How are would you make any poll unbiased ? Polls themselves are biased in nature perhaps .

"I don't plan to upgrade" would help and would reflect some of the the comments made on the thread.
But you are correct, such opt-in polls do have an inevitable (self-)selection bias.

Ta. I'm not finding that on my 12Pro, but perhaps I'm less demanding of it in terms of my use.
I'll get update to the 14 series if there's a 14 mini but it seems like they don't so I'll happily keep using my 12 mini.
I think I'll probably get a 14 Pro this year to replace my 12 pro. The pro-motion, always on display and better cameras are enough of an upgrade for me. I was hoping the 14 pro would get the rumored satellite connection for emergency texts/calls but that rumor seems to have faded.
So I'm not the only one seeing the battery health drop fast enough the first year to think they would get a "free" replacement under AC? Down to 89%. Then has stayed there since last fall. Luckily, I have a charging pad at work, I plug it in in the car, so I'm fine with the battery. And for vacations I have the magsafe battery.
I went to Apple to get a new battery on Monday. They scratched my phone in the process and they ended up giving me a new phone.
Will be going from my 12 Pro Max to a 14 Pro Max hopefully.
Have saved the money to buy outright, and to be honest, I just don't want to wait another whole year to have a new handset to play with.
I did the same thing and even saved an extra $100 in case they increase the price.
I have noticed since upgrading my iPhone every 2 years since 2014 , that batteries due degrade over time due to normal wear and tear also especially if the cycle count is higher than normally use . Screen brightness and optimized battery charging turned off can also reduce the life of your battery .
Having given the iP14 a pass, my iP12P is now fully paid for (at what must rate as a good discount over the 24 months, especially given inflation). I do still occasionally wonder how much better the iP14 would be, both in terms of battery life and photographic capabilities.
(I'm now back down to a SIM-only small data allowance contract.)
I'll be waiting on the release of the iP15 before taking any decisions as battery health on the iP12P is still 86% and the installation of iOS 16.2 went OK. Then it all depends upon the specs, price and 24 month deals for the iP15. There are limits to what I need - and even want - from those specs for an iPhone, and the price is almost bound to be high.
If the price & therefore vfm is right in 2023 after the release of the iP15,I might even get me an iP14P
PS When a friend was needing to upgrade from a very much older small form iPhone - it was an iP6, so a much needed upgrade - I recommended the iP13 and iP13mini as from a vfm standpoint. Thus far, the feedback had been positive on that buy.

I’m going to keep my 12 Pro Max until there are new features that I will actually use, the 120hz refresh rate seems nice but it’s not a game changer. There are rumors that the iPhone 15 will have dynamic island and 120hz, that happens I might upgrade.
I ultimately chose to replace the battery in my 12 pro. And wow. Whilst the battery life (Hours) is not extraordinary (Traditional 1 day per charge), we are four months in now and it has 100% health. Out of the box my original battery was on 98, and this new one feels like it lasts longer than my original ever did. Perhaps they are replacing them with the superior 13 batteries?
Anyway, my point is that if you're still holding on to a 12 series that has poor battery life; but want to wait before upgrading it, consider a battery replacement as they seem to be better quality now than the original ones.
