I try and keep my phones for as long as I can unless I either have issues with them or the upgrade is a total overhaul worth the upgrade.
OG-3G was because I had a jailbroken US import original and the inclusion of 3G was worth it.
3G-4 was because the 4 was a complete game changer with its design/camera/speed
4-4S was because I dropped the 4 and damaged the WiFi antenna meaning I had to be sat on top of the router for it to work.
4S-6 4S battery was old and tired and would randomly turn off when it got below 50% and the 6 was a full on new design worth upgrading too.
6-6S+ Bendgate.
6S+ - X The 6S+ was having issues and I lost my temper with it and smashed it (a poor decision that I instantly regretted)
X-XR PWM OLED headaches.
XR-11 iOS13 induced signal issues on the o2 network only acknowledged by Apple & o2 and fixed with a software update 5 months after I upgraded, XR sold to my friend and he loves it.
11-12 Pro Max Again signal issues with the o2 network, their transmitters don’t seem to play well with intel modem iPhones also battery dropped to 85% capacity very quickly and wasn’t lasting as long (Pre 14.5 recalibration) still own this phone as a backup to the 12 Pro Max if the PWM headaches come back but for now with the accessibility options I seem to have got the screen setup to the point where it’s just a mild irritation after a long usage period. Qualcomm modem absolutely wipes the floor with the intel modem in the 11 signal is stronger and faster everywhere so far.
