And if so, what are you getting?

I had been planning to upgrade this year, but haven't been massively swayed by any of the phones. I can afford to upgrade, and would get £220 trade in with Apple which I'm unlikely to get next year, but battery health is still 83% for me after 4 years and easily sees me through the day. Any recommendations would be good, even if that's to sit out an upgrade this year.

Wait — According to you, this thread is exclusively about which iPhone we planned to buy. 🙄

That was the question, yes, and clearly that was the implication.

My suggestion that the other commenter probably didn't need to post their purchasing intent on a literal apple enthusiast community was based on the recommendation being nothing to do with Apple, and almost every sentence in it focusing on a political justification. There are countless communities more appropriate for those discussions on Lemmy.

That user had already decided they weren't buying any Apple product anymore. That's fine and I wish them well, but it doesn't answer my question, isn't related to the Apple event I referenced, was contra to the phrase Apple Enthusiast, and to be honest was tedious.

Sometimes people just want to buy some technology, not be lectured about monopolies, fascism and EU policy. Not every thread on this platform needs to be an exercise in holier-than-thou, guilt-based anti-capitalism.
