13 is all bad luck for me. Im sticking with my X and its fresh new battery.
Keeping my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max - really an excellent device that doesn't need an upgrade at this point.
The only thing that would tempt me to update would be a high quality zoom. Like, REALLY high quality.
I can’t see any logical reason for me to not keep my iPhone 12 for another year? I think phones would get boring very quickly for me if I were changing them every year, not to mention a waste of money.
Exactly. I’m pretty confident the mini will live on as the next se. it only makes sense. Face ID tech will be cheaper. They have the design already. In two years I bet they’ll come out with it
Those stickers really work well! I like it.
I know I don't get it. I'm just glad I lost the mentality to upgrading after the XS max was minimal improvement and didn't change my use case from the 8plus. That changed it for me. I was upgrading yearly before that.
I hope we see some bargains. I am not sure if I will upgrade to the 13 mini day one. We have about 10 weeks or so before order day. Plenty of time to make a more informed decision.
Oh for sure right. I definitely want to buy a 13 sometime if rumors continue to indicate the 14 won't feature a mini. I'll just incase my mini in glass and display it 😁
Not upgrading this year will be a no brainer as I 1000% am sure that there will be no Rose Gold iPhone. That’s the only thing that would get me to upgrade. I’ll buy 2 new cases in September and change my jailbreak theme to feel like a new phone.
I normally upgrade every year to the flagship iPhone. But starting with the normal 6.1 iPhone 11 I haven given it more thought. If the 12 Mini wouldn't have been released, I think I would have stayed with the 11.
This year I will upgrade for sure , but not sure when exactly, because of only one simple reason. 13 Mini will be the last Mini for a long time. Normally I wouldn't have upgraded, only if TouchID would have been reintroduced. I love the 12 Mini and some better battery life and smaller notch and a bit better camera are no reason for me. But as said unfortunately the 13 Mini will be the last. So I will upgrade to it for sure because I want the latest Mini available if using it for a long time, don't know when I will upgrade though. Earlier if TouchID is included, later if not. Maybe next year then. It is not about the money itself though. This would never be a reason. But I think more about what I spent my money on, saving or upgrading to a not so different device...

I’m not sure. Honestly, phones these days in general day to day use, there’s no difference between say the Xr/11/12 besides maybe a speed increase (I realise there’s spec bumps and added features etc I’m just talking about average joe day to day usage).
I LOVED my blue Xr. The colour was just spot on for me.
The 12 is the first phone I’ve ever ordered without seeing first and I wish I had because while I love the shape, performance and features of the phone I really don’t like the blue. I’d have gone for the pro if I’d have seen them before hand.
I have friends with an Xr and some with an 11 and honestly they all perform just as well as each other. I’m not a spec nerd. The 12 does everything I could want and more.
Basically if there’s a colour I like in the 13 line up then I’ll upgrade. It’s really come down to that for me.

I tell myself every year I'm not going to upgrade and I was pretty set on waiting this year as the rumors are pointing to much bigger upgrades coming with the 2022 iPhone. As rumors and leaks have evolved it's come out that the major changes this year are going to be battery, screen and MagSafe related, which is going to make it really difficult to stick to my word (again).
I have just bought a M1 12.9" iPad and a 24" iMac so won't be changing phones, my 12 pro max is only 5 months old. All our phones will be off contract in September so not getting locked in again.
Normally around this time with the rumors swirling, I’m intrigued to upgrade, but not this year. This 12 Pro Max, is the best iPhone I’ve ever owned.

I upgrade every single year. It has become a tradition and a custom. Without any hesitation I will be upgrading to the latest and the greatest
Can you break down your user name into individual words? Just when I think it makes sense, it stops making sense.

We will see. Every year I’ve said I’m not upgrading this year and every year I upgrade lol
It’s become a tradition now. I’ve upgraded every year since 2014.
