPhone 11 is heavier than the smaller 11 Pro and lighter than the 11 Pro Max. Weight shapes how big a phone feels as much as its outline does.
| Model | Weight | Difference from iPhone 11 |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | 148 g (5.22 oz) | 46 g lighter |
| iPhone 12 | 164 g (5.78 oz) | 30 g lighter |
| iPhone 11 Pro | 188 g (6.63 oz) | 6 g lighter |
| iPhone 11 | 194 g (6.84 oz) | Baseline |
| iPhone XR | 194 g (6.84 oz) | Same weight |
| iPhone 11 Pro Max | 226 g (7.97 oz) | 32 g heavier |
A case adds its own weight on top of these figures, so a rugged case can push the iPhone 11 close to the bare weight of an 11 Pro Max.
iPhone 11 form factor and ergonomics: buttons, ports and grip
The 75.7 mm width is the number that decides one-handed use. It is 4.3 mm wider than the iPhone 11 Pro, so reaching the far top corner with your thumb takes more stretch.
| Physical feature | Where or what | Ergonomic effect |
|---|---|---|
| Side button | Right side | Reachable with the right thumb when held in the right hand |
| Volume up and down | Separate buttons | Easy to find by touch through a case |
| Ring/Silent switch | Hardware switch | Mutes the phone without looking at the screen |
| Charging port | Lightning connector | Uses Lightning cables, not USB-C |
| SIM tray | Right side, holds one nano-SIM | eSIM supplies the second line |
| Speakers | Built-in stereo speakers | Landscape video gets sound from both ends |
| Biometrics | Face ID | No fingerprint sensor or Home button to reach |
A slim case keeps the width close to the bare 75.7 mm, while a thick rugged case makes the phone wider still.
iPhone 11 size compared to other iPhone models
The iPhone XR and iPhone 11 share exactly the same outer measurements. The 11 Pro and iPhone 12 are noticeably smaller, while the 11 Pro Max is taller.
| Model | Height x width x depth | Screen | Weight | Versus iPhone 11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 11 | 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm (5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 in) | 6.1 in LCD | 194 g | Baseline |
| iPhone 11 Pro | 144.0 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm (5.67 x 2.81 x 0.32 in) | 5.8 in OLED | 188 g | 6.9 mm shorter, 4.3 mm narrower |
| iPhone 11 Pro Max | 158.0 x 77.8 x 8.1 mm (6.22 x 3.06 x 0.32 in) | 6.5 in OLED | 226 g | 7.1 mm taller, 2.1 mm wider, 0.2 mm thinner |
| iPhone XR | 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm (5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 in) | 6.1 in LCD | 194 g | Identical size and weight |
| iPhone 12 | 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4 mm (5.78 x 2.82 x 0.29 in) | 6.1 in OLED | 164 g | Same screen size in a 4.2 mm shorter, 4.2 mm narrower body |
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm (5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 in) | 4.7 in LCD | 148 g | 12.5 mm shorter, 8.4 mm narrower |
The iPhone 12 fits the same 6.1-inch diagonal into a body 4.2 mm shorter, 4.2 mm narrower and 0.9 mm thinner.
iPhone 11 size in daily use: user experience and practical implications
Match your own habits to a row. The iPhone 11 suits most people who want a large screen without the 226 g of the Pro Max.
| Your situation | Is the iPhone 11 a good fit? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You type and scroll mostly with one hand | Borderline | At 75.7 mm wide, the top corners are a stretch for smaller hands |
| You watch video and read a lot | Yes | The 6.1-inch screen is the same diagonal as the iPhone 12 |
| You keep the phone in a front jeans pocket | Usually | At 150.9 mm, it is shorter than the 158 mm 11 Pro Max |
| You are upgrading from an iPhone 8 or SE | Expect a big jump | It is 12.5 mm taller and 46 g heavier than the SE (2nd generation) |
| You are replacing an iPhone XR | No size change | Both phones measure exactly the same |
| You want the lightest 6.1-inch iPhone of that era | No | The iPhone 12 weighs 30 g less with the same screen size |
iPhone 11 cases, accessories and compatibility
Buy a case labelled for the iPhone 11. The iPhone XR has the same outer dimensions but only one rear camera, so its case cutout does not match the iPhone 11's dual-camera square.
| Accessory | iPhone 11 compatibility |
|---|---|
| Cases | Choose cases made for iPhone 11 (150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm, dual rear camera) |
| iPhone XR cases | Same body size, but the single-camera cutout does not match the iPhone 11 |
| iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max cases | Do not fit: different height, width and a triple-camera layout |
| Charging cable | Lightning connector; charging via USB to a computer or a power adapter |
| Fast charging | Up to 50% in 30 minutes with a 20W adapter or higher (sold separately) |
| Wireless chargers | Works with Qi chargers |
| SIM | Dual SIM: nano-SIM and eSIM; micro-SIM cards are not compatible |
| Video out | Up to 1080p through the Lightning Digital AV Adapter or Lightning to VGA Adapter |
A screen protector also needs to match the 6.1-inch LCD with its rounded corners, so pick one sold for the iPhone 11 or XR display size.
iPhone 11 size by country: global model numbers
The iPhone 11 is the same size everywhere it is sold. Apple publishes one set of dimensions for all three regional model numbers; only the cellular bands differ.
| Model number | Sold in | Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| A2111 | Canada, United States | 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm | 194 g |
| A2221 | Other countries and regions | 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm | 194 g |
| A2223 | China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao | 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm | 194 g |
Metric countries quote the phone as 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm, while US listings use 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 inches. Both describe the same handset.
How to check if your iPhone is an iPhone 11 by model number
The iPhone 11 and iPhone XR look almost the same from the front and share every dimension. The model number settles which phone you hold.
- Open the Settings app and tap General.
- Tap About.
- Look at the part number shown to the right of Model Number.
- Tap the part number to reveal the model number, which starts with A.
- Compare it with the list: A2111, A2221 or A2223 means an iPhone 11.
- If the screen is broken, remove the SIM tray and read the model number printed on the upper side of the slot under bright light.
A quicker visual check: the iPhone 11 has two cameras on the back, while the iPhone XR has one.
