Im thinking about upgrading but my iphone 8 is working fine. It seems to do everything I want it to. The only real issue I ever had was a forced update that killed my battery life, it was fine before it. The only feature I could use is a wide angle camera to take pictures inside of homes which can be tricky. Is there any real reason I should upgrade other than the employee riots potentially causing supply problems or price hikes.

If you get a new battery, it will probably serve you for some time to come.

It was working fine then apple kept trying to update and I said no for months. I woke up and it had updated on its own and ever since the battery life was about cut in half. So i just make sure I have charging options with me. But other than that and the better camera. I cant think if any reason to upgrade other than china maybe causing a price hike.

5G is nice on the newer phones and the battery, obviously, is a lot better. Besides that there isn’t really anything revolutionary about them

The 8 has aged pretty well all things considered, especially compared to the 7.
