How long will the iPhone last before it needs to be replaced with a new one? In fact, there is essentially no fixed answer to this question. However, judging from the actual situation, I think the judgment given by those who have experienced it is still relatively reference-based: at most, it will be directly replaced by the new flagship model at that time after three to five years. At least, it is to replace the new iPhone once a year.
Regarding this, people who have experienced it said that this is a normal phenomenon. Take users who use an iPhone for three to five years. In fact, based on the theoretical service life of Apple mobile phones, three years is indeed the "standard" strength. If you continue to use it after three years, you will need to replace the phone with a new battery.
To be honest, the peak performance of the iPhone after replacing the new battery is in line with expectations. In addition, it is worth noting that usually after replacing the battery with a new iPhone, it can continue to be used for two or three years. At this time, if you don't have the psychological activity of "loving the new and hating the old", you can actually keep using it. Unless, you think it’s time to get a new phone.
Take iPhone 14 Pro Max as an example. The configuration parameters of this phone are currently the highest among Apple phones. The A16 bionic chip + 6GB storage + 48-megapixel main camera lens alone is enough for many people to "blow" for a long time. You know, combined with the optimization strength of the iOS16 system, essentially the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have no problem in using it for three or five years. Of course, in the hands of some users, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can be used for more than five years, and has even become a staple.
However, there is a premise here: if you like shooting, the iPhone 14 Pro Max you buy must have a large body capacity, and the 512GB version is standard. Otherwise, those with 256GB and below are indeed not enough for daily use.
Let’s look at another answer: It is normal to change to a new and Apple machine at least once a year. In this regard, the opinions of those who have experienced it are very pertinent and realistic. Continuing to use the iPhone 14 Pro Max as an example: Someone bought this phone this year. After the next generation of Apple mobile phones is released next fall, they sell the iPhone 14 Pro Max and maybe add some money to directly buy the new model. The
cycle is like this. In fact, Apple replaces a new iPhone once a year. Moreover, it is worth noting that once this kind of operation is done once, the desire will be "unstoppable" next time.
Considering the cost, if the iPhone 14 Pro Max is used for one year and sold as a second-hand model, it will basically not lose too much money. This is equivalent to adding a little more money and using the next generation of Apple's new machine. After calculating the entire process, the cost is not much different from the cost of replacing a new machine every three to five years.
Moreover, the hardware performance of iPhone14ProMax was mentioned above. Not only that, the screen size of this phone is also relatively large, with a 6.7-inch high-quality screen and a 4323 mAh battery capacity. After a year, the battery health will basically remain at around 98%. Even if you use it more "harshly", the battery health will not be reduced to much.
So, how long does it take to replace your iPhone? I think the answers given by people who have been there are more objective. As the saying goes, "It's normal to replace a new phone in as little as three to five years, or as little as one year." This describes the status and practices of different groups of people in replacing new phones based on the actual situation. So, friends holding iPhone 14 Pro Max, how long do you plan to use it?
