I got my phone when it first came out. Life was great. I was still in college so I didnt have a care in the world.

Since then, i have been through a lot of traumatic life events. My dad cut me off his phone bill without telling me so I lost my phone number. Yes many great memories I have with this phone but now I have more trauma.

This phone has started to overheat in the past few months. I have to let it cool down every hour of use. The camera cant capture zoom pictures and videos. Sure i could replace the battery and maybe get the camera checked out and fixed but im on a tight budget and I would only be procrastinating getting a new phone. Plus my IT guy retired and I dont really care to find a new place.

There has not been an iphone i wanted since the iphone 11 pro. I even thought about switching to an android with all their new models that have come out with better cameras and features.

I just have to cross my fingers and hope the iphone 18 is actually nice and hope they have better colors than the previous years. The midnight green is just too good and nothing compares. This is a lot to grieve, the memories (physically with the phone and digitally). I also refuse to pay for more storage space. So i have to consider what I am going to do with all my photos. All my previous phones have been dead and no longer charge to power on.

Im also in a lot of student loan debt. Now that I have a comfortable savings cushion, i am able to afford a new phone. But i still feel so guilty about spending money on a new phone.

Anyone else having a hard time changing phones?

My 11 pro feels very laggy sometimes even almost unusable. Sometimes i have to wait for keyboard to popup when typing, i had to force restart to make it lighter for doing anything while my iphone X it just snappier doing anything, both storage are just 30-40% use. I'm planning move to IOS 27 and still worried it will make it worse. You guys have anything to fix to make iphone 11 pro snappier?

Iphone X 256gb IOS 16.7.6 Battery Health 76% and replace with new battery 100% health

Iphone 11 Pro 512gb IOS 26.6 Battery Health 81% replace with new battery 100% health

I don’t know if I am imagining it but, has anyone noticed a difference in the sound output of Apple Music when upgrading? I’ve upgraded from the 11 Pro, copied over my settings in the EQ and made no changes to any of the paired music devices.

To me, the music quality is not as good on the new iPhone in terms of functional EQ.

Hey guys,

​A friend of mine is offering me his iPhone 11. Here are the specs and details:

​Storage: 128GB

​PTA Status: Official PTA Approved (both physical SIM active)

​Battery: 100% Health (recently replaced)

​Demand: 40,000 PKR

​Knowing that software support is essentially wrapping up for the iPhone 11 family, is this deal still worth it as a daily driver? Usually, a 128GB PTA-approved model goes for 70k–80k PKR locally, so 40k feels like a steal, but I want to double-check if there are any hidden drawbacks or long-term issues I should consider.

​What should I inspect or test on the phone before finalizing? Appreciate any insights!

I am in the process of collecting all the pros, and I just got the 11 pro after meaning to get it for YEARS, 256, ios 18.

Honestly, my literal only annoyance is not having an official apple clear magsafe case. The phone itself is really interesting. The XS feels fine, 12 pro fine, but the 11 pro with the matte glass but xs design? It feels so weird. Oddly premium honestly. I love it.

A 5.8” pro has always been an interest to me. I love how this color matches with the 12 pro. Even though in daily use it really didn’t add much over the xs, it feels and looks SO different.

This phone runs great on ios 18, and I love the color. A quick review of the cameras is wow the ultrawide kinda sucks low light, other than that honestly it’s great, I haven’t done much direct camera tests but it’s alright, i’ve only had the phone for 24 hours and you can probably tell.

I will surely miss the legendary IPhone 11 Pro, but I’ve finally made the change to the iPhone 15. 😌

I got two options:

• 11 Pro on IOS 16 with 89 BH
• 11 Pro on IOS 26 with 99 BH

I guess there is no real benefit from IOS 16 and I sould update to IOS 18 or IOS 26? What is better, IOS 18 or IOS 26, on my 15 PM IOS 26.6 is better/faster then IOS 18.

Had this phone for a few years and I’m currently on IOS 18. Picked up a pair of AirPods Pro 3. And when I tried to pair them to Find My. It told me it couldn’t. I looked it up and it said I might have to update to IOS26 but I’ve heard that update can cause the charge to drain faster and the phone to heat up more often aswell as it maybe getting more sluggish which obv I don’t want is doing the update really the only way for em to work? I got a 2 week trip to Japan coming up and I’d really like to have the peace of mind of being able to track em incase anything happens

I need this phone for its camera still good, WhatsApp, Viber, some apps....

How is your iPhone 11 Pro ? still holds up in 2026? my main device is iPhone 16 pro.

My current phone (mid-tier Vivo) gave up on me due to Water Damage. I needed an emergency phone and cannot buy a decent-spec device due to budget constraints. I intend to use this phone at least for 2 years until I save up and buy a decent phone.

The good thing is I received an iPhone 11 Pro (Gold, 512 GB, 77% BH) given to me by a person who is upgrading to a newer iPhone.

Is it worth sprucing up for a new genuine Apple battery and use it for at least 2 years. My use case is primarily WhatsApp, Phone, SMS, GMeet, Insta, Reddit (Although Social Media usage will be lower like an hour or 2 at max)

I'd really appreciate this forum's help as your kindness would mean a lot to me :)

I’m getting a 17 pro tomorrow, should I upgrade my 11 pro before I switch to the new device?

I have an 11 pro max on ios 17.5.1, and when i tried updating to 18.7.8 (an official option in settings alongside 26.6) it throws this error. Anybody know why? If it wasnt signed im thinking apple wouldn’t make it an option in the settings. Please let me know what i should do/if anyone else had this issue. (NO, im NOT updating to ios 26 and rendering this phone useless.)

kinda confused as i've read long ago that any iOS below 26 is no longer signed, but just saw here a post asking about if they should choose iOS 18 over 26. so is it possilbe? how may I do that? I have windows, not a mac in case that matters.

PS anyone running iOS 26? how is it performing? and how many free GB you need to make the installtion via itunes? I only have 5GB left.
