Same looking brick with minor upgrades? Yeah, I'll probably pass. The pace of innovation that this company is operating at is depressing compared to what it once was.

iPhone 15 Demand Predicted to Be Lower Than iPhone 14: Are You Planning to Upgrade?

You definitely need the Max for all the new features. It's strange year. 15 Pro lacks one of the biggest new features - the upgraded periscope camera. With 16 it's said we will have that on both models and the difference will be again just the size, which is expected to grow with few inches. (6.3" and 6.9")
He/she buys 2 pro max 1To and 4 Watch ultra every year that’s why you should 😅😂
keeping my iphone 12 pro no need to upgrade just yet
Considering my usual use cases, I doubt I'll get rid of my 13 Pro Max until at least the 21 or 22 come out (will have to see though when they drop security updates and what happens after that though)
My 14 Pro is already too thick for my taste. I plan to stick with it until Apple once again releases a thinner phone. I'm not purporting to speak for anyone other than myself, of course.
Apple are being found out. The iPhone was revolutionary but 16 years later it really needs some major innovation.
Well there's nothing new that interests me. Things used to be different (i did rush and buy an iPhone 5S back then because there was a feature that interested me and my old phone was too slow for) but ... more megapixels? Replacing the notch with a fancier notch? Different design for something that sits in a pocket? Why?
It doesn't help that I'm not in the target market for a smartwatch. I haven't had a new electronic toy to be excited about in ages!
I'm on a 12 Pro Max and the wife is on the "X". In reality, my wife carries around a camera that she texts with and occasionally makes phone calls. Her battery life is finally starting to frustrate her so the new periscope lens has her VERY interested. Between that, USB-C connectivity (to go with all our other USB-C devices) and all the other updates, we're looking at a pair of phones on this cycle.
I’m on AT&T’s Next up plan, but instead of 12 months, these days you gotta wait 18 months or pay off half and trade in. I’m going to have to put in extra hours at work if I want it on launch day, which might be on my birthday this year. 😊😊😊
It's confirmed at this point that the entire 15 serie is based on USB-C.
Trying to go a minimum of 3 years, and my 12 Pro Max has been great to me. Think it's about that time, between the camera upgrades and battery improvements.
Been waiting for Apple to switch over to type C. Now that they have, it's time to upgrade my 12 pro Max.
Mini or nothing. Love the mini size and can't imagine getting a phablet size again. The USB-C aspect is nice, but I pretty much never even use the port these days with wireless charging being easier.
Because we just can’t wait to replace all of our lightning cables, right? 😂 sounds pretty “green” to me.
The only Apple product I have currently for USB-C is a Mac.
The following users in my inner circle are upgrading.
Myself - From 13 Pro
My better half - From 12 mini (might be a hard sale, may pass)
Inlaw #1 - From iPhone SE2020
Inlaw #2 - From iPhone XR
Going to try to get us all into 15 Pro's if possible only one user has a separate work phone (another iPhone SE2020) trying to dump lighting as soon as possible.
Charging cables frequently wear out, it happens. You can always donate your old lightning cables to people that still use older phones through various sources; no one says you have to throw them into the ocean.
I can't wait to be rid of lightning though I know it will take some time. Already have several USB-C cables from iPads, so no need to buy anything, just a new phone.

Are you serious???? no way, i've been doing my research for so long now and what i found is that it was a hardware matter...
No, I’m gonna hang on with my iPhone 12 Pro Max until it stops receiving major iOS updates.
What is the price of a person's time? Save $500 by keeping the old phone I suppose. But you pay $1200 per year for phone contract let's say.
I have a friend rocking an antique half broken old model iPhone - "it still works" he says. He is not one to waste money, but he most likely has NOT considered that he is paying monthly cellular plan rates of $89.00 or $100.00, and his phone itself is worth about $100. Seems ridiculous to me.
I mentioned it to him and his phone company "upgraded" him to like an iPhone 12 or something for "FREE" at least. So many people miss out on what is the value of things.
Yup, exactly. Will be my first iPhone. Haven't considered buying an iPhone until they switched to USB-C. Finally Europe helped Apple see the light...or at least helped Apple make the change without seeing the light.
