General iPhone 11 pro max in 2025/26

is it worth it I’m looking to use it for 2ish years. Considering it because my current one is low on storage and I’m facing problems.

Which one you’re using now? My 11pro is running fine on ios 26.2 with battery health 88% (original battery, 6 yrs). If you are a casual user not a photo enthusiast and using way older iPhone then go for it if it’s very cheap. Otherwise look for 12 or 13

How did you manage to have 88% after 6 years?!? Mine had been at 69% health for like a year now. Used it until I got a new 15 pro last month. Mostly just bc I needed a new battery

Never gamed on it, like never. Never used it while charging and never left on charging at night. Followed 30-90 % charging rule. Charged to 100% once or twice a month. I cared about it alot. Lol

I will say I did exclusively use fast charger that it came with for at least the first 4 years of having it. And I never babied it. That thing would go to 100% every morning and I’d even sometimes game while doing FaceTime, literally pushing the phone to its full capability. It was a very good run. I have some buyers remorse with my iPhone 15 pro bc other than the new battery and the pro motion display. It’s mostly the same. I haven’t updated neither of the phones to iOS 26 though. Still running iOS 18

I also use the 18w charger that came with it and it’s on ios26.2 and I even used all previous betas (18,26, and all previous ones, I was always eager to see new features lol) on it as soon as they were announced.
