asking: which iphone to upgrade from xs? (self.apple_enthusiast)

i was considering upgrading my iphone xs 512gb to 13 pro 1tb, but do you think iphone 14 pro 256gb is more worth it?

in my local store, they’re the same price with that storage (meanwhile 14 pro 512gb would be 200 usd more expensive, 14 pro 1tb would be 400 usd more).

i would also like to say that price would be one of the main considerations. my budget is fairly limited since i live in a developing country without any apple stores, so all products are sold by authorised resellers (which significantly inflate the price).

thank you in advance for your advices!

Depends, if you use a lot of storage or not. I'd say go for the double of how much storage, you are currently using on your XS. But storage is severely overpriced on iPhones, so it is hard to say. If you truly need 1TB, I would go for the 13 Pro. I struggle to fill out 128 GB, but maybe that is just me.

thank you so much for your response!

ah i see, i think i would easily fill above 128gb since i play a lot of games with big storages (genshin, honkai). so maybe 256gb might be not too future proof?

but do you think the new features on 14 pro are making it worth to opt for it instead of the 13 pro? something something dynamic island and whatnot...

eta: fixed the storage detail numbers.

No worries! Could be you would have to manage storage a bit, if you go with 256 GB. Question is, if the savings are worth the time you use on storage management. only you can answer that.

The biggest differences are the Dynamic island and a 48 MP camera sensor. Maybe check out some camera comparisons between the models. I think they are notable upgrades, but not something I would pay a fortune for.

i personally wouldn’t mind saving up 200 usd & more just for storage management haha, considering the average salary in my country is only around 100 usd [cries].

anyways, thank you so much once again for your insight! i would definitely take into consideration the small amount of update from 13 pro to 14 pro and contemplate whether it’s worth the price or not.
