Brand new with 1 year warranty, the seller is recommended etc. Unlocked.

What would the 11 be worth by the time the 13 would be out, so in like a year?

What is the battery life like with your 11?
 
Honestly... go for an iPhone X with a warranty.. You get the same features at a much lower price..

You can certainly get an X for cheaper but you don’t get the same features. The iPhone 11 is 2 years newer, has a much better camera, is bigger and has significantly better battery life. I wouldn’t advise anybody buy a current iPhone now though as it’s so near the launch of the iPhone 12.

True. If you want the no home button, a decent camera, portrait mode, an iPhone X would be much cheaper.

But if you want to be able to receive the newest updates, have a better camera, and be able to get it in different colors, go with the 11..

No go. That's full price for iPhone 11 when we're 4 months away from iPhone 5G.
 
If you did want the 11 with a warranty, it retails for about $660-700*

An iPhone X with a warranty is $399-500*

It just depends on what you really want.. But i’ve seen an iPhone 11 cheaper than that..

If you wait until 12 Series launch the iphone 11 will drop in price. If your not for waiting:

If your in the UK a good deal site to keep an eye on or setup an alert is hotukdeals. Daily deals are posted for all things, IPhones come up regularly. Current best deal found is £635 for red iphone 11. Example.

Some retailers have started to off load XS stock for near the £600 mark. Example. I'd say that's a better buy than an 11 if you can use OLED and only want until the 13 series. More premium build, great screen (higher resolution, deep blacks etc), great battery, blazing fast, arguably a better size.

If your price sensitive and already planning on your next upgrade after this one, an XR from Apple refurbished store is maybe a better deal to easily get you though until iphone 13. XR 64GB Apple refurbished £499. Virtually the same experience to the 11 except for the cameras. If that's important to you than then obviously XR is a no go.

OP, its a pretty good deal at £673 but depends where from. If its Ebay then its risky business. Us UK Apple users have to really work hard to get any kind of worthy discount don't we lol!
 
Thanks for all the replies. I decided to go ahead and buy the 11, was a good deal with a limited window (eBay promo code)

I used a 6s for four and a half years so this is a huge upgrade for me. I know I could have waited but I think I made the right decision.

I’ve gotten used to the notch already! Only downside is not seeing battery percentage but that can be added as a widget.

The eBay seller was excellent and I got the phone within 48 hours.
