Predictions and buying advice: Should we buy an iPhone or wait?
The mobile market is currently in a “currency bubble.” With the mass arrival of the iPhone 17, the 16-series price bubble is likely to deflate in the coming weeks.
If you’re looking for a permanent, hassle-free antenna, the iPhone 13 is still the most logical option. But if you’re planning to buy the new flagships (16 and 17), it’s better to wait until late February until the initial rush of product arrivals subsides and prices reach a relative equilibrium. Also, be sure to check the phone’s registry status and part number before buying
