    Anyone here considering getting the iPhone 15 pro max later this year? Is the potential price increase making you reconsider?

      I’ve never found a reason to buy a phone that large. I’m probably going to get the 15 Pro though since I need an upgrade.

      The phone is just physically too large, so probably not.

      I love my 13 Pro Max and if the 15 Pro Max has USB-C like all the rumors indicate then it’s a day one buy for me.

      I’ve been loving the size of my 11/13/14 Pros the last few years and if USB-C is a reality I’ll definitely be getting a 15 pro. But if the rumors are true about only the 15 pro max having the new periscope camera, I will be tempted to jump up to the larger phone for that.

        Curious, what’s the benefit to upgrading that quickly? iPhones can last a lot longer than a year, and what are you doing with the old ones?

          Almost zero benefit. I finally started to just use the Apple Upgrade Program and effectively look at the phone as a rental. We get a credit from work to use a device as BYOD so it ultimately is nice to simply have a new phone all the time.

          Yeah, I agree they totally last longer, but I just like new tech and get excited about new releases. The excellent condition used phones have been used as upgrades for my parents or sold on swappa.

      I might have considered upgrading my 13 mini if an equivalent new model comes out. I want a smaller pocketable size, whether that’s a mini or a clamshell foldable

      I’m planning on moving from an 11 Pro to a 15 Pro, but not the Max versions, they’re just to big for me.

        I had the same plan, but my 11 shit the bucket a week ago. I ended up getting the 14 PM, now I’m kinda glad I did.

      I personally just think the pro max line is too big. I’ll be sticking to the pro for now

      I’m considering moving from the Pixel 6 back to an iPhone if USB-C is real. The last iPhone I had was the 5S and it was wonderful. I hated the design change and have been looking to go back since they squared off the sides again.

      I decided to get the 14 Pro Max after years of using a regular sized phone. The last time I used a phone this big was the 7 plus. I gotta say I like the big size!

      I probably won’t be upgrading any time soon though. Not until there’s a feature or upgrade that makes it really worth it.

      I want the bigger screen but I don’t care about extra camera stuff at all. Might consider 15 plus but want to see what cpu they put in the 15/15 plus.

      I’m a maybe. I’m waiting for the official release of features in September.

      If going off of rumors though, I may pass. Nothing has been exciting in iPhone releases for the past 3-4 years.

        I’m still on an 11 pro so usb-c might be the thing that convinces me

      Yeah I have because I got an iPhone XS Max, need an upgrade — but that price increase sucks…

      Definitely considering it. I’ve always gone back and forth between Android and iOS, and most recently went back to android because I like being able to install apps that aren’t on the centralised App/Play Store. But since I’m in the EU and they are forcing some kind of alternative app store and/or side loading on Apple (at least for us in the union) I’m feeling that my main gripe with iOS is finally getting remedied.

      I am. I really wish the nicer camera came in the smaller phone, but I’m a sucker for a good camera.

      I’m probably going to go with a 15 Pro. I’ve got a max now and while the screen and battery are great it may be a bit bigger than I need.

    People are shopping for phones now like subprime borrowers shop for cars. “I don’t care. What’s the monthly payment?”

      That’s a big part of why I’m going to upgrade from my 12 mini.

      Also looking forward to better battery life and the higher resolution camera (which if I remember right was mostly for low light pictures?).

    So no real news then, just the same thing that’s happened every year for the past decade or so?

      Pro Max prices have been static since their introduction with the 11: $1100 for the base model. Pro models have also been static at $1000, although this article only mentions Pro Max price increases.
