I am doing it myself, it's time next year. Besides 2024 It's an Apple watch and iPad upgrade season. I like the possibilities of what is being done in the future of IOS etc. No need to upgrade this year.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe you wanna give that phone to your kid/friend/cousin and they'll be good for 2 years or more and you get the new one? I almost never sell me used phone, I just give it away to people I care for or sell it for cheap.
What ever the brightness is in warm/hot weather it will dim the screen and you cannot see anything.
I was considering it but my kids are 12 and 13 and I ain't poisoning their brains with devices.
When they are 16 then I will look into it.
You do realise that the SE you are waiting for is the exact same size as the iPhones that have been released for the past 5 years right?
Wait.Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on 15 Pro now or wait for 16. Currently using an iPhone XR
Then I can relax and wait for 18 with my 12.Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on 15 Pro now or wait for 16. Currently using an iPhone XR
they should make a phone smaller than the mini. like the size of the task switcher. or 3 icons wide. a 8210 sized iphone would be awesome.
Just reading this list blows me away at what they can fit in such a small rectangle. It's amazing how far tech has come in the last 20 years, mind blowing.
Normally I would be sticking with my 14 pro max for 2-3 more years, but my wife has an iPhone X that has become barely usable. I may use it as a good excuse to hand over my 14pro max to her and get a brand new 16pro max
Seriously. Again only camera and processor upgrade. Nothing special. There is no wow factor since FaceID
The two year cycle justification always brings a smile to my face.
“Oh look honey our two year cycle is here and we have to buy new phones. The kids will have to do without back to school clothes and dental work but what can be done? It’s the cycle.”
totally agree, I'm one of those upgrading every 5-6 years, we however have to see how the AI is going to fit into iOS, it might be the next interesting "wow" thing
Next they will compare the first iPhone to the iPhone 16. 1 million upgrades (in the voice of Dr. Evil). 🤣
Well, it's good to know that someone on this board has the inside information to determine that.
I've seen it. But I prefer the phone in a pocket instead. It prevents me from looking at the phone while riding, which is about the most dangerous thing a road cyclist can do. If I get a ring, I pull over before looking at it.
I admit I laughed hard at this:
I never considered doing surgery on anyone with my phone before, but I never expected I could one day send it in deep space.
I waited 5 years to get a 15 Pro max. I think I can wait 5 more years for the next upgrade... unless I get abducted by aliens. Then surgery and aerospace grade stuff might come in handy, but I think I might have other issues at this point.

Only new feature I am interested is the USB-C. Most likely I am going to keep the 13 Pro and hope that iOS18 fixes my boredom of iPhones.
Aerospace Grade Titanium Chassis is what makes the upgrade worth it alone.
Now I don't have to leave my phone at home when I do my regular Tuesday space-walks on the International Space Station

I came from 12 Pro Max to 15 Pro Max and I am not seeing anything that is greatly improved. 12PM Pictures were as great as 15PM which I can compare it even now in my Photos App. Actually, my iPhone 3GS (3 MP shooter) took pictures in December 2010 still looking great in my Photos album and I still use it for my various Social Media profile pictures. iPhone cameras are excellent irrespective of the edition or version you have. Don’t fall for the Camera upgrade slogans.
