about getting a 15 pro because it’s a lot newer and I thought it might have
better performance better battery life and the better camera. But, Kelly, based

I haven't upgraded yet, although am considering the Pro or Max. My concern is

a shirt pocket? I guess I'll find out when I go to buy a phone.

First of all, I have really appreciated reading the thoughts, and

My suggestion is to get rid of the apps you no longer want or need, download
the apps you want, do a backup of your old phone and then upgrade using what's
backed up. Ideally doing an encrypted backup using Itunes lets you move more
things like passwords, etc, to your new device.
This is just my opinion, but I think it's always best to start from scratch.
This way you don't propagate those mistakes you made on your previous device.
That being said, I always bring everything forward in iCloud. I'm just too lazy
to go through all of those settings I've tweaked. Note on
