My current iPhone is enough

Currently using a Pixel 9a but thinking about returning to Apple on December.

The only rule is: no new phone. I'm aiming for a 15, something like that. More than enough for me
 
I have a 13 Mini. There is no upgrade path, so I guess I’m stuck with it. Not buying a two-handed phone.

I’ve had the battery replaced once, and I’ll do it again if needed.

I have a 17 Pro but came from an 11 Pro. Aside from the 64GB storage being full for the last few years, everything else on the 11 Pro was perfect for my needs.

I went for the 17 Pro because I plan to keep it for maybe about 5ish years too but I probably would have been very satisfied with a 17 or maybe even the Air. The camera and speakers kept me away from the Air. I don't take a lot of pictures but when I do, they're usually for work stuff and I want them to look good. Maybe the Air would've been enough.
 
Air. My BIG issue is the lack of zoom lens, but I am not willing to carry a thick phone. So I have a sony point and shoot with zoom.

I had a 13 Mini the was sacrificed due to that horrendous iOS 26 update. I sold it to my brother.

I don't regret it that much but I also have a 12 Mini (it was my brother's previous phone) that I like to test sometimes and man, that size is just perfect. I currently have a Pixel 9a that is so so bigger. The Pixel 9a outperform the 12 Mini but comfort that the Mini brings can easily fight with the performance of the Pixel 9a

Mine is still on iOS 18. I read all the reviews of 26 and nope out. I’ll see how people like— or don’t like— 27 on their 13 Minis before deciding whether or not to install it.

17 pro max. i would kinda upgrade, i dont need it, none of my iphones were "not enough", i switched from 13 pro max which was my longest awaiting, and i still didnt feel a difference
... so why wait, time will never go back
I even placed it on some marketplace pages, i would lose "only" like 33% value so new one would cost me 67%

But i still feel like thats stupid
