Why I'm breaking the 5-year iPhone upgrade cycle - and I'm not alone
Apple just announced its new iPhone 17 lineup, but I'm not upgrading yet - and it's not just about saving money.
Don't get me wrong, the hardware on the iPhone 17 is certainly a significant upgrade -- the device is thinner and lighter, it features a 120Hz ProMotion display that was once reserved for the Pro model, has a vastly improved cooling system, the all-new A19 chip, 12GB of RAM, and the capability to record video in 8K. While content creators and tech enthusiasts may be chomping at the bit for the upgraded form factor and 48MP telephoto lens, the reality is that the average iPhone user may not take full advantage of these features. This includes spicy features like AutoMix in Apple Music, Hold Assist, Spatial Photos, or AI-generated Genmojis -- all of which require the iPhone 15 or up.
