r/iPhone11

Hi guys,

Really need your help in figuring out what to do. I am using iphone 11 from past 5.5 yrs with bh of 72%. Do i need to replace with genuine battery or an aftermarket? I have a tight budget on buying new iphone.

Need your help guys😌

So on my iphone i used the in built eSIM feature of apple on my airtel postpaid sim, but even after like 3 hours it is still showing activating in settings with no signal, help me urgent pls

my iPhone 11 got stuck in recovery mode, I have investigated and I understand that it is something like it does not have storage space (my iPhone 11 was at the storage limit) so when I want to reset it on iTunes with a Windows 10 PC I get the error 4013, is there a way to recover that iPhone? I'm not interested in the data I had, I just want it to work again

i’m noticing some apps are no longer compatible with my phone and i’m concerned about security. but i’m also concerned about the photos app being worse, the keyboard being worse and apps being laggier overall.

i got a new battery last year. basically i’m just concerned that i’m going to regret updating. any advice or personal experiences are appreciated.

I bought this ip11 4 years ago, and i wonder can this phone still good at water resistance. I asked chatgpt and it says the waterproof seal isn’t good as when it is brand new, this make me worried since my wet hand sometime touches the seam between the screen and the waterproof seal and the camara Edit: The ip11 is NEVER opened for repair, i plan for battery replacement the next few months, with the high capacity option

I updated ios version to 26.4.2, its lagging a lot

Tim Cook and his team have been hammering on the need for everyone to update their IOS to the 26.5! I’ve been reluctant to do that because I think it’s ran down my battery faster and make my 11 pro obsolete!

So for whoever has had theirs upgraded, is it worth it or it’s just another nightmare?

If you haven’t yet would you?

If you’re expert would you advise me to?

Hello everyone, I'm an Apple user at heart but have been using the Samsung Note 10+ for the last 5 years, the phone has served me well all these years but recently I'm having issues with receiving calls and 4G and the big size has genuinely started to annoy me

I decided to go back to iOS but I don't want to break the bank, I looked at the used market around me and I can get a good condition 11 pro or iPhone 12 so I wanted to ask from your experience if you're still using an iPhone 11 how is it in 2026?

I don't care if it won't get the next iOS update as the iPhone 12 won't get the one after it anyway

However the 11 Pro has a smaller screen and ever so slightly bigger battery compared to the 12 which are intriguing facts to me, so what do you recommend? Thank you.

So in my mothers iPhone 11 whatsapp is taking 27 GB of space but in reality only taking up 8 gb i tried backing it up but there isnt enough storage in Icloud to back ts up what should i do 😭🙏 also cant take subscription

Here's the details...

- Bought the phone brand new upon release in 2019

- I've kept it on Low Power Mode for most of its lifetime

- I use it daily for calls, messages, social media, internet browsing and taking photos

- I don't use it for gaming, the only other apps I use are AI apps, Spotify, YouTube and a few other streaming services

- It's had a high quality case it's entire lifetime along with a screen protector

- Every 6 months or so I deep clean the speaker/mic/charging port.

- Daily screen time is between 2-3 hours (although this was higher when I first got the phone, maybe around 4-6 hours)

- I'm running the latest iOS 26.5 update

- It came with 128GB of storage and has 22GB left out of this

- Battery health is sitting at 72%, but this still lasts me a full day when just using it for the basic things I need it to do (calls, messages, occasional social media browsing)

- Camera still works a charm (smooth 4k 60fps video, night mode, and just high quality pictures overall)

- Absolutely zero lagging, zero glitching, everything still runs so smoothly

So my question is this.... how the hell is my phone functioning so well after all of these years?!

I have a friend who had an iPhone 14 and they replaced theirs this year because it was lagging and they were having issues with the camera. For example, they'd type and sometimes the characters would delay for maybe half a second before popping up on the screen. They showed me the camera and the camera and photos apps just seemed glitchy to me (I don't really know how to describe it). They'd open apps and the app opening animation (when the app icon expands to open the app fully) would sometimes play twice or flicker fast when opening. And if I was in the same boat as them, I would've upgraded too.

I've heard multiple accounts of people with iPhones newer than the iPhone 11 encountering the same and similar issues to what I just described.

I honestly have no clue how my phone is still functioning so smoothly.

Share your stories if you're having the same experience as me! I'd love to hear about your iPhone 11 experience!

I have iphone 11 and IOS 26.4
Will it be better for battery consumption to stay at it or to update to 26.5?

Currently iam using ios 17.6 Should i update to ios 18.7.8 BH 78

i’m still on ios 18 on my iphone 11

is there even any real reason to update to the latest version?

i replaced the battery recently so the phone feels good again, but i’m still not sure performance and battery life would stay the same after updating

honestly if i had the choice i’d probably stay on ios 17 forever lol

hey i have an iPhone 11 with ios 18 and am just wondering whether should i update to 26.5 or not ? dose it preform well? will i face any lag or issues? or should i stay at ios 18?
