Apple Outlines 'Reasons to Upgrade' Your iPhone on New Website

[spaceballl]

To me, the most interesting thing is that Apple won't even show the previous 2 generations in there...

I'm only seeing reasons not to upgrade.

The dull iPhone 15 colors and lack of a physical SIM card tray are two more reasons not to upgrade.

Let me know when you bring back a mini iPhone and I might be interested. Otherwise I’ll be using this one until it dies.

I honestly only upgraded to the iPhone 15 Plus for the USB-C and battery. I can hardly tell a difference in every day life next to my previous iPhone 12 Pro Max and I actually find the front facing camera much better on the 12. Only speaks for the longevity of the iPhone nowadays though!

I was using an XS until it suddenly got real bad this year. The battery started acting sketchy. I was mulling over paying the $90 to replace the battery or forking up for a new iphone. Ended up buying an iphone 13 from a fire sale deal target had. TBH while I was dragging my feet I switched daily driver duty over to my android phone and found I actually... preferred it? Aside from the apple watch not working with it lol.

Same! I don't have the funds to upgrade phones but my XS Max is sitting at 65% battery health and it is NOT a happy camper these days. I'm going to try and make it last another year so I can get a regular 15 when the 16's come out - I really want that USB-C connector!

They need an iSale

The biggest sale since sale.

I will only upgrade if they build a firewall into iOS.

Wasn’t there already a comparison tool on the website?

For me the most compelling feature would be USB-C. But I'm still holding on to the 13. It has everything I need.

USB-C is the one reason why I’m not looking forward to upgrading in the future.

Jikes just get that battery replaced. I gave my MS Max to my mum in December and she’s happy

People are starting to wake up. Tech won’t make us happy.

And the tech is getting boring too.

Exactly!

Won’t upgrade to a phablet, no way 😤

 

[stevemiller]

so much for being environmentally conscious.

(for the record having a tool that lists the differences between models is fine and useful - its the marketing speak that i just find tiresome)

 

[Stiksi]

Why upgrade indeed! Still on the 2020 SE and going to get a battery replacement next. Feeling absolutely no pressure to upgrade.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Imagine a combination in dropdown menu there is an easter egg... just in time for easter

Look, we need to increase sales. The shareholders are so so demanding. Please just buy a new iPhone... the one you have is great, but its last years model. Who wants that. You know you want a new iPhone. Go on, you want it... the experience of opening up a new iPhone

Is there also why not to upgrade? Like because it’s moving my money from my account
to Apple account 🤓🤗

 

[dampfnudel]

It’s hilarious how they don’t put the iPhone 13 lineup in the comparaison. Must be not enough changes

Not enough meaningful changes to justify spending so much. It’s Apple quietly acknowledging that they’re not adding enough changes in recent models to hook someone with a two-year-old iPhone to upgrade. Something that would’ve been no problem years ago.

People are starting to wake up. Tech won’t make us happy.

They say money won't make us happy either.

If someone wants to give me a few million dollars and a bunch of new tech toys, I'd like to put those 2 hypotheses to the test.

 

[Fuzzball84]

They need to put M3 in it already.

 

[CmdrLaForge]

I just compared my 12 mini with 15 Pro and it’s kind of underwhelming thinking about what I would get in comparison to the cost

 

[pspdead]

What’s next? A reminder everytime I don’t see a dynamic island popup on my iphone 12?

Think of all the YouTube videos this site makes redundant

You wish - the Youtubers will just read the article via screen record with themselves cropped in the corner and offer their 'hot takes' as they go.

...Oh god, the next step is them reacting to the comments section of MacRumours.

 

[dampfnudel]

My iPhone XR is not included in the list of old phones to be compared. I guess that means my XR is still so GREAT that there is no reason to consider updating

Or more likely Apple thinks anyone still rocking an XR is probably running that thing into the ground.

You sure about that?

Because let’s not android Is a big reason.

Weird that it doesn't include iPhone 13/14. I guess that just confirms that there is no reason to upgrade from my 13 Pro.
