Wife has an iPhone 7. I'll upgrade hers to something this fall.
I'm on an XS Max and I'll be staying put probably until the 2022 iPhones with a battery replacement this fall.

Silver 256GB Xs/Lilac 64GB S9. I want an 11 for the camera but its not worth another 1k to get it.
Another ‘~$1000’?, who’s paying that price right now when you can find that phone for well under that with promotions/incentives? It’s not $1000, not when there’s plenty of lucrative deals out there right now.
I've had an 8+ since launch that I will replace when it dies. My wife has a SE with a cracked screen that started crapping out on her a few days ago. She's not interested in phones like people on this forum so I got her a refurbished 8 for $200 on Newegg the other day.
Maybe in the states, not everyone lives there. Its well over 1k here in Canada. The 11 starts at 979 here, the 11 pro starts at 1379, and the pro max starts at 1519. Add 13% tax and that’s a lot of money to pay for a 64gb phone. You can save a little bit by getting a certified preowned, but it’s not worth it yet. Mine is 256, 64 is pretty lame for the price. My last 2 phones were a 5S and 7 and they were both 32gb, even if I was coming from one of those I would question the price per gb.. They should make the 12 or whatever it will be with a minimum storage of 128 or 256.
I sorry, I should have consulted you before posting. I didn't realize your buying guide was required reading.
My wife is black widow of iPhones. She busted back of iPhone XS Max 256gb plus busted the front screen dislodge at same time. I handed down to her in October when i got iPhone 11 Pro Max. No insurance and $600 to replace at Apple store. But I’m gonna to get credit card to reimburse me the $600 under their cell phone warranty.
My pro 11 max 256gb has Apple care to end of November 2021. So i just gave her my pro max.
so I just downgraded back to iPhone XS Max. Gotta say this. The pro 11 max has been so glitchy since day 1. We all know how hot it gets and how unstable the camera is with 4gb ram 3 cameras. The pro 11 max is like the iPhone 6 plus. Glitchy ram issues from day one
in the 2 days I’ve been using the xs Max replacement Apple gave me. It’s super smooth. No issues. So besides the nicer camera and awesome battery life on pro 11 max. I really do not miss the pro 11 max at all. I’m happy back with the iPhone XS Max again

What glitches did you face on the 11PM? Mine had been great! Only issue was the Facebook app that was causing random heat up whenever I used it, so I deleted it and I am using Safari to access Facebook until they sort out their app.
I come from a XS Max which I absolutely enjoyed but I am very happy I got the chance to move to an 11 Pro Max, although the circumstances were not ideal.
Lol, 13% a lot? Here in the Netherlands that‘s 21% tax.
iPhone 11 64gb costs 1245 Canadian Dollars in The Netherlands
I’m on a every two year cycle so I won’t be getting an iPhone 12. I hand my phones down to my kids so I’m kind of stuck in the loop or I would probably hang onto it for three.
I’ll be honest, I’m sort of a tech nerd so I wouldn’t be able to hang onto it for more than three years anyway. When the kids move out someday I’ll probably get an exchange for new phone every year.

Purple 11. I love it. At this point I don't see what a new phone could do that my current couldn't. The 12 would have to be amazing for me to even consider upgrading.
Had an XS Max but just upgraded to 11 Pro last week. I'm considering returning it (once Apple stores reopen). My XS Max is fully unlocked, paid off and jailbroken. It's great. I only upgraded because I wanted a smaller device and while the Pro feels great in the hand not much else is different I don't think it's worth the cost. Will most likely wait for the 12.
Yes it's on 13.1. I know that can be jailbroken as well but not going to bother with it if I'm not keeping it.
11 Pro Max. 512
Upgrade this fall. Yearly upgrade for me. Next year it goes to a business partner, the next year it goes to one of the kids, the next year to the younger kids and so on until it's trashed.
10 lines on my phone plan and only 2 of us pay for the plan so only 2 of us get the choice of phone. If someone wants something different they buy it out of pocket or wait until next year.

So far I’m not too exited about the 12 pro max. I need to see something different to want to jump and drop the 1k on this. But will see. I am still liking my max and I fast charge a lot these days. Battery could be better but I have fast chargers everywhere in my house. Is really not a big deal to have less than great battery life.
Same but with Product Red. Apple sure does a great job of making it seem you need the latest iPhone though😉 . Every damn year.
