Few reasons:

1. Double the storage for me
2. The battery life is noticably better. Mine is starting to drain faster than before.

3. I get renewed warranty
4. Better trade in value for S24U

On #4 -- Let's say you pay $300 out of pocket to buy S23U now, the trade-in difference between S22U and S23U when S24 is out will be more than $300? Is that what you are saying?

Trade in last year's $1000 phone to get an almost-identical experience for just $285 more! Oh and ofc, be a trust fund kid to be able to afford these things every year year after year too, what an awesome deal
A few hundred bucks a year doesn't make you a trust fund kid, lol.

I buy strictly from the Samsung and hold out until I find great trade-in deals. The most I've paid for a phone in years is $600 and a trade-in for my Fold 4. I've gotten free or heavily-discounted buds. I paid like $87 for my Watch5 Pro and free Buds2 Pro and the only thing I had to trade in was my S22 Ultra for the 23 Ultra.

A phone is a very personal device and there's nothing wrong with upgrading it if and when you want to.

Got to trade s22u for s23u + s8 (non-ultra or plus) for s9ultra for $357. Used edu discount & app $25 first time discount + some rewards points. Overall, it's not bad deal considering I upgraded to 512gb on both the items (s23u and s9u) and upgraded to tab s ultra from a regular 11" one. Slickdeal!

Why would I want to trade in my S22 Ultra for an S23 Ultra, not much of a upgrade.
Huge upgrade. Nearly double the battery life and it's noticeably snappier. I hated my s22u.

Really depends on what you see as an upgrade. Innovation-wise yeah there isn't much of anything new to the table. Hardware-wise its pretty much getting the latest technology. Going from S21 Ultra to S22 Ultra felt more of a side grade than going S23 Ultra.

Lets see here:
Going Victus+ to Victus 2 .. eh majority of the time we put screen protector anyways nothing biggy.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 .. You might not think its a big deal but it goes from Samsung process to TSMC process, and we all know Samsung process sucks so we get a decent performance boost, less heat etc... CPU configuration definitely boosted for performance... Latest Adreno 740 for the gamers out there and again less heat.

UFS 3.1 to UFS 4.0... sure not NVME speeds like the iPhones but a big up in drive speeds!

RAM upgrade not bad either LPDDR5 3200MHz to LPDDR5X 4200MHz support, less power with more bandwidth/speed. If you're going from 8GB to 12GB its nice to have.

Bluetooth 5.2 to 5.3 etc...

TL;DR, is it worth it to upgrade? it depends on the person, if I'm on my phone a lot, play games, it feels more of an improvement from S22U -> S23U than it was for S21U -> S22U.. at least for me, even with VRR the S22U ran hotter and almost the same battery life. With S23U using Light Profile I'm getting an additional 1-2+ hours on my phone so I'm not sure how much of importance that is to a person. Unfortunately not all places are the same, where I live it will cost $304 to upgrade where as people living in higher taxed area have to pay +$100 which is a bit much so probably not worth it at that point. To others its a new battery, new warranty, faster phone, heats up less, lasts longer.

Question is:
In 5 months S24U is coming out so will S23U fair a better trade in price over S22U?

Will there be more deals closer to Black Firday/Christmas?

Not bad since you're already using Fi, because those are 24 months bill credit.

IF you need S22U to trade for $900 discount on Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung also has discounted Galaxy S22 Certified Re-Newed for ~$594 (or less ~$535 with Employer/Education offer).
