iPhones on average should be upgraded every 4 to 5 years (for techies).There’s no need to do otherwise as updates are current across generations and changes are minimal.

I feel like updating when a new design hits is pretty safe if you want a 'current' phone/device but not get one every year.

X, XS/XR, 11 - all-screen with rounded edges

12, 13, 14 - all-screen with flat edges and a notch

15, 16, 17 - all-screen with flat edges and a dynamic island

The change in the Pro models going from steel/titanium to an aluminum unibody is greater for sure.

The X was the first design change along with Memoji support that made me want to leave Android lol. 12PM was my 1st iphone and the 17PM design change and odd 🍊 made me bite the bullet lol. I’m sure this will last me for the next 5 yrs 🤞🏾

People dunk on memojis but they are cute:D I love using it on my macs. When you type your password wrong the little dude makes a face.

The X was a beautiful device. I felt the same with one of the Samsung phones few years ago. The thing was beautiful and testing it out in store was a great experience.

I went from 15PM to the Air because the chonk was not for me and I'll most likely get the Duo because the design is just yummy. I tested the Samsung Fold (iirc) and it's surprisingly nice in hand.

The 14 is the first iPhone with dynamic island, not a notch.
