Am thinking of pulling the trigger on the iPhone 11 through an amazing deal with my work. The 12 is not an option.

I currently use the iPhone 8 & was wanting to know from others how is the size comparison? I don’t want something huge but a tad larger than the 8 is good.

My wife has the 8 Plus & it’s too wide. How does the 11 compare in width?

I just don’t want to be disappointed & with current Covid lockdowns on stores nothing is open that will allow me to test it in my hand and get the feel for it.

Dimensions above pulled directly from Apples website.

It seems the 11 isn't as wide or tall as the 8 Plus.
 
11 is a brick. height and width are one thing. thickness and weight are a problem on a daily basis. at this angle, the 8 plus is very slim.

Yes, I can see from the comparison above that the 11 is lighter. however, there is also a subjective feeling. i had 11 for over a year and my wife still uses 8 plus so i know from experience
 
Picked up the 11 & started using it today. Does feel a little large but might get a pop socket to get a better grip.
