Are we not considering that not everyone has a 15th Gen or even a 14th Gen iPhone. On average 61% of IPhone users keep their phone for 2 or more years. At my job all 9 of us have IPhones and I’m the only idiot that needs to upgrade yearly. Most of my workers are over 45 and still have IPhones with a home button. I could only imagine if I went from and IPhone 10 to this one. It would have been mind blowing.
Don’t use it. Problem solved.I am on the side that absolutely dislike the camera button.
Literally. Just pretend it’s the 5G mmWave antenna cover that used to be thereDon’t use it. Problem solved.

Need to?Exactly, I think it is kind of a flex that someone could say that their year old phone is still running great and no need to upgrade.
All of this makes it so tempting to upgrade from my 14 Pro Max. The battery life has gotten a bit better with iOS 18 though.As a 13 Pro Max owner the 16 Pro Max is a MASSIVE Upgrade. It’s all the 15 Pro Max owners who are upset posting that it’s NOT a Good Upgrade.
#1. it’s a bigger Display HELLO !
#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
#5. ARM 9.2 vs ARM 8.6 on the 15 Pro Max
#6. New Stronger Glass
#7. 48MP Ultra Wide faster camera with a dedicated button. The 15 Pro Max is 12MP Ultra Wide.
ill stop here it a massive improvemen.
If long lines are a sign of anything …. Longest I’ve seen in years!!
well it's still a phone doing phone stuff. All the changes you have listed are incremental at best.As a 13 Pro Max owner the 16 Pro Max is a MASSIVE Upgrade. It’s all the 15 Pro Max owners who are upset posting that it’s NOT a Good Upgrade.

Doesn’t look bad? El Cerritos?![]()
This was the line at the Apple Store in the Cerritos Mall in Cerritos, Ca. Today Saturday 9/21
But people are still paying for itDon’t use it. Problem solved.
These same people also complain that upgraded M series chips in the spec bump refreshes of the various Mac models aren’t enough of an improvement over the prior generation to justify upgrading (as though the majority of Mac and PC users don’t keep their machines for years on end).Lots of people are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that the smartphone is an established and mature product at this point. The days of big upgrades each year or even every two years are over. If I didn't care about having the max storage and top camera then I'd still use my iPhone 13 Pro.

Yes!! My 14 Plus has 91 battery capacity left after 2 years of use.Smartphones are like tvs now. No reason to upgrade until yours dies. It is what it is.
