iPhone 11 pro and Display Zoom

On the iPhone Xs, the “Display Zoom” function was limited to the “max” version. This was quite a bummer when I bought my Xs, because my eyesight has gotten worse over time.

With the new iPhone 11 and 11 pro lineup, I was wondering if these models will support Display Zoom, or is this limited to the 11 pro max only?

I've been looking for that answer for a week or two and stumbled on this page buried in Apple's support site:

Go to the page, click on the "supported models" hyperlink and you'll see this:

Same with me, just brought home 11 Pro and it does not have the Display Zoom feature that I want. I want the icons to appear larger, I do not want to have to temporarily zoom with three-finger process.


I weighed for a long time, which 11 to go with and was concerned that the regular 11 Pro was smaller than the 11; in fact about the same size as my former 6 (although the 6 had top/bottom borders). I thought the 11 Pro Max would have been overkill, not to mention, a bit to cumbersome to handle in my (small) hands.


Hmm....may have to return this phone. So disappointing, Apple.

Just bought the new iPhone 11 PRO. This model DOES NOT HAVE THE DISPLAY ZOOM FEATURE That is available on other models. One CANNOT zoom the display to make the icons bigger. This is a real disappointment for us visually impaired folks. Apple why, in the world, did you not include this feature? It is, however, included on the iPhone 11 and 11 MAX. What happened? Please put in a fix and include DISPLAY ZOOM ON THE II PRO. PLEASE!

As a 65 yr old female I purchased iPhone 11 pro as my XS max was too large - how disappointing that there’s no view/zoom option. The XS max was on the upgrade programme so I upgraded that to the 11 pro max which has this feature but is still too big. Decided to keep the smaller version as an expensive spare but it will eventually replace my husband’s iPhone 7.

I will stick with the max in future due to the zoom feature.

APPLE please include the zoom feature on the next update for iPhone 11 Pro?

I just submitted a feedback on this very issue. I just purchased this phone yesterday and found this out today. I am now considering returning it. I can't believe that all but one model of iPhones, past and present, would not have this feature when it is literally the second most expensive iPhone on the market today. Not acceptable.

Yes, I returned my 11 Pro for an 11. The only reason was that the 11 Pro lacked display zoom. It does seem odd that Apple would disable this very useful feature on the smallest 11 which would benefit from it the most. Reading these posts, people have been mentioning this lack since last fall so I doubt Apple will make a change. I do like my 11 a lot and it saved me a few hundred, so in the end I was happy. But the size of the 11 Pro was perfect.
