No. Rumors that surround the iPhone 15 Pro are far more exciting to me.

Hello, old timer, I’m 57.This is just a phone. At least to us old timers.
Nope. I haven’t been excited for years! After buying my 11 pro I stopped being excited about the new iPhones, as I thought mine was pretty great! Also I didn’t like the shape of the 12 and 13 and hoped for something new this year, but it’ll just look the same again. I have to upgrade now, as my phone is a bit broken, but will take a cheap 13 pro.
For me, AOD was a gamechanger on my Apple Watch, so it’s really the only feature I’m looking forward to seeing on iPhone. Still, I’ll stick to my 13 Pro for 2 more years…
Nope not at all
Iphones really have not changed since the 11...remember when every 2 years saw a major hardware update?

I would say I am more interested than excited. Interested in seeing if it’s worth me upgrading or not. I’m still on my 12PM and have 0 regrets not upgrading to the 13 series last year. Best case scenario I upgrade this year, worst case scenario I replace my battery and wait for next year. So again, just waiting to see what the 14 has to offer.
Nope, I’ll upgrade my 12 mini to a 13 mini when the 14 drops. Hoping for a price drop. Would have upgraded to a 14 mini but I doubt there will be one.
Might be the first year I skip a YoY upgrade. I'm on a 13 Mini....and don't really want to carry around a bigger phone. The camera on the mini is great, I'm sure this year's will be a nice upgrade.
Only thing that may tempt me a little is if they launch with green, I was sad I missed out on it by upgrading at launch...

I somehow find the pill + circle combo to be more annoying than the notch for some reason.... Maybe I just have to see the final product in person... but from the images so far I find it weirder and more intrusive.... Or perhaps I've just gotten so used to the notch who knows.Yes. Ready for 14PM. Bye bye notch
I have an iPhone SE 2022, and I'm indeed a bit underwhelmed. I thought I'd get a super phone that does not force me to set up a neutral face whenever I want to use it, although in old fashioned housing. It's ok, but somehow it feels idk somehow just not so great. I've owned iPhone 3,4,7,XR I think. XR was best, looking back. Maybe the SE is just a tad small, I keep mistyping all the time. As I havent experienced photography with iPhone Pro (I thought with the A15 and Halide I'd be just as fine..) I wonder if I might enjoy an upgrade to any iPhone Pro (14 or an older one they keep in the line).
Still not sure if I want to go back to Face ID though...

Hated calling my parents from Nana's 3 9s and no numbers under 5 :/ Touchtone was the greatest thing everThis is just a phone. At least to us old timers.
Possibly. I've got a Google Pixel 5 (had a 3 before that and a string of iPhones finishing with the 7). I want a better camera and a phone similar in size. I feel like Google have dropped the ball a bit with the P6 (and the 7 unlikely to be much different) + too big. Some technical lackluster issues. I won't touch Samsung. I've enjoyed pure Android on the Pixels.
The size, camera, AOD (use it as a nightstand) and robust in-car use are very important to me. When I switched away, I felt like I had finally broken free of the walled garden. I've still got my iPhone 7 and have played. The lack of customisation of the home screen and inability to change to Google Assistant (sorry, but Siri sucks) by default is a bit annoying. But, I'm looking back to the iPhone 14 Pro. Can I keep the Pixel 5 for another 12 months? Probably, it's a great phone. But I feel that despite the astonishingly good Google Camera processing, the lens is starting to show its age. The level of tracking is a bit annoying, too but hey, I'm the product and I knew that.
Do I buy the iPhone 14 Pro, sell in a year and get the 15 Pro with USB-C in a year, see what Google does with the Pixel 8... The resale value of the iPhone 13 Pro right now isn't horrific, so the 14 should be good in a year too, particularly for those not wanting to ditch Lightning.
Will I miss the 'freedom' of Android at the expense of size + camera array?
We'll see. It's got to be good.

Not excited, but curious. I’m still rocking an iPhone XR with an Apple battery case that I just bought two months ago. Four years is both a long and a short time in tech to worry about spending another $999 on a phone. I don’t expect revolution, so I’m not going to be disappointed like some people around here. Looking forward to what apple comes up with for 2022.
Err yeah, of course. But this is a discussion about phones. It's not a discussion about whether I value my phone more or less than other objects, it's a comparison for my usage for something that isn't cheap. I'd be weighing up the pros and cons of say, my next washing machine, car, vacuum...
Already have a 13 so not excited at all. See very little new if anything. I wonder if people posting about no notch as an incentive to buy we're also the ones claiming the notch didn't bother them. 😁
I've always disliked the notch and never got used to it but I'm not giving Apple any more money.

Not excited. If it was completely full screen (ie no pinhole) then I would be but for me the pinhole/capsule thing looks worse than the notch. It would be okay if they made use of the extra space above/between it but it looks like the won't, so what's the point?
I think this is possibly the least exciting year for iPhone ever, especially with how few upgrades the non-pro 14 is getting
This really is a year to hold onto whatever 13 model you have, but if you have a 12 or earlier iPhone its probably worth upgrading. The 15 with USB-C is the one I think most people will/should upgrade to.

With you on the using a phone for years before upgrading. A phone lasts so long and is incredibly wasteful to upgrade every 12 months.
Never understand this urge to upgrade every year. It’s crazy.
