If it’s a tool for communication, get the 13/14. If it’s a whole experience for you, return it, and get the iPhone that helps you get that purchase high.

iMessage and FaceTime. I have an Android phone that’s my main and personal phone. Side phone for work is an iPhone.

It’s like a stock. Perception of value. Once the dominance iMessage is removed, you’ll see iPhone values begin to drop. It’s the beginning of the end of iPhones. Which is why they removed the SIM tray. Removing a slight amount of freedom. Just slight, in case people want to be curious with Android on the whim.

I own both. The S23 does everything the iPhone 15 Pro does, and more. But it doesn’t have iMessage and FaceTime. It’s that simple.
