I’ve been trying to be more frugal these days and usually skip every other iphone upgrade as these aren’t many features added year to year. Paying $1,000 for a phone that is very similar to the one you currently own isn’t exciting. Now my dilemma is that I use my phone often as a content creator and my battery life is noticeably failing me. I go out to dinner and by the end of dinner, my phone is at 20% while everyone else is at 60-70%. In addition to that, I purchased photo storage for my iphone and it still doesn’t seem to be enough storage because my phone keeps glitching!

So I finally decided to make the decisions purely on specs and created a chart on the features of both devices:

After reviewing the above specs and doing some more research online I decided that if you are someone who posts online, creates video for memories, blogs about current events and spends a lot of time on your phone then upgrading to the new upgrade of the phone of your choice makes sense. I am really excited about having 1TB of storage and I will write an update on how it’s changed my content game! Stay tuned besties!
