    I got my Iphone 8 for 200USD a year ago, and I’m not getting another phone before this one stops working. I can’t justify spending more than the absolute minimum on a phone. I just need it to run basic communication, navigation and social apps as well as take basic photos.

    Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to not use a phone case, so I dropped it on concrete and now I have a spider web on my screen. It still works, though.

      Same. I thought about getting a new one but that’s just a waste of money. Battery lasts all day, takes great photos and does whatever I need it for. Just for the Dynamic Island, which I don’t even like, I don’t see why I would upgrade.

    I just upgraded from iPhone 7 Plus to iPhone 15 Plus (I like a larger phone).

    It was worth it to me because my trusty old iPhone 7 Plus was no longer holding a charge throughout the day; I had to carry a charger with me and charge 2/3 times per day. Also, my iPhone 7 could no longer be updated to the latest IOS, so some apps were starting to misbehave. It was time.

    I felt unaccountably emotional, however, when I had to hand over the iPhone 7 Plus for the trade-in.
