With the release of the new iPhone 17 series, the price-performance ratio of older-generation iPhone models has once again come into focus. The iPhone 11, released in 2019 and long one of Apple’s best-selling models, continues to be an attractive option for many users.

Does it make sense to buy an iPhone 11?

With its 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display, dual camera system, and A13 Bionic processor, the iPhone 11 offers sufficient performance for everyday use. The model, which will also receive Apple’s latest iOS 26, also offers satisfactory software support and represents a logical alternative to enter the Apple ecosystem.

The iPhone 11, still available brand new at some retailers in Turkey, is priced between 22,000 TL and 34,000 TL. This price range offers an option for those looking for an affordable iPhone experience.

However, some key differences stand out when compared to the new iPhone 17 family. The new model offers the most up-to-date experience with its advanced camera technologies, battery life, and 5G connectivity. The iPhone 14 stands out with its security features, such as emergency satellite connectivity, while the iPhone 13 maintains a balance of performance and battery life with its A15 Bionic processor.

Unlike these models, the iPhone 11 features an LCD panel and older-generation camera technology. The fact that the iPhone 11 is six generations behind puts it technologically behind newer models.

In this scenario, the rationale for purchasing the iPhone 11 depends entirely on the user’s budget and expectations from a phone. What are your thoughts on this? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
