I've been using my iPhone 12 Pro Max for just over three years, and as my Apple device began approaching its third anniversary, it became clear that its battery no longer holds a charge like it used to.

Apple's iPhone 16 is now being sold at a reduced price in India, with the base model costing Rs 48,650 on Flipkart after discounts and exchange offers

Apple just retired two iPhones capable of Apple Intelligence. Even so, the range of iPhones is wider than it was a month ago.

I've waited a long time for an iPhone upgrade, and I've decided this is finally the year I make the switch. With the iPhone 16 series, I've seen enough to convince me to leave my ancient iPhone XS behind.

It's still possible to get a new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max from retailers if you hurry, but Apple has officially discontinued both 2023 models, as well as the iPhone 13 and other products as part of its annual streamlining.
