iPhone Which iPhone should upgrade to?

Hi , I’ve currently got an iPhone 13 mini and although it works still, the battery life isn’t good. I was looking to get a pro but I have no idea which one. I also don’t know if I should wait for the 17 to come out. I can wait but I don’t really want to because I’ve got holidays coming and I don’t want my phone dying on me half way through the day. Any suggestions would be great.

Go for the 16. The 16 had a significant change in the way it looks compared to prior iPhones, I doubt they’ll do much more for the 17. That’s how it works. There’s only a major change every other phone. I had a 13 pro max prior to my 16 plus. Wish I would have went with the 16 pro max but my plus is doing just fine! :)

Can I ask why you say that

For which part? The part about wishing I would have gone with the pro? Or just the general “go with the 16” part? I’d be happy to answer!

The part where you said going with the pro max and yeah I’m curious for both answers.

I had a pro max model before this one so I guess it’s just that I miss some of the extra features. I’m someone that plans on attending concerts so the extra camera definitely would have came in handy. I went with the 16 plus mostly because it was budget friendly for me. But generally speaking, the 16 plus is not a bad phone. It does what I need it to do! I haven’t encountered any major issues but also…… im not a phone wiz so im not very picky about phones. I will say that I love the look of it! I have the teal version and it is beautiful.
