BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): The iPhone 11 was one of Apple’s biggest commercial successes and, even seven years after its launch, it still arouses the interest of consumers looking for a branded cell phone at a more affordable price. But how much would it cost today, if we consider the inflation accumulated since its arrival in Brazil?
Launched in September 2019 and officially available on the Brazilian market from October of that year, the device cost R$4,999 in its most basic version, with 64 GB of storage. Corrected by the IPCA until September 2026, this value is equivalent to R$ 7,358.92.
At the time, Apple also presented the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. It was the first time that the company used the Pro nomenclature on its cell phones, while the Pro Max combination debuted to identify the more advanced version with a larger screen.
The conventional model had a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD screen, A13 Bionic chipset and two 12 MP rear cameras, one main and one ultrawide. The set also marked the arrival of Night mode, which improved photographs in low-light environments.
The Pro and Pro Max models had 5.8 and 6.5 inch OLED screens, respectively, in addition to a third rear camera with a telephoto lens.
Even in 2026, it remains a sought-after option in the used and reconditioned market. The device also draws attention for its longevity, as it received iOS 27, launched in September 2026, even seven years after its debut.
However, this should be the last major system update available for the iPhone 11, considering its age and Apple’s support history. The manufacturer has not yet confirmed the end of updates, and the cell phone may continue to receive security fixes even after it stops receiving new versions of iOS.
Furthermore, the device already has some limitations compared to current models, such as the lack of 5G connectivity and support for Apple Intelligence’s artificial intelligence features.
