Hi all, I’ve made my decision about which phone to get. Thought I’d share, in case it’s helpful to anyone else.
For a long time now, it’s seemed that new phones haven’t been all that exciting. Sure, there’s always a better camera, sometimes a better display—which I don’t care about—and a faster processor. But that’s about it. However, I think that that may be about to change, at least for the next couple few upgrades. I think Ai—and Apple AI—are going to present some interesting, and potentially game-changing new frontiers. But those frontiers are still not quite there yet. In general, AI is going through a period of rapid development. Apple Intelligence still hasn’t dropped, and we don’t know exactly what it will bring when it does. It will be new, and have bugs that need ironing out. I’m in an unusual situation in that, if I get the trade-in I anticipate getting from Apple, it will only cost approximately $150 more to buy an unlocked phone, rather than upgrading through my provider. So, I’ve decided to do that, and preserve my option to upgrade next year, if the upgrade is interesting enough to justify it. I’m therefore going to go with the iPhone 16 this time, and save my $$ to upgrade to a pro once Apple AI gets a little more sorted out. I’d love to hear what others do if you want to share.
