Reply to iPhone 14 Pro - is it worth it? by alpha-centori

I went from the 11 pro to the 14 pro, and while there was nothing wrong with my 11 pro and it’s a great phone, I really do love the 14 pro. I have the Otterbox symmetry case and honestly the camera wobble isn’t something I usually notice.

USB-C will be cool, I'm sure, but having a lightning port over USB-C doesn't seem to affect my life much as is, so I'm not dying for that update like some of my friends are. The better battery life and thermal management is a pro for sure!

I'm with T-Mobile and I did look into it, the way I'd be upgrading would technically be a 2 year carrier commitment. My phone plan (not the phone cost itself) is the last thing my parents help me out with, so I'm fine with that. And as long as the phone is 50% paid off (12 months in), I'm able to upgrade to another model should I wish.

If I hadn't broken my current phone, I wouldn't be upgrading at all until the phone completely died and I couldn't replace it. But all things being said, it sounds like I might as well just do it now? From what you're saying, it sounds like the 16 might not be the best purchase right off the bat, so I'd be wanting my 2020 phone to last to 2025. Are we trusting Apple to not slowly kill off their devices to push people towards upgrading yet? Either way, at that point, I wouldn't be able to get the most possible towards an upgrade (usually that tier is reserved for phones 3 years old or newer). Versus if I upgrade now to the 14, I could upgrade again at the 17 or whatever they call it I can still get the full amount possible both times and avoid the 16 model
