It’s that time of year again to ask ourselves – Do I get the new iPhone version?
Almost every year, we get tempted and ask ourselves this same question whenever a new iPhone version is announced and released.
Today is special not only because Apple is releasing the iPhone 8 or iPhone X (not sure what it is going to be called at the time of writing this) but also because this is the iPhone version that will be marking the 10th year anniversary of its birth. The first iPhone was announced and released by Steve Jobs in June 29, 2007. And the world has never been the same since then.
The Simple iPhone upgrade Test
Take this simple test to help you quickly decide whether you should get the latest iPhone model.
Simply check which statement applies to you:
- You can afford it in cash
- You want the latest technology it brings – face recognition, wireless charging, bigger screen
- Your phone is too old to keep up with you and your lifestyle (too slow, no more memory, some features no longer working, or it’s just dead)
If at least 2 statements apply to you, then YES, the new iPhone version maybe for you. Let’s check your answers!
1 and 2 – You are the first adopter!

It’s not that bad either.

Great test for seeing if we should upgrade our iPhones. The iPhone X was a bit disappointing to me. I’m thinking about making a big change over to the Amazon fire phone. Ironically enough, I answered yes to all three questions. So, I might go for it. This is a great test for upgrading almost any phone or device.
Thanks Dennis! Go for it!
