Should I wait to buy my phone cheaper or buy it now?

Hi, so I have currently got an awful phone with poor battery life and was planning to upgrade for my birthday/Christmas. I have a way to get the iPhone 13 for £646 however this requires me to wait until after Christmas at least. The other option is to purchase the phone now for £744 from a local seller on a Black Friday deal. Now the question is do I wait and save £100 or buy it now and enjoy the new phone and battery now? Please let me know what you all think and I’ll reply to people as and when I can. Thanks

Is it worth the $100 to have it now? 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Well that’s sort of why I’m asking myself and why I asked here. I will be going away too and the amazing camera on that phone would be nice to take photos with.

I mean if you have the money to upgrade then why not? If you deem it worthy of upgrading then do so. If you know you won't be strapped for cash later down the road then I don't see why not. Just don't put yourself out over it.

I'm not sure how much $100 means to you. This is more of a "you need to decide" thing.

That’s what I thought but I also thought I’d just give it a go anyway and ask here.

If it's within a few weeks, wait. But if the window is too vague (4 weeks? 6? 8?), then spring for that deal.
