I had the opportunity to choose between a used 6 and a new 8 or X after my 5s tragically drowned a couple months ago. After playing with the new ones, I couldn’t justify the price though I can easily afford it. Didn’t see much difference between the 6 and the new models in terms of function. Maybe the camera is a bit better but I don’t have kids nor do I take selfies/use social media so the 6 it is. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
Not because $1300 was more than they were willing to pay?
... or because it's been years since anything new has appeared in the mobile world compelling enough to justify an upgrade?
Because we didn’t want larger screens and couldn’t get new ones SE-sized?
