You’re making me hungry. 😂
Almost bedtime over here lol.
A double big mac with extra mac sauce would go down well right about now. 🤔
With my most recent purchase of the 13 Pro, it was mainly the camera system. My phone is the only camera I have and I like it to be able to shoot reasonably nice photos.
But the other improvements were nice as well, like getting a fresh battery and the 120 Hz screen.

Where they kosher? 🤔
Had them here as well, it's like your eating dry cardboard, had to add tomato and extra sauce.
For I think only the 2nd time, I upgraded to the 13PM from the prior years 12PM. Normally I would wait at least 2 years but this year, the Apple trade in plus a bit back from my carrier let me up grade for only $100 extra. Plus the 13PM had the better screen, 120hz refresh, Promotion video and better overall camera all of which I am enjoying. I am happy to say that the 13PM is the best iPhone I have had so far and I started with the original.
I’d had my iPhone 7 since launch, and it was getting a bit wonky. Battery health was down to 80%, there was some wear on the screen, and it had restarted a few times just out of nowhere, so I thought it was time to replace it. I was also really looking forward to Face ID and the Pro camera’s, which put me over the edge of replacing now versus in a year’s time.
I went other.
I get bored way too fast with phones. Went 12 Mini from 12 Pro last time, pretty sure I will get a 14 Max (if its a thing)

This. Where is the "it's a new year" choice for iPhone Upgrade Program members?
Doesn't the Mini feel rather small in the hand?
Am thinking of going from a 12 Pro Max, to a 13 Pro...
In my case it was due to the fact my old 6s wouldn’t last a day on a charge, even with a brand new battery (so it wasn’t really a worn out battery).
I was pretty happy with it apart from the battery, so i had to upgrade (heck, for my use case, the speed difference between the 6s and the 13 is noticeable but not worth the upgrade alone). My current 13 is great, but I don’t love it as much as I did my trusty 6s, which is now enjoying its retirement in a drawer!
I know I could have gotten an SE, but reading the comments about its crappy battery life didn’t inspire much confidence in the long run, as I like to keep my devices for a loooong time.

Went from 12 mini to 13 pro mainly due to three things: the battery of the 12 mini just did not last long enough for me, i missed having a telephoto lens, and i wanted to see what 120hz was all about 
If I could have a mini-size iPhone with good battery, three cameras, and promotion, i would get that one!

Honestly, FOMO and impulsivity. lol. There was nothing wrong at all with my 8+, I was just bored and wanted something new. I discovered I absolutely hate Face ID though, after cycling through 4 different phones thinking the next one would work better. Nope. Maybe I'm just that hideous but it fails on me probably a good 50% of the time no matter how much I tweak the settings or re-register my face. Picked up a 256gb 8+ from the Apple refurbished store and am kicking myself for spending so much money 😣
SE2022: My (emergency-purchased) 2020 SE was black 64GB, and the battery's down to 85%. I wanted more storage and white so just ordered the Starlight 128GB. I'm hooked on TouchID/home button so no other models are an option for me.
I considered the 256GB but I figure if I haven't filled 64GB in 6 years (carried over from my original SE) I should be good with 128, esp. if I actually delete things occasionally!

Psychology and human nature, that is how Apple is making the big money. It's so hard to stop yourself buying the new shiny thing available.
