From the $1200 iPhone 15 Pro Max to the ~$100 iPhone SE 2, there's no shortage of iPhone options - which are you using right now? Any of you looking to upgrade soon?

I just upgraded from 32gb iPhone 7 to a used 256gb 11 Pro. I bought it for $300 and the jump is insane to me, huge storage, all day batery, triple-camera, OLED screen, fast charging, iOS 17. Safe to say I'm keeping this beauty for 1-2 more years.

wake up babe new iPhone buying guide just dropped

[michaelwoolcock]

I think the 13 is the sweet spot. Same chip as the 14 and nicer colors then the 15. I bought an SE3 last year as a first time Apple user. Wanted to buy the mini but Apple dropped it. Got the 13 product red and have no regrets.

Just upgraded from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 15 plus …. There’s a huge improvement in many aspects like display and especially the battery life like literally 2 days of battery 🔋 and type -c and even the dynamic island features is nice to have and the camera is a huge upgrade in my usage.

I got a iPhone 14 Pro on Amazon renewed for $540. After I bought it the price went up to $680. I do not regret it in the slightest, also there is not a scratch on it and the battery is good.

Just got my 11 back with a new battery and it’s still rocking. Hoping for 2+ years more.

[sidathwijeratne]

Given the transition to USB-C, it makes more sense to cough up the cash for a 15 or 15 pro if you’re due for an upgrade… otherwise, the 13 seems to be that sweet spot in the middle

[Jake-imbp]

Just upgraded from the se2 to the se3 and i can say that the battery life has improved by a large margin

[deadtoll]

Just bought the iPhone 13 from Amazons Great India Festival at 49, 500 rupees (594 dollars), minus the money I got for my previous phone at 6000 rupees (72 dollars) it comes at 522 dollars which is very reasonable for an iPhone in my opinion. It was either that or the One Plus 11r at 40, 000 rupees (480 dollars). But after using android for 10+ years straight, I had to buy the iPhone for a change, and I’m loving it. The last iPhone I used before this is the iPhone 3GS.

[eatthebaek]

For me I’m planning to buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max, because it’s basically iPhone 15 pro max but with way better deal now. I believe the only differences are:
- action button
- usb type c
- titanium build
- new telephoto lens
- new A17 chip

These are great features to have but I’d rather save that extra few hundred bucks.

We bought a brand new IPhone SE3 from Tracfone a few months ago for $189. It was a limited time special. Works great and is much cheaper than what Apple and many other retailers are selling it for.

[lindamaniwang]

14 plus for me is the sweet spot because of the size and 6gb ram

[JoelMiller]

Its worth mentioning that the 15 plus has a considerable better battery life than the 15 pro max.

[carlstevens]

Still rocking my 64gb XS but it’s really starting to show its age. The screen has finally started to get noticeable burn in, my battery lasts less than 4 hours with constant use, & it’s sluggish but I attribute that more to having less than 20 gigs of storage free & the degraded battery. Depending on how optimizations go for the next year with iOS 17, I’ll probably upgrade to a 13 or 13 mini. If software breathes new life into it I’ll replace the battery & finally get around to offloading most of my media to other devices to free up storage & nurse it until security support stops.

Just upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the 15 Pro, and the experience is already so much better. Just from battery life and the 120hz display, it’s awesome

[CGR]

My last upgrade was a 6s to a SE gen 2, it was getting a little long in the tooth so I decided to jump up to the 15 pro. I figure I spend so much time on my phone, why not make it a great experience.

[muscy]

I think something else to take away from this video is that you could choose one of the cheaper phones like the XS or XR or even the 11 to potentially get for cheap as a phone you could trade in for a carrier deal towards a newer model iPhone

Just bought a used iPhone 13 Pro in an amazing condition (zero scuffs and scratches) in black for 400 bucks. Battery health 92% 🔋. I’m not complaining.
