I’m on the fence at the moment.
Considering getting a new battery for my 13 pro max and waiting till 16 comes out. What’s everyone else doing?

that was my plan, kept strong then a few days ago got offered a 14 pro max at a price i couldn't refuse, so will see what the 15 is like, no rush.
 
It's hard to say when you don't know what is going to launch with the 15. In saying that - my 13 Pro Max is still rock solid performance and battery wise. The camera is still pretty decent, but if the 15 has something ridiculous camera wise, that might make me upgrade.

Otherwise I will stick with my 13 PM until the 16.
 
Love my 13 Pro Max, however Im planning on upgrading to the 15 Pro Max.

All of the features of the 14 Pro Max as well as the new design, usb-c, camera improvements (telephoto camera!), new cellular modem, etc

I find the current 13 Pro Max size to be perfect (I can easily use it one handed), so im not sure about the next 16 Pro Max increasing in size (especially in height), which is all the more reason for me to upgrade to the "last" 6.7in iPhone Pro Max.

This is superficial but the color options have kept me from upgrading my 13 Pro Max. From my perspective the color options for the 15 don't look any better.

no way selling my green 13 pro max 1TB for which i pay 38 paunds a month ( giffgaf deal 940 paunds like new )
120 hz display was big point for me , maybe iphone 18 240hz and proved to be battery champion device like the 13 pro max then will think again
 
Depends on the features that will be announced, periscope camera is intriguing but I am looking for optical zoom and from what I have found out thus far it’s going to be digital… and while I’m looking to move to USB-C that alone is not a good reason, and all the other rumors won’t convince me either.
So, I’ll decide after announcement
 
I like my 13 pro max.... I wish I would have gotten more storage. But with USB-C, hopeful major camera improvements and somehow better battery life. It may get me. If not... I fully believe my 13 pro max will easily last another year without a hitch.
 
Doubt it (bought my 13 pro max with the expectation of holding on to it for at least 4 years), but you never know.

My 13 PM is a workhorse and I don’t think I’ll be upgrading this year as well. However if the 15 PM has a titanium chassis it’ll be tempting. But I’m positive I’ll stick to my current phone.

I was seriously considering getting the 15 Pro Max but with rising interest rates and a lot of economic uncertainty right now, I think my money will do a better job in a secured investment.

My 13 Pro Max is still on 100% battery health (got it August 2022), so no real need to get something new but it would have been nice to get the 15 Pro Max, that 3nm A17 Bionic is sure to be a game changer in efficiency and battery life.

Will see how I feel come October 2023, but if late 2023 is anything like early 2023, a lot of people will be downsizing and reprioritising A LOT of things.

This exactly. Mine is the 13P in Sierra Blue. It's running great and I have lots of wonderful cases for it so I'm keeping it until they offer a compelling color option or some feature I can't live without. I used to trade every year but I love my phone and I love the light blue.

Another thing that I find curious is it appears the the 15 Pro is going to have the same form factor as the 12 Pro, 13 Pro and 14 Pro. So now Apple is going 4 years between redesigns? Definitely not enough compelling changes to justify a new phone.
