Should you upgrade from the iPhone 11?
Your 11 is 7 years old. The 18 Pro is a real step up.
- It is 7 years old. Apps and iOS features increasingly assume newer hardware.
What the iPhone 18 Pro adds over the iPhone 11
- A20 Pro chip, 7 generations newer than your A13.
- 36 hours of video playback, against 17 on yours (both with a new battery).
- Apple Intelligence and the new Siri, which need an iPhone 15 Pro or later.
- A 120Hz screen instead of 60Hz, so scrolling is noticeably smoother.
- USB-C instead of Lightning, one cable for your phone, laptop and iPad.
- A telephoto lens, which your phone does not have.
- A 48MP main camera instead of 12MP.
In the United States, an iPhone 18 Pro 256GB costs $1,199. After selling an iPhone 11 it costs $1,099 to $1,121. Your own result depends on battery health, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your phone.
