and why would she only ask/care about the improvements from last year's 15PM?!?
Exactly this, makes absolutely no sense when she's coming from a much older iPhone. Why would she care?

16 pro max is a great upgrade for those with the 14 or older. It’s not as impressive for 15 pro max owners. But the minor upgrades. People will be telling you the 17 is a massive upgrade and you will feel like 15 pro max owners now. It’s a cycle lolThe 16 Pro Max is a MASSIVE Upgrade. It’s all the 15 Pro Max owners who are upset crafting narrative posts that it’s NOT a Good Upgrade. 16 Pro Max is the biggest Upgrade in the last 5 years here is why.
#1. it’s a bigger Display HELLO ! ALMOST 7” inch’s That’s a Tablet.
#2. 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 7500Mhz Vs the 15 Pro Max LPDDR5 RAM runs at 3200Mhz Hello !
#3. 4K HDR @120 FPS video, 15 Pro Max ain’t doing that.
#4. WIFI 7 with 6Ghz Radio Band.
#5. ARM 9.2 vs ARM 8.6 on the 15 Pro Max (this is likely the most significant Update in Architecture and Kernel securit)
#6. New Stronger Glass
#7. 48MP Ultra Wide faster camera with a dedicated button. The 15 Pro Max is 12MP Ultra Wide.
#8. Virtually bezeless
#9. Thanks to iOS 18 Nerf to the A17 Pro the A18 Pro was 15% faster now it’s 25% Faster (that’s what Apple does)
#10. Good luck getting Dolby Vision recording like this out of any other iPhone they just Can’t
#11. Enhanced 3nm die fixes all the overheating issues found on the A17 Pro CPU.
Maybe it will be 5 more years before the iPhone line grows in size again.
ill stop here it a massive improvemen.

Is it?!With some of these responses, it’s clear who’s married and who’s not. 😁
You try bringing that list of iPhone comparison specs to any non-tech nerd girl/woman, and see if they’ll be impressed by that.
People like his wife don’t even care about most of those features.The 16 Pro Max is a MASSIVE Upgrade. It’s all the 15 Pro Max owners who are upset crafting narrative posts that it’s NOT a Good Upgrade. 16 Pro Max is the biggest Upgrade in the last 5 years here is why.

I'm ordering 5 miss 16PMs in retaliation!Every year the same threads. I personally love the look at me, I’m sticking it to apple and their upgrade.
While I’m a bit of a tech nerd, my wife is not at all and simply uses her trusty 12 Pro Max over the last 4 years. Since it’s her only device I figured I’d surprise her and purchased a 16 Pro Max which we picked up on release day from the Apple Store. She seemed excited on the drive over and while picking it up, but once we got home and we were about to begin the setup she asked me what the improvements were between last year and this years…
I told her the 16 Pro Max has:
A) Camera button on the side
B) Screen is 0.2 inches bigger
C) Battery lasts a few hours longer
D) Ultra-wide camera has a 48mp sensor
E) Apparently gets less hot during use
F) Might get some AI stuff next year
She looked at me for a moment to gather her thoughts and said “That’s it? While I really appreciate the sweet thought of you getting me a new phone, I don’t think this years model is really worth the money. We should probably just return it and wait for a more substantial upgrade as I can stick with my current phone for another year.” 🤣
Wonder how good / bad the sales numbers will be for this cycle if even non-techie people are not convinced to upgrade their old phones 🤔
I’d say having it for the sake of having it is the worse one, for I can notice the difference between 120hz and 60hz. I guess it highly depends on each individual.when i had a samsung ultra i was a big proponent of the 120hz and then i downgraded to a 15 plus…and i really havnt cared ive actually barely noticed
i think people are irrationally infected with being on the cutting edge. i certainly was but now i consider it a sickness and for the vast majority it is but a superficial obsession
Sounds like your non techie wife really doesn’t need even an iPhone 12. Coming from a 12, the 4K 120 , the built in stabilization, macro lens are just a few things I’ve been wanting for a long time but waited. If you are using it to get on social media, listen to music,watch videos, take photos during day, yes, even the iPhone X is good enough. But stop trying to make it seem like it’s not substantial change from a 12 to this one, because it most definitely is.While I’m a bit of a tech nerd, my wife is not at all and simply uses her trusty 12 Pro Max over the last 4 years.

The lesson should be stick with a carrier that is willing to subsidize your new device every three years and be willing to recognize the value of trading in your old device to take advantage of the subsidy.The lesson here is to marry someone who is able and willing to purchase their own devices.
Yeah the more I think about this is seems OP is trolling and made this whole thing up.
