Apple's products may not always offer the best bang for your buck — the company still sells an iPhone with a 60Hz display for $700, for example — but they often make up for it with meticulously designed hardware and well-thought-out ecosystem features. iPhones also tend to last a long time, with Apple's commitment to long-term software support a major factor. Take the iPhone 11, for instance. Released in 2019, it can still run the latest version of iOS more than seven years later. If you're rocking a similarly aged iPhone and want to check the OS version you're running, open Settings and navigate to General > About > iOS Version.
