Three phones in my house.
My wife has an older SE. I have an SE I picked up on clearance a few months back. And for work I have a 7 I got this spring (replaced a 6 with battery issues). Also have an iPad Air2 for work - which makes a larger phone pretty much unnecessary.
Having both sizes, I am a total SE fan. Apple is missing the boat.
SE.
I’ll upgrade when Apple makes another SE-sized or 4s-sized phone. And at bare minimum it would need to have more storage, a better camera, and a new chip of course. It would also need to retain touch ID. And I would strongly prefer the same design.

I am not upgrading this year. At $1,349.00 for the iPhone XS 512GB model I’m going to do my best to hold on as long as I can.
iPhone X. Last year was the first year since the 3 that I did not upgrade every year. Will have to see what is released to justify with prices now.
iPhone 8+ not planing To buy new one until Apple get rid of the NOTCH so for now I bought the Samsong S10+ can't say that I love it as android but playing with it let see if I am going to love it.
i had the samsung S8 and it was too big for me so back here with iphone again i have the 7 and i’m very happy with my choice the only thing i would change to Ios is that i want widget and app drawer , i wanna be able to use bluetooth to share files with other phones and tablet and i wish i could change my ringtones no using itunes
This is probably the best place to ask about the dilemma I'm currently in.
I am using a 6 right now and was using a 6S until recently. I want to upgrade and I am conflicted between the 7 and 8. I am considering the 7 because of the price point and debating whether the 8 is worth the premium.
I was contemplating on the 7 Plus before, but the size of the phone is a deal-breaker for me. My 6S worked perfectly in every which way and the phone was not lacking in any department.
The pros I see in favour of 8 are primarily the camera and the better battery life. I don't think I'll ever end up using the wireless charging, so that doesn't add any value for me.
Any help would be much appreciated!

If you’re looking for a phone with a home button, I’d go with the 8. The processor is incredible and it will have an extra year of support over the 7 series. It also didn’t have some of the hardware problems the 7 did.
LOL. If I had the XS Max, I would probably keep it for at leas 5 year, not just 3.
Currently still on my launch 6s, still going strong. The only issue I have with it is its battery life. No way around such tiny battery. I will see how Apple price the iPhone 8 and the XR (or its successor) this coming September. Or I would just replace my 6s battery again.

Yup, the iPhone 8 seems like the most underrated iPhone ever, thanks to the X. The 8 is likely to be the next longevity model after the 5s since it’s the first iPhone with Apple’s custom GPU. Too bad Apple price it unattractively to push people getting the XR. I’m tempted to get the 8 Plus this coming September, depending how Apple would price it.
Xr 128gig and s 10 plus 512 gig. Love my setup and will keep it for sometime .
Just curious, what hardware issues did the iPhone 7 experience? I ask, because I didn’t experience any my 7 Plus. My 7 and work iPhone 8 have been flawless.
Currently have a XS Max and have no plans to upgrade for at least 3 years. The phone is very fast and smooth. I don’t see the need to upgrade at least for a couple of years. My previous phone before this one was the 6s plus.
Just want to know for those who upgrade every year or2, do you change your computer every years? At this point I just don’t understand why someone want a new phone so fast when current ones are overpowered and still will be very good years from now.

I like consumer tech, before my current X (phone number 27), I would change phones before owning it for a year just because I wanted something different (aesthetics, how I interact with it UI/UX and how it feels in hand), followed by performance and feature improvements. I switch back and forth to Android to see where its at but always come back to iPhones. Before the X I found more of a jump spec/performance wise and they were also cheaper. But now I don't see much of a reason to change until the phone starts to show its age. Nothing is really grabbing my attention aesthetic wise and UX on Android leaves me disappointed (last version used was Oreo).
My computers are normally high end builds which last me a while, the current is from 2013. I do how ever go through a bunch of peripherals to feed my need for wanting to change things up.
I’m on my 8 plus, I can’t say goodbye yet to the home button and or touch ID. I might upgrade next year if rumours where to come true about TOF in cameras and onscreen touchID with FaceID. No matter the price, I get it cheaper from my carrier. My monthly pay for my 8 plus would only cost me half the original price when I complete my contract.
There have been some problems with the audio IC chip on the logic board breaking causing the phone to not boot up or disable the microphones. I think it happens most often when the phone is stressed or flexed frequently. They called it “loop disease” at the time. There’s also a repair program for "No Service" issues.
I don't think three years is a stretch. I had my iPhone 4S (thought the 5 and 5S were hideous) and iPhone 6 Plus (6S and 7 were too derivative) for far longer. In fact, the only reason I upgraded from the 6 Plus at the time that I did was because I opted for the 16GB model, the rest of the hardware was still more than adequate for my needs. My iPhone X is still holding up very well, and I've used less than 100GB of its total space so far. So I'm planning to use it for another three years unless something revolutionary comes along.
