Buy or wait?
I’m currently on the iPhone 12 Pro. This is the last year that it’ll get os updates, and it shows. Though I replaced the battery last year, it does not make through half a day and the health says it’s already at an 85% max of what it once was. It’s only gotten worse with the latest OS upgrade.
I’m currently saving for the Fairphone 6+ and would ideally want to get it with /e/os, but the bugginess has me going back and forth on that idea. When I get a Fairphone, I’ll probably buy with the stock os and then load it on there for both the cost and waiting to decide whether or not to commit.
I’ve known I’ve wanted a Fairphone for my next phone for a while, but seeing how fast my partner’s new iPhone is, it only shows how much my own phone has degraded over time.
The thing is, with it being a 6+ as opposed to a 7, I’m wondering if I’d be getting a better upgrade if I can wait a year. This current phone is getting on my last nerve but it’s not the end of the world to carry around an external charger (though I’m not happy with how quickly it overheats when I do that). But I’ve also heard that Fairphone doesn’t always have a phone release every year, so would I be waiting a year for nothing?
Thanks in advance for your honesty!
