Time for a new iPhone - (4 Viewers)

[Klimtology]

Hey I'm looking to upgrade my iPhone 7plus to the latest version 17 pro max.

Anyone know of any good deals? I'm thinking Verizon.

I've been very happy with my 7 + but it's time.

TIA

Is the 7 the flip phone?

That's like going from an Atari to a PlayStation. Ha ha

When I upgraded from the 6 to the 12, my daughter’s friend said something pretty darn funny. “When you can multiply your phone by 2, yea it’s time for a new one”. With full 13 year old eye rolls

Well done @Klimtology

Bro g completely honest and sincere here - any upgrade you make to any iPhone being sold today will be a HUGE improvement for you. If you’re looking for a deal. Upgrade to the cheapest new iPhone you can find. Last year I upgraded from the iPhone SE (still had a button below screen) to a regular 15 and it was night and day.

My parents visited this past weekend. My dad, 71 years old, doesn't even have a phone. Does anyone even know anybody that doesn't have a phone?

Had to think but yea I do, my 80 year old brother. My 80 year old mother-in-law has one but probably shouldn't. We have to instruct her how to send a picture every time she attempts to send one.

I went from an 8 to a 16 earlier this year. The only real difference I notice is the battery life and the camera is better.

If it weren’t for my firm telling me I need the latest iOS if I want to use my phone for work I would have just replaced the battery.

My Aunt has a landline but has never owned a cell phone - and in her 80s now, never will.

I think T-Mobile is still giving away free iPhones (two year plan). This was for the 16...not sure if they will be giving away free 17s.

@Village Idiot

But to be fair, he might be your dad

You should invest in AAPL

Sometimes I wish my dad didn't have a smartphone

I have a 14 Pro Max and am debating whether to do it this year, or wait one more. My battery capacity is 83% and the lightning port is very sensitive to keeping the plug inserted for charging and sometimes I think it is charging, but ends up not actually charging.

Who's your internet provider?

I have Spectrum for internet and had T-Mobile for mobile. Since I had Spectrum, I could get cell service for free (or $10/mo for their upgrade anytime plan) and it was just the monthly cost of the phone. The downside is locked into the phone for 3 years, while the mobile plan is good for 2 years. Still saving $30/mo over T-Mobile.

This has happened to my iPhone quite recently. Drives me nuts because I use wired earbuds and when I try to put the phone in my pocket to go on walks for exercise, 9 times out of 10 it gets jostled and disconnects. I think I'm still paying this sucker off, too... so probably not in a position for a new one just yet.

Yep. A friend of mine I grew up with refuses to get one. Early 50s

My parents (mom 74 years old/dad 79 years old) do not have iPhones. My second PhD is csc. It still blows my mind that there are many people out there just not interested in technology..

By far the youngest example mentioned.

I’m pretty sure he’ll never get one

You are limiting your new phone choices to one manufacturer why?
