The iPhone 11, released in 2019, is expected to receive iOS updates until the release of iOS 26 in fall 2025. It is predicted that it will not receive major updates beyond iOS 26, meaning it likely will stop updating in fall 2026 when iOS 27 is released. Apple typically supports iPhones with iOS updates for about 6 to 7 years, and the iPhone 11 fits into this usual support lifespan. After the last major iOS update, the iPhone 11 will still receive security patches and app support for at least a year or two, so it won't immediately become obsolete. However, over time, newer apps or app versions may require more recent iOS versions, which the iPhone 11 won't be able to run once updates stop. In summary:
- Last major iOS update: iOS 26 (expected fall 2025)
- Support likely ends: fall 2026 (no iOS 27)
- Security updates and app support may continue for a couple more years after that.
