With a couple of months to go before the launch of Apple’s flagship product, everything has been said, from the possible colors that the new devices would have to that they would be the first to have a USB-C port.

But outside of those comments, which will be known for sure when the new model is released, users always ask themselves the same question: is it time to change the current phone? Doubts remain in the air and the desire to take that leap as well.

For Felipe Lizcano, co-founder and editor of Techcetera.co., the first thing to consider if you plan to change your iPhone model is whether or not the current cell phone meets the basic needs for which it was purchased. To mention a few: got slow in processing? Is the quality of the photos no longer the best?

“Considering that you need to go to a more Pro model can also be a reason to change,” he says.

The specialized portal Apple Sphere puts the issue of RAM memory on the table, another vital point when defining whether it needs to be changed or not: “The iPhone 15 Pro could have up to 8 GB of RAM, which could open new frontiers when it comes to software”, they detail.

Another symptom that can indicate that it is time to change the version of the iPhone is when it is perceived that it does not receive security patches or operating system updates. “On average, an iPhone generally receives five to six years of security patches,” says Lizcano.

So all iPhones prior to the Xs are left without an update since they could not update the system with iOS 17 that Apple presented in early June, within the framework of the World Developers Conference (WDDC 2023).

The models that will officially receive iOS 17 are:

iPhone SE 2020
iPhone SE 2022
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone SE (2ª gen.)
iPhone 12
iPhone 12 mini
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 13
iPhone 13 mini
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone SE (3ª gen.)
iPhone 14
iPhone 14 Plus
iPhone 14 Pro
iPhone 14 Pro Max

If yours isn’t on the list, it’s time to start thinking about a change.

For people who want better cameras and video quality, the version to think about when changing is the Pro, according to specialists who also recommend that if money is a problem there is no need to change if You have an iPhone 14 or 13, or perhaps if it is further back, even with an 12 or 11.

In the end, the change is a sum of many factors and it is good that you keep them in mind before making that investment.
