I used to constantly switch phones, splurging on high end handsets and then having to sell because i needed the money.

Currently have an iphone 12 pro since launch, and will almost be 3 years soon, battery health still at 88%

My contract ends in November, i have a 3 months old 14 Pro 128gb. Ill sell it for around 750-800 euros, pay that upfront for an iphone 15 pro and extend my TMobile contract.

However, i dont know yet if i choose 128gb and extend for 1 year so i can do the same for the 16 Pro, and pay 60 euro per month for unlimited everything,or if i take 512gb 15 pro, extend it for 2 years and pay about 50 euro per month.

Gona check the reviews, if the 15 Pro had less weight(titanium), has monster battery and a noticeable upgrade in camera quality ill take option 2.

If it is a slightly upgraded 14 Pro, ill take option 1.

Option 3 would be keep the 14 Pro, pay per month 27 euro for unlimited everything and see what the 16 Pro brings so i could upgrade then.

There is hardly any difference these days - I would prefer to hold on to the existing phone. However if you are able to sell the 14 for a good price, this is probably the cheapest total cost of ownership.

Yeah, if i would wait another year with my 14 pro it’ll get me less money, BUT the tmobile service would be cheap at 25 euro/per month. My phone is my only luxury (im know i know) and if the 15 Pro gets lighter,much better battery and a truly upgraded camera I’ll bite lol
