Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the 11R 5G should be supported until around February 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.7 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Our verdict

A near-flagship for the price, bringing the alert slider back and pairing last year's top chip with 100W charging.

Pros

  • Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offers flagship-class performance
  • 100W charging and a large 5000mAh battery
  • Alert slider returns after the 10T dropped it

Cons

  • Plastic frame and no IP rating
  • Weak ultra-wide and filler macro sensor
  • Not sold in the US
Best for: Indian-market buyers wanting flagship speed for lessBest for: Battery-life seekers who also want fast chargingAvoid if: You need a US-sold device with full warrantyAvoid if: You want premium build or strong cameras

Frequently asked questions

How long will the OnePlus 11R 5G get updates?
