AI is going to spur an upgrade cycle for everyone, especially when they start running them locally, which Apple is rumored to have planned for at least the Pro version of the iPhone 16. We still have to see how good the new Siri is, but even if it's in the current ChatGPT ball park, that's a huge step up from existing Siri.

I've been needing to upgrade my phone for a while, I almost pulled the trigger on a new older model during Black Friday, because I usually don't need the latest and greatest. However, now I'm waiting until the fall at least and may get a 16 pro, which I could never have envisioned getting before. Running AI locally on phone hardware is going to be a big deal.
