And if so, what are you getting?

I had been planning to upgrade this year, but haven't been massively swayed by any of the phones. I can afford to upgrade, and would get £220 trade in with Apple which I'm unlikely to get next year, but battery health is still 83% for me after 4 years and easily sees me through the day. Any recommendations would be good, even if that's to sit out an upgrade this year.

Well that's the thing, is anyone ever really missing anything of significance from a new phone?

Four years is the longest I've had one phone, so I just assumed I'd upgrade but now that I've got the opportunity, I'm not sure it's worth it. Probably the only two things I'm lacking are USB-C and whatever Apple Intelligence features eventually arrive.

I've always previously gone for top spec phones essentially for the cameras, but of all the new devices, the Air is weirdly the most appealing to me. Not because of its thinness, but because of its weight. Every time I pick up my daughter's 12 mini I'm jealous of how light it is compared to this brick of a 13 Pro.
