My always advice is: Wait as long as you possible can to upgrade, then buy the best possible upgrade you can, and keep it as long as you can - enjoy the hell out of it - because there’ll always be something new and something next
And that’s truer now for phones than it’s ever been before. Because phones just aren’t rapidly changing, always experimenting, bleeding edge nerd-bait sci-fi any more. They’re fully matured and mainstream.
Just look at all the hotter-than-hot takes that have been pouring in lately, from the Galaxy Fold 4 to the iPhone 14 to the Pixel 7 - spec bumps and a few new features aside, this years models are nigh-indistinguishable from last year’s. I mean, forget S-models, they’re basically being called rev B hardware.
The designs have reached a point where they’re platonic, if not always iconic. Like a Porsche or Rolex or Mont Blanc… or, you get the idea.
So... should you upgrade now or should you wait for next?

@@YourreelmemoriesAu I had to charge my XR many times a day, this new phone is nearly double in terms of battery longevity throughout the day. Since my XR had low battery health, it’s more noticeable. And the screen is significantly better, and 5g is quicker. That being said, no one needs a new phone. We could all have flip phones and be fine, even. I’m glad you’re still enjoying your XR.

I love your take on when to upgrade. It actually is the best way to enjoy the tech we have, without the anxiety or FOMO setting in 🤦🏿‍♂️😂. It really is best to wait 3+ years, before you upgrade your smartphone, because of the things you mentioned in this video. I'm a tech nerd too, and enjoy having the latest technology to play with. But my 13 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro, will suffice me for a couple years. Maybe more. Now I watch tech videos to compare my "older tech" to the newer ones coming out this year, and you realize I'm wasting money upgrading so frequently. Just enjoy what you have, save some money up, and then do it again in a few years. Disregard if you're rich, and money is no object. Just pass the old phone on to someone else and save the planet 😎

@ajjono Год назад

Same, as a nerd I'd rather spend the money on something like an ultra and hold that for years to come. When I finally upgrade the phone the difference will be substantially. I'd hate to trade in a flagship phone too early only to not see a massive difference. having to wait years and years again for the chance too

@rustychain9518 Год назад

My upgrade schedule is dictated by what phones no longer get the current iOS. I give mine and my wife’s old phones to family members and I keep one spare so this year I replaced my wife’s iPhone 11 with an iPhone 14 ProMax and gave her iPhone 11 to her mom who was using an iPhone 7.

@XalphYT Год назад

I was using an iPhone 6 until a month or so ago, and it was two or three years off the upgrade path. It was surprisingly usable, despite newer software not being available. The old versions continued to work.

@WineWorldTV Год назад

Still rocking the X as my daily. Changed the battery last March and it's still at 98% Max Capacity. 11 Pro as my main camera. I only have video/photography apps on it so I have lots of capacity. I don't even "keep originals" for any pics/videos in the library and definitely no music at all. Yeah, all the new features are cool and all, but I don't have a NEED for them. I used to automatically upgrade every 2 years, but things change and I don't have the disposable income to constantly upgrade. Like you said, the features I am waiting for will eventually happen, and guess what, I'll still rock the X as my daily until I can't update the software anymore.

@RawliglatX Год назад

Coming from an iPhone 11 pro, I haven't seen too much improvement to justify a switch to the 12/13 pro (tho 120Hz and Battery have been tempting - just not enough justification) The one thing I was hoping to convince me was the USB-C, but it never came. But I noticed I used wireless charging quite often, (only hassle being that it didn't stick and let me use the phone conveniently while charging) but with magsafe USB-C isn't too much of a dealbreaker for me. Recently "lost" my 11 pro and currently on an iPhone 7, so decided to by the 14, 15 would be pretty difficult to justify (over 13/14)

@TimothyLeeClark Год назад

I have normal iPhone 13 256. My previous iPhone was Xs Max 512. I was kinda tired of having the biggest phone and also when the notch became bit narrower and the battery life got really better. That's why I did change it to having a perfectly balanced phone for me. Now I'm gonna wait for the iPhone 17.

@abhishekdhiman1157 Год назад

Thank you. I totally agree with all the points you mentioned. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus. It looks out-dated (camera is old, huge chin and forehead, smaller battery, 60 hz display, 64gb inbuilt memory) but still does the job above average if not per latest and greatest standards. Time by time I get tempted to upgrade to the latest phone in the market, but I can't justify the huge cost of upgrading when my current phone isn't broken (not even a single scratch without any screen protector). Planning to use it for 1 more year (total 5 years) and then will finally upgrade.

@phatpurrly Год назад

@JamesDGarland Год назад

Upgraded from the XR to the 14 Pro Max. However, I sent it back today. Not that is wasn’t a great phone all around, but it’s still just an iPhone. My phone still runs great, albeit not as fast and not as on point photo wise, but still gets the job done consistently, all while running the same OS. it’s easy to get caught up in all this shiny new technology, but has Apple really done enough to warrant our hard earned money year over year? They make very slight variations from one year to the next and expertly market it as must have upgrades. I miss true innovation from a lot of these companies, but there’s only so much you can do before the ceiling has been hit. Unless you desperately need one of the slight variations in updates, then just keep your existing phone until you truly need another one.

@Shumittsu Год назад

100% agree. I switched from to the X to the 13 Mini and it’s a great phone but it’s still just the same. I gave the X to my Mom because her phone broke and I didn’t want her to spend money on a new one so if it wouldn’t be for that I would still rock the X. Replacing the battery usually makes the phone feel brand new.

@macdizzlefoshizzle Год назад

I just upgraded to a 13 Pro from an 11. My reasoning for not choosing the 14 Pro? Because the 13 Pro is 90% of what the 14 Pro is and $200 cheaper than it’s original retail price just 2 weeks ago at Costco. Also, the 13’s notch is out of the way when it comes to viewing most video content whereas the 14’s DI is lower and (currently) in the way of everything. Plus the interactive nature of the 14’s DI means you’ll have to stretch your fingers to the top of the phone more often than before. Little things like this add up and I figured this 13 Pro will still be receiving updates 5 years from now and still run great so why not save money and still have a great phone that can do most of what the 14 Pro can do? So far I’m very happy with my decision and I hope whichever phone you all pick is right for you too. Cheers!

This is so true, not only for phones but also the Apple Watch. Ultra aside, the last redesign of the Apple Watch was with the Series 4, which is the one I still have. From the features released since then, I really only miss always-on display. I am waiting for Apple to do the rumored square redesign on the Series lineup to upgrade or to get any exciting feature. The Series 8 this year was the perfect example with the new temperature sensor, so many opportunities there and Apple chose to release a feature for basically female only; they could have easily also included a fever warning/detection which would be available to everyone but I guess they will present it next year as a WatchOS feature or something like that…

@bobdeadbeef Год назад

I’ve had an iPhone 13 Pro Max a few months ago, and expected to keep it a few years as usual. But the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a few features that have me seriously considering in immediate upgrade. With my health issues, the satellite emergency communication is interesting. It’s why my watches have had cell connectivity. Crash detection adds to that benefit. The camera is a definite draw, and the brighter display adds to that for any outdoor photography, where not being able to see the screen as I try to adjust the controls has been a problem. But in the past, I have held onto phones until the battery life faded to intolerance, and the feature sets of new phones haven’t been enough to justify the work of switching. Battery life is now longer to begin with, so the fade over time doesn’t become critical so quickly. It is unusual for a new model’s feature set to hit my particular issues. In general, I recommend keeping an old phone until it either ages, software updates cease, or the accumulated feature advances become compelling.

Hard agree. From a pure device level, anything less than 2 years is pretty tough to justify... and even 2 years can still be a very marginal improvement, depending on what you have and what's new in the moment. I'm on a 2 year "bring it back" plan with my carrier, so when my 13 Pro Max hits 2 years old, I'll have to decide if I want to buy it out and keep it, or give it back and get the 15 Pro Max (Ultra?). Given how happy I am with the 13 Pro Max, I'd have to think pretty hard about trading it in. Maybe some combination of USB-C and a big jump in camera performance could make it worth it?

@Kinsella217 Год назад

Thank you for this moment of sanity.

I’m still rocking an iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 16. I’ve yet to upgrade, but I did upgrade my iPad Air 2 last year. Had it for 7 years and finally updated to the 12.9 inch iPad Pro with M1. *MASSIVE* difference… Try to keep your devices for as long as possible.

I have an unfunctioning phone (pretty battered, doesnt charge properly..) and it's the s20, which is the best phone I have ever owned.. was wondering if I should upgrade to the iphone 14? Or just the cheaper 13? Can wait a bit longer, and maybe get the s23 when it releases. What are your thoughts?

@zacthegamer6145 Год назад

Get iPhone 14 and don't worry about Samsung. I have Galaxy Fold 3 but will be switching back to Apple next year.

I upgraded my iPhone 8+ to 14 256GB for $200 up front all in…I don’t mind it not being pro version for what I paid for (internal of 14 is equivalent to 13 pro). I’ll wait to see more polished pro version before committing… 😊

Personally, I think that the end of security updates for a device should be the beginning of a new device purchase. Unfortunately, I have not followed this “rule”, but I’m really trying to 😞 . I’m going to try really hard to keep my 13 Pro Max until iOS 20 is released.

@oldbeatlemaniafandave Год назад

Another excellent video, very interesting and informative. I’m upgrading from my pro max 11 to the 14 pro max. A lot of technology improvements over three years. Keep the awesome videos coming and take care all the best😊

@videosight1 Год назад

11 Pro Max to 14 is NOT huge upgrade. 11 pro max made like Camry does not dim under load or throttle as much. Plus more comfortable in reality, can use it for 5 more years really. XR is great now even so imagine the 11 pro max

@mcul3474 Год назад

11 to 14 is not a big upgrade at all. You've just convinced yourself that so you don't feel terrible for having wasted a bunch of money on nothing.

@archimedes2261 Год назад

You come from a year where you can really appreciate the design difference, I have 13 pro Max and it puts my note 10+ the previous King 👑 of all smartphones to shame 😆

@jaywright9635 Год назад

@@mcul3474 for some people, 3 years is a long time, to wait for an upgrade. Especially if you consider yourself a tech enthusiast and love smartphones. Although 3 year gap in technology is not a HUGE upgrade, it is pretty substantial and noticeable, and thus may be enough to warrant an upgrade.

Upgraded week ago from iPhone SE (2016) to a iPhone 14 Pro ..talk about a leap! That SE had its original battery, it started to be scary, i was afraid it was going to blow up, heated just by having its display on, battery percentage went down just by looking it funnily etc LOL

@johnnysluck3052 Год назад

This guy is absolutely right I just had my battery swapped on my iPhone 11 pro I love that phone

@Milos596 Год назад

I would be perfectly happy with 14 plus. If only it has usb-c, i would pre-order it right away. But i have to wait for 15 plus than.

@lancer1993 Год назад

I've got an 11 (non Pro) had 3 years so was due something new, but just knowing USB-C is to the 15 I decided to wait, but I did get a new iPhone... 11 Pro. yes for about 40% of the cost I got a 11 Pro from a refurbishment site, should get here this week. I know its a reletively minor bump, just a better screen and extra camera lens is about it but it will be nice and I will have 2 options to trade on the 15 pro in 12 months.

@Shumittsu Год назад

I’m sorry but what do you expect from this “upgrade”? They have the same processor and the same amount of ram? Is just the display and a camera lens worth the upgrade? 🥴

@Varnzy20 Год назад

You nailed it. All the “don’t upgrade “ videos seem to target those who have last years model. My wife and I had iPhone XS Max’s so these 14’s are amazing to us.

Rene, Prince actually laid down the song for your video years ago. I have been caught several times walking through the house, slowly waving my Deep Purple 14 Pro Max over my head side to side, while singing to the tune of Purple Rain. I encourage everyone to sing with me now. “Honey, I know, I know times are changing. It’s time we all reach out for the new, that means you too! You say you want a new iphone, but you can’t seem to make up your mind. I think you better close it, and let me guide you, to the Purple Phone.” (Raise your hands with me now and wave back and forth and SING!) “Purple phone, Purple phone yeah…” 😂 (You can keep singing if you want cause I know you guys did!) I upgraded from 11 Pro Max and love my new phone!

@rachellight1186 Год назад

I've only upgraded to the new S22+ cause I had worn out my old phone so didn't really have choice. It is actually way better than my old phone with having better sound quality \volume which is helps with my hearing issues.

@RonnieRockafella Год назад

I prefer the notch over pill cutout solely due to the location, apple should of put the cutout at the top of the screen and still could of had dynamic island without wasting screen space, there is no reason to have that wasted space at the top just for people couldn't call it a notch 2.0

I have an iPhone 8. It’s my personal phone and I wait iPhone 15, because my MacBook, iPad Pro and Samsung all have usb-c. I don’t want to have another hardware without it, it will annoy me so much to continue to use the lightning port.

@ickess Год назад

I’ve got a 12. Still have a lot of payments too so really have no choice to wait. That being said if you wait till the 15 the question will be do you wait for the 16? Edit* my last phone was an iPhone 7. I keep them until I have to move on.

Lovin’ my ‘13 Mini’, so l’ll take a miss on the ‘14’. Now if the ‘rumoured’ specs of the ‘15’ hold true, I might just pull the trigger on that release, if however it is just another iPhone with mediocre upgrades, then I’ll likely pass.

Finally upgraded from 7+ iPhone to a 14 Pro Max!! It isn’t as big as I was expecting with all the comments about the size. What I was surprised about is the weight. Caught me off guard when I picked it up. It feels like a denser weight - slightly heavier.
