That means the earlier leak of the 11 being dropped by IOS 27 was wrong!

8 years of support here we go!

Clarification: The iPhone 11 came out in 2019. The Samsung equivalent is the Galaxy S10. My daily driver is an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but I also have a Galaxy S10. It has a better keyboard than the iPhone (it doesn’t autocorrect common words to names of people I’ve never met, for example), and better home screen customisations, but it hasn’t seen an update in years. I mainly use it as a cosplay prop — from the case to the home screen, it’s designed to look like the NookPhone from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. But it also has a memory card slot, and I keep an offline copy of my music on that. So while I do have Apple Music on it (cleverly rebadged as “Nook Music”), I also have an offline collection and Poweramp. I would not be too upset to use it in 2026. So I imagine an iPhone 11, especially an 11 Pro, would perform even better.
