"It’s always best to buy when there’s a redesign."
So why did people buy the iPhone 13 your post is really stupid. The 13 is on the 4th Cycle next year is a new redesign when the 14 launches the 13 will looked so dated as the 15 16 17 18 so on will all follow suit of the 14 .....
And I am still using the iPhone 8 Plus due to the fact the X - 13 Line up are still the same if you understood my post
You can see when all the changes took place and all follow a similar cycle
