"Kerry Wan/ZDNET Like clockwork, a new iPhone has made its way through the rumor mill in August, and users are beginning to wonder if they should buy what's currently available or wait until fall to see how things play out. Based on past trends, there's a good chance Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 series next Tuesday. So, should you pick up an iPhone 16 from your local Apple store today or play the long (but not that long) game?"
"Elyse Betters Picaro/ZDNET Pretty simple, right? If you're currently using a handset that's severely damaged or defected in a way that prevents it from completing your daily tasks, then it's time to buy a new phone right now. I've had friends say that they'd be willing to power through another month with a heavily cracked iPhone if it meant they could just buy the next-generation model. However, that doesn't take into consideration the fact that Apple typically sells its newest iPhones weeks (if not longer)"
An iPhone 17 unveiling is likely imminent, prompting a decision whether to buy an iPhone 16 now or wait. Immediate replacement is recommended for phones that are damaged or malfunctioning enough to impede daily tasks. Apple often begins sales weeks after the announcement, which can extend waits for specific models and configurations. Budget considerations matter because pricing at launch is uncertain, though base and Pro tiers have historically stabilized around familiar price points. Buyers should weigh urgency, budget, and tolerance for potential availability delays before deciding to purchase now or wait for the next model.
