Did you upgrade for 16 pm from 14 pm? Are you happy with it or do you wish you’d waited another year?
 
100 percent happy - insane battery life and nice camera upgrade. Glad that I skipped 15PM last year.
LE: 6 days later, I have decided to return the new toy due to its yellow casted display (& also sub-par uniformity). Nevertheless, both action and camera buttons are just a gimmick to me (poor positioning).

I skipped as well (hence my question) but just am feeling a bit h sure whether ordering the 16 pm is worth it. Thanks for your input!

Right, usb c is going to be fabulous! I just couldn’t tell if it was worth it, thank you for your input 😊

I did.

I'm pretty happy with the upgrade, the phone is nice, color is top (went from Space Grey to Natural Titanium) and the screen is gorgeous (I don't know if there's an improvement or if it's just a placebo effect).

BUT... for now the experience is pretty much the same as the 14PM thanks to this ridiculous take from Apple to postpone all the interesting new features. Other than the dark icons, there's nothing new.

Same. It's not an amazing upgrade, but it's more comfortable to hold (I don't use a case - never have, on any iPhone back to the 3G in 2008) and yes, the battery and camera upgrades are nice. Plus, the AI stuff is cool (Clean Up for photos, etc) ... Oh and the mic upgrades for videos

Yes, very happy with my upgrade. So far the USB C and battery have been great, and I love the 4K slomo and camera in general.
