I've been socking away money (mostly through credit card reward points) in the hopes of upgrading my iPhone 14 Pro whenever the new ones come out this year. My current phone works pretty well most of the time, but I've been noticing a drop in performance and battery life over the last few months (even with a replaced battery) and it's been overheating a lot more. Apple saying they're going to be raising prices on all their stuff which is making me a little nervous but for something I use daily like my phone I think splurging a bit is fine and if I can get another 4-5 years out of it like my current one great. Rough time to be wanting to upgrade a lot of my tech though... I've also wanted to upgrade my apple watch (current one is from 2016 and can't hold a charge for more than two hours) and my iPad (from 2018 and can barely multitask these days). They have the series 11 watches on deep discount more and more frequently so I might grab one this week before prices go up and I guess…
