Only if you are okay and can afford to go with spending that 300 dollars for that oled panel and another 2x telephoto camera. In my case I just purchased the 11 non pro. Portraits works the same anyways and if I want close up macro shots, I have those cheap clip-on macro lens for the job. Answer from ocb05 on reddit.com

Compare The New Features Of iPhone 11 vs iPhone 11 Pro Camera
December 10, 2019 - So if you like to use Portrait mode, you’ll definitely want the iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max. All iPhone 11 models come with a new, redesigned iPhone 11 Camera app.

r/iPhone11 on Reddit: Iphone 11 or 11 Pro--which for a photography lover?
November 2, 2019 -

I love hobby photography, and I travel and take photos often. My camera is getting old, and I decided to switch to only iPhone photography for now.

I was thinking about getting the iPhone 11 Pro, but the main feature I would want is the 3rd lens. Is the 3rd lens really worth the $300 upgrade for a photo-lover?

The only difference for photography is the Telephoto lens. According to Phil Schiller ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rAeqN-Q7x4&t=1h26m35s ), there's also special calibration done at the factory of the iPhone 11 Pro series cameras to make all 3 of of them more identical to one another and there's also software trickery at work to further make them all the same. In the demo, yeah, the transitions between all 3 lenses are perfectly identical. The iPhone 11 demonstration though shows a fairly obvious difference between the 2 lenses/sensors it has. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rAeqN-Q7x4&t=55m47s However, in all the YouTube videos I have watched so far comparing iPhone 11 to iPhone 11 Pro and Pro MAX (and even videos only of the Pro or Pro MAX), I have yet to see any of the Pro & Pro MAX demonstrations by customers have that awesome perfectly-matched colors and lighting like Apple's demonstration for the iPhone 11 Pro series. I've been waiting to see it demonstrated by a customer and I've been waiting for someone to mention it! I'm still waiting! Every single time I have seen the camera lens transitions demonstrated in a YouTube video from an iPhone 11 Pro or Pro MAX, I can see pretty much the same differences in color and lighting as I see on my iPhone 11. I also haven't seen anyone complain about it either. I would, but that's only because I know the transitions between the 3 lenses are supposed to be identical in appearance. So from what I've seen so far, the only difference in the camera systems is the Telephoto lens.

iPhone 11 (or pro) or an actual camera (Canon Rebel T7 (or T7i)) for social media?

Personally I'd get a new iPhone unless you plan to shoot photography / video professionally.

Why?:

  • DSLRs can be cumbersome, take up extra space in your bag/luggage, take longer to set up, and require you purchase additional lenses, ND filters, microphones, etc...

  • iPhone cameras come with additional features that are easier to achieve on the device instead of in editing software (slow-mo, etc)...

  • iPhones are more stealth, if you're shooting places that don't allow cameras, also don't draw as much attention if you're shooting on the street / grocery stories / etc...

  • You can still edit things shot on iPhones on your computer if you plan to do any post production / color / etc...

  • If you're concerned about sound quality on a phone, they make mics that plug into the phone so you can still have that pro feel....that are still cheaper than buying a DSLR. I've shot plenty of content for YouTube using my iPhone.

  • Platform algorithms can recognize if you shot on mobile, or within the app.

Daring Fireball: The iPhone 11 and iPhones 11 Pro
The iPhone XS can capture still images and video that the iPhone X cannot. That’s exactly the case again, this time with the XS in the “last year’s phone” spot and the 11 Pro in the “this year’s phone” spot. It’s an impressive year-over-year camera improvement one year after an impressive year-over-year camera improvement.

September 23, 2023 - Feature comparison for the iPhone 11 vs. Pro 5.8" Model. The Pro doesn’t offer enough and is worse in some categories. Detailed explanations below. Let’s compare some photos side by side, from the ‘Standard’ 1x to 2x to 4x. You can see there’s not much difference between the digital 2x zoom on the regular 11 versus the third camera ‘telephoto’ optical 2x zoom.

February 19, 2020 - On the iPhone 11 Pro model, you have the same two cameras as the 11 Pro, however there’s also a 2x telephoto lens here – if you’ve used an older iPhone ‘Plus’ model or the iPhone X or XS then this will feel instantly familiar.

iPhone 11 Pro Camera Review — Travel Photographer - Austin Mann
August 29, 2021 - If you are a pro familiar with shooting long exposures, you'll immediately realize something is fundamentally different about how the iPhone 11 Pro collects light in Night mode. From what I understand, the way Night mode actually works is the camera captures a bunch of short exposures and slightly longer exposures, checks them for sharpness, throws out the bad ones and blends the good ones.

iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max review: The ultimate camera | Mashable
September 17, 2019 - Almost everyone I’ve shown the iPhone 11 Pro to say it’s not as offensive in person — the lens rings aren’t nearly as thick as closeup images make them appear — and the design is one of a kind (for now). The fact that I literally couldn’t go anywhere in New York City without drawing attention from people who spotted the triple cameras suggests the iPhone 11 Pros already have what Android phones could only dream of: celebrity status.

iPhone 11 - Wikipedia
2 weeks ago - An elevated area in the top corner on the back of the iPhone acts as a camera housing, containing the microphone, the flashlight, and both of the rear-facing digital cameras. The Apple logo on the back of the phone is centered to be equidistant to all edges and is made of a reflective material. The iPhone 11, along with the iPhone 11 Pro, uses Apple's A13 Bionic processor, which contains a third-generation neural engine.
