That said, I’m thinking more in lines of keeping a phone much longer than before. Which makes me more inclined to buy the top of the line to make it last as long as possible, with as much storage as possible…. Kind of a paradox isn’t it. So with that thinking, let’s say you can have a iPhone at least 5 years, and you should have a cost of max £300 a year, gives £1500 max. But that’s a 5 year investment then! How many of us can start having a phone 5 years…
My launch day purchased iPhone X (256GB) is only a couple months shy of its six year anniversary. And even though I am presuming the iPhone 15 will have enough to entice me, there’s no lack of functionality of my X that forces me to replace it yet.
 
Not much of a limit. I’ll sell my 14 PM which will defray most of the cost. After that, it comes out to maybe $1 a day or so which is well worth the price considering how much I use my phone for everything these days. (photos, entertainment, etc)
 
Indeed 1000 bucks iphone x was not as offending to people like 1200-1300 pro max. That is why we went 8 plus that year. Right now, dollar lost that much of a value that you end up paying X prices for 15 Pro max.

I really don’t know. I don’t spend on anything else fun and I am old enough that buying an expensive smartphone is my idea of a wild time. 🤣
 
It depends on what new features exist. Therefore the question cannot be answered until 9/12. Due to vision changes I am moving to the Max size, but I could go with a 14 Pro Max if the 15 price went way up.

But TBH odds are that I will buy a 15 Pro Max no matter what the price is.
LOL. Me too.

What are you upgrading from, if I may ask?
