I went through a phase of swapping phones within a year. I had the iPhone 12 PM, then the 13 PM, then the 14 PM, and then back to the 13 PM. I switched every three months. I know it was stupid to switch phones within a year, but I just wanted to try it. Finally, I ended up getting a 14 Pro with 256 GB. One thing I realized is that because of iOS, iPhones will feel the same. The most important things for me are the screen refresh rate, storage, camera, and size. I used to have the Max phones, but they were just too big for me. Now, I am back to the regular Pro, which I still think is big compared to my old XS, but at least it's more usable than the Max versions. I will stick with the 14 Pro until it dies.

Upgraded from a 11 Pro Max 64gb to a iPhone 14 Pro 256gb mainly because of updated 5G/LTE modems (constant dropped calls in my area) battery life, storage, and better display. Purposely didn’t get Pro Max because of screen size and ever since I have drastically decreased on-screen time and scrolling.

Well, I just got the 15 Pro because I wanted better camera and macro, it is not my main phone as that still belongs to my 13 mini which to me is the perfect size iphone and cameras are excellent for regular usage but wanted a macro again the the 15 Pro with titanium and size wise yet bigger was not overwhelming like the prior 11 Pro Max I had before the 13 Mini, just to large and heavy for me, sticking with 13 Mini and 15 Pro for now, I do hope they eventually release a Iphone flip version to consider next time around.

In my opinion it was worth it for me to get the 15 Pro-Max from a Regular-Model iPhone 13 with 6.1inch display! It’s more comfortable to hold (caseless) thanks to the slightly rounded-off corners than my older one was, I can now take up some Macro-Photography and I like the larger display for watching KZfaq. I have the Pro-Motion display now that my 12.9 iPad Pro has and thanks to its USB-C port I can plug in a hub for my Modal-Electronics Cobalt5S Synthesizer, that has a Free App & VST Plugin for building sounds & patches.

On a serious note, any iPhone from the 12 and up it’s still a good pick, there’s a lot of repair shops that replace the battery for cheap, IF the battery is the problem, cause usually it’s only a faulty battery’s fault for the processor underperforming on 2+ year devices…

I had the iPhone 12 Pro since it launched back in 2020, the battery was starting to show its age. I ended up upgrading to the iPhone 15. I chose not to go with a pro model this time just because of the weight of the phone, also I felt like I never took advantage of the 3 camera lenses and all. Im good with just 2 camera lenses.

I’ve upgraded yearly from the 12 to the 15 pro. In all honesty, it wasn’t worth it. I wish I would’ve just kept my 13 pro as it didn’t get much better after that. The 15 pro feels perfect to me though. I switched because of the reduced weight from the 14 and now I feel content. My goal is to hang onto this one for a while, at least 3 years, like I should have done with the 13 pro 😂 I miss that phone sometimes.

Im keeping my iphone 13 pro max for 2 more years. The dynamic island is lower than the notch so distracting and it gets to much bigger i really dont have any use for it. I have to bring a Lightning cable anyway cause of my airpods pro and ipod touch 5g (yes, im still using it) so the usb-c option is not a must have for me (i also have an android phone as second device. Always on display is something i cant stand and as an old android user i tried it for like 2 days and turned it off since then. The action button is so useless to me as it takes away the usability of having a faster way to switch your iphone to silent mode (even if you set it up as silence mode it will be not as fast as the switch). I wait until they bring better and more useful features to upgrade my phone.

I was going to upgrade my 13 PM to 15 PM, but after careful considerations, I don’t think that there are plenty of new features that I will be benefitting from. The BH is still fantastic for my daily usage at 85%, and I can replace it whenever I want to. The only thing that still irks me is the lightning port, since most of my devices are using USB-C cable, as you said, and thankfully I am not going deep into the Apple ecosystem.

the 6.1" size is perfect for me. I compared the 15 to 15pro and most of the features are the same. The extras on the pro is overkill for my use. So a few days ago i traded my 13 in for a 15. The main reason i upgraded was for the better camera. The 15 megapixel count is 4x what the 13 is. I have a huge Apple Music collection so i always get the 512g storage upgrade.

Nice! What color 15 did you go with? I loved that sky blue color on it, looks amazing.

I have a 12 pro with AppleCare. My battery health is at 80%. Once it hits below that, I plan to get a battery replacement and will stay with the 12 pro until its outdated.

Heh, im still rocking my Iphone 11 Pro Max I bought when it first came out. Battery is a bit tired, but it still works for my needs. Hopefully I can get another year out of it before I need to upgrade.

My carrier is willing to give ma a 15 pro for my 13 pro max. So i would upgrade BUT… my 13 pro max has not been slowing down and still last almost all day. Like you said USBC is the reason I would upgrade especially to take advantage of all the fun stuff for USBC like infinityx2p or external storage or the 1 cable for everything.

So that’s one of those cases where I think it’s worth upgrading, that was my exact case and I went for it. If you upgrade what color 15 pro do you think you’ll go with?

The notch is ugly but the Dynamic Island is more annoying because it catches the screen lower down.
