OnePlus 11R 5G
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until February 2027 · Buy-by February 2025
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).

TrueCost
Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
188% above the $300–600 median ($12.54/mo, dying phones excluded)
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
