I have the 13 pro. I used to upgrade every 2 years since the iPhone 3GS. I think I’m going to skip this one and see what the iPhone 16 brings. I just don’t see enough of an update to justify the cost.
Upgrading from my 13 PM to a 15 PM. My bi annual upgrade. Skipped the 14 but really want the satellite SOS for my family. There’s been a few times over the last 2 years when we were out of cell service range and I was slightly anxious. If a minor upgrade can address that then it’s time.
Same. I was tempted cause the USB-C port, but I will wait too til 16 (hoping we get the camera behind the display feature)
The main purposeni see people upgrading is if youre trying to reduce the number of chargers you carry around to 1, if youre a person who carries other devices like a macbook (and choose to charge over usb c instead of magsafe) or other devices like handheld gaming and such. Else. Smartphones in general have gotten to the point where people are only upgrading to fix a bad battery.
