I’m still on the 11 Pro, and I feel similarly. I’ve not seen any reason to update to date, though the new AI functionality might just turn out to be it.
I’m unsure I’m willing to lock myself in to the Apple ecosystem to an even greater degree though - they make it devilishly difficult to extricate yourself, and I already find the enforced storefronts built into their apps obnoxious. The Books app went from being a library to a shop - how long until the Photos app is trying to sell me things?
If anything, I may wind up bifurcating my life to an even greater degree - iPhone for general life admin (calendar, phone book, banking etc), Linux for productivity, creativity, gaming.

- pbronez 2y agoThat's fair. I'm not interested in allowing Apple to become a single point of failure for my digital life either. When I think about going deeper into the Apple Ecosystem, I mean stuff like: Continue to use a 3rd party mail and calendar services, but ensure they're available through the native iOS Mail and Calendar apps. Increase usage of reminders Promote iCloud file storage, syncing it with other places to ensure it has a recent view of my holdings. Increase use of Apple version of subscriptions I might get elsewhere, such as News.
