My first iPhone was an iPhone 6. No iPhone since then has added any feature appealing enough for me to upgrade unwillingly.

Whenever it's time to put my old phone out to pasture because (and only because) it's at a point that it's too broken to use or be reliable: I let my wife get whatever the latest iPhone is and I take her old one which lasts me a few years easily.

I could tell that the salespeople at the Apple store were rolling their eyes at each other when I asked for a 13 mini a month ago. And I am sorry but I don't care about the latest, huge honking phones. Just gimme a smaller one where I can access my banking app and my train planning/ticket app and I am good to go! I am hoping that this holds up as well as my SE. If I can get 3 or 4 or even 5 years out of it, I will be happy enough.

None of the staff at the Apple store care what you’re buying. Hell, many of them probably personally prefer a smaller phone and virtually all of them at least understand that others do.

Praying for iPhone 16 mini but seems like a long shot, will just have to keep buying them up on Facebook Marketplace

I don’t want to give up my SE bc of the button.

I recently upgraded from an SE to the 15 Pro. I think the two things I like are the upgraded cameras and the high refresh rate display. Definitely worth the upgrade but I’m paying for so many things I don’t need.

The main reason I am salivating after the 15 series is they finally got rid of the abominable mute switch. Other than that I am hunkering down to spend at least 5 more years with the 13 Pro Max.

The 15 Pro weighs double and the cameras make it huge, I couldn't make that change.
