Apple Says iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 3 Now 'Vintage'

[goldmac2006]

It may be the last year of iOS compatibility for the iPhone 11 series.

I did predict one time that iOS 26 would drop the iPhone XR and iPhone XS series (and the 11s) altogether, due to the fact that they are similar to each other in terms of their chipset and their battery capacity. Glad I upgraded out my iPhone XR to the 15 Pro months prior to WWDC 2025.

Loved my 11PM. It served me well. One of the greatest iPhones in the modern era

I'm still using the 256GB Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro, but this year I'm upgrading to the base iPhone 17 in Mist Blue.

The iPhone 11 Pro was a great device. Night mode for the first time, 4K 60fps video with amazing image stabilization (OIS), an ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12MP front-facing camera, a great battery compared to its predecessors, and fast (for iPhones 😉) 18W charging.

I'm surprised how good this device still is.

The things I missed most were: the lack of HDR video and the lack of USB-C.

I still remember going into fashion stores and seeing that green on many clothes…

You mean it’s been already 8 years since then? My God… I’m getting old faster than I thought.
