The iPhone 11, initially launched in fall 2019, experienced a historic price drop in Russia, sliding by 35 percent, as reported by Hi-Tech Mail.Ru. At its introduction, the phone was priced at about 60,000 rubles in the Russian market. By February 2023, its price on Yandex Market had fallen to just under 39,000 rubles, illustrating a steep depreciation over the model’s lifecycle.
From a technical perspective, the iPhone 11 marked a notable advance for Apple. It introduced a night mode camera to the lineup and added a 120-degree ultra-wide-angle sensor, expanding creative possibilities for photographers and videographers alike. The device features a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD IPS display, the Apple A13 Bionic chipset, and Face ID for biometric authentication, delivering a balanced mix of performance and convenience.
Despite nearing its fourth anniversary in September, Apple has continued to provide software updates for the iPhone 11. The phone shipped with iOS 13 and has since received updates up to the current iOS 16.x series, ensuring ongoing security and feature enhancements for users who remain within Apple’s ecosystem.
Earlier coverage from socialbites.ca attributed to the iPhone 11 a status as one of Russia’s most popular smartphones, noting usage by at least 1.6 million people by the end of 2022. This enduring popularity reflects strong brand appeal, broad developer support, and a preference for reliable hardware paired with Apple’s software ecosystem, even as newer models have entered the market.
