My only reservation also. Have a pixel 2xl but looking at potentially swapping to an XR or 11. I've had plenty of iPhones over the years. The 7 being my last one. Can't remember ever having an issue with the screen so I think I'm just blinded by numbers and YouTube reviewers.

The LCD is probably the best in a phone, the resolution is a bit of a red herring as it’s still ‘retina’, you’ll not see the pixels. The blacks will be worse but I think you’ll quickly forget.
Most reviewers I watch recommend the 11 over the pro because of the price.

Using the iphone 11 myself and coming from the XS max... never really bothered by the resolution tbh.

I flipped from a Pixel 3XL to an 11, the screen is fine... you could find fault if being picky, but I’ve not got any issue with the difference in perceived screen quality expressed by the like and subscribe types!
I have the 11 Pro and my brother picked up the 11. I've messed about with his phone and the screen is pretty great to be honest. Resolution as noted above is not an issue and I actually found the colour representation to be absolutely fine. Of course the 11 Pro has a better screen but to be expected.

giff gaff have received my phone and are paying the amount quoted
Have you seen the drop tests of the new phone? I generally go naked anyway but I'd have no hesitation in using the new phone caseless.
I dropped my X without a case pods of times and hardly a mark on it. Apart from once when the screen went funny. I’m happy with the clear case.
I use my XS without a case, but there again it's insured. I'm not sure I'd risk carrying it around without insurance and knowing that the back plate costs a fairly ridiculous £500+ to replace. I could accept the cost of a new screen, but £500 for a piece of glass that shouldn't have been designed so hard to swap out would be a difficult pill to swallow. Especially since the glass plate on the Note 10+ (for example) is only £59 to replace.

Never damaged a single phone, dating all the way back to the original iPhone. My 11 Pro fell out of my pocket while I was running to a trauma, and the back glass cracked all the way across. Can’t have been more than 3ft.
Ouch hope it insured. £500 job that
Haven’t received service pricing lists yet but I assume £539 like the Xs
Yup it is

A strange thing has happened twice.
I'll leave somewhere with wifi so data connects to the mobile network. Everything looks okay. Good signal, showing 4g but no data actually works. If I go into airplane mode and back out again it fixes it. I did not experience this on my 8 plus. I'm on Virgin (EE) if that makes a difference. Any ideas?
Other than that I'm still loving this phone, still amazed by the battery life.

Sounds like a similar problem to what @JunglistE had? He got it swapped out for a new phone
Yep. I have that issue with my 11 Pro Max which I am using on EE. One eSIM and another physical SIM.
I did have the phone switched out with a brand new unit but the issue persisted. I called up EE and they said that in Bristol they're suffering a lot of outages which is why I am having the issue - I don't believe them but they said they'll pay this months bill+ Apple Music and if the issue persists after 30 days they'll pay that month too.
It's certainly not unique to me though. I made a post on the EE forums and it seems a few others have the same issue. It has been better the last few days but it still happens and it still makes me furious.
The fact you're on Virgin, I'm guessing they use EE radios? Has to be an issue with EE on some level. They haven't released any carrier settings either
