When Will iPhone 11 Stop Receiving Updates?: Latest News and Expectations

The iPhone 11 Continues to Thrive in Brazil and Expected to Receive Updates for Years to Come

The iPhone 11, released in 2019, continues to be one of Apple’s best-selling devices in Brazil, with prices currently hovering around R$ 2,800. However, one of the most frequently asked questions about this device is when it will stop receiving updates from the manufacturer. Apple typically updates its iOS operating system for up to five years, but the number of updates a specific device will receive has never been officially specified.

Recently, it was announced that certain iPhones would no longer receive software updates beginning in 2023, as reported on Edital Concursos Brasil. However, Apple has yet to confirm which models will be impacted. This can be frustrating for Apple’s devoted customers, but it would be impractical for Apple to promise ongoing support for older models ad infinitum.

In 2015, the iPhone 6S was released with the iOS 9 operating system, and it reached up to the iOS 15, which was launched in 2021, providing it with six years of updates. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, launched in 2016 with the iOS 10, stopped receiving updates at the same point as the iPhone 6S, with the iOS 15. It appears that the iOS 16 may be the last update for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X, but this information has not been confirmed by Apple.

So, what is the expected life cycle of the iPhone 11? As stated earlier, Apple typically provides five years of software updates for their devices, but there is a high probability that the iPhone 11, released with the iOS 13 in 2019, will receive updates until the release of the 2024 or 2025 version of the operating system – making it reach the iOS 19.

Despite not having 5G support, the iPhone 11 remains popular for its excellent cameras, A13 Bionic chip performance, and high-quality construction. It also comes equipped with wireless charging, water and dust resistance and various color options. Conversely, the iPhone 12 released in 2020, which does offer 5G support, is expected to have many years of software updates remaining.

In conclusion, even though there is no concrete information from Apple regarding how long they will support a specific device, based on history and trends, one can predict that the iPhone 11 will be a long-lasting device that will continue to receive software updates for years to come.
