No official Apple page gives a specific date for when the iPhone 11 will be discontinued, but the current support documentation shows the device remains fully supported.
When will the iPhone 11 be discontinued: what Apple's support pages show
The official support information shows the iPhone 11 is still compatible with iOS 26 or later for Apple Watch pairing requirements and appears on iOS 27 compatibility pages. Because the official technical specifications page for iPhone 11 remains live, Apple continues to document the model rather than marking it as discontinued in the material retrieved today.
iPhone 11 release date and how it fits Apple's product lifecycle
The iPhone 11 was released in September 2019. Apple's typical product lifecycle includes a growth phase after launch, a maturity phase with periodic updates and price adjustments, and a decline phase that leads to discontinuation. The retrieved Apple support pages show the iPhone 11 still appears in current compatibility lists, including the iPhone models compatible with iOS 27 and the Apple Watch compatibility page stating "iPhone 11 or later" for certain watch models. These pages do not provide an end-of-sale or end-of-support date, so the iPhone 11's position in the lifecycle suggests it remains in active support without a documented termination point.
Is the iPhone 11 still supported in 2025?
Yes, the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max all appear in Apple's current compatibility documentation retrieved here. These are the specific models explicitly listed in compatibility documentation. The device remains supported for iOS 27, and the official specs page is still live, meaning Apple still documents the model. The iPhone 11 was discontinued in 2020 when Apple released the iPhone 12.
What to expect when Apple discontinues a model
When Apple discontinues a model, it typically stops manufacturing and selling the device through its own channels, but continues to provide software updates for several years afterward. This means even after an official discontinuation, the device still receives security patches and app compatibility updates. The iPhone 11 has not reached that documented stage in the retrieved materials.
