Interesting how negative the takes are here. USB-C, AOD, a better telephoto lens, action button and future proof SOC (which is fairly standard for iPhones) has convinced me to upgrade from my iPhone 12PM.
The trade in price offered for my old phone was a big part of the reason I’m sticking with Apple over my next option, Pixel Pro. Saves me from having to deal with marketplace. The Australian pricing seems (from memory) to be pretty comparable to what I paid for my 12PM, which considering inflation and the weak Australian dollar is pretty good.
Imagine being excited about a button
It replaces what was, to me, a worthless switch. I used the switch maybe once a month. So yeah, it’s a benefit.
Wasn't an "action button" something you could configure the Home button to do many years ago on a bunch of other phones?
But no one is complaining about 60Hz screen. When that one arrives it will be daring and revolutionary next year or year after. Reason enough to upgrade.
Theres no reason to upgrade before they actually comply with eus right to repair act, and the older one that says they gotta allow other app stores etc (i do believe that will have to be enforced by the end of next year)
