In this episode of the podcast we tackle the question: should you upgrade to the new iPhone 12? Apple’s latest devices always receive a lot of media attention, but the changes Apple made to the cameras and 5G performance aren’t worth it for all users. We talk about what the upgrades are for iPhone 11 users, 11 Pro users, XS users, X users, and even iPhone 8 users, and how to tell if the new phones are worth it for you. Or maybe if you should wait until next year for the iPhone 13?
