Depends on who you read.
No, probably won't upgrade. Too much of an S-year.
iPhone 16 Pro/Max will get a larger display, but not the under display Face ID. What I really want is a folding iPhone though.

That’s just an article speculating though that it could come with iPhone 16 though.
The original rumor that the iPhone 16 would have under-display FaceID came from Ross Young (one of the most credible Apple leakers and specifically a display analyst) in 2022. But he updated his roadmap earlier this year to push the under-display FaceID back to the iPhone 17: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/03/under-display-face-id-to-debut-on-iphone-17-pro/
I mean, either rumor could be wrong, which is why it’s a rumor. But I just didn’t want you to bank on upgrading next year due to the under display FaceID if it really doesn’t come then. In my opinion, Apple is more likely to get people to upgrade more frequently if it can split the features up (larger displays, under-display FaceID) between two separate model years anyways.
Upgrading five phones from iPhone 11. Unsure if we all get base 15 or what; we will see. Love my green 11 but it's certainly aging. At the very least it needs a new battery. Most excited for usbc. Been a long time coming.
If the rumors are accurate, the pro will be a minor update. I have been very happy with my 14 pro. I probably won’t upgrade.
I’m not banking on it.
Two things: Cook may soon be gone as CEO. Innovation may be back quicker than you think. Think foldable in three years. The under screen face ID therefore has to be pushed out fast!
Nope I’m getting the galaxy zfold5. I’ll be back though but when finally ups the battery life on the watch which seems like it’ll be never cause they’ve had 9 years to do it.
I’ve seen the galaxy fold and I don’t like it. You probably won’t either. There is always a crease (indentation) on the screen that will always be there where the unit folds. It’s a distraction. The screen doesn’t open and lay flat without a crease. So expect the folding iPhone (if one gets announced) to also have a crease where the screen folds right down the middle. If opened in very cold weather, it will most likely crack, I read that somewhere as described in a news article regarding one of the galaxy folding phones. Hopefully apple won’t develop one, I know some want one, but y’all are in the minority. The folding phones are twice as thick and twice as heavy, and we know by reading these threads that so many complain about how heavy the existing iPhones are. Just imagine that ten fold.
No. Unless something happens to my 12 pro. if the 15 series had sims like the 13 probably
If it has a feature I want/need, then I’ll upgrade to it. Otherwise, I’m perfectly happy with my 14 Pro. One of the main reasons I still don’t have my 12 mini was because the screen was just too small for my eyes, too much strain in them.
Just like you, I am waiting for a good feature for the iPhone 15 Pro that would convince me to upgrade from my iPhone 13 Pro. It also depends on the specifications of the iPhone 15 Pro and lastly, if some features or specs will be exclusively available on the 15 Pro Max then I will be waiting for another year. For me, the size of the iPhone 13 Pro, 14 Pro is good enough. The iPhone 15 Pro shouldn't be bigger than the iPhone 13, 14 Pro.

Nope. My 11 Pro Max is still fine, although will see what happens when the 16 comes out, and maybe pick up a refurbed 14 or 15 PM then, mainly for the camera resolution bump. Would love to lose the lightning cable but I usually charge wirelessly, so not really a big deal.
I’m on the fence now. At first I was going to upgrade every 2 years, but every time we get close to September, I always end up undecided. Now I’m going to wait for the keynote and decide from there.
I’ve been to those keynote live events and after all the bitching about lack of innovation - people upgrade anyway.
Well, maybe not the Apple Watch before the ultra. 🤣
Changes may be coming to Apple soon, and the silence, but not objection to change, is very telling… 😁
13pro max did not give me a pwm headache hopefully not stuck with this phone forever
Nope. My 14 pro 256gb is only 5 months old and I got it for $1KAUD new, retail here is $1899AUD.
Had the 12 and 13 max before and not interested in going that size again.
I use magsafe at home/office and Brodit magsafe car holder with wireless CarPlay.
Couldn't care less about usb-c.

I don't think I'll upgrade, I am usually upgrading on a two years cycle and I got the 14PM last year. Also, the only feature I'm really excited about is the USB-C port, but this feature alone is not enough to upgrade this year.
iPhones are getting too big for my tastes. I'm currently using an iPhone 13 mini and will only upgrade if there's a new mini or other device that is suitable to comfortable one-handed operation.
please tell how does a usb-c port get you excited?
