Here in the UK 3-4 years is pretty normal. You can have a shorter, more expensive one but most people stretch it to save money. The phone cost is split into equal monthly interest free payments.

I would have gotten the Pro Max if it had an improved main camera. As it stands, the only reason to get a Pro Max now is battery the screen which is good in terms of parity between the two models, but poor in terms of innovation.
I’m very disappointed this year. if the back of my 12 Pro Max wasn’t cracked I probably wouldn’t be upgrading this year. I’m considering upgrading to the 16+ and then paying it off then selling it next year to get the 17 Pro Max. The colors are so bland on the pros this year and not much has changed from last year with the exception of the size increease.
Where’s faster wired charging, and where’s brighter displays 1000nits isn’t enough with auto brightness off; and what happened to jpg-xl format
Only $500 trade in from my 512GB 14PM with 97% health battery lol was $640 last week gift card via Apple.
Nothing we don’t have a vapour chamber they said only 20% better and that’s not much
48mp wide angle camera, 5x Telephoto camera (which is actually kinda too long tbh), 4K 120fps Prores Log recording, better battery life, new dedicated and capacitive photo button with haptic feedback, action button, Apple Intelligence... that's about it.
I was seriously considering moving to a google pixel (from my iPhone 15 Pro Max), until android had their big security issues the last week or so. This new crop of iPhones are uninspiring. The fold phones are pretty compelling IMO.
What was the whole "Glow" thing supposed to be about?
this is a problem with physics + optics, not really solvable with these phone camera lenses.
They weren’t kidding when they said iPhone X will be the direction for the next 10 years.. in a bad way
The Siri animation they kept acting like was so cool in the videos
I'll be coming from a 14PM, so the size will barely change. Keep in mind that the bezels are smaller, so the increase in screen size doesn't equal increase in phone size 100%
oh ok good to know. maybe worth considering then! guess have to see it or a comparison online?
When I went from a 13 pro to a 14 pro max, I bought both the max and the reg of the 14 pros and kept the 14 pro sealed — opened the 14 Pro Max and after about a week I knew I wasn't going back to the smaller phone — and just returned it. You can't really decide objectively by looking at it in the store or similar — you need to give yourself a little bit of time.
Underwhelming presentation this year but I definitely love the dedicated camera button and it's features though.
I was going to jump ship to the Pixel this year BUT will wait until Google actually has a better processor that'll compete with actual flagship devices. Until then, the 16 Pro it is lol

This is my exact feeling. I've been toying the idea of switching over to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold or Z Fold 6 for a few months now, but waited for this event. Just a whole slew of boring, same-ol-design hardware updates and a bunch of "coming this [arbitrary season]" statements. Tired of the whole slow-burn hype cycle. I might as well trade in my iPhone 15 Pro Max now while it has some value and enjoy the other side for a while until Apple can get a little out of its comfort zone.
What will you do with your Apple Watch Ultra? My investment in the Ultra 2 is the only thing preventing me from going to Pixel.
More Rounded corners-> less Rounded corners-> Square Corners ->More Rounded Corners or Bigger Bezel - > Smaller Bezel or Increase size by 0.1 inches -> decrease size by 0.1 inches. Repeat
IMO, I'm disappointed in the vitriol that is launched because the physical dimensions haven't changed. It was not "that" long ago that people were complaining about the minor dimensional changes that Apple was making just so they could sell more cases
