imo not really unless you want the bigger screen for youtube consumption

What do you meaning lasting the majorly of college? do you mean in terms of battery life or in terms of software support?

Buy the 13, there’s not enough differences to justify the extra $100 on the 14. Besides the 13 would still last a ton of more years down the road so you’ll be good

yes the 14 pro would be good for battery life

yes the 12 is a good phone but i wouldn’t get 64gb. get 128/256

is there a reason you don’t want to do this in the next few months? imo i would use the phone as it is and then when you feel battery life gets bad for you then i’d replace it

OP said he got it 2/3 years ago which makes sense. Remember the 12 was the one that removed the charger in the first place, but the SE was released earlier in the year before the 12 and during that time it still had a 5W brick with a usb a cable

he actually is correct* people forget that the iPhone 12 (released in fall 2020) was the iPhone that removed the bricks and they expanded that to the rest of the lineup (at the time it was the SE, XR & 11). however before the 12s release date, all 3 phones mentioned above were still on the 5W brick with usb a cable and still had earpods connected

source: you can check out original unboxing videos, plus me who had an iPhone 11 before the 12 existed

By charging companies to use the license? Such as anker & Belkin.

it does have better battery than the XS but if u wanna be safe the 13 is a good choice

also the pixel has the same thing with its camera so take it as you will. all are good choices, just depends what u want

13 Mini def has a have a much better camera and it’s brightness is barely higher at 800 nits vs the XS 625 nits. However, on the camera just be warned it doesn’t have the zoom lens so you will be taking digital zoom shot instead of optical it instead it has an ultrawide lens

wym by peak brightness is low and camera quality is low compared to newer phones? Are you saying both of them are bad objectively speaking? like are the photos and videos bad for casual point-and-shoot and then for social media and is the display also bad like can you not see it good during sunlight?

yeah the 13 mini would actually be better due to the efficiency it’s chip is

give it time you’ll eventually get used to it

at 85% it’s fine but just know once it gets lower towards 80 then you need to replace the battery

but for 150 that’s not a bad deal at all

iPhone 7/8. Maybe an SE 2020 if you can manage to snag one for that cheap

personally i would get the 13 pro. The 14 pro isn’t that much different in day to day life especially if it’s a whole ass $400 more expensive

If you REALLY want the always on display or the dynamic island then sure get the 14 pro but the 13 pro is a much better choice in terms of bang for your buck. You’re still getting a solid camera, will get supported for years & it has 120hz & a great battery

yes

no the 13 pro max is not worth $500 more than the 12 pro max. Just get the 12 pro max then replace the battery

12 pro has better cameras & will last 1 year more but the 11PM has a better battery. Pick what you want

iPhone 13, don’t listen to him. the 14 is such an embarrassment of a phone. Save the extra $100 especially since you’re a teenager. the 13 has a great camera, battery & will receive support for many years.

You’re not getting anything worthwhile for the extra $100. You should instead put that $100 towards some airpods if you don’t have any headphones already or put it somewhere useful

the camera is barely better on the 14, he should get a 13

if you wanna retain true tone u gotta do it thru apple. if the price is cheap enough then do it, if not then you may as well get a new phone

so are you trying to go for a cheaper model but still a big phone?

As long as you find one for a good price, yea it’s a good buy. especially if you want good battery life on a cheaper phone
