How far behind are you on the IPhone?
If you are not an iPhone user, maybe this thread isn’t for you
![]() I was calling someone and my coworker asks,” is that an 8?” Yup. I still have an iPhone 8. Fishing pics; my friends insist I use their phone for the picture. It is superior in the image dept. My battery barely makes it a day, so I think it’s time. Soon. Anyone have a 7? I think my crappy work phone is a six! Wait, no way it’s a six.

I finally upgraded to my old iPhone 6/7/8? for an iPhone 11 Pro Max a couple of years ago. It sounds huge, but isn’t. It’s about a 1/2” wider and 3/4” taller.

Just did the swap from 7 to 13. Battery forEVER.
Pro tip. We moved to TMobile at Costco. Our phones were mostly no cost after the rebate. Better plan. This is for 6 phones. Three were new. Cost to move was 180 I think? That is 50% of one phone. The deal was beyond stupidly good. And, no contract. |

Went from a 7 to a 12 mini last year. About the same size but much faster/better battery life. It took a little while to get used to it. Got a pretty good deal as I redid my plan at the same me...and the new plan is a lot cheaper./better.

Had a six s plus for years. Loved it, never a complaint. Working on boat one day, bent over and it fell out of my shirt pocket. Ka plunk! Icey clear winter lake water. And spent 45 minutes in 12 feet of fresh water before i mcgroobered it out with a spatula bungie corded to a gaffing hook.
Assumed it was dead, got in car and pink! Got a text! Drove to phone repair store, they popped the battery and left it in ultrasonic cleaner for a few dayz. Phone back and no more siri, no more face camera, weird busted things, turning off for no reason… Saw apple had a phone upgrade, got $650 from apple towards a new phone. Upgraded to the cheapest, the xr. Wish i had a nicer newer one but xr is phine. |

My personal iPhone is a 4. Yep, iphone 4.
I barely use it, since the battery does not hold much charge anymore. I use my company issued iPhone, which is an 11, recently upgraded from a 6. My wife has an xs, and my daughter an 11.

This thread probably isn't for me. My cell phone still has buttons. I miss my old Motorola Razr (first gen)...

11Pro, updated from a 6S Plus
I never thought I'd get used to the 6Plus's size after updating from a 5, but I did, and now the 11 Pro seems slightly petite, even effete.

12 ProMax. Not in a rush to upgrade, but I'm a power user and I can't live without it when out in the field for work. When the right deal comes along for a 13 ProMax, I'll pull the trigger.

iPhone SE, I really like my 8 but it was tired. The SE was an upgrade but the exact same size as the 8 and still had a home button that I like. Hopefully I'm good to go for a few more years

I have an iPhone 7. I retired my flip phone not too long ago. The 7 was my wife's and her Tesla told her it was too outdated to use with the car, so that necessitated a new phone for her and it being passed to me six or so months later. I barely use it.

an X, previous one was a 6. (watch is a 6)
I don't feel the need to get the latest model every time. My battery is getting weak, so maybe I'll get a new one soon.

I have an SE. No idea where that comes in the line. I'll update my phone as my Tesla requires it.
My son, a college student, had a six until last month. When he was complaining about his phone, I didn't realize how much he doesn't complain. His phone had only 16 GB storage. He didn't have enough storage to update his banking app (his complaint). His new phone has 256GB.

Upgraded to an 8 from a 6S just over a year ago. I liked the 6 better due to its more reasonable size. I still have the 6 in case the 8 meets a disasterous fate.

What does each new upgrade cost, and what does it gain ? I barely use my ATT giveaway phone that my wife got free when she upgraded her Samsung....although I am truly an old skool, analog man.

Not an iPhone user but suggest a minimum of 6S as that is the oldest model that supports iOS 15.x. There's a nasty security bug that is fixed in 15.x.
