To upgrade or not?

[Anonymous 1]

I have the iPhone 7+ going on 3 years now. It’s in immaculate condition because I keep it in a case.

The only issue I have with it is battery life, and I did take advantage of the discounted battery lawsuit and did get another battery about a year ago. It’s annoying but nothing that makes me want to throw the phone across the room

I’m tempted to upgrade to the 11, not the pro or the max but I’m still on the fence about it because this phone is still fine.

With trade it looks like, before taxes, the phone will be $550. Financially I can do that but at the same time it sure seems like throwing away a decent chunk of money to replace a phone that still works perfectly.


So if you’re bored and looking to help please give your opinion on what I should do.

I've had the same phone for several years and have no plans to upgrade for a while so I'm not going to be the best person for this one. LOL I'm all about saving money instead of spending it..especially with the cost of phones these days.

I’d just replace the battery again. You can get a kit for like $30 or find phone repair shops that will do it for just a bit more. If you don’t really care that much about upgrading for new features, why spend the money for a new phone?

Even with a brand spanking new battery it wouldn’t last very long. I think it just normal so to speak for an older phone to suck when it gets older battery wise.

I am leaning towards keeping this one, there really is nothing on the new one that makes me want to rush out and buy it.

I usually replace my phone every 2 years but I'm slacking with this one. I will upgrade in March just because I want a new one. If you're happy with it then f**k everyone else.

I voted the 3rd one. Just because it was funny. I would keep the phone and save the $.

I have a bad habit of upgrading my phone every time a new iPhone comes out but I’m going to vote no. It’s unnecessary. I’m over iPhone and I want to downgrade.

I’m bad about it too, well upgrading to a new phone period. This is the first time in almost 20 years that I’ve held onto a phone longer than 2 years.

I've had my S8 almost 3 years too and was thinking about upgrading. Except this one is really just fine. I think if I got a new one right now that didn't just blow me away with new features that I like and will use, I would be really disappointed that I spent the money to get something not much different than I already have. So I'm waiting.
