Thinking about making a change
I am currently debating a little change
I currently have a 2009 C4S Cab Manual
Looking at a 2017 Turbo S Cab
Should I do it? I really hate that my car lacks apple car play and a backup camera.
2017 will give me both plus a bunch of HP. I would be losing the Manual transmission though.

If you want apple car play and a backup camera, an aftermarket head unit can do that.
If you’re looking for a more refined driving experience than your 997 and way more power, then yes, 991 turbo s is a great way to go. Drive one and if you like it, go for it.

In summary - the answer is YES - do it. Drive it and you'll know instantly if the decision makes sense to you.

I had a 15 991.1 GTS Cab that I traded for my 14 TT and I will never look back. The GTS sounded great but it lacked *****. The TT has big hairy *****! I find it much more fun on the street as the GTS had to be wound up at all times to make it go. What the TT lacks in sound compared to the GTS it more than makes up for in looks and TQ.
I felt the same way when I sent from an E90M to an F80M. I lost the sound but the tq more than made up for it. The reason I left the M cars was the F80M was numb. Everyone gets tired of missionary at some point. Doesn’t matter how hot they are.

I was just shopping and chose the 991.2 over the 991.1 TT. I was finding 2014 991.1 for about $110k and 2017 991.2 for about $130k. If the difference had been $30-40k, I might have gotten the .1 but it was only about $20k. The .2 has fuel injection with greater potential if you are into modding like me, and updated tech. It will be my primary driver so the convenience is worth something to me. As you go later models of 991.1, the already small price difference gets even smaller. I’d step up to the .2.
