Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the 11T should be supported until around September 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -0.7 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Xiaomi 11T get updates?

Its support has ended. The 11T received about three Android upgrades and roughly four years of security patches, which expired around late 2025. No new patches are expected.

Why is it called '11T' and not 'Mi 11T'?

Xiaomi dropped the 'Mi' prefix from its branding in 2021, so this model launched simply as the Xiaomi 11T even though it sits in the same family as the Mi 11 series.

Does the Xiaomi 11T have wireless charging?

No. It offers fast 67W wired charging but no wireless charging, a common trade-off in this mid-flagship tier.
