11 Pro battery life isnt doing so well these days + the 64GB storage is full and I keep getting annoying notifications about it. I'm debating whether I should get a 12 pro now to hold me over until the 13 or just wait 4 more months. I have quite a bit of apple cash rewards + 500 trade in i can put towards a new phone

Out of interest why?
It’s my favorite product in this world. I upgrade every year. Proud owner of an iPhone. Been upgrading since 2008. I couldn't order the first iPhone back in 2007 because I was in High school and I was too broke. Couldn't afford it. The first purchase was made in 2008 at an AT&T (Cingular store) which was the black iPhone 3G. I fell in love...

I made a promise to myself… I will upgrade until I die or until Apple stops making them... 😆

Believe it or not, it is the best product in this world. It has enriched so many lives around this world. Plus, It's Apple #1 $$$ making product. You can go anywhere in this globe... you will find a presence of an iPhone.

Hoping to see you on a pre-order night for iPhone 12s. Less than 3 months left.

The anticipation has been slowly building up...

Didn't really get into the whole Apple thing until 2014 a new iPhone 6 was my first.

Five years later in August 2019 having had a battery replacement I went for a good used iPhone 6s and only looked at a change when I thought the latest software would not be supported in 2020. Little did I know!

In September 2020 bumped up to a new / old iPhone 8. It was new and sealed but the battery had degraded as it sat on a shelf somewhere for almost three years unopened. It wasn't a fake phone, checked it all out with Apple as genuine. My mother has it now as an occasional phone when out driving her car. She never ever uses it anyway having never broken down.

So just took the plunge for a new 2020 iPhone SE (yea I like a small form factor and home button that's just me).

That is seven years and four phones with the latest being good for at least another five years maybe with a battery replacement. Of course if Apple brings out yet another small form factor phone with a home button I might be persuaded to upgrade earlier.
