Same here. If I’d have gone with the pro max last year, I wouldn’t even be considering an upgrade this year. At least I feel like if I DO upgrade to the larger phone (either pro max or plus), and have USB-C, I would be able to skip a year or two. I’d definitely like to get on an every other year phone and every other year watch, so I was never doing both at the same time. I’m definitely not upgrading my watch, so I figure I may go ahead and do the phone since I’m on the fence anyway.
Honestly I really haven’t cared much about switching to USB-C, but it would simplify things to have one charger/cable combo that would work for all the devices around here.
