hi! so I don’t really take photos and videos, nor active in social media. probably running some games. i’m upgrading from an iphone 11 64gb and had just ran out of storage on its fifth year of use (just giving a picture of how i really don’t use phones for heavy tasks)

due to all reasons above i’m thinking about getting the 17e but I haven’t really seen great reviews about it. most would just suggest buying the base 17.

as for 16, i just thought of it because i can get the 512gb for a slightly less cheaper price than the base 17 256gb.

what do you guys think?

edit: adding a bit of context, i use the phone for work & personal. although i don’t use social media, i frequently play games (before running out of storage)

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and MacBook Air m1 8gb ram

Planning to upgrade to either iPhone 18 pro or MacBook Air m4

Both are showing a bit of their age , I can only upgrade one for now .

I’m looking to upgrade from my laggy phone because my current battery drains way too fast and stutters whenever I play Roblox or scroll social apps. I want a phone that I can keep for at least 6 years without performance lag, so I’m deciding between the iPhone 18 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. For anyone who uses these for long gaming sessions and daily multitasking, does the extra battery life, vapor chamber cooling, and long-term software support make the high price and heavy size worth it over the long haul?

Okay so i'm debating on trading my apple watch series 7 and get a series 12 cellular and gps for $420 after my student discount or should I get a iphone 18 pro max 256gb for $920.91 after trading my iphone 16 pro. My 16 pro has 88% battery health but I be charging it like 3 times a day since I use it so often. Like idk if I should spend the extra $500 and just get the new phone or wait for next years anniversary.

Hey guys! I’m thinking about upgrading from my iPhone 14 Plus to a Pro model, but I’m having trouble deciding which one to get.
Before my 14 Plus, I had an iPhone 12 Pro, and I really missed having a Pro model. I’m currently deciding between the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro, both with 512GB of storage. The 17 Pro is currently around €400–€500 cheaper than the 18 Pro, which makes it a pretty tempting option.
I’m sure either phone would be a significant upgrade from my current 14 Plus, but I’m wondering whether the 18 Pro is worth spending that much extra on, or whether I’d be better off saving some money and going for the 17 Pro.
For those of you who own a 17 Pro or are considering the 18 Pro, what would you recommend? Is the newer model worth the extra €400–€500, or would you go for the 17 Pro? I would like to keep the new for about 3-4 years before buying a new one again.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

If I was to switch my iPhone Air for the iPhone 18 pro Max or 18 pro, but I regret it. Yes, the battery sucks. Yeah, there’s one speaker. There’s one camera lens, but I don’t take hardly any pictures only like on a certain occasion and I don’t talk on my phone that much. I text more than anything and I listen to music here and there, but not much and it seems like after like a year or almost a year, it’ll be a year November 7 that the battery has to be charged like two times a day, but I just feel like if I went to the pro or pro Max that I definitely would regret it because that’s what people say. They say they go to the pro Max or pro and then they regretted it, so they went back to their air

hey guys, i have had an old ass samsung for over 6 years and im ready for an upgrade. i really want to change to apple but i have been having my concerns over which version to buy. the new 18 pro features do intrigue me a lot but also at the same time i dont think i could be feeling any difference from the 18 and the 17 pros. this is exactly why i wanted to ask more people abt which version i should go for and with the help of you guys finally decide what iphone i should buy.

you guys can nerd out about all the details you want ill read each and every single reply and make my final decision. since ill be keeping this new phone for over 5 years i really wanna be sure of my choices.

Simple question

Is buying Iphone 15 in 2026/27 worth it?

J’ai mon iPhone 13 depuis plus de 3 ans et la batterie commence à vraiment tirer la langue (75%), avec également beaucoup de surchauffe, des ralentissements et plus de stockage disponible.

Idéalement il me faut un bon appareil photo, au moins 256go de stockage et surtout une bonne batterie, un 0.5 serait également apprécié.
Je retrouve toutes ces caractéristiques dans l’iPhone 17 mais j’ai vu un 16e reconditionné en excellent état à 350€ tandis que le 17 vaut 700€, je me demande donc s’il est judicieux d’acheter le 17, et si il faut le faire maintenant ou bien attendre un peu.

My wife has the Series 3 for a long time and wants to upgrade to a newer one for a Christmas present. Which series would you recommend that has nice qol features and won’t be too expensive? I don’t see a need to get the brand new one, which she agrees in order to save some money. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

hellooo i’ve had the iphone 13 since 2022, and with all the newer iphones coming out it’s kinda dying on me… i want to upgrade but i don’t care about getting the newest phone. what the 16 be a smart option or should i just get the 17? or is there any other one that i could get? i’m not super well versed on apple lolollll

I currently have a 13 Pro that’s on its last leg and desperately need a new phone . M keyboard is not even working half the time and I do talk to text 90% of the time now :/

My question is when should I upgrade to the new pro as far as any deals happening soon since it’s the end of the year, I currently have Verizon, but if there’s another really good carrier, I’d consider it.

should i buy iphone 14 128gb 74% bh with few paint chips for $234? is this a good deal

EDIT
Got a better deal Iphone 15 256gb 87% bh for $296. Thanks everyone!

Hi all, I’ve had my iPhone 16 pro since it came out. It is a fantastic phone, however, in the last few months I’ve noticed decreased battery life, I have to charge it up to 3 times daily as the battery just seems to die even when I’m not using the phone (background apps, Bluetooth etc all turned off and battery capacity at 88%) I’ve also noticed the phone overheating and the phone just not processing as well, decreased speed, glitches and weird black screens, even my ringer being weird and echoing any notification that comes through.

So my question is, is it worth it to upgrade? Or do I just wait until this phone gets worse.

I’m located in Australia and I’m looking at this iphone but description says:

IMEI- 1 BLOCKED TO AU NETWORK,
Only IMEI -2 e-Sim works on Australian networks. However, when used overseas both the physical SIM and eSIM work perfectly.
Australian network blocked for physical sim. All genuine parts. Suitable for overseas use or eSIM only use in Australia, physical sim must be in the sim slot while activating the eSIM.

For anyone that knows a lot about iphones would you consider buying it or is it likely to be a headache and cause more problems down the track?

Upgrading my iphone 14 and wondering which model to go for. I'm most interested in more storage (256gb), better battery power, and better camera. I'd get all of this on both but it looks like better battery power on the 17 and better cam on the 16pro?

I'll be buying it refurbished & it's 730euro for the 17 or 901euro for the 16pro (both at 256GB with premium battery power and condition). I use it for work and personal use and I'd want it to last me 2-3 years.

Grateful for any input! Thanks

I got a few Magsafe accessories for my Iphone 18 Pro Max and thought I'd share what I went with.

PopSockets Low-Pro: I've tried a few phone grips before including the OhSnap Grip 5 but I still prefer the feel of having my fingers around a circular grip. The Low-Pro is really is really thin when folded-down, so it's barely feels like theres anything attached to the back of my phone. It also feels pretty stable and comfortable to hold when opened. The OhSnap has a more flexible design but I find the PopSockets more comfortable to grip. My only complaint is that the Low-Pro can be a little tricky to open at first.

LORZOR SlimMag: This wallet holds 4-5 cards, which doesn't add much bulk to the back of my phone. I also like the pop-up design because I can slide a card out from the side without the phone getting in the way. That's basically all I want from a MagSafe wallet.

Anker MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro: This is the 10,000mAh version with a built-in cooling fan. I've used UGREEN power banks before, including their liquid-cooled model. UGREEN is still worth it considering if you're on a budget, but I think Anker has the edge when it comes to build quality.

Hello people I was hoping I can get some advice here to see what is my best course of action
As of recently my IPhone 12(Had since 2021) has been much more slower and cutting my battery life to about 65%
But unfortunately since my phone does have a few cracks it would cost even more to replace the battery life and the case(Costing 300$ in total)
Since I am going to get a new phone but it’s gonna be next year and I don’t think I can’t handle with my phone but I don’t want my parents to see me just buying a new phone straight up of nowhere since they can tell lmao and since my older sister also has the exact same model and would kill me if I get a newer phone than here
Money isn’t the issue here(Well maybe my range is around 300$)
So should I go with the fixes or should I just buy an refurbished IPhone 13 or 14 from Best Buy
Just like anything that resembles an IPhone 12 just to keep me sane at least until I get my later iPhone
Any advice?
