General Apple Megathread

[Table 5]

I'm on my 13 Pro Max and the only reason I'm even considering an upgrade is that a couple of weeks ago, after the 50th drop, the screen finally cracked in some places. Even then, it's still usable, and I'm not really seeing much incentive.

Maybe if we were still talking a few hundred bucks for a phone, I'd upgrade more often. But this thing is now approaching laptop territory in terms of price, so it better be able to last at least 5 years.

I had a 12 pro and mainly upgraded to the 15 pro, because of usb-c. Although at my previous employer, I was often kitted with the latest iPhone. Before the 12, the 10 was provided to me, and the 12 and 15 have been purchased by me. I can see the slowing of upgrading continuing, just don’t see the need — tech is more than sufficient. Evidently, our anecdotes are the norm. The masses are upgrading less frequently.

I may replace the battery at some point, 88% 550 cycles.
