What’s the point of returning now? You’ve already paid for it and you’ll just be spending more unnecessary money. Just keep it and upgrade when you feel like you need to.

Well you had a 14 pro max.. why did you update? It has only been one year they can not surprise you every year with huge improvements

The “wow” factor is behind us. Market is mature now. Keep your phone for 5 years and upgrade. And even then it’s probably not gonna be “wow” unless there is some major new thing coming. Improvements yeah, but I kinda doubt that it’s gonna be “wow”. My iPhone XS was released 5 years ago and although new phones are much better in all domains, I’m pretty sure that if I upgrade it’s not really gonna be a “wow” effect

I just want my snappy keyboard back it is very laggy still and also I want them to fix the Wi-Fi band issues

Another thing you can take into account is:it’s not the phone itself,it’s Yourself,as you get older,you might think differently like when you were a kid,being to the playground is a big thing ,and do you feel the same now?3gs -15pro,how many years?you think more logically and just admit it:YOU ARE GETTING OLD🤣

I’m the same way. Upgrade every year because I love tech and thankfully can do so, but I feel smartphones have peaked. I have the 15 Pro as well and I think I’m good for 2-3 years now. There’s just no justification on a yearly cycle anymore. How much faster can the phone get? How better can the camera get? It’s overkill.

Get the mini, it's a breath of fresh air, rocked the 12 mini, and now the 13 mini. It's liberating AF.

I used to be a yearly upgrader too. I think my iPhone X and then 12 mini were my first multi-year phones. Currently have a 14 Pro right now. Other than the battery life starting to suffer a bit, it still works like a champ.

I think the only thing at the moment that can get me to upgrade is if the iPhone ever offers proper external display and stage manager support. I think I might even sell my MacBook then too and use my iPhone as my only device. I'd probably also get something like a NexDock to use it as a laptop as well. One device for everything is my digital dream, anyway.

I'd say keep your 15 Pro as long as you can. Next year, even the year after probably won't be significant upgrades. Maybe change out your phone case (if you use one), customize it with a MagSafe wallet (or something else), rearrange your Home Screen, anything to keep it interesting and fresh. A slightly faster processor, maybe a better camera won't really do anything for you at the software level. Arguably, USB-C is worth the upgrade for some people - I'd partially benefit from it, but I have so many other lightning accessories, in addition to my wife's iPhone and accessories, I'd have to carry around two cables for a while anyway.

Keep it. You already paid for it. Dont buy another one for 3-5 years. Don’t give in to the hype. I just went from a X to a 14. Big boost in performance and battery life.

You don’t need to upgrade every year anymore.
