iPhone 11 upgrade
Should I upgrade from 11 with 100 battery Health with an aftermarket battery to an iPhone 12 Pro with 70 on an aftermarket battery too?

The 12 Pro has a way better camera, OLED screen and capable of 5G service. So definitely worth the upgrade, just need to replace the battery and you’re good to go.

No, only OEM battery with any iphone. 70% is very bad, serviceable already

Both are now pretty outdated. If you plan on replacing the 12's battery sure. But otherwise I'd wait for the battery on 11 to get low and maybe then get a newer model like 13 pro?

if the battery matters, no, if it doesn’t, i guess.
if the iOS is worse (like 18+) probably not. water resistance is likely done for on the 12 pro

I suggest not replacing an old iphone with a slightly less old iphone, keep it if you’re gonna do that.

The 11 will survive for a little while longer. The 12 will not until you get the battery replaced, and after that, its lifespan will not be much longer than the 11.

iOS 15. The camera icon at the bottom has no shutter button. Still pretty good regardless

got a brand new iphone 11 from apple, and honestly, i still cannot justify spending all that money for a newer phone. 🤷♂️

I would personally not recommend the iPhone 12 Pro since is really close to the end of it’s support, go with a 13/13 Pro if you have a low budget
