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:
https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/magnify-the-screen-iphd6804774e/ios
Go to the page, click on the "supported models" hyperlink and you'll see this:
Interesting. Wonder why the regular Pro is the only one without the Zoom feature.
Thanks for the heads up though.
Thank you!

Why in the world would they not continue to offer such an important accessibility feature, especially on just one model? Makes zero sense. C’mon Apple, get this fixed!!!
Thank you. I read your answer to the first post and I did go to that specific link and post this issue. This omission of Display Zoom is hurting us visually impaired. Thank you for your feedback
Thanks for posting your comments. I’m not hopeful Apple will fix the 11PRO but every comment helps
Excellent point. I agree with you. Even through there has been three iOS updates, Apple still refused to address this issue. It’s a simple fix too. Thanks for joining in this discussion

Just bought IPhone 11 Pro and no zoom feature for icons. Going to return because display is smaller than IPhone 7 with zoom on. Yike 1150 dollars and less features than old phone.
I just wrote to Apple using the above link. Thank you for that info. I’m in the same boat. I like this phone but I don’t like the small app icons. Is there anything else we can do???
It is my first day with my new iphone11pro. I just discovered this problem. The icons on my 6 are bigger than on the 11 Pro. I am considering returning the phone now. Very disappointing.
Just confirming that the lack of Display Zoom on the 11Pro is a deal breaker for me.
Notice how the 2020 iPhone SE, a $400 phone, has Display Zoom, while the $1,000+ 11 Pro still does not. How embarrassing and painful is that?!?!?!
Yeah!
I got my display zoom today with IOS 14. Now my I phone 11 Pro as good as my 7. But happy to have it again.
