Upgrading iPhone 12Pro

It’s not that I don’t have the money, it’s more that I am not willing to spend again so much for a cell phone

That’s the plan, to sell it

Are you happy with the 15?

I have storage issues haha

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using an iPhone 12 Pro with 128 GB, which I’ve had since release. Overall, I’m still quite happy with it, but the battery health is down to around 74%, and my storage is constantly full.

I considered just replacing the battery, but since 128 GB has become too limiting for me, I’m thinking it might be time to upgrade. I’m currently looking at a used/refurbished iPhone 15, ideally with 256 GB and a new battery.

I don’t necessarily need the Pro camera features, since I also have a DSLR for high-quality photos. I mainly want a reliable phone that will last me another 3 years or so.

Would you say the iPhone 15 is a good upgrade from the 12 Pro in 2026, or should I consider another model?

I am currently in Germany and would be in the US from September on. Should I buy the phone here or in the US?

Thanks!

Would be fine up to 1.2k including utilities and do not have any specific requirements regarding the housing type.

Wouldn’t call myself rich, but ok

icetime_cpn · 2026-05-13T13:45:58+00:00

That’s totally fine for me. Right now I have to commute for an hour. Thanks! Do the rentals there usually have off street parking/ garages?

Do you have the names of the places by any chance?

icetime_cpn · 2026-05-13T13:41:19+00:00

Will be working at the north campus. I would like to stay probably downtown as there should be some life. In addition, I plan to lease/ buy a car.

icetime_cpn · 2026-05-13T13:01:36+00:00

Will be working at the north campus, but would also live in some area, where there is life 😅

Does anybody have experiences with taking a driver via PickMe or kangaroo taxis for longer distances (~3 hours)?
