Smartphone sales in general are down. It has hit apple somewhat and devastated Android sales. Likely a result of the K shaped recovery (middle class and wealthy better off, poor worse off).

But there is also a huge pent up demand for the USB-C iPhone. I put off upgrading my 11 for it.

The 15 is probably gonna do huge numbers this year, thanks to the design changes and USB-C. Kinda wish I’d gotten that but I really couldn’t put off an upgrade anymore and got the 14 Pro.

Yea USB C is the only thing id consider upgrading for

[–] mjhagen 2 points 1 year ago

The 15 sales number should be huge just because the 14 wasn’t much of an upgrade.

[–] itsJoelle 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I avoided the 14 as to avoid paying a premium on the camera cut out. USB-C is a bonus!

I’m on the other side. I have a 10 and it’s just dropped below 90% on the battery which makes sense because I’m no having to look for charging before the end of the evening. I also have a Synology nas which handles a lot of my “cloud” needs like backup, and your concerns about walled garden don’t really seem to apply to me.

The biggest issue I have is even a decade later my typing speed and accuracy is well below my blackberry days. I’m looking at getting a larger model to hopefully improve things.

Consider enabling swipe, you can get away with allot of inaccuracies swiping away the words and to me it’s allot faster.

That is probably the worst website I’ve ever visited on mobile.
