So if you already own a iPhone XsMax why are you getting a or why do you want a 11 Pro Max ?

Are the cameras on the XsMax just horrible and unacceptable?

Or why please share your thoughts I genuinely want to know.

Not because the XS Max camera is horrible, but because the 11 Pro camera is better and more versatile.
  • 3 new lenses
  • Including ultra wide
  • Night Shot mode
  • Ability to shoot video with multiple camera lenses at once
  • Ability to quickly switch between photo and video recording with the slide of a button
  • 5 extra hours of battery life
  • And I prefer the larger screen

Main reason...Apple is giving me $600 for my xs max. So phones only $500. Cancel the Apple care on my xs max then Apple care should I decide to get it for the pro max only $100. If I don’t get it then the phone only cost me $400. Then next year when hopefully they go back to the iPhone 4 design I get $600 back for the pro max and do the cycle all over again. Same thing as carrier payments or iup in the long run, just larger up front payment. But I own the phone and have no payments to make.

Second reason, battery life. While the xs max has great battery life, the rumored 5 hours more is that much better.

Third reason, I’m off work currently waiting for surgery. I literally have nothing better to do.

Fourth and final reason, I’ve preordered every other iPhone starting with the iPhone 4, might as well keep the streak alive.
 
This.

Since getting on the IUP I never use a case. My screen has accumulated some micro scratches. Time for a fresh one.
 
Me too. My daughter gets my old phone, so it all works out.

I'm tempted to go back to just a skin this year. I used to use just a skin but then changed that up the last two years.... loving the black camo skins available this year... but then I just bought a GREEN phone and want to see that so maybe just clear case this year?

For the better battery and better camera. And also because I will be passing my current iPhone Xs Max to my wife.
