I have an 8+: Should I upgrade to 11/pro or wait for the 12 in September?
I feel like an upgrade but can't decide if I should upgrade now or wait until September. What should I do?

What’s your battery rated at 86% compared to what?....As in are you using the iPhone measurement or coconut battery? 80% is the threshold for replacement/Apples regulation.
Due to a good trade in/port in deal with AT&T, I got the Pro Max on January 14th.
Looking at this COVID-19 issue, I'm glad I did. It's a good device I got $700 off of. 5G was of zero importance to me.
Really it's up to you.

I upgraded from 8+ to the 11 Pro Max and it was definitely worth it. Battery was at 84%.
Is it a bragging right to have an iPhone 11 Pro Max because it’s a ‘craigslist phone’ then?
They are all sold secondhand at some point so to me that’s a silly comment.
Does your current phone do pretty much everything you want on a regular basis? If yes then keep your current phone. If not then decide if the money you'd spend on a new phone is the thing you'd most like to do with that amount of money, as opposed to spending that same money on a nice vacation or car mod or whatever else you're into.
Idk why you guys knocking on the 11 and telling op to get the pro max, for 500 bucks more you only getting oled and another camera which doesn’t even have night mode on it.
I Upgraded from 8 plus to 11 and the form factor is easier to hold, I’m getting way better battery, and the camera upgrade is a nice touch, I don’t miss the oled from my work phone x, the black could be blacker but that’s about it

let it be silly, it’s called Around my state the “Craigslist Iphone” because it’s already cheap, like the low ballers that offer “200$ cash, I buy right now” when your phone is brand new and still costs over $700
I’ll be honest I don’t know what a ‘low baller’ is or what your sentence is trying to explain?
I think a low baller is someone who offers a ridiculously low offer on something for sale in the off chance they’ll get it.
I just googled it too and it’s appears to be American slang specifically linked to Craigslist. Neither of which are used in my country so no wonder I was confused.
No point in someone getting a Pro Max if they don’t even need/want what it offers.
The 11 Pro Max is a heavy, cumbersome and expensive phone for many I love it for its size and heft but the iPhone 11 has a lot of what it has at a lower price and easier to handle chassis for most people.
You've never heard the term "lowball"?
lowball
1. at a level that is unfairly low: 2. to calculate something at a price or…
One with an elongated scrotum?
Having said that, go for the 11, it’s a great phone. Pro models come at a premium for features you likely don’t want/aren’t interested in. I went from a 7+ to an 11 and am very happy. Almost 50% more for a Pro...not worth it in my view, jeez, the difference is almost an iPad!

So in translation, you’re basically saying that nobody wants the iPhone 11 because it’s the ‘cheaper/entry-level ‘model, but yet, the irony is, it’s actually Apple’s most popular model due to the price point and it’s highly competitive against the pro in terms of features. why doesn’t have to opt for the most expensive iPhone to still have a similar experience aside from the tri-camera being a major differential.
I love my 11. I also loved my 8+ - great phone. Overall I like the size of the 11, and I really love the camera and the battery life on this thing. The camera is fantastic as well.
I tried the XS Max and had issues with the OLED so I wound up returning - didn’t even try with the 11 pro max because of that. Honestly, for the money, I don’t think the differences are necessarily worth it (to ME - my opinion only), but I am sure if I had no issues with OLED I would’ve kept the pro - I really wanted the bigger phone. That said, I think the display on the 11 looks pretty darn great, and I have zero issues with it.

His original post sounded like the 11 Pro Max was the ‘Craigslist phone’. The whole thing is rather juvenile I must say.
