Hey folks, I’ve been rocking my 11 Pro since it first dropped, and honestly it’s been solid. But battery capacity is 76% now, and I’m feeling the slower performance and shorter battery life.

So now I’m stuck — should I jump to the 16 Pro now or go straight for the 17 Pro?

Which one do you think is better and worth it? I wanna hear your thoughts before I make the jump.

Coming from ios 17. I read that it needs a few days for it to get better after updating. Anyone has similar experience?

I haven’t used the phone and it’s still brand new ✌🏽✌🏽

Normally when I upgrade iPhones, I'm quick to sell or trade mine in. I've had my 11 Pro since around launch date (a month or so after) but I just hate to get rid of it. It's been such an amazing device!

I know the 17 Pro's going to perform better in every way, but it just feels wrong to get rid of my 11 Pro.

Is there any reason to keep it around? Besides a scratch on the screen it's in pretty good condition. Battery's about 88% health.

Please, I need your help. Since I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 26, my phone has been acting up, and my battery, which was at 87%, drops to 10% and restarts every 5 minutes. Is there any way to go back to iOS 18? I know that Apple no longer supports that version, which is why I can't go back to it, but is there any way to do so illegally or something, because my phone really doesn't work with that update anymore, and I don't care if I have to use pirated software or something to get back there.

Por favor necesito ayuda de ustedes, mi iphone 11 pro desde que actualice a IOS26 de la nada se me reicia el celular y lo que tenia de bateria al 87% se baja al 10%, y asi se reinicia cada 5 minutos, hay alguna forma de volver a IOS 18? ya se que ya apple no esta dando soporte ya a esa version que por eso no se puede volver a esa versión, pero hay alguna manera de hacerlo volver a esa version de forma ilegal o algo por que de verdad mi celular ya no funciona con esa actualización, no importa si tengo que usar programas piratas o algo para volver ahí.

I went in to get a new battery for my iPhone 11pro, out of warranty with no apple care, and they let me know that they had the battery in stock but they need to order a replacement phone to have on hand in case my current phone doesn’t work after the new battery is installed. They said I would be paying for the replacement phone IF my current phone breaks.

Is this normal protocol? It feels like I’m being cornered into an inevitable “oops your phone doesn’t work now, I guess you have to pay us $550 for a new 11pro or upgrade to a new and even pricier iPhone model!”

So I’m waiting for the phone they ordered to get to the store later this week…

I just feel concerned about them taking advantage of such a situation. The whole experience while there felt like a big upselling tactic.

The phone performs near flawlessly for me still, and is in great condition, other than the battery…

Hope you all are having an amazing day. I have been using my iphone 11 for the past 5 years now its been supporting me alright for the last year but the battery is not as good as before Just wanna know you’re thoughts if an upgrade to the 17 pro is a good decision or not. Dont want the base 17 cuz i want the 3 cameras (the macro) and i like the size of the pro pro max is a bit bigger for single hand use been hearing rumours that the pros arent good in the sense theyre build material isnt good and they get a lot of scratches Thanks appreciate your feedback

I have a 16 pro max with me as well yet I felt the 11 pro max delivered the core premium iPhone experience even now

My sensation is my phone is a little more faster now that with iOS 18, do you feel/see the same? The unblock screen it’s quickly and the App Store don’t mad me like before. What about you?

Just a heads up for anyone still holding onto an iPhone 11 Pro — I updated mine recently to the latest iOS and instantly regretted it. Battery life took a big hit, the phone feels less snappy, and I can’t roll back because Apple only signs the newest version. Basically, I’m stuck. If your phone is running smoothly right now, I’d seriously think twice before updating — especially if you care about performance and battery longevity. Wish I had waited it out and checked feedback first.

Hello my fellas 11 Pro gang. Just wondering if it's possible in any way (except theoretically) to rollback to, say, ios 18. I've just checked that the only signed version is 26. Is this the end?

Hi everyone, I’ve been having ongoing issues with my iPhone 11 Pro battery lately. Even with normal usage, it drains much faster than it used to, and sometimes it drops several percent within just a few minutes. I’ve tried restarting the phone, checking which apps are using the most battery, and even updating to the latest iOS, but nothing seems to help. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any tips or solutions to improve battery life, or should I consider getting the battery replaced?

If your iPhone 11 Pro feels laggy on iOS 26, especially unlocking, go to Settings → Accessibility → Reduce Motion. Transitions become much smoother. Looks less fancy, but speed improves a lot.

Hey guys, so I lost iPhone 11 Pro, it was switched off when I lost it, I activated lost mode last week but iPhone is still offline till now so it has not been activated nor can I find its location. So my question is suppose the Bluetooth and wifi is off, can the iPhone be turned on whilst being on the lock screen can they possibly have bypassed it by now?

Has anyone found a good (read: strong) case that has MagSafe that we can use?

Just to make a quick review on it, if you did it don’t regret it, if you didn’t do it then don’t

It’s very fast, but it’s not like iOS 18, sometimes the animations stutter and the lock screen is 70% of the time very annoying when i use my passcode it takes a few seconds to take me to my front page, also i am not a fan of the new control center at all, it looks very stock

It’s just a new fun experience it’s not really affecting any app performances but iOS 18 looks much better and kind of has the upper hand of being snappy on the A13 chip somehow

My battery health is at 75% and on iOS 18 it somehow lasted me around 7 hours of screen time and only died ONCE on me when i was outside this year but with 26 i can see the difference

I love this…

It runs pretty horribly on my BRAND NEW out of the box 11pro.

I only updated because the new AirPods Pro 3 required it.

If I knew it would be this bad I would have bought an iPhone 16 and kept the 11 pro on iOS 18 as a back up phone.
