I see some people here are running iPhone8s or even 7s. I’m curious how they use their phones.

I just replaced my iPhone12 with a 15. The 12 was still fast enough, but the 15 is noticeably significantly snappier.

The 12 replaced an X which was getting painfully and frustratingly slow.

The X likewise replaced a 6 which was getting painfully and frustratingly slow.

I use a first gen iPhone SE. It’s fine — I don’t understand why anyone needs a $1,000 phone.

I also use 1st gen SE every day. Some chat, web and of course calls.

I'm more curious to know what you do with your phone? Games? I'm not sure if the average person has noticed any performance improvements besides screen refresh rate and maybe photo/video quality.
