Why am I scraping Twitter data with R, and the collected tweets are not complete sentences?

I am trying to scrape tweets from Twitter by searching keyword, but it seems that the tweets I collected are not complete sentences. Long tweets only contain half of the whole content. Is there any word limit or sth?

library(devtools)
library(rjson)
library(bit64)
library(httr)
library(base64enc)
library(httpuv)
library(twitteR)
library(ROAuth)

options(httr_oauth_cache=T)

## Twitter authentication
consumer_key <-"**************"
consumer_secret <- "**************"
access_token<-"**************"
access_secret <- "**************"

setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token,
                    access_secret)

tweets11 <- searchTwitter("#iphone11",lang="en",n=2000)

enter image description here

Many thanks!

twitteR has been archived and deprecated in favor of rTweet.

If you check the feature comparison in the README for rTweet you will see that twitteR does not support extended Tweets.

rTweet's syntax for search is very similar, and it includes the tweet_mode=extended parameter transparently for you.
