Upgrade when your current one stops working. Plain and simple. Depending on how your up keep is, it may last 2 years or almost 10 years. Either way, it’s a great money saver, and let’s you stick with something you know for longer.

Yeah, I say 2-4 years is a good timeframe to at least consider upgrading. My 2 year old XS max is working fine except for connectivity issues. So I will be upgrading to an iPhone 12. But my son’s phone is older than mine, but still works fine with no issues, so he won’t upgrade.

Probably, for instance I have an iphone 5s which realest in 2013 with ios 7 , today in 2021 its a really great working phone running ios 12 and supporting more than 7 years , it still runs the most app in the app store without exception.however its a little bit slower than usual phones nowdays. I will be upgrading my phone maybe for the next year to iphone se2 which is really affordable and well supported for at least 5 years later.

Paid off an iPhone X 256 gb in February just to turn around in April to resign a new lease for an iPhone 11 Pro Max 256 gb. Nothing was wrong with my iPhone X I’m someone who takes care of their phone, my point is I paid off a phone just to turn around a pay for another phone that did the same thing because I just had to have it because everyone around me was getting one. Honestly I liked my iPhone X better but believe me when I say I’m not upgrading until this phone completely falls all the way apart, I don’t care if I have the cash one day to buy one straight out I’m not upgrading again until my phone is on its last leg! Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ learning to make better decisions! Great video

Anyway, when you trade in your old phone for money off a new one, any retailer will give you a bigger discount for a working phone compared to a faulty one or one that doesn’t work at all.

I upgraded to iPhone 11 Pro from 8 plus in fall of 2019 and it seems to get better with each iOS update. Feels just as snappy as day one and the camera software feels like it’s improving. If this trend continues, the next time I need an upgrade I will stick with Apple because they do seem to care about the longevity of their devices. I’ll hold onto this phone as long as I can because I don’t think they’ll make this size again 😅

I have been using XR for almost three years now. I was tempted to upgrade my phone many many times every time I heard people talking about the new iPhones. Also, because I only got 64 GB on this device. It seemed fair to upgrade. However, after deep consideration, I think I don’t need to upgrade just yet. The new iPhones are no big difference from my old one when it comes to design. The cameras are also not that different. And about 64 GB storage, I think that keeps me in a healthy habit of being selective of what is worth keeping on my phone ( pictures, videos, and apps) and what not. The more storage I have, the crowded my files will be, for I wouldn’t mind keeping all the pics, videos and apps with the big storage I have. In the end, it will make me want more. Not healthy. Thanks for this video.

Great video Scott. I remember watching your original video you posted about upgrading your phone. I used to be the same person who had to have the latest and greatest phone but after watching the original video I decided to keep my phone and not upgrade. Had the iPhone X for almost 3 years and only issue is the battery is bad now but easily fixed with a battery replacement. New battery for me £45 or new handset £1000. It’s a no brainer. The amount of people who think as soon as the battery plays up they need to upgrade the phone and don’t think about a simple battery replacement.

It’s nice knowing I don’t have a bill coming out each month for the handset as was paid off in May.

I'm basically where devices go to die. I buy year (or more) old tech at deep discounts and use them till I can't repair them anymore or they become so slow that they hamper overall usability. I still use a monitor from 2005 today in 2020. It's still a very usable display that's still chugging along. The only issue I've had with it was having to replace a blown capacitor on the motherboard back in 2017, $3 part and a few hours of work to dismantle, figure out the problem and replace the capacitor. I hate the trend of disposable tech that everyone seems to adopt now. Did you manage locate your balls, or are they still MIA? She hid them well huh. 👀🤣

But one thing I really despise about most flagships nowadays is the lack of a headphone jack and the lack of a microSD slot. I just feel like I'd be a bit disappointed to not have those features, but I don't think the'll bring those back unfortunately

I bought an iPhone 6s as my first phone in September 2018. I bought that phone because it was cheaper than the newer models but I'm currently regretting that choice. As of currently, I am still using it. It is having some major battery problems: If I don't plug it in while I'm using it, it powers off. And when I turn it back on, it's at 10%. It doesn't matter if I was using it when it was 100%, it always does that. And before that started happening, the battery life would go from 100% to 10% in about a good 15 minutes of active use. I also have 32 GB of storage, so I'm always going to my files and deleting a bunch of stuff for more room. It's also been kind of slow... It's also really outdated. I have been thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 11, but I'm not sure. I don't have a job and I'm about to graduate high school and go to college, so it's not like I have a steady income. I feel like I should just buy a new battery and wait another year or so.

I would say the answer is when the iOS upgrade is not supported or before then just a bit. Mine won't take iOS 16 though still works on the latest software. I actually don't like technology that much I mean I do and use it though I am not a fanatic of it like some people are. If your phone does what it needs to for what you want and also need of course you can stick with it. There are some security concerns with older iOS so they say because hackers can keep up and know how to get into your phone. They can hack an older iOS system more easily so your phone may be at more risk. Nevertheless they eventually learn how to hack the new iOS and then they have to replace it again. This is always going on with my phone. I don't get hacked though the warnings come. First one version they say is easily hackable so they do an upgrade and this goes on to yet another one for the same reasons. So the iOS upgrades enable more virus and hack-proof software yet the hackers learn how to keep up. This way in another few years iOS 16 will be replaced with another one. If not in one or two or so

Phones are just tools to make your life easier. Do I need 3 lenses on my phone? No. I can take some decent photos with one lens and focusing on using natural light etc. Do I need the fastest processor? No. I’m not running intensive apps on my phone. I still use a 1st gen SE because it does what I need it to do-reminders, podcasts, music, messaging, email etc. I’m not a big gamer, but any games I do have live on my iPad Pro. Watching content too obviously makes more sense on the iPad. This really frees up the phone. There’s no point overloading your phone with apps you don’t need or never use. Have the key things-exercise apps, banking apps, communication apps, music apps, news apps. Lose everything else. Thinking like this has made the 32gb model work for me-iCloud storage really helps to free up that physical space. With iOS 14 support for the 1st gen SE (which it handles surprisingly well) the phone will be running the latest iOS until September 2021. As most app developers support the latest and penultimate software releases at least, this will mean the 1st gen SE will run all apps until maybe iOS 16 beta period in Summer 2022. That’s six years of usage from new. Great video-more people should just have a think about their own usage-can save so much money, whilst developing more of a sensible relationship with technology

Another thing is just because the new phone comes or maybe your 2 generations behind like I am right now I have the 11 doesn’t mean what you have is bad all of a sudden. My iPhone 11 is still a pretty great phone. Sure it doesn’t have 5G or an OLED display but it’s still has 98% of what the 13 does. Why would I want to upgrade to pretty much the same phone.

I'm very practical and always think over things a thousand times before spending. Lol! It's 2022 and I'm still using an iphone 6 which is still working perfectly fine (for me); at least still serving its general purpose as a mobile phone.. Bumped onto your video because I was searching WHEN is the tbest ime to buy a new iphone 🤭 I was planning to upgrade two years ago but covid happened. Covid hindered me from making unnecessary spending 😅 now will probably wait longer for iphone 14 or will buy iphone 13 if I got impatient 😁😬 so should I wait for the new iphone or get the latest iphone available in the market now?

I did buy the iPhone X new, why? Because my old phone (a 5c) was too old, couldn't update apps anymore, batterylife was so bad, not enough storage etc. My iPhone X still works fine, its the 256gb, way more than i would ever need, but it was the only device they had in the shop so i just bought it, there was an action in the store and the phone was 10 percent off. Now 3 years later, i replaced the battery because it was becoming terrible, but i still use this phone, i don't need to upgrade any time soon! I still use my iPad 3, people tell me it is a dinosaur, but it works for me, i just use it for emails and some facebook from time to time, it still works just fine, i don't care about the newest ipad pro, and they are way worse because they bend so easely. My macbook pro is from 2012 (retina) and this macbook just works fine, bought it very cheaply because there was a blemish on the screen, a small piece of the top poloriser was missing, i glued a small piece back in place and you don't even see it, only if you pay attention to it, and past week, i found a perfectly working white macbook in the trash, its the 2010 model, which can unofficially be upgraded to catalina, which is more than enough . . . I hate when people throw away perfectly working devices! And the iPhone X is the only device i bought new back in the day, i don't want a new phone, you can imagine how long i have used my 5c ;)

Recently watched reviews between my Xs max Vs equivalent 11 and realised that the gain is only slight, so plan on hanging on to my tech for a while now. When time comes to change I’ll most likely only change in small increments and not the very latest most expensive phone....rare but a lesson learnt for me 👍

I bought the iPhone 12 Pro bc my 7+ was only 32GB and I was starting to use it more for productivity. The limited space made it hard to keep all my apps downloaded so I upgraded. Granted, I only did this because I knew I could fully pay it off in 3 months time as I had saved several hundred prior to buying it.

The major reasons for upgrade could be price, higher storage, battery life or higher camera or display features. I recommend that people with iphone 10 above need not upgrade to iphone 12 or iphone 12 pro max even if it has better camera, unless its a significant upgrade from below iphone 10 models. Since 5G network is being introduced for the 1st time it consumes more battery, if you can wait until next year September, the Iphone 13 and iphone 13 pro max would come with higher battery life and higher refresh rate of 120 hertz. or even the same one is fine if it still works pretty good.

I spend a lot of time mainly watching KZbin on the go and at work, I was debating to upgrade my phone or just change the battery,, Think I will just get a new battery this time, after many years of upgrading too the next iPhone is always exciting but when out of the box I then realise it did the same thing as the old and left feeling a little disappointed each time.
