The better question is why wouldn’t you? Unless you have the Pro. Because if you’re a professional smartphone user you may have a business need
I always say I won't upgrade, but then I talk myself into it. Then a month later (after the return period) have buyers remorse.
Maybe I won't upgrade this year.
Or maybe I will.

keeping my 13 pro - only half way into my contract so it'll end on the 15 release .....
…..and going from a 13 Pro to a 15, will be a bigger upgrade vs 13 Pro to 14 (I‘m in the same position).
Planning to keep my 13 Pro for another long while I hope. I sell phones at work so it‘s always tempting to upgrade. That said I did stop myself from going from the 11 Pro to the 12 Pro (probably because the only meaningful upgrade to me was the design and after 10 minutes that wouldn’t matter much). Ideally I’d like to keep this phone for 3-5 years because I’ve never tested how long I could keep an iPhone for since I get tempted by new shiny things haha.
I’m gonna order a 14 Pro Max coming from 13 Pro. Hope I can get used to that size again. Pro is easy to pocket.
But I like new devices. And keynote usually sucks me in anyway 😝

I am sticking with my 11, yet to find a reason to upgrade.
Will hold on to this baby till Late Fall 2025, iPhone Pro 13 Pro Max is a keeper and all I need iPhone wise especially since it’s 512GB which warrants keeping your Apple device longer; can’t say same for other tech products.
Plus I have dropped this heavy phone tons of times with a simple basic thin spigen rubberized case and no screen protector and it has not one time scratched or cracked, the screen is flawless unless seated next to a current Samsung device.

What will the iPhone 14 offer for business users that can’t be done on a 12 or 13? Lots of people in business use older iPhones for instance. Most if the account managers in my company are using iPhone 11’s and 12’s and I’ve not heard of any hindrances from doing so.
I'm on an iPhone x - battery health at 81% . I'm on my second iPhone X given through insurance in 2020. It's chugging but i'm going to try and hold out for the 15. Given it will potentially have USB-C, periscope camera etc.
What's this about the foldable Iphone in 2025?

The "Pro" marketing hook seems to be working...
Working with who? The Pro models have always sold less than the standard mainstream iPhones. Of course they sell well, but their market is much smaller and the definition of Pro is a marketing angle, not determined by those who buy them.
I actually think Apple’s better about it being Pro than say the pixel or other ”Pro“ phones. They have better cameras (like most Pro phones) but they also have Pro Res and Pro Raw which are professional features imo. I agree it’s a bigger profit incentive for Apple but I also think it’s a rare instance where pro actually means something.
Hanging onto a 13? Holy crap I'm still using my 11 Pro Max and have zero complaints. The phone is still perfect.
The only thing to really gain for me in moving to a 14 would be the improved camera, and the camera on the 11 Pro Max is great. 5G isn't really better than LTE around here.

No you need to update to the 14pm it’s gonna be the best iPhone ever 😎😎
Look apple wants you to upgrade. There will be carrier promotions theyll pay your 13 pm off blah blah keep you with them for 24+ months it will be good . Just upgradeI'm also 100% keeping my iPhone 13 Pro this year.
Apple have reached the pinnacle in iPhone design so I really can't be doing with the whole upgrade process this year JUST for a better camera or any other incremental changes they may make.
Add the fact that my 13 Pro has literally sat on my desk this past year (whilst working from home) - there really is no incentive for me to upgrade.
Yes yes this is what apple wants oh yes 🤣😂
Twenty nine years same cell number, twenty three years with Verizon, was on Android since the beginning… traded the POS Pixel 6Pro for a 13 Pro Max in February, enjoying the phone, absolutely no reason to jump to the 14 Pro Max!
The notchless iPhone is going to start around $1000. Screw that. I can a year or 2. I rather spend my money on musical instruments/gadgets.
The next real incentive for me to change phone will be a significant form factor change, I don't mean whether a notch is there or anything, but size and shape.
Or features that only the latest model that is a revelation.
