Anyone who owns an iPhone 6S or older, it's time: you probably need to buy a new phone. It's not an emergency, of course. It can wait until the end of your phone contract, or the holidays, or whenever you get a nice little bonus at work. But when the time comes, don't put it off. That's because in 2018, the new phones are finally a big enough upgrade from the old device that you'll feel a noticeable difference in your quality of life. So if you have an iPhone 5, 5S, 6, or 6S — or even if you're holding on to a practically ancient iPhone 4 or 4S — here are the 5 reasons why you should upgrade to a new iPhone. 1. The battery lifeAPIf you have an iPhone that's a few years old, I don't need to tell you how terrible your battery life is. I use an iPhone 6S, and at this point, it's hard to get to 5 PM on a single charge — I almost always recharge my phone in the middle of the day. And a few weekends ago when it got really chilly outside, my phone started doing that fun thing where it shuts itself off, even with 30% battery left, because the outside temperature is too low. I've only had my phone for not-quite-two-years, so I can't imagine how grim the battery life is for anyone with an older phone. When you look at the battery life on any of the three new iPhones Apple unveiled this fall, it feels almost luxurious:
2. The cameraSteve Kovach/Business InsiderEven last year, there was almost no major, noticeable difference between the camera on the 3-year-old iPhone 6S and the one on the new iPhone 8. But this year, the cameras on the new phones are miles ahead of the cameras on older devices. Here's a photo of the same place, shot almost side by side. The image on the left was taken with my iPhone 6S, while the image on the right was taken with the new iPhone XR: Steve Kovach/Business Insider Pretty big difference, right? That's because Apple has added a bunch of upgrades to its recent iPhones, including better low-light performance and a new feature called Smart HDR, which automatically blends together the best parts of separate exposures into one photo. 3. The performanceBusiness InsiderIf you're using a 3-year-old — or 4-year-old, or 5-year-old — iPhone, that means you're also using a years-old chip. Say you're using the iPhone 6S, like I am. Your device has the A9 chip, which at the time, was top-of-the-line. But these days, Apple's new phones come with an A12 Bionic chip, which Apple promises will give the devices speed and fluidity, the ability to experience augmented reality, and nice-to-have features like depth control when you're using portrait mode (if you use an older iPhone, your device doesn't even have portrait mode). What this means in your day-to-day life is that your phone doesn't open apps as quickly as it should, it doesn't switch between pages very fluidly, it's slow to do things like delete emails or send a picture to someone, and it just all around makes your day a little bit slower. A new phone like the iPhone XS or the iPhone XR would solve some of those issues. See the rest of the story at Business Insider See Also:
