Should you still buy an iPhone 11 Pro now?
I'm slowly starting to need a new phone and would like to buy an iPhone. I've been thinking about getting the iPhone 11 Pro because I really like the round design and it's very affordable.
But is it now outdated for 2024, or could it still be useful? Since the phone was released in 2019
I wouldn’t do it because it’s not known if it still gets iOS 19. I’m still going out, but you won’t get an iOS 20 to 70-80%. You also pay too much money for outdated technology! Pay 300€ more and have a current technique.
Comparable is it like when I buy a PC with Windows 10 now. This year might come Windows 12, and 2025 will turn Windows 10 off. So he wouldn’t give any sense to buy the device just because it’s a little cheaper or?
Do I really need the latest updates? I found the device for only 300€, excellent condition, new battery and 256gb memory. It’s enough for me to use it for two to three years.
Of course you need to install the current iOS version. Not only are new features, but more important are closed vulnerabilities.
Well, if you prefer to throw away your iPhone several times than buying a good one you can do it already. If the phone costs 300€ and you replace it every two years, you can also buy a new current and then use it for 7 years.
I wouldn’t buy anymore, as the update support will soon expire.
I would buy a maximum of 12s or 13s, which are refurbished even barely more expensive.
