I’m using the iPhone SE from 2020. It was a similar upgrade from the iPhone 7 I had previously. My next phone will likely be the 14 or the 15, a huge upgrade for me.

Dude for real. I actually read the article, what a waste of time that was. Absolutely nothing insightful. “Not everyone needs the newest tech.” Duh, you lazy dipshit journalist. I’m going back to going straight to the comments for a while.
You don’t need Phone Brand N. But if you’re on Phone Brand N-6 then Phone Brand N would be a great upgrade
I was N-5. I love my iPhone N.
You don’t need to own any phone but it’d be a lot cooler if you did.
I hit the sweet spot on this upgrade, coming from 12 Pro to 15 Pro. I love the LOG video option, and USB-C is really nice because ive slowly converted everything I own over to USB-C.
The fact of the matter is, all phones are amazing now.
For real! I went from a 12 Pro to 15 Pro max and it’s been very nice so far. I went about two days between charging my phone this weekend which is pretty insane.
He doesn’t mention that the biggest upgrade between the 8 and the 13 is all day battery life. When I made a similar move – I think I went from the 6S to the XR – that was the biggest deal. And I don’t mean going from an old battery to a new one – when both were new the XR lasted almost two days and the 6S maybe until 5PM. I always had to charge it mid-day. By the time the battery was older, I had to put it on the charger whenever I wasn’t using it. If I remember correctly, the big jump in battery life was the XR, the iPhone 7 and 8 were similarly short on battery. And the 11 and up all have plenty.
Too late. Jason Bateman already interrupted my kid’s birthday party and convinced me to drop what I was doing and buy one.
Well you don’t really need any tech besides fire
But titanium-from SPACE!
I had a iPhone 6 till the point it was on its last leg then got a 11 pro one month after it launched. My iPhone 11 Pro still works brand new. I am not upgrading for a long time.
iPhone haters really don’t need to keep rippin on iPhone. People buy iPhones because they like it and can afford it with their disposable income.
Lol. Most of them are purchased on credit.
Im still using an iPhone 6.
It’s how I’m typing this right now.
Seems like common sense.
I’m more curious what the point of this article is. Because the people that are going to buy an iPhone 15, likely aren’t going to be persuaded by someone telling them no you don’t need it.
it was never about the new phone, its a social status to show you can afford to get new things. Clothes, shoes, cars, purse whatever… its the same
I upgraded from the 14 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max. Solely because I’m tired of buying new phones and want to just be future proof for the next five or so years. Will that happen? Up to Apple, sadly, but usb c is a big step towards that.
I absolutely did not need it though, and anytime one of my friends asks “did you really need that?” I respond with “Nope.”
