As the title says - I just got a reminder notice from Apple that my iPhone 12 is eligible for an upgrade to a 13. For those who have done this upgrade - 12 to 13 (not to a 13 PRO thanks) - do you feel it was worth it? I am very happy with my 12 and the "improvements/upgrades" don't seem that impressive. I joined the Apple Upgrade program looking forward to getting a new iPhone each year and this is the first time I am hesitant.
Opinions on the 12 to 13 upgrade?
Thanks.
 
I have not used the 12 or 13, but from just comparing the spec sheets, it’s clear that they are very similar. The difference between the A14 and A15 chips is negligible and certainly not noticeable in daily use (10% speed increase in specific benchmarks).

If upgrading only cost another $100 after trading in your old phone, then sure, why not just for fun, but if you’ll be several hundred dollars out - then it’s a much harder sell.
