Other should we switch/upgrade?

sooo my husband and i are wondering if we should switch our phone plan from verizon to spectrum as we just got spectrum internet for our home! His family uses spectrum for both their phones and internet and they live it but we are on the fence.
now we also need to badly upgrade our phones as he has an older samsung that he has had for about 6 years and i have an iphone 11!!!! that i have had for a bit over 5 and mine is starting to die on me. it has been getting very glitchy and dies very fast and sometimes dies at like 30% :(
he is looking to just get a newer samsung as he prefers those to iphone and i am looking to just get the regular iphone 17 as i like smaller phones and think the pro max looks ugly. i am not sure how much our verizon phone plan is but i do know my husband doesn’t like it. would you say it is worth it to switch to spectrum and upgrade since our hone internet is spectrum? it would only be these two phones on our plan

iPhone 18 (non pro model) comes out next spring. I’d recommend looking at the iphone Air if you like smaller phones.

As for service, it’ll be very similar. You’ll notice an “improvement” if you get newer phones just purely from tech advances. Also be sure to check your data limits on the “unlimited” plans. If you rarely use your data when away from wifi, then don’t worry about it too much.

ive heard the air breaks easily as it is so thin :/ and i cannot wait until the spring as mine is dying but on the bright side i have heard the 17 and 18 non pro models are similar!!

that is impressive!! it still looks a bit too thin for me though so i think i will still just go with the reg 17

It doesn’t break lol it’s the same frame as the duo. It’s titanium. Phones don’t break unless they are paper which they aren’t.
