My current plan is a 17 Pro Max 2TB in Orange.

No interest at all in the silver or blue.

If the orange is close enough to the button on my Apple Watch Ultra (Gen 1), I'll keep it. If not, it'll be an immediate refund and I'll pass this year (for the first time) and keep my 16 Pro Max 1TB (Black).
 
just did my pre-selection on Apple for the IUP program; went with the 17 Pro Max 2TB blue. Just have to sign in Friday morning to finalize submission.

Finally I can put all my photos back on phone. ran out of memory with 1TB and had to move my library back to Cloud this year. Will be good to have everything on phone in full res without having to always download.
 
Vaguely considering it to future-proof, but 400 for 1 extra TB is a lot. Not sure. What are you planning to use all the space for?
To be honest 90% of the people would use that space for Extra Special videos
but it is not worth the price. Much better if a Professional Camera person uses an external 4TB SSD for around $300 to record videos.
 
I have a lot of stuff (photos, videos, documents, music etc.), on my phone, but 256 GB seems to be enough for me with another 200 gigas of iCloud storage… I’ll probably get 512 GB (or maybe 1 TB) the next time, but I don’t know if I need it, as I still have 100 gigabytes left on my phone’s storage and only 60-something GBs stored on iCloud… 2 TB seems like overkill to me, especially for the price jump, like others have mentioned.
 
Going 2TB to match my 2TB iPad Pro and Macbook Pro. I take a lot of 4K/60 ProRes videos and they can fill up very quickly. Plus, with the new vapor chamber, I'll definitely be putting the iPhone to the test with LumaFusion.

I ordered a 2TB Cosmic Orange. Current phone is a 512gb 13PM. Had to be selective, manage and regularly delete stuff last couple of years, and go lower quality than I’d like with Apple Music downloads, video etc. Next Friday, it’s funtime! Lossless all the way with complete abandon 😀

It’ll be at least 4 or 5 years until my next iPhone so thought what the heck. Zero interest in folding phone. Maybe in it’s 3rd or 4th iteration I will consider it, when it has a proven track record and can last 3 or 4 years minimum with zero issues.

I ordered the 1 TB Cosmic Orange, but should have ordered the 2 TB...

Thought I still had lots of room left on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, but just saw this

I can't decide between the 512 or 1 TB.... I have 14 PM 1 TB and only have used 78 GB. lol. But I want to start doing some videos for YouTube etc
 
While I, here picked up the 256 gb model of the pro max. I'm only using like 60 gb and rest on icloud.
 
I have 16PM 512 and have 80 GB left so I'm going with 512. If it gets close to being full, I'll get the 1TB next year. The problem is the memory is pricy and Apple doesn't give any higher trade in value so if it goes unused then I've wasted $200 going to 1TB. My friend has a 256 and I have a 512 16PM and we are both getting 700 trade in.
