It has been exactly two weeks since I upgraded to the iPhone 11.  I have to be honest, it was less of an upgrade then I would have expected over three years.  Maybe my expectations were out of line and I just had high hopes?  Things that I thought might be more impactful?
Speed - Sure it is faster but honestly not a huge difference
Screen resolution - I was expecting that the higher end and higher resolution would be very noticeable.  Not sure I have noticed at all.  I did early on realize that the screen is longer (Top to bottom and it was a bit distracting but only for a day)
Screen to the edge and no home button - Screen to edge really didn't make a difference other than the notch at the top.  At first it was distracting and now I don't notice.  For the first week the lack of a home button was really hard to get use to.  Now I really like the facial ID thing.  This is a great upgrade.
Here is where the positives start.
The biggest thing is battery.  This is not a small thing.  For sure a three year old battery is going to be struggling (Since it is used every day)  On the 7 Plus if it lasted all day under strong use (But not heavy)  The 11 Pro Max is amazing battery wise. I charged it over night last Friday and took it off the charger Saturday morning.  Let it go off charge till Tuesday at work and was still on 38%.  Dang!
Wireless charging is great.  Like just being able to sit it down on the charger and pick it up later.  No plugging and such.  I have a charger in the car that is wireless charging also.  Super cool.
The way iPhones now move the data from one to another when you get a new phone is super cool.
Honestly haven't used the camera's so we will see.
Yep, that is it!  Wish I could say more.  Would I do the upgrade again?  Definite yes mostly due to the old one being 3 years old and the new battery.  The level of innovation is not that amazing for three years.
