Seriously... Hope Tim Cook is reading these comments and decides to make last minute change by switching to USB-C on iPhone 14 series...
No USB-C no sale. Hope that gets imprinted in his head.
Got a tip for us?

It’s a big assumption to think that they won’t make a revision to MagSafe that’s capable of data transfer. Or that they even care about data transfer when they want to foist iCloud onto people. If data transfer was something they were worried about we wouldn’t still be stuck with lightning connectors that operate at USB 2.0 speeds and take a year and a half just to dump 4K footage.
The point remains, they will go portless sooner or later, and by the time they announce it it will already be far too late to buy one of the last non-portless iPhones. So I will likely be returning to my annual upgrade cycle from here on out.
I have the 12 mini as well and I’m switching for sure. I like the form factor of the mini, but the battery life isn’t working for me..
I dunno, man, even just the battery life jump from my XS to my 11 Pro was a MASSIVE improvement. I think you'd be surprised how much better the newer phones are. I was not impressed with my XS.
Interestingly, I read this list and went “no significant improvement over my XS. I will skip this year” 😂

If I am out a lot then I tend to need to use a battery case which kinda sucks but isn’t enough in of itself to upgrade.
Battery is one of the main things that would motivate me to upgrade but equally I am at home with a charger, in the car with a charger, and at work with a charger.

I used to upgrade every year or 2nd year. I have an iPhone XS and each year since I have decided to stay put. A 0.3" increase and extra 5-7 hours battery would be appreciated, as would MagSafe. But I might hold out yet again and wait for USB-C. I am undecided at this point.
after more than 100 posts, no one pointed out that iPhone 11pro doesn’t support faceid with mask.
In many countries, people still need to wear mask in certain circumstances.

-100% agree. There isn't a single good reason to drag this one and will not be upgrading phone until this happens.. Lightening is slower than standard USB; and has simply run it's course.
USB-C/T-bolt is now the universal connection for all devices- phones, computers, laptops, stereo etc.
Not to mention buying a single type of cord that works with just about everything. Say no too lightening already.
If you got the 11 (pro) it’s better to wait for the 15/16 (pro), so you get USB-C and even better 5G support.
Unless you have to turn off WiFi, then it doesn’t.
Or perhaps we will be getting iPhones without a charging/data port… 😉
I'm in the same exact case. It does everything I need, all the novelties these past years are not very useful to me.
For casual photos it's enough, I have a DSLR for the rest.
For anything related to iOS, I get most of the same upgrades.
The only thing that would make me buy a new one would be if either my XS Max broke, or if an new phone becomes mandatory for the expected VR device or something like that.

3 years later and 5G is a feature?! it still has a 'hole' in the screen, no USB-C, sharp edges that catch every item they rub up against and you still have to buy the pro to get a usable full camera angle range. No real point in buying an iPhone14. Apple hang onto old concepts for too long and appear to resell too many new (low range) products with previous years unsold parts - definteily give this one a miss!
That's just selfish thinking.
What about timmy and the shareholders.
Do your part!
Another thing that can be added to the list - 1TB capacity. I think that was introduced with the 12, but this will be new to anyone who held out since the 11 and only buys the top model. Maybe we’ll even see a 2TB model, which will be a really giant leap from 512GB
I went from a 6s plus to a 11 pro max. I plan on waiting for iPhone 15 Pro because my 11 pro max is still chugging along. Works great.
I'm with you. My prepaid plan doesn't even offer 5G, and my battery is somehow at 99% too. Not seeing much to gain yet for my use cases.
