asking: which iphone to upgrade from xs? (lemmy.world)

i was considering upgrading my iphone xs 512gb to 13 pro 1tb, but do you think iphone 14 pro 256gb is more worth it?

in my local store, they’re the same price with that storage (meanwhile 14 pro 512gb would be 200 usd more expensive, 14 pro 1tb would be 400 usd more).

i would also like to say that price would be one of the main considerations. my budget is fairly limited since i live in a developing country without any apple stores, so all products are sold by authorised resellers (which significantly inflate the price).

thank you in advance for your advices!

I upgraded last year from the XS to the 14 (didn’t go for the pro as the photos are good enough for my uses on the regular phones). Loved it ever since. I’m a fairly long term owner though, went from the 6s plus to the XS.

Update my watch series 1 to the 7 around the same time.

i see, maybe i can get 14 instead of 14 pro and get bigger storage too then! thank you so much for your insight!

i’m kinda a long term user as well, from 7 to xs and then just now planning to switch hehe. and even then, my xs still feels brand new and buttery smooth too — just the battery and signal problem is the downside.

Having repurposed my XS as my business phone for now, it feels almost brand new again now I’ve reset it and only keep a few business specific apps on there. I was charging it twice a day while it was being used as my daily driver, but since the switchover I’m having to charge it twice a week! So it may simply be too many apps demanding too much system time.

omg twice a week only? that's amazing! i guess you're right with that, especially since i'm practically glued to my phone haha.

Then you may as well get the 13 Pro as it’s a better phone than the regular 14.

The 14 has the chip of the 13 Pro, and a worse screen. The 14 doesn’t have the high refresh rate (trust me, this makes the experience so much better) and the regular 14 still has the notch just like the 13 Pro.

The only reason anyone would get the regular 14 over the 13 Pro is because 14 is 1 more than 13.
