Other What will make you upgrade to a newer phone?

[krspkbl]

whenever my phone breaks, is unrepairable or too expensive to repair, is no longer supported with updates, and/or when usability is frustratingly slow.

my AC+ expires this year so if i drop it and it gets damaged then instead of paying Apple £300-500 for a repair i'll just get a new phone. if my battery degrades significantly i'll pay apple to repair it.

if i have my phone long enough that it slows down (and a new battery doesn't help) due to iOS then i'll buy a newer model. if my phone no longer gets iOS updates then it's time for a new phone.

i'm done buying a new phone all the time. the only reason i went with the iPhone 12 Pro Max which cost me £1,350 (include AC+) was because i was planning on keeping it 3-4 years. there is absolutely no chance that i'm spending £1,000+ every year lol.

I got a 13 pro for battery, promotion and cameras. But I’d vastly prefer the size/weight of the mini. I get it, more features require more space. But if they were able to get those specs into a smaller form factor that’d motivate the upgrade from me.

Same, I had the 12 mini and the battery was terrible. The 13 pro is a great phone but a little too big and heavy so I’ve stared using it without a case. I really wish they stayed with the 5.8 screen on the pros. If the 14 pro is 20% lighter that would probably convince me to upgrade. Really an 11 pro with aluminum instead of stainless steal and promotion would be my perfect phone.

Tough sell on any phone right now.
