I had an iPhone 11. It was a good phone. It started giving up in early 2024. I held on with poor battery life until the new iPhones that year and bought the 16 Plus. I'm glad actually because they're discontinued the Plus models, annoyingly.
But I'm glad I don't need to upgrade for the next couple of years. I honestly want to get 4-5 years out of any phone going forward. There's basically no difference between models 12 months apart.
I can see the prices going up this year. IT's already happened to the PS5, which is bascially unheard of.
It really sucks more because the reason for it--AI--is just so godawful and pointless.
