Hey all,
I got a 14 Pro, and my battery is cooked. Going from 100% to 10% in about 10hr ish and need to charge constantly for it to not die. Not sure what to get. I use the wide angle lens a decent amount, but I could live without it. Looking at the 16e to the base 17. For the 16’s I’d be looking at Backmarket. They give a decent trade in, I got offered like $230 last time I checked. Thanks yall

the base 17 is the default recommendation now
the 16e and 16 are worth considering if we can get some pricing numbers

I think the base 17 is a perfect buy.

the 16e might be good but considering OP uses the 0.5x a decent amount I'd imagine the 16e wouldn't be a great fit

I think the best options would probably be a 16 Pro or a base 17. regular 16 is also a great option
16e may not be for you as you mentioned using the 0.5x lens a decent amount

The three cardinal questions when looking at an upgrade:

The three cardinal questions when looking at an upgrade:
- What is your budget
-...
The cheaper the better, under $450
Regular use, social media
Good battery, wide angle, preferable promotion but if it’s super cheap without then that’s ok
lethal pecan
so it looks like a base 16 or base 17 is your best course of action
if the 17 fits under your budget get that, if not get the 16

Some of those phones are good deals but I probably wouldn't recommend 15 Pro series phones as those aren't that great battery-wise even though it's still better than the 14 Pro

base 16 or base 17 is great
lethal pecan
there's not much reason for you to consider any pro phone tbh
quaint zenith
how much would a base 17 be?
I’d have to go to Apple. BM only has ATT locked ones
lethal pecan
So yeah if you can snag a base 17 for cheap enough after trade-in or other method of selling the 14 Pro, do that
if not, the backmarket base 16 is the way to go
quaint zenith
I told BM it’s flawless screen (one TINY almost invisible scratch) and good sides (scratches from case)
quaint zenith
if not, the backmarket base 16 is the way to go
I won’t have promotion right?

All BM is locked. Let me see my Apple trade

the cameras (selfie in particular) on the 17 may also be helpful if you post anything on socials
but other than that, that's about it

Not on the base 16, you'd be looking at a base 17 or 16 Pro for that

$499 ($799 due today)
They value my 14P at $300
lethal pecan
If you can reasonably go that route, do it

$499 ($799 due today)
honestly yeah if you can get the base 17, do it

It’s a bit pricey for me rn
you'll eventually get that trade-in credit though
lethal pecan
From here it's pretty much up to you whether you do that or get the 16 from backmarket
quaint zenith

I know but it’s still $100 more than my max. Christmas really tapped me out

Ngl I really want the 17
lethal pecan
totally up to you if going for it is worth the extra monies
I've given you about as much info as I can

I may wait a few months and spring for the 17
lethal pecan
that might work
quaint zenith
It sounds like a big jump even over the 16P
lethal pecan
as long as you're ok with coping for the 14 Pro for longer, of course
quaint zenith
I could cut my 14P off and get cell on my AWU3 and be happier LOL
I know it ain’t an option but
Worst case I get the 16e or 16
Regardless I’m getting a second 16e for my partner
They will give $170 for her 13

Base 17 or 15 pro would be good options

Base 17 or 15 pro would be good options
15 Pro is much harder to recommend. Although battery is still better on the 15 Pro by quite a bit, it won't be too much better as the 15 Pro also wasn't the best with battery. And also, OP is on a 14 Pro... I can really only recommend at minimum a 16 series device
so yeah base 17 is a great choice
if that's not an option, 16 Pro is solid too
fervent granite
16 pro makes sense, you wouldn’t see much of an upgrade going to a 15 pro, and more zoom with better quality cameras
