Yes, the same cable can be used. However, be warned that the charging speeds you'll get with the older iPhone 7 cable would be lesser compared to the one you can get with a cable meant specifically for iPhone 11.

This is because the iPhone 11 supports quick charge, which you will not be able to use unless you have a cable capable of delivering higher amperage to the device.

Therefore, I would recommend you go for a cable that is meant specifically for iPhone 11. These are selling for as low as $12. I personally use this one from Anker.

Hope this helps.

Hey arman153,


I understand you're wanting to know if you can use the same cable from an iPhone 7 for your iPhone 11 Pro. I'll be happy to help.


Both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 11 Pro have a Lightning port, so the iPhone 11 Pro can be used the way that the iPhone 7 did to connect to the car via USB. You can compare the models of these two iPhone devices, and the ports they have, by using this resource: iPhone - Compare Models - Apple.


Cheers!
