iPhone 11 specs that still hold up
Years after launch the iPhone 11 remains a genuinely usable phone, which is why it stays popular second-hand.
- ✓A13 Bionic chip — still quick for everyday apps, social media and most games, and comfortably runs current supported iOS.
- ✓Great battery life — the iPhone 11 was known for strong battery life, so a healthy unit easily lasts a full day.
- ✓Dual 12MP cameras — a reliable wide + ultra-wide system with Night mode that still takes good photos.
- ✓6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD display — bright and sharp for daily use, though not OLED.
- ✓Storage — 64GB, 128GB and 256GB; 64GB fills up fast, so pick more if you keep lots of photos and videos.
Fair used iPhone 11 price guidance in Faisalabad
There is no single fixed price — it depends on storage, PTA status, battery health and condition. As a rule of thumb, a PTA approved 64GB unit in clean condition with strong battery health sits at the top of the range, while non-PTA units, tired batteries or replaced parts sell for noticeably less. Compare several live listings on Mehfoz, factor in battery health and any PTA tax, and you will quickly see what a fair deal looks like for the exact spec you want.
What to check on a used iPhone 11
A few specific checks separate a great buy from a costly one — spend a few minutes on these before any money changes hands.
- ✓Battery health — Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging. Below roughly 80% expect a replacement soon and price accordingly.
- ✓Face ID — test that it sets up and unlocks reliably; a faulty Face ID is expensive and often not worth repairing on this model.
- ✓True Tone — if it is missing from Display settings, the screen may have been replaced with a non-genuine panel.
- ✓IMEI and PTA status — dial *#06#, then check the IMEI via 8484 or the DIRBS portal to confirm approved or non-PTA.
- ✓iCloud / Activation Lock — make sure it is signed out of the previous Apple ID with Find My off, or the phone is unusable.
PTA vs non-PTA iPhone 11
You will see both PTA approved and non-PTA iPhone 11 units in Faisalabad, often at quite different prices. A PTA approved unit works on Jazz, Zong, Telenor and Ufone with no SIM block and is easier to resell. A non-PTA unit is cheaper up front but needs DIRBS tax to stay usable on your SIM beyond the grace period — verify the IMEI on the official PTA DIRBS portal and add any likely tax to a non-PTA price before deciding which is genuinely cheaper.
iPhone 11 vs 11 Pro and XR
If you are weighing options, the standard iPhone 11 is the value sweet spot. The iPhone 11 Pro adds an OLED display and a third telephoto camera but costs more used and often has a smaller battery. The older iPhone XR is cheaper and shares the single-camera design with a similar screen. For most buyers in Faisalabad, the standard iPhone 11 offers the best balance of performance, battery and price.
