"Ideally I should have bought an iPhone 8 or X but I refused to pay the price, even on a monthly contract," he said. Still, he doubts he can rationalize paying around $1,000 for a new phone.
"I have no doubt I'd benefit from the the improved processor and better battery life, and I would so love better battery life, but not at any cost," he said. "Realistically, I will probably upgrade to an iPhone 8 or the iPhone XR depending on their contract price after the launch of the iPhone 11. If not, it may finally push me to go to an Android phone, as there always seems to be a good deal to be found with them."
