I have an Iphone XS which is the 2018 model. I was considering upgrading this year because I dropped it and cracked the screen as well as the back. When the 14 came out I just didn’t see anything it does better than my old one. I don’t care about better cameras or anything like that, I care about reception and battery life. My old phone was still working fine so I opted to spend the $200 to replace the screen instead, now it’s pretty much like new. The back is still cracked but it’s covered by the case so you can’t tell. I usually only get a couple of years out of a phone before something breaks so if I can get another year out of this one (5 years total) that’ll be a record for me. My XS is the same size as the 14 and I don’t want one any bigger, it’s on the verge of being too big already.

I have a XS which I dropped a few years ago. It has hairline crack in the screen. About a year ago the charging port started acting up so I had to fiddle with the connector to get it to take a charge. It got worse, so I bought a 13 Pro last spring. I was going to toss the XS, but then thought I would try resurrecting it with a $10 5W wireless charger. I've been using the XS around the house and listen to podcasts while on my morning walk.
