Reply to Weekly What Should I Buy Thread and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator

Is it worth it to buy an iPhone 11 in 2023 or should I go for a newer model?

I think my phone is currently dying on me so I might have to buy a new one soon. I've always been an Android user but I want to switch it up and buy an iPhone. The iPhone 11 is more convenient financially speaking but I'm afraid it'll be "outdated" very soon.

Is it still considered a good buy? Or should I go for the 13 and splurge a little more? I'm planning to keep it for at least 3 years so I'm afraid the 11 will die on me sooner than I'd like to.

Reply to Cooling Phone with Water? by Thundering_Love786

The big thing is water resistance wears off over time. Apple doesn’t cover water damage even in the first year of the warranty. Apple doesn’t even claim it’s waterproof but claims water resistant. You can find tons of posts where people have gotten their device wet and now the camera doesn’t work or the display is discolored or it won’t turn on at all. For this reason, I never get my phone wet on purpose.

Reply to comment by AccordingDependent47 in 14 plus cannot take photos close up? Expected similar quality to XS max but at same distance (5”) photos insanely blurry… super frustrated, should/can I exchange from att for the pro max? :/ by PyxisNoir

At least on the Pro models, you can add a button to the camera UI to force macro mode. Makes it much easier.

Do the regular iPhones have that? (Settings > Camera > Macro Control).

Edit: The macro feature seems to be only on iPhone 13 and 14 Pro/Pro Max models.
