my kids and my wife all have either an OG SE or a 6s. Apart from my daughter who has a 16GB phone, the rest are managing really well, and I probably don’t need to update them until next year. Thinking about it, the increase in RAM from 1 to 2 GB is probably the biggest factor in them still working well today.
If thats the case, does the iphone 11 with 4GB become the new ‘standard’ to get long support? or is the difference more subtle going from 3GB-4GB than it was when it doubled?
Wondering what the sweet spot is when it comes to replacements - do I go for an iphone 12/mini for everyone and hope the increased cost is covered by increased life (if they get 5 years out of it), or save some money with an iphone 11/XR and face the potential they may need replacing a year or two earlier.
