S7 to S9 conundrum (alien.top)

Debating wether tomorrow to upgrade my S7 with 91% health to an S9. Reason tomorrow being that there’s a £40 gift card, and buying AirPod for Xmas, so it’s £40 off as well in a roundabout way.

Also I’d trade on the S7, and get £140 of checks ok (I have a scratch on face which annoys me, and no idea how got)

So anyone upgraded S7 to S9 and felt it was worth to? There doesn’t seem to be much updated tbh, I’m just thinking next year maybe a bigger update, but maybe a price increase, band incompatibility.

I always wear my watch, wouldn’t say a power user if it, but handy for numerous basic stuff that I use day to day.

So effectively it’s a £260 cost to upgrade. Not doing now the trade in goes down, and I know that trading elsewhere online they’ll downgrade because of the scratch, hoping Apple dismiss it. If they didn’t I’d just keep

Given the difference from the 7 to 9 is incremental at best, a faster chip that doesn’t seem to be more efficient in extending battery life in this round of use, double tap which is cute, but not groundbreaking, and a limited Siri on watch for those times you don’t have any type of cellular it WiFi connection (maybe you’re a heavy user of Siri, me, good for timers is about it). I have an S7 and compared, and there is no way I can justify an upgrade. I would save the £40 gift card for the AirPods pro and slap a screen protector on so you don’t see the scratch and wait to see if the S10 is worth it.
