What iPhone is the same size as 11 Pro Max?

iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 11 Pro Max are almost exactly the same size, but iPhone 11 Pro Max's beautiful OLED display is a full inch bigger than the LCD screen on the older model.

Can an 11 Pro case fit an XR?

Some iPhone models, such as the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR, are close enough in dimensions to fit in the same case — at least in theory.

Is the iPhone XS Max the same size as the 11 pro?

Wrapped in a stylish glass and aluminium shell, iPhone XS Max sports a big 6.5-inch OLED screen, perfect for streaming movies and online gaming. iPhone 11 Pro is a much smaller phone – its 5.8-inch OLED display encased in frosted glass and stainless steel.

Are XR and iPhone 11 the same size?

The iPhone 11 and iPhone XR are the exact same size (5.94" x 2.98" x 0.33"). But due to differences in their rear cameras, the same cases won't work on the 11 and XR. That said, both phones have the same 6.1" Liquid Retina LCD.
