The only ‘new’ feature that would excite me enough to buy an iPhone 15 is USB-C (www.youtube.com)

That seems like either I’m 100% satisfied with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I have reached my peak cell phone feature set, or the iPhone 15 just is not very enticing of a purchase, especially considering the considerable cost.

I’m upgrading, but mostly because I’ve got an 11 and the battery is starting to go. It also doesn’t have 5G, and a USB-C connection will be nice. I’m looking at the larger one, because I have big hands, so I like bigger phones.

If you have any interest in holding out another year or two a battery replacement would be much cheaper. If you’re looking forward to the upgrade then enjoy the new phone!

I also want a bigger screen. I play some Japanese mobile games that use the tiniest damn fonts that you can’t make larger, and I’m tired of squinting at itty bitty kanji.

Plus, to replace the battery, they’d have to also replace the back because the one time I had my phone out of its case to get my train pass to add money to it, and I dropped it and the glass back shattered.

Sounds legit to me. Hope it’s a great upgrade for you!

I think a lot of people misread my intentions on this post lol

I’d love to upgrade, but I think my phone is great still. Battery still lasts more than a day. I also like bigger phones, I use my phone like a PC, a lot of reading, writing and watching videos and stuff.

Bigger = better imo (at least for my use case)
