11 to 14 feels long enough, you've earned it. I went from a 7 Plus to a 12 Pro Max and I'm sticking with it until at least the 16, or whatever the equivalent of a 16 gets called. I might need to replace the battery in a year or two, but that's cheap enough.
I’ll have To see how groundbreaking 📱 14 is compared to iPhone xs Max to justify, especially how iPhone fills the niche iPad can’t or won’t do very well. After hearing USB-C rumour for iPhone 15 I’m hesitant.
Already upgraded from SE 2020 to SE 2022. Sadly, OLED PWM gives me migraines.
1st gen SE user here. Now that I know it's not getting iOS 16, I will probably upgrade to the 13 mini.
Work line just went from 11 to 13, I love the 13, perfect size and great camera. My personal line is still on a XS and I might finally go for a 14 when they drop.
I still have nine months of payment left on my 11 Pro Max (purchased, February 2021).
So no. No plans to upgrade.
Also, I want to wait until my carrier's 5G is as good as and reliable as LTE is right now.

I have an 11 Pro and I still don't see much of a reason to upgrade. I'm not tempted by 5G either as LTE is really solid in my area. As of now, I think I'll hold out until the 15, especially if the USB-C rumor is true.
I already went from SE2020 to SE2022. I like my new SE (the 2020 was fine, but it was my 'lockdown phone' and I was glad to pass it on to a family member). However, if Apple made a fancier phone with a home button I would be very interested...
I have no need to upgrade my SE 2020 to anything else. It still does everything I want it to do.
XR user here, I think I’ll see how my phone copes with iOS 16 and then consider whether I wanna upgrade to a 14 or 14 Max…
Yeah, I’m on 11 Pro Max and waiting patiently to get something new now 😁
I’m looking forward to the 14 Pro Max, although something tells me the 15 Pro Max would be the one to jump in for and just get a new battery for my current 11PM for now.
The way I am so happy with my 11 Pro Max, I’m not quite convinced I need to leave it just yet.
Anyway, I’m waiting to see what the 14 Pro Max brings before I make a final decision. Some things I am looking for in the 14 Pro Max is a big jump in Photography (quality and zoom), hoping to see 8GB RAM, also want to see a slightly bigger battery and possibly USB-C, which is what makes me think waiting for 15 Pro Max would make more sense, as I plan on keeping my iPhones longer and longer with each generation.
Another big factor going forward is AI chip, seems Apple is adding more and more features that are AI focused, once your iPhone starts being skipped on the big AI stuff that’s when you know it’s time to jump 🤣
The A13 chips still seems to be powerful enough to handle the iOS 16 stuff.

Oh man, you are definitely due for an upgrade. Don’t even have second thoughts about it.
Im in the same boat. I hate the notch so I had no intention of getting a new iPhone until they changed that. I want to see how the new pill solution works and looks like in real life practice. Ideally I want the John Ivy flat front glass panel look lol. But that might not happen for another 3 to 4 years.
Considering iOS 16 supports down to iPhone 8, imo the XR would be fine. Probably try not to fill up the storage and have at least a few gigabytes free. I have seen iPhones with full storage slowing down to a crawl.
I have newer than that, and if the notchless thing comes to pass, I will definitely upgrade (unless I just can’t give up this 13 mini). The notch has bothered my OCD for several years now. ;-p
11 Pro Max owner since day one. iPhone innovation is disminishing. 3-5x camera zoom, notchless display, doubled base storage or breakthrough camera tech would be amongst the very few features that could tempt me into upgrading. However I don’t believe that the iPhone 14 will be it.
I don’t play games on my phone which makes performance jumps my M1 or M2 immaterial.
My 11 still works as well as the day I got it so it’s hard to justify spending the money unless T-Mobile decides to give me a free upgrade, which seems unlikely.
I just upgraded from my 2020 SE to the 2022. It's been a week and I am more than happy. It seems a bit snappier and I would swear the new internals are making my pictures look better. The battery is a tad better than the 2020. I just hope Apple keeps making phones with the home button. Between that and the curved edges and overall size I am finally 100% content with ios and you could not pay me to go back to Android. I know this phone is not for everyone but for me personally it is as close to perfection as it gets.
