A Used iPhone 11 is a Practical Choice, and Here’s Why
The iPhone 11, released in 2019, stands as a testament to Apple's commitment to creating devices that withstand the test of time. Although Apple no longer sells this phone on their official website, here are reasons why you should get it secondhand:
The iPhone 11's enduring design is a key factor that sets it apart in a sea of ever-changing smartphone aesthetics. It features a durable Corning-made glass front and back for durability and aluminum frame with rounded corners and flat edges – a design that stood the test of time. The iPhone 11 shows how little the iPhone has changed over the years. Well, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it!
Continued software support is a critical aspect that distinguishes the iPhone 11 as a practical choice in 2024. Apple typically provides software updates for their devices for as much as 7 years after release. So even if you buy a used iPhone 11 today, you can still use the latest iOS version that current models this year have.
While the A13 Bionic chip may not be the latest Apple chip, it is a formidable processor that delivers reliable performance even to this day. In 2019, the A13 Bionic was one of the fastest chipsets in the market with a six-core CPU and a quad-core GPU – basically the same setup as current iPhones, but on a different chipset.
When you think about it, the performance of iPhones has reached a stage where the differences between each generation are minimal. Considering you are spending close to RM6,000 on a brand-new device that will eventually depreciate, it is more practical to consider purchasing an older, secondhand model. Popular apps like TikTok and Instagram will continue to function on used iPhones without any issues. Sometimes, you just don’t need all the performance specs of a new iPhone.
Another standout feature of the iPhone 11 is its camera. Like most base iPhone versions, it has dual-lens 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultrawide sensors). Granted newer iPhones have higher megapixels than the iPhone 11, but they still share the same camera features such as Optical Image Stabilisation, Smart HDR Technology, Portrait, and Night Mode. Even though you’re buying a new iPhone, you will still be using the same camera features as a used iPhone anyway, so why spend more?
In conclusion, choosing a used iPhone 11 over the latest flagship models is a practical decision. The enduring design, continued software support, reliable A13 Bionic chip, and impressive camera performance make the iPhone 11 a compelling option for users who seek a premium Apple experience without the premium price tag. As technology progresses, the iPhone 11 stands as a reminder that sometimes, the most practical choice is one that has proven its worth over time.
