I fall under this. I'll be upgrading from an 11 Pro this time around mainly because I've let my battery go bad.

We can do most things from the simulator and when we need bluetooth or CoreLocation we can always run the app as a Mac app and use the computers chips.

The job title is a nice excuse to get the latest and greatest but it's not strictly necessary.

Why not replace the battery?
I've also dropped it a fair amount of times without a case so it's in rough shape. I'd be lying if I said the USB-C port and Ti shell weren't contributing factors to me upgrading.
