Anyway, just wanted to post a quick review - I actually bought the 11 for my little sister but she let me use it for a day!
Display: To be honest, coming from the iPhone XS Max, the drop in resolution is really obvious. I'm fine with LCD colors being not as punchy as AMOLED but I noticed when you view at photos taken by the camera, you'll see that it's a bit blur. When you zoom in, it is actually clear. I'm a photographer so maybe I find it more obvious. If you're not so particular about this then other than the gallery images, the display is good enough.
Built quality: This is Apple we're talking about. The built quality is really amazing. I prefer the brushed aluminum sides compared to my XS Max. The color. It looks GOOOD!!
Performance: Well it's using the latest chip from Apple. Won't say it's miles faster than my XS Max but if you're coming from a 7 Plus like my little sis, then the difference in speed is definitely noticeable!
Main camera: I really love it! Portrait mode now definitely supports subjects and because it doesn't use a telephoto lens, the images are not zoomed in. Image quality is really awesome! Night mode is pretty cool too. I noticed the difference between night mode and standard mode is not too drastic, but it does light up the image more. The wide angle lens is pretty good too - Won't say it's as sharp as the main sensor but it's definitely very usable.
Selfie camera: Definitely noticeably better in quality. Plus the angle is wider so you can fit more of yourself in frame. This is a massive improvement.
Battery: Again, coming from the XS Max, I'd say the battery did last a little longer than my XS Max. Definitely able to last through a day on heavy use. Unplugged at 8.30am, about 30% remaining at 6pm. I bought a 3rd party 18w charger and it charged up really quickly. I know some of you only charge at night but once you get used to this speed, you won't go back to 5W!
Other than that, really nothing much else to cover. I'm really amazed by everything on the 11 except for the display which I think is a major drawback for me. Anyhow! That's just me! For any of you out there who purchased the 11, be excited as it's really one hell of an iPhone!

Is the night mode noisy?
