re: iPhone 12 vs iPhone 13

Went ahead and upgraded from a 12 to a 15 yesterday.. im not an early adopter by any means (15 has been out for over 6 months I believe) and i would have kept the 12 even longer except, as i mentioned upthread, i really wanted the eSIM feature of the 15 for working overseas and not having to keep trading out the physical SIM card.. even that might not have been enough to make me upgrade, except that my carrier (ATT) was offering $700 off of the $825 base iPhone 15…. End of the day, it adds about $3 per month to my bill for 36 months.. i generally like to buy stuff outright and avoid financing, but $3 per month isnt like having an $900 truck payment lol… plus everything was super seamless, they transferred everything from the old phone to the new , all the apps, photos, contacts- even my wallpaper transferred to the new phone.. so just a heads-up that now might be a good time for a baw to save some money if you are looking to upgrade .





ETA to clarify, being ATT they have to stick it to you some way- so of course they wouldnt LET me buy it outright, they make you do the financing .. still not a terrible deal though IMO
