Thinking about upgrading your phone? Before you dive into the latest and greatest from Apple and Samsung, let's talk about when it's scientifically worth it to upgrade. I'll explore common phone issues like battery life, performance, and new features to help you decide if a new phone is truly necessary or if a simple fix might do the trick. Don't fall for the upgrade trap—watch now and make an informed choice!

Went from the XR to the 15 pro max… feels like I stepped into the future

Repair your phones and use them as long as possible (and bareable). Buy last years flagship second hand for cheap and repeat the cycle.

TV behind you with video playing is amazing. Very good video Jon. Keep up the good work ❤.

Still using the OG iPhone 8 Plus in 2024 😅 planning to upgrade to either the upcoming 16 pro or the galaxy z flip 6

I've had my Huawei P30 Pro for almost 5 years now. I've been thinking about upgrading for a newer camera but just can't justify it. The Huawei still performs so damn well. I'll definitely go with Honor but it doesn't look like it's going to be the current generation. Still annoyed Trump killed Huawei for the western world.

I asked Ai to sums this video and ai said “this is common sense”

With the cost of battery replacement if you have your phone through a carrier most of the time you can get a new phone with your old one as a trade in for maybe 200 more than the battery replacement cost.

I don't know why this is targeted at Apple. Isn't battery degradation, a more demanding OS and 'premium software features' a general smartphone company problem?

[Raaaphael]

I only upgrade my phone when it's broken, doesn't work properly or doesn't receive any updates anymore and I keep it as a spare. Then I'll go on a refurbished site like back market and buy a used one for a fraction of the new price. I don't care if it's already 2 years old.

Initially had the 15 Pro, it was my first foray into iPhone land after being an Android guy since Android first came out. I loved the switch as IOS fits the current needs of my lifestyle versus what Android used to. Have some HomePod Minis and some AirPod Pro 2nd Gen’s. Love the whole ecosystem and integration. But after awhile noticed the 15 Pro was way more phone than I needed. So I sold it and got an iPhone 13 Mini, 88% battery health and it being so small I might have to charge it once or twice a day depending on usage. But once the battery health drops below 80% I’ll get another battery for it. It may have a small battery and less than ideal battery life, but it charges up quick enough and does everything I need.

That's why Apple got sued. The Cpu speed is tied to battery life. You upgrade the battery and you are faster again. Apple throttles the cpu to maintain the same battery life in hours. More important to keep that 10 hours battery. They still do it. Usually never an issue but when it gets to like 70% and lower batter health then it's noticeable. Pay $79 or $99 and your cooking with gas again.

[Gaudzauw]

Great video, totally agree with everything you said. That being said, Im going to ignore every good point you made when the iPhone 16 comes out 😄

[callmeNeno]

The iPhone 13 Pro is the longest had this phone 3 years. I use to upgrade every year. Every 4 years upgrade cycle is my cup of tea

[TheBladedTechShow]

I’m on an iPhone 11 and replaced my battery a few months ago. Unfortunately, that didn’t fix the problem, so I’m likely picking up an iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 Pro Max this September.

Nice video Jon, keep up the good work!

The a17 pro is considerably more powerful not the 10% you stated, but >15% not to mention the increased gpu speed and enhanced neural engine. Then the phone has 2 more gigs of ram. It really is a big leap compared to every other iPhone in recent memory. Kind of like the jump from the 6 to the 6s

[bmadan]

I am going from a flip3 to a fold6 this week. The phone is fine but back glass is broken, The battery is terrible and honestly, I am bored of that phone.If Apple releases a smaller iphone or a new SE, I would upgrade my secondary iPhone 12 mini too. I feel like 3 to 4 years is where I tend to switch my phones

[mugzee]

Even a 2K USD phone is still a great value for money for the all around functionality and around 4 hours of screen time a day and great percentage of your attention.
