Hi. I got a 13 Pro last summer during some significant events for me. It was a nice upgrade from my 11, but when my upgrade opportunity comes up again, I'm going to stick with the budget model (15, 16, or whatever it ends up being in the future). Having the people and object detection modes was nice, but I haven't used those at all. My circumstances have changed and I don't need the more advanced Pro model for my daily use. I will also hang onto my Series 6 Apple Watch for another year. Next year will be the Series 10, and early indications in the rumor mill are that the Series 10 should be a good milestone for Apple, like the iPhone 10 was for the phones. I am anxiously awaiting the iOS 17 release, to see what's new in general, VoiceOver in particular, and enjoy the new software bells and whistles.
