iPhone 17 Replace iPhone 15 Pro with 17 base?

[Andy_2341]

Ignoring the finances, as I can't be arsed to calculate them 😁 (I just buy my phones outright.)

I upgraded from the base 11 to the base 17. Great upgrade!

From a 15 Pro? I wouldn't bother.

That’s where I aspire to be. My next iPhone, whether it’s a 20th aniversary or a different model, will be purchased outright.

I buy mine outright as I'm not a huge user, so get a cheap mobile plan.

My partner uses their phone loads when out and about, so gets a more expensive plan and then gets a deal with a phone.

So it really depends on your providers and their prices/offers. Usually, it's cheapest to buy outright, but if you don't have the cash immediately to hand, then the monthly contracts are fine.
