I’m typing this on an iPhoneX I got on day of release. I’ve had a new battery and it’s still perfect. I kept telling myself I’d wait for USB-C, but now it’s here I’m just not bothered. I think the only reason I would have to upgrade is when mobile apps drop support for iOS 16. What “must have” feature are you using to justify an upgrade?
This is the conclusion I’ve come to. I was asking to see if there was something I hadn’t considered. The only thing I think I’m really missing out on is 5G, there is a tower about 500m from my house, but when I’m at home I have broadband anyway. Other than that it’s a lot of money and waste to consolidate my laptop and phone charging cables.
