I held onto my S4 for 4 years and upgraded to the Ultra1. It worked perfect besides the battery going under 80% by that time. I carried a power bank with me so I always had a charger. I now upgrade my watches 4-5 years now.
Got a tip for us?

I hope so too, because this is a much needed feature for me to work alongside my cpap machine. I wear a Wellue O2 ring at night, just in case Apple were to deactivate on my watch. It is also a deciding factor to determine my next upgrade.
iPhone upgrade program so yearly upgrades. Apple Christmas is September. 
Both the biggest and smallest iPhone update ever. Biggest screen size, smallest jump in new features. Seriously, I hope they have one surprise trick up their sleeve that we don’t know about.
I'm looking forward to what Apple has prepared for the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch. I'm really looking forward to the event but just for the Apple Watch.
I'm not expecting an iPhone X equivalent for the Apple Watch but I do expect a much bigger upgrade than the Series 8 and Series 9 were to their predecessors.

I am typing this from my iPhone 13 Pro. Can’t wait to have everything on USB-C. The only 2 devices with a lightning port that I use are this iPhone and the AirPods Pro 2. Everything else is migrated to USB-C.
This will probably be a day 1 purchase, specifically the version with ANC. I find myself using an old pair with ANC a lot to help dampen down loudness around me in public places, and even at the office sometimes.
I'm much more looking forward to the iPhone event part of that day 😅
A ceramic S10 or black titanium U3 would be an instant buy for me. I'm going to upgrade regardless because I'm planning on giving my mom my current titanium S7 as her first foray into the Apple Watch line. But a ceramic or black titanium case would make the upgrade feel all the more substantial for me.
Yes it will be.
"Microsoft will hold an event for industry peers at its campus in Redmond, Washington, on Sept. 10."
You know that the iphone lineup is stale when I’m more excited about the debate and I’m not even murican.
Yeah, I feel like this is an excellent year to upgrade our gadgets. The A18 and M4 chips are going to bring a big jump in performance and efficiency, along with the increases in RAM, being 8GB now the minimum for new iPhone & iPad, and hopefully (if the latest leak is true) 16GB the base RAM across the M4 Mac lineup.
Also I’m pretty hyped by the new AirPods 4 and the thinner Apple Watch 10.
This fall is going to be great for Apple customers, and not only because of Apple Intelligence.
I find it very odd that we’ve heard nothing about Apple’s plan to get the oxygen sensor back. Is there a new one coming that isn’t subject to the patent ban?
It will be super weird to launch a brand new generation of Watch with this still being an issue. I also wouldn’t buy it and I am beyond ready for an upgrade.
I haven’t seen anything regarding Apple’s plan to get the sensor back, and it seems like they haven’t been making any moves to get it back. This is a big deciding factor for me.
My wife and I are looking forward to having a new iPhone 16 PM.
just because you haven't seen any rumors here or elsewhere doesn't mean there won't be SpO2 in the new AW ... it would be a big miss though, but ~ 2.5 weeks to know for sure
I am not upgrading this year, but I hope that whatever material they use in the Ultra 2 casing and ocean band that causes irritation and rashes on my wrist (and numerous others from doing some research), is something Apple resolve 😅
Intelligence is coming so late in 2025. The 17 would be better for it. As you’d expect it would be better aligned with it.
Maybe RAM gets another boost. Etc.
As Apple will want to pull as much onto the device as they can so they are able to save on the data center and third party AI fees.
