Yeah, I'm sure if you just upgrade every 3-4 years there's plenty that's been added that makes it worthwhile.

Most definitely. Phones are no longer really throw away devices. They’re full fledged little supercomputers in your pocket and they’re expensive as fuck.

Nobody upgrades their laptop or PC every year. Hell, the most important components like CPU, GPU, and RAM don’t even get new releases every year.

Phones are damn near as powerful today. Nobody but someone that is already pushing the most powerful flagships to the limit can or will take advantage of the incremental updates.

I’m 85% sure I’m going to get the 15. I’m upgrading from my XR so hopefully it’ll be pretty major for me.

Agree 3-4 cycle makes it feel amazing.

Also on an XR and just bought a 15 Pro.

The XR is still snappy. The battery only is at 80% of its original life, but otherwise it’s fine.

I’m very excited for the USB-C and wifi 6E. The rest I don’t care about, but I imagine I will be impressed by the speed when I get it.

I’m at 85% battery

I’m mostly excited about better battery, usb-c, and 5g cellular. Mag charging is interesting but I already have qi chargers all over the place.
