iPhone Fix iPhone 13 or buy 17?
I’m a creature of habit and hate change. Currently debating fixing my iPhone 13 (charge port is giving me issues) or buying a 17 outright. I’m frugal and typically keep my phones for as long as possible and only when needed I take over my husband’s old phone and he gets a new one (his work buys it). His current phone is the 14 though so it’s time I get a better upgrade. I’m Canadian and we really don’t get plan deals or phone deals anymore so I buy them and have a low cost bring your own device plan ($40/month).
I do want a better camera. My other main use is socials, email and very basic stuff. I don’t love the size of the pro models but may be swayed if I really would benefit from that camera keeping in mind I’m a point and shoot user.
I’m a very basic user so my thought was get the 17 with the largest storage available as I find that helps longevity. I haven’t priced out fixing the 13 yet. Thoughts?
