My iPhone Journey: From the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 16
I’ve been an iPhone user since 2012, starting with the iPhone 5, and I’m now enjoying my current model, the iPhone 16, marking my 12th year with Apple’s flagship smartphones.
My iPhone Timeline:
- 2012: iPhone 5
- 2016: iPhone 6s
- 2020: iPhone 11
- 2022: iPhone 14 Pro
- 2024: iPhone 16
- 2027: iPhone 19?
Initially, I was upgrading every four years, but the release of the iPhone 14 Pro prompted me to upgrade just two years after purchasing the iPhone 11. My previous habit of buying older models two years post-release made me consider investing in the latest technology for a longer-term experience—aiming for 4-5 years with each new phone.
My strategy is to save money in the long run by upgrading less frequently. I plan to hold off on my next upgrade until 2026-2027, although I might consider buying new models every two years if attractive deals arise. I’m particularly inclined to wait for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone in 2027.
Favorite iPhone
My favorite model remains the iPhone 5. Its perfect size and sleek design have left a lasting impression, influencing my choice of the iPhone 14 Pro, which resembles the 5.
Update - September 25, 2024
I’ve opted for the iPhone 16. One of my main reasons for this upgrade was to find something lighter than my 14 Pro. I expect this model will serve me well for the next 3-5 years.
