    $500 refurb vs $680 brand new at TGG feels like a bit of a thin discount tbh. But a + for a well described deal!

      The iPhone 11 as well as the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 Pro with its Max variant were discontinued and removed from Apple's website after the announcement of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro on September 7, 2022

      Ive seen these before and I can assure you they are NOT REFURBISHED at all other than a quick clean
      They dont even do the 32 point check, I can assure you of that too
      And you will notice no mention of battery condition.
      That hasnt been changed either and thats one thing you would expect to have been done with a 'refurbished" phone.

      How do I lknow?
      Bought one and the camera didnt work
      Sent it back after numberous emails and got a different one back with only 80% battery

      It developed problems with the speaker.
      Sent it back and asked for the battery to be replaced as per Apple guidance on Batteries and they refused because the phone was "working".

      Worse still they only allow a single claim on the warranty which is not mentioned anywwhere

      So stay well away from these "not refurbished" phones

      They say over 80% and the cheapest way to replace is @apple for $110 with a genuine one (third party batts are fake and the replacement done often with stuff all tools; cant recomend) ~ ALSO if it had a non genuine screen (but works touch wise, its prob LED not OLED) return for a replacement!

      Not great, but still decent.

      $919 - iPhone 11 Max - 256GB
      $ ? - iPhone 12 Pro - 256GB
      $ ? - iPhone 13 Mini - 256GB

      …these are the decent devices to consider.
      Don't go for anything below the 11 Max, in my opinion, and the iPhone 14 lineup is mostly disappointing. If you want the "latest and best" you really should wait for the Late-2023 lineup. It's what Apple is releasing for most of 2014, and these will come with a big leap in capability (new architecture, new lithography node, potentially faster/larger photography options).

      • MisterTee on 27/10/2022 - 16:23

        If you want the latest and best, wait 12m?

        That will perpetually be true, for all tech, and you’ll never buy anything.

        • thegreatermamba on 27/10/2022 - 17:34

          I think he means diff/year

        • Kangal on 27/10/2022 - 22:29
          +7

          No, what I mean is that there are times to "buy now" and times to "wait up". For instance, the iPhone 5S lasted alongside the 6 and 6+, much longer than the iPhone 5C.

          This happens because Apple rolls out updates to devices in groups, based on their capabilities. They have a reputation to uphold. The Apple A14, A15, A16, are all basically the same processor. They're in the same family. So they will all get platform updates together.

          The Apple A13-Bionic was a weird one, where it's much faster than the A12 and A11, and very close to the capabilities of the A14. So I think it is a decent buy today and will age okay. Just as long as you get the Max variant, so that battery life is acceptable. The iPhone X and XS will be left behind, and they will age far worse. You can come visit this comment in several years, mark my words.

          So why did I say wait, specifically, for the Late-2023 iPhone 15 ? That's because it will have the Apple A17-Bionic, which is the start of the next family of chipsets. This next-gen platform has been pushed back 1-2 years by the pandemic. What it is; it's a new architecture, and it's a full-node jump from the 6-4nm class down to the 3-2nm class.

          Apple have changed from a tick-tock 2-Year cadence, to a new 3-Year trend or possibly 4-Years. How they do this, separate their new devices from their old ones, is by spreading out the improvements into distinct groups;
          - new processor,
          - or new form-factor,
          - or new feature (camera/display/antenna/misc).

            @Kangal: This is really interesting perspective. I will wait for phones with A17 bionic processors.
            Thanks

          • try2bhelpful on 29/10/2022 - 07:44

            @Kangal: Nice summary. I went Apple 4 to Apple 6 Plus to Apple XS. My current view is I update when the iOS updates stop.

            In my case the phone is, basically, a support device for my watch and my iPad and a camera; so the thing I find most significant is improvement in camera technology.

            The technology is now mature enough you don’t get, “buy one now”, improvements every year.

          iPhone 11 released in 2019 - iOS 16 just released with support for iPhones from 2017, so most likely another two-three years of iOS updates to come for the 11.

          Lets take a look at some Android flagships from that era to see if they are getting Android 13.
          Samsung Galaxy S10? - Nope.
          Pixel 4? Nope.
          Zenfone 6? Nope.
          Honor 20 Pro? Nope.
          LG G8 and V50? Nope.

          Say what you want, but Apple supports their devices for way longer than Android suppliers.

            @ltotapeking: But a OS major version update for Android is a much more significant change, then an IOS update. Apple are excellent at drip feeding updates (both on hardware & software) which is why they're good, because less goes wrong.

            But you can't really compare the two just on OS updates. Where you could be arguing is on security updates which is where Apple wins hands down. Google only offer security updates for 3yrs are the release date. Apple is around 6yrs (so iPhones released in 2017 & beyond get IOS16).

            But having said that, Apple suck, Android rulez nyer nyer nyer nyer 😝

            I got an Android phone from late 2017 that I still use. Battery health is 80%+.It doesn't need updates because all my apps are still updated and functional. I have even expanded the usage of it via third party app stores.

      What do you regret about the 64gb? I have a ipad mini 6 cellular with 64gb and i use it with external portable hard drive. But for day to day use outside the house I use both iphone xs and 12pro they have both 512gb. Just curious to know why 64gb for an iphone is bad, I just bought a iphone se 2020 64gb second hand for $160 recently for sibling and it needs a replacement battery which i bought on ebay for $20. I have some experience changing batteries myself for iphone 5 and 7.

          I’ll see if my sibling can put up with it. Before the iphone xs and 12pro I had the iphone 7 32gb and iphone 5 32gb and it was okay at that time. Not trying to make a debate. I just came from 32gb phones before is all :)

    iPhone 11s are pretty solid phones, yes old and specced out for around this price but if you need something reliable with good updates and don't want any pwm with decent cameras you really can't go wrong.

    Why people always having ios vs Android arguments? I have used both iOS and Android phone, just buy whatever you like and lets others choose their own.
