I disagree. This never happened with iPhone 1 through 6, when a new iPhone had always been better than its predecessor in every way. After the 6, "upgrading" meant gaining some and losing some, that's also when Apple started to offer the old versions alongside the new ones on their site for far longer.

To provide some anecdata: I got myself an iPhone 6 Plus right after iPhone 8 came out because I needed a headphone jack. If I were to upgrade I'd probably go with the 8 Plus now because it comes with a superior battery life and a physical home button.

I fail to see how your personal experience (and preference) relates to my complaint about useless 'experts' that are predicting bad earnings, with Apple proving them wrong every time at the next earnings report. For about 5 years in a row this has been the case and it has nothing to do with the actual products.

You misunderstand. These reports come out from third parties about 4 months after release, and are always disproven once Apple release their quarterly reports.

Even with the 6 you lost one-handed use, the ability to set the phone on edge on a flat surface, and pocketability.
