I upgraded from an 11 Pro to a 13 pro and it was worth it for ProMotion, I noticed it everyday. That said at this point I would wait for the 15 since we’re probably 5ish months away unless you find a really good deal on the 14 Pro. I’m a bit on an iPhone enthusiast but I think every 2-3 years is a good upgrade cycle these days.

The 12-14 Pro phones have had very minimal feature improvements comparatively, so we don't know if we should expect even more minimal updates to the 15 or potentially a more impressive revision to the phone overall. Time is the only answer and the 15 will most likely not be announced/released until later this fall.

If you want to wait until then, that's up to you. We're over 1/2 a year into the 14 life cycle and there are some pretty good deals for it at this point if you want to get it.

It’s an accelerator like contextual menus or keyboard shortcuts. They don’t replace primary interaction they augment it.

Same thing that happens now when using the phone with gloves. Nothing unless they have a conductive material in the fabric

> What if you use your phone with a case?

Apple has to solve that problem anyway for the buttons. Cutouts that expose the frame? A case material that allows for pass-through conductivity.

> What if you drop your phone on the side with all the capacitive buttons?

Capacitive touch requires some some material that conducts electricity to close the loop. Unless your phone dropped on a conductive material like water nothing would happen.

I plan on buying an iPhone 12 through Swappa (link attached) My carrier is Visible I am in their Premium Plan. Is there anything I should know before I buy? I really want the iPhone 12 because I’ve never had a big screen iPhone before (I have iPhone SE 2020 currently) and also I would like a 5G capable device. Thanks!

The fact that South Korean news reports, along with complaints by Samsung board members, say a “large majority of Samsung employees use iPhones for personal use” (KS Choi, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics North America) supports you @nelamvr6.

I also upvoted you.

That’s horrible! An always-on security vulnerability. You can’t even pull the battery to make it really-truly off.

A hacker’s wet dream.

And by hacker, I include our government. They’ll love being able to eavesdrop using our “powered-off” phones, 24/7/365.

I upgraded from 11PM to 14PM when it came out… Could I have waited for the 15? Yes. Any regrets? Not at all. If you need or want a new iPhone now, go for the 14PM.

The 15 series should be the first iPhone to have the USB-C port which I would have waited for but I had a milestone birthday last year and I just didn’t want to wait..

I enjoy my 14PM very much.. I’m sure you’d enjoy either one.. 👍🏻

I have a refurbished iPhone 6S. Bought it in 2019 and I've been happy with it so far. Thinking of possibly upgrading.

What's the best iPhone that I could get now?

What's the best iPhone with no frills that I could get now?

I only use my phone's Wi-Fi, listen to iTunes, and I rarely use data or the camera.

Thank you.
