And so, the iPhone 11 is almost 4 years old. Should you consider purchasing it?

iPhone 11 remains a standout choice amidst the sea of smartphone options. Its versatility and performance cater well to everyday needs, making it a reliable companion for most users. Should you still consider purchasing iPhone 11 in 2022, given its appealing price point?

Explore the reasons why iPhone 11 is still worth buying in this article by 24h Technology. If you're a devoted iFan, chances are you won't overlook this iconic model.

Is it worth buying iPhone 11, with its classic 'first-gen' appearance?

iPhone 11 boasts a design quite reminiscent of its predecessor, iPhone XR. With its classic curved edges and sleek glass back available in multiple colors like blue, red, purple, gold, white, and black, there's a shade for every preference.

A noteworthy feature is that the latest iPhone 14 series also offers similar color options. However, upon comparing the two lineups, the color choices on iPhone 14 Pro 128GB, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone 14 Pro Max exude a more luxurious and refined feel. So, when it comes to colors, you might consider exploring the iPhone 14 series when purchasing a new iPhone at Mytour!

Personally, I absolutely adore the rear design of the iPhone 11. It's incredibly easy on the eyes, devoid of any rough edges, and importantly, doesn't have a cluttered appearance. Moreover, the iPhone 11 boasts a compact form factor, making it easy to hold and slip into pockets or purses. Even with prolonged use, it doesn't strain the hand.

On the front, you'll still find the characteristic 'notch' display of Apple, housing the Face ID sensor cluster for security. Although the screen bezels are still quite thick, overall, it looks quite balanced.

iPhone 11's photography and video recording capabilities are still top-notch.

If you're not too picky about photo quality and just need to snap pictures or shoot videos for social media, this iPhone still meets your needs exceptionally well. From my personal observations, I've seen many iPhone 11 users snapping photos for their stories while at cafes, traveling, or even using their iPhones for TikTok.

It must be acknowledged that although the camera technology is over 2 years old, thanks to the excellent optimization of iOS, photos and videos taken with third-party apps like Instagram and TikTok still look sharp and impressive. Just lift your phone, press the shutter, and the photo is instantly saved to your device.

Below are some photos taken with the iPhone 11 in various environmental conditions for your reference.

Note: when posting photos online, the image quality is reduced. It's recommended to visit Mytour stores or borrow a device from friends or family to experience the camera's true capabilities.

While not extremely sharp, entertainment viewing on the iPhone 11 is still decent.

At its launch, the Liquid Retina display of the iPhone 11 sparked much debate, with mixed opinions on its display quality flooding tech forums and review channels. Priced at tens of millions of dong, yet sporting only an HD+ display with fairly thick bezels similar to its predecessor, the iPhone XR.

However, currently, the iPhone 11 is a great buy with its incredibly competitive price, priced at just over 11 million dong at Mytour (updated as of October 28, 2022).

That's because people have experienced OLED screens on high-end iPhone models, which makes the iPhone 11 screen seem less attractive. Personally, I upgraded from an iPhone 7 Plus, so I didn't feel any difference other than a larger screen with new touch gestures.

I'm someone who frequently indulges in entertainment right on my phone. Whenever I come home tired from school or work, lying down on my bed, scrolling through TikTok, or watching entertaining YouTube videos is simply wonderful. The weakness of the HD+ screen becomes a strength when it provides impressive video playback time.

So, I've watched many Netflix movies and series on my iPhone 11, and I can't seem to drain the battery no matter how much I watch.

Over 2 years old now, is the configuration of the iPhone 11 still good?

The performance of iPhones remains stable over time. My friend still uses an iPhone 8 Plus to dominate in Mobile Legends, so there's no reason why the iPhone 11 can't perform well, right? However, when gaming on the iPhone 11, it's advisable to adjust the game settings accordingly.

With the power of the A13 Bionic chip, except for the game 'destroyer of all configurations' Genshin Impact, no game can pose a challenge to the iPhone 11. It's not as powerful as the A14 or A15, and currently the A16, so the iPhone 11 handles gaming quite smoothly, rarely experiencing overheating.

However, you should be mindful not to play for extended periods if you don't want to encounter the annoying brightness reduction issue typical of iPhones. Every time I play COD for too long, the screen immediately dims, making it impossible to see opponents and leading to continuous losses. Quite frustrating, folks.

If you use your iPhone 11 heavily, expect to charge it twice!

Currently, the battery on the iPhone 11 isn't as good as when it was first released. It's understandable since it's over 2 years old and has to run the latest iOS versions. So, the battery life of the iPhone 11 now only lasts for over 6 hours with mixed usage. If you're a heavy user, you might need to charge it twice a day.

More peace of mind if you ever lose your phone

Another reason why the iPhone 11 is an extremely worthwhile purchase in 2022 is the feature of finding your phone when it's turned off. This feature is only available on devices equipped with an A13 chip or higher. So if you happen to lose your beloved device, don't worry too much, just stay calm and track it down.

What should you pay attention to when buying an iPhone 11 in 2022?

Based on real-world usage experiences, the iPhone 11 is truly suitable for those who want to upgrade from older iPhone models or switch from Android to iOS for the best iOS experience in many aspects.

Currently, the price of the iPhone 11 is extremely good, just over 12 million dong (updated as of July 6, 2022), and you can already own it. In my opinion, the price of such a device as the iPhone 11 is excellent compared to many competitors in the same segment, suitable for those who love the smoothness of iOS but have limited finances.

Conclusion: Should you buy the iPhone 11 in 2022?

Among the iPhone models available on the market, the iPhone 11 is undoubtedly the most worth-buying phone in many aspects. While higher-end iPhone models are difficult to afford and older iPhone models are no longer available new and suffer from annoying lags.

Therefore, the iPhone 11 with its reasonable price, excellent iOS experience, long-lasting battery, and sophisticated Face ID notch screen are the factors that make it the best choice from Apple.
