So I am on a pretty tight budget, but my 6s is really starting to get to me. The performance seems to be suffering just a bit too much at this point in life and I don't expect it to be compatible with next year's iOS. I have it in a battery case so throttling should not be the cause of performance issues.
I took a look at some specs, and I see that the 8+ approximately has a general benchmark of almost double my 6s, and after that the benchmark improvements are marginal. iOS Benchmarks - Geekbench Browser
I know there is more to a phone than benchmarks, but budget is a concern.
For cameras: I recently got an iPad Pro with the lasers
so I was thinking that would be my best camera in the house and for any future AR uses/experiments. But the 11 inch ipad is just a little too bulky to handle some things as well as a phone would.
I'm normally the type of person to get the super deluxe model, but I need to accept budget realities. I've never dealt with the uncertainty of a used phone before.
Screen size is an issue for me, as I find that it's getting harder and harder to press the right keys as I age. I also think I'm noticing that iOS 14 works better on the taller screen of my family's 12 Pro Max, I'm not sure how the scaling would turn out with the screen ratio of an 8 Plus.
(BTW: I have family with 8 Plus phones but they got a TON of money in trade in for them from their carriers.)
I appreciate input from the community and thank you in advance.
