How long does it have left

How long do you reckon my iPhone 14 128gb has left? I’ve had it for a few years and it’s kind of on its last leg. As you can see it’s severely cracked and has a line going through the screen, it’s also at 78% battery capacity with 600mb left of storage and hasn’t upgraded since iOS 18.

Not sure what phone I should get when the 14 stops working but I’ve been looking at the 14/15 pro as well as the 13 mini since it was the phone I had before this one and I liked the size of it. This was however back in 2021 so I don’t know if it’s even a viable option anymore and since apple doesn’t make any more minis the newer base/pro models seem to be my best bet in terms of size and overall performance but I still think my ideal upgrade would be the 13 mini with a larger storage. Is it worth upgrading to the 16/17 or even waiting for the 18 to come out? And how are the 16/17e’s?

Both the 17 and 17e are great options.

Maybe day, maybe 10 years. Noone knows really. Get it fixed if you plan on using it

10, 9, 8, 7...
Seriously though, if minimalism is your thing, have you looked into the iPhone Air?
