Tech blogger filmgirl says that for the first time since 2009 she is not ordering a new iPhone at launch, choosing to keep her iPhone 17 Pro Max and buy a Duo device next month instead. In an exchange with @Dimillian she notes it "truly feels weird" to break the upgrade cycle — a small but telling signal about weakening iPhone upgrade appeal among longtime enthusiasts.
