    We don't know your personal preferences or budget comfort levels. Compare the specs and pick the one that's most appealing to you.

    The xr was a great deal. Not a huge difference between 11 and xr.

    how long do you keep your phones for?

    • Till it breaks or lag hopefully lasting 3-4 years :)

    $1000 for a phone… I mean… damn. I think the most I have ever paid is $700. Does it have to be Apple?

      Tried Samsungs too, they just aren’t as smooth and reliable…
      Eventually you are forced to swallow that bitter pill and pay up for an Apple.

      • Ewwww. Not Samsung either. Christ, why do people think that phones only come in two brands, Apple or Samsung?

        And lol @ forced to swallow that pill… yeah, will never happen for me.

        While ever I can get equally good phones for $500, I can literally afford to have the latest updated hardware every year for the cost of owning a 2yo iPhone for the next 3 years.

        And don’t try and feed that stereotypical Stockholm Syndrome Apple marketing bullshit. There is nothing out of this world that my Xiaomi Note 10 Pro doesn’t do that an iPhone 13 Pro Max does at the same size, yet it cost $450, not $2,500.

          Can it make phone calls? LOL!
          I mean… all this bullshit these days - and its supposed to be a phone but so many people have them as a fashion statement

          • @pharkurnell: Status Symbol. At least that was a while back: "Look at my new Apple Phone" and the rest of the crows "OOOOOhhhhhhh"

            I called it the Ferrari of the poor people

            Now it's not that trendy anymore.

            I prefer to show off my big ….. Superzoom Camera, or my huge ….. Binoculars

    Use ratios:

    $1000/iP13 = $76.92 per iPhone unit

    $680/iP11 = $61.82 per iPhone unit

    I would avoid the last gen body. (X, XS, 11)

    12 minimum.

    iphone 11 already 3 years old, since you want to keep the phone for 3-4 i would go for the 13 due to newer features and longer software support.

    • Thank you sir

    • 3 x $700 = 2100 = 2 x $1000, assuming you will be able to get another older iPhone in 3 and 6 years

      3 x 2 years = 6 = 1.5 x 4 years

      with 3 times an older ( new ) iPhone, ( 1 more phone ) you get 1 additional Battery and Screen replacement.

    Just wait for the iPhone 15

      Or wait a bit longer for 16 ?

      • +4

        Even better

        I shall wait for iPhone XXX R18 Then :-)

    I would choose the 13 simply for the better camera.

    Where are you getting the 13 for $1000 these days?

    Discounted gift cards bring it down to ~1100.

    Haven’t seen lower pricing since the Telstra days.

    • Haha soon 🙏

  • I would compare battery health of both phones. This is the true game changer imo. Not the few upgrades between the 2 phones that you most probably won't use all.

  • +1

    I keep my iPhones until they run out of iOS updates. We traded in my man’s iPhone 7 and got him an iPhone 13 at the Telstra day. The iPhone 13, also, starts with 128 Gb.

    • How much credit you get for the trade in

      • I don't know, I assume $200, the same $200 the new phone is more expensive in that shop …..

        • Did the 13 go up as well or just the 14?

  • +1

    for iphone 7 atm you wouldn't get much, i just check on the website.

    • We sold it before the latest was released and got $130 for it. A perfect one is now $95.

    I just pulled the trigger on an iPhone 11 for $679 delivered by goodguys, plus should get $50 cash wallet whatever, but only 10 days to spend it.
    Was supposed to be $18 delivery but they forgot to charge that.

    Wish there was a $1000 iPhone 13 deal again - been waiting but no dice so far!
