It seems as though my iPhone XS is finally out of commission. Took it to authorized service centers, no luck. It was my first ever iPhone (previously a loyal Android user) and I bought it not long after launch, so it's been almost 5 years since, if I'm not mistaken. Really loved and enjoyed using it while I had it.
Now that I'm in the market for a new phone, would you folks recommend the iPhone 14 Pro at this point in time? Specs-wise, I'd assume it's an obvious upgrade across the board since it's a few generations apart, but one thing I've been seeing as concerns about the 14 Pro is the battery life. I'm currently using a family member's old, spare iPhone SE to compensate in the meantime, and the battery life expectedly isn't great (2.5hrs screen on time before it hits 50%). I understand the Max is great with battery, but I'd rather avoid a big phone like that as much as possible as I need to carry a second phone (for work) with me most of the time.
As with my XS, I plan and hope to use my would-be new phone for years to come, hopefully even longer than 4-5 years.
