If youre play game everyday. Dont buy iphone 11 /pro /pro max series. My iPhone 11 pro max with 256Gb keep crashing while playing Marvel Future fight. I play only one game and my storage has plenty space left. I close all app in the background but it still kiciking me out while play a game. The worst ever, fancy iphone dont hold up to current game, you can search the net its not only 11 series even 14 series with newer chipset still facing the same issue… iphone no more, disappointed
