What do you mean by "need"? I mean,it's not like it's gonna die in the next 10 months (the phone) it's just that like,I want new phone because my phone is becoming boring

Like if your phone is falling apart then don’t wait. If you’re able to wait though, you can either save money or get a newer, better product. The more you wait between models, the more exciting new features there are.

“My phone is becoming boring”? That’s first world problem. Definitely I would wait and I would try find something to do that full fill my joy in a more healthy way. Some sport, walking. A new phone happiness last days. I few weeks with luck.

Then I suggest you switch to Android, as other than the new dynamic island, the iPhone is gonna be the same as the one that came before it.

Unfortunately that’s just what happens after a while of owning the same device. We got spoiled when smart phones first came out with the new major upgrades every year or every other year and it made sense to upgrade that often.
I held on my to my xs max for 4 years and that was the longest I’ve had a phone for without upgrading. It definitely got boring but still worked till the speakers gave out.

A few questions I like to ask myself before getting a new device (replace phone with whatever you want):
How old is your phone?
Is your current phone not functioning as well as its supposed to be?
Does it NOT perform any specific function that you need for daily usage?
Are there any new features in new phones that you'd like to have? Screen size, 'dynamic island', processing power, cameras, design, etc...
Is your phone looking all banged up but functioning well somehow?
Is this a luxury purchase to treat yourself?
Will you regret this purchase when 'the new thing' comes along next year?
​
General rule of thumb stuff I like to abide by. Luxury purchases are their own thing, with the rule of treat yo' self as long as you don't break the bank. Just be clear with yourself that this is a purchase of excess and budget things accordingly.

Idk what phone you have rn, but if it’s any of the iPhone X or later iPhones, the novelty of a new iPhone will wear off soon and you’ll feel “bored” again. I only say this because beyond better cameras or faster speeds, a new iPhone is functionally the same phone as all the notched iPhones.
If you gave a home button iPhone or an android, you’ll feel a difference jumping to an iPhone 13/14.

Why not wait for the 16? Or the 17? Or the iPhone Century edition?
There's no right or wrong answer. If someone wants or needs a new phone today, the iPhone 14 line is a worthwhile purchase. If someone does not want or need a new phone today, wait and see what comes down the line when that want or need comes up.

It would be a long wait since iPhone 14 just came out.

Probably depends on the usability of the phone you have now. Yes, the 15 will have some upgrades compared to the 14, but a bigger jump wild probably be from whatever phone you have now to the 14. If you were already thinking about upgrading, why wait another year?

I needed a new phone for mine was pretty much coming apart at the seams, but I joined the upgrade every year program from Apple knowing that they are gonna bring usb C on the next one, so now I’m not gonna fully pay for this phone and get the one I actually want next year

I wondered when the “should I wait for iPhone 15” posts would start.

Don’t hold back on upgrading based on rumors. The only rumor that Apple has openly confirmed, is that USB-C is coming. BUT, they have until autumn 2024, so the iPhone 15 could still very well have Lightning. Any other rumor is just someone blabbing.
If you like the iPhone 14 lineup, and you want a new phone, just go for it. I you’ll enjoy the phone.

I would wait. I just got the 14 pro max and honestly If i wasn't so stubborn, i would've just stayed with my 13. Not much of a difference. Now if you need a new phone, DO IT. if not then i would just hold out.

Would you get a 14PM for £250+ VS a 13PM? For someone who won’t use AOD or raw 48mpx pictures
Tdawg_615 t1_iu23ehy wrote
I mean if you are going to upgrade I would just go ahead and get the 14 pro max.

My phone is like maybe 6 months older than iPhone 12,does it mean for you I need new phone or not,because I don't know what you guys really mean by need,phones these days can last as much as you want
Tdawg_615 t1_iu1o8t7 wrote
So Typically that means...
Do you still have a good battery life? Does the phone still function for you day to day needs? If you answered yes, then i would just keep the phone you have. If you answered no, then i would get a new phone.

If you’re asking, then you don’t need to. Just wait.
GayAlexandrite t1_iu1nazo wrote
If you need a new phone right now, don’t wait. Otherwise, next year you’ll get a better phone for (hopefully) the same price or get the same phone on sale now for cheaper.
