More money for the same basic phone. I have a iPhone 12 and don't see anything worth upgrading for. Probably just change out the battery and keep using it.

I bought an iPhone 12 for a relative a few years ago, that thing holds up great. One of the cheapest models with an OLED screen I think, which still looks absolutely stunning. They make such small incremental upgrades now which makes it hard to justify a newer model.

Have a family member upgrading from an old iPhone. Do you recommend getting the 12 or 12 Pro? How do you like the camera on your 12?

I'm not particularly a photography person but I'd say they are fine. They can be a bit blurred in low light, and maybe they are not as sharp as a 13 pro which I can compare them to.

Thank you. I've read comments on r/iphone that the 13 Pro and 14 Pro oversharpen photos - have you found this to be true?

Not really, the 13 Pro hasn't had any settings changed and I'd say the photos look quite natural. The battery life is also amazing.

Thanks. I've definitely read the complaint about overly sharp photos for the 14 Pro and thought they may have also mentioned the 13 Pro. It probably only applies to the jpeg photos, which another user complained about. Shooting in RAW would of course avoid that.

Don't worry Apple is gonna get you latest iOS update that will add secret patch that reduces battery performance making you upgrade.

That's what I think. They say my 87% life is fine but it is bad. Might not even waste time with a battery swap.
