I recently got myself an iPhone 15 Pro, coming from the 14 Pro Max. I love how light and portable the phone is, with addition to USB-C, Action Button, 8GBs of Ram, and Good Camera.

Besides the good stuff, I feel that we have hit a slow incline of improvements and excitement starting from the iPhone 6, IMHO.

I upgrade every year based on my undying love with tech, so that might be why I feel underwhelmed, but I just don't feel that we can ever hit that WOW factor anymore.

My first excitement was upgrading from the iPhone 3GS to 5. That was huge. And then as time goes, I lost that excitement factor as I upgrade from the 6 to 7, 8 Plus to 13 Pro, 14 PM to 15 Pro.

I may be going crazy, but I was thinking of returning my iPhone 15 Pro and get the iPhone 13 or 14 regular and wait for whenever the iPhone gets a major overhaul with its hardware. That way I can get that feeling of excitement again.

Am I the only one who is thinking this? Besides that, I am very happy with my iPhone 15 Pro, just not as excited as I was anymore.

Hear me out I just think that you upgrade too much because of your upgrade every year you will get minor changes that maybe even don’t bother you that much and then you aren’t really getting the satisfaction with buying a new phone, but in my personal opinion, you could get a much bigger satisfaction if you wait a few years until you upgrade, because then there is enough tech that has been upgraded and itches that bothers you from your old phone, so you want to upgrade and don’t get this itch from your old phone anymore. It could be a cracked phone. It could be that you don’t like the form factor or the design and this will change over the years in my personal situation right now I have an iPhone SE two and I’m quite satisfied when I bought it but now after four years I want to upgrade to the 15 or 15 pro because the lifetime of my phone is almost dead. The battery isn’t that good anymore the screen is too small and so on and I think this itches will build up over the years if you just stop upgrading and wait for a few years and you will have a much bigger satisfaction. In my opinion I do this kind of all of my tech because I save a lot of money and also I’m very satisfied when I upgrade. The only bad thing when doing this is that you won’t always get the newest tech, but when you upgrade you will feel so fucking satisfied I’m telling you
