Vivo iQOO 11
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until January 2028 · Buy-by January 2026
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~5-year update track record — on that basis the iQOO 11 should be supported until around January 2028. Buying it today still gets you about 1.6 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
