Do you use iCloud? Why not just pay for a bit of iCloud storage for 2 months until the 16 series is released?
Just get 15 Pro max, as you need it now. Or if you want to purchase a iPhone 11 on offer up or something for the couple months then use it as a trade in. Im sure you'll get a could trade offer via carrier.
I would probably just any old 2nd hand device for just a couple of months. Does it have to be a 15 Pro? You can probably survive with something older and therefore cheaper for just 2 months.
What happen in January that make buying a 3-4months old phone not worth buying anymore?
I’ve always thought of it this way as well. I suppose it’s a little different if you’re going to keep the phone 2-3+ years like many do today.
Slightly it was already getting pretty piss poor trade in values. T-Mobile would only give you the max $800+ if you're on their absolutly best plan which is already incredibly expensive but not atypical). Verizon when we switched this week (we needed to add a line and Verizon was cheaper for us to switch and add the line). They said $800 and then told me that my unlocked as I bought from Apple directly iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB was not eligible and would only give me $400 for it. So rather than getting a new phone for the line we needed to add during the switch that line got my 14 Pro Max and I picked up the 15 Pro Max (Yes I know the 16 PM is coming but we needed to add the line so oh well.) I think the trade in values will be even worse when the 16 P and 16 PM are announced.
You know full well a new iPhone is coming out in just 2 months time as you've been active here for 10 years and ask these sorts of questions on a regular basis.
