Yeah. i gathered as much.
I think most ppl would rather get a used 13 pro max than a new 14 plus for that price.

But for me, the deal breaker for me is the weight for the pro max models. The 14PM is having a whopping weight of 240g.
So the 14 plus sounds like a sweet spot as most reviewer highlighted how light it is compared to the PM and for this size.

Totally agree on this. The pro max seems to get heavier with each release. Noticed that since 12pm. Too bad it was launched later than other i14 models and I didn’t want to wait further. Will definitely keep an eye on this model if there are some sales in future.

You got the 14? And coming from?
How is the photo quality?
Considering to upgrade my other half's iPhone 12 to either 14/14plus solely for the camera and battery. She doesn't like heavy phone so Pro/PM are out.

I got the 14pm from apple online store. Didn’t manage to find any from the apple reseller stores. The sales person will say pre-order but can’t give me the definite date. I didn’t want to wait too long so just ordered direct from Apple.
Photo quality is good from pro max perspective.

To add on, previous phones were pro maxes (12 & 13).

New one is coming up. Of course the old iPhone 14 will get discount. But if the price is not more than 20% off the price. It is more worth it to get the iPhone 15 but this is assumed that price of 15 is not increased during its announcement next month.

I thought about it. I do think the i15 prices will increase and even if it doesn’t, I do prefer the discounted i14. The phone is for the elderly mostly to WhatsApp, light surfing and youtube.

I need to budget and plan a bit coz looking into my own phone upgrade. biggrin.gif

Since you are getting for your mom and have a certain budget, why not consider Android phones? With the pricing of the iPhone 14, you would be able to get a top of the range one. Unless of course you strictly want iOS.

Her current phone is iPhone 11 and she is used to iOS. So just stick with the same ecosystem.

Even myself haven’t used android. But I really like the flip 5 and am considering it as a secondary phone. Other than foldable phones, I don’t see much innovation in smartphones recently. I’m just too laidback to switch to a different ecosystem.

True also. But as it said, if the price is not 20% cheaper or more it may not be so worth it. Given that one brand new iPhone can easily use for 5 years or longer. Buying an one gen older iPhone u also lost 1 year of usage for cheaper price.
Exactly it is for older ppl, then iPhone is the best choice. Easier to use, lesser prob, more reliable.

Android is a no no no.

I do think iPhones are suitable for elderly and more secure.

As for losing one year usage, I think I’d go for outright discounts. If it’s for my own use, then different story. smile.gif

I think losing 1 year is not a significant thing to worry about. One good example is Apple still provide security update for iOS 15 on older phones that cannot upgrade to 16.
*
Agree. I like the consistent updates of iOS. My other reasons to upgrade from the iPhone 11 is coz of 5g (only in iPhone 12 onwards) and the current phone battery drain out fast (time to change).

A bit out of topic, but if you replace the battery the IP11 work well as secondary device.

I thought about it but discarded that option. I’m leaning towards trade in with additional incentives (for example, Samsung) or just sell it off.

I’ll decide later when I get the i14. Already bought the sp and Ringke case.

But the usb-c for iPhone 15 makes it a better buy including the display as well and many more new features.

I agree on that point too. I’m starting to sway in my decision. I wanna see what’s on sale during 11/11.
But I already bought all my accessories for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 pro max.
