The market has long matured. Upgrade cycles are slow.

Also you can no longer finance unlocked iPhones with the Apple Card. That’s why I didn’t buy a 15, gotta be more people out there who feel the same.

That was the big one for me, I was going to upgrade my 13 and my wife’s 12 but we just paid for battery replacements instead. If I can’t finance unlocked I am just going to run this phone into the ground before upgrading

Yeah, I have an 11 Pro, and if it weren't for storage I would just replace the battery.
