My 12 Pro Max is happily chugging along. I’ll only upgrade when it literally dies or security updates stop.
Same here. Battery is still going strong. Only thing that bothers me is the RAM seems a bit too smol. Open a game and Lemmy says byebye. Not enough of an issue to upgrade to a whole new phone tho.
Still on my standard issue 11. Few scuffs and scratches on the edges but otherwise still working great.
Totally with you, we run them into the ground before replacing.
Apple probably: Say no more! Lets force an update to slow your 12 Pro Max down. Did we mention your battery performance is crappy now?
"But we are only slowing down your phone to make your battery last longer!
No, you do not get a say in this. If you want a fast phone, go buy a new one."
I have a normal 12 and I notice the battery degradation by now, as well as performance issues. In my memory, apps did not get kicked out of memory and had to restart as quickly as they do now. Sometimes I just switch between two apps and suddenly one of them has to restart. Kinda annoying. But yeah, I want to keep this one until the updates run out. Maybe I’ll get a battery replacement soon
The battery in my 13 Pro is absolute toast. I was thinking of upgrading but really, what benefit is there?
It’s no lighter, it’s thicker, the performance may be faster on paper but I doubt I’d notice.
Maybe I’ll just replace the battery and wait a few more years.
I have a 11 Pro and swapped battery once after four years, so about a year ago. It's good as new again. Can highly recommend a battery swap.
