iPhone 11 Pro Is anyone else planning on keeping their iPhone 11 Pro Max another year?

[ericwn]

Yeah but when the triple camera lens came out, the stop light camera looked outdated so I switched.

Great job, Tim

Did you read what I wrote or not? The same essential message I would repeat. Outdated only exists in your mind.

Do what you like. Others don’t care about your superficialities or your tech.

 

[ericwn]

I’d rather keep my 11 pro max and spend more money on my drum kit.

You can never have enough cowbell.

woman love men who can afford expensive things..

Some do. Some don’t. Anybody can afford an iPhone.

If anything, the iPhone X is the right phone to stick with if you don't like upgrading but want to have the latest tech that brings meaningful change to how we use our phones (OLED + FaceID + Longer screen).

Otherwise, it's iPhone 7 to X all over again with the iPhone 11 Pro to 12 Pro transition.

What I'm getting at is, upgrade to 12 if you really care about the latest "leap" (rumored: 5G + Smaller Notch + Squared Off design) and then be satisfied for another 3 years until the next redesign (notchless + portless?)

I say up grade every year if you can afford it. All bills paid, 401 maxed out etc.

What about all bills paid, no debt, and good investments (*knock on wood*)? No retirement accounts though

My husband still has a 6s. He drives an old truck. He also spoils the heck out of me. I don't know about most women but I feel I'm a lucky gal.

A guy with nice things is cool and all but taking care of his woman? That's pure gold right there.

He got me a Pro Max.

Here now Phone cost is just added to your phone plan, divided by 24 months, after a year you can sell it pay what’s owing which would cover it and start again, just means you are always paying for a phone monthly, But you get a new phone each year, great for business, not so good if it’s just a social phone.

 

[HandITOVER]

SMH.

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

I would imagine most people not paying a premium for the upgrade program will be keeping the phone longer than a year. Enthusiast forums may be different but most people don’t upgrade annually.

iPhone 11 Pro Max is the best iPhone I ever had.
Ultra fast, amazing screen, superb battery life.
I will upgrade ONLY if the successor will have NO NOTCH

If your main reason for anything is based on what other people will think you need to reevaluate your life choices.

This.

You do you. Worrying about what other people think is pointless.

Depends on the woman as in this age of equality, there is less emphasis on men’s earnings.

Still, anybody can own an iPhone so I don’t see it as being relevant here.

 

[Bandaman]

Nope. On the monthly payment thing through Verizon ... so I just update once a year now. Used to just buy the phone outright and sell it for 85-95% of what I bought it for ... but after dealing with annoying people on Craigslist and other ventures ... I'm avoiding the hassle now. My favorite is when someone purposely brings less money than they said they would pay and say "oh ... I only have this much on me." Like okay bye ... *drives away*

Every time this topic comes up ... there's always someone that thinks that women (or people in general) only care about superficial things.

 

[jbachandouris]

Well, I planned on keeping my XS Max, yet here I am. If they go back to Qualcom/BETTER modems, I'll upgrade for sure. These Intel modems are TRASH!
Guess I'll decide in October.

IF AT&T rolls out 5G, 2021 is a for sure upgrade.

On a contract, I like to keep mine for two years although I kept my iPhone 4S for five years as I hated the 6, 6S, 7 design and did not upgrade until the X. The same right no for me in that I love the 5.8" screen and the rumours of the 12 Pro starting at 6.1" has put me off 100%. Right now i'm looking to the 11 Pro although since there are zero deals through the carriers on 2 year contracts, I may buy the phone outright, put in a SIM only contract and then keep the phone for a few years until Apple make a smaller Pro phone. I travel and I'm not a fan of huge phones.
For me I use the iPhone for everything - I'm a tech minimalist and purely use a MacBook and iPhone along with Apple TV. This combination has been perfect for me for the last 10 years now and stress free

I'm really not excited about the 12 new design rumours. In all honesty, I think Apple nailed it with the X - 11 Pro design.

I’m with you on the X - 11 Pro design. I hated the square look of the 4/4S/5/5S series and hope it don’t come to the 12 Pro.

 

[snow755]

I for one love the NOTCH it. Would feel funny to go back to a notch less phone

 

[AJ44]

I’ve been “that guy” since the 3G. I don’t care what others think, I like the latest phone, it’s one of the areas in life where I pay premium to upgrade yearly.

 

[VertPin]

I say this each year but who am I kidding. I’ll be getting the 12 lol.

 

[Seanm87]

People thinking the notch will be slimmed down this year are going to be disappointed I think. There haven't really been any rumours about the notch so I think it will be here another year and wouldn't surprise me if next year as well.

Kuo is predicting the use of an ultra small front lens to increase screen to body ratio. So yes, there have been credible rumors.

That’s really all the OP needs to learn.

 

[JagRunner]

I don't care what anyone thinks of my iphone purchases.

I'm not sure if I will upgrade this fall. Depends on what is released.

 

[Phone Junky]

I'm not sure if I'll update to iPhone 12 Pro Max. Thinking about keeping my 11 for another year.

When you've had it for a year, then you can think about keeping it for another year.
