not sure if 17PM will be heavier.

I’m upgrading. My battery life sucks ( way worse than my 13PM when I switched to the 15PM) and I’m tired of my phone doubling as a hand warmer.

Planning on upgrading from my 15 Pro Max to the 17 Pro Max. Hoping that the zoom is 5x at least. Would be really nice if the orange color comes to the Pro model.

I’m tempted by the Air, particularly if it has ProMotion. As I have a big Nikon Z series camera now, I care much less about the iPhone camera so don’t mind stepping back from the pro setup. Currently have a 14PM, and most likely will end up getting the 17PM if the final spec list on the Air doesn’t sway me.

I’m not so keen on the shift back to aluminium. I am very fond of the look and feel of the stainless steel and prefer it to the titanium of the 15/16 Pros. The orange will be my first choice if it’s a copper tone, but I’ll go blue if it’s anything like the more recent renders are showing.

I am not hugely excited by the 17 series, and have a feeling the 18 might have more wow factor and I’ll end up upgrading again next year. But 3 years is enough for a refresh for me and I can hand the 14PM off to family who are much older devices.

Nooo, I have a 16 Pro Max and have another year on my contract anyway. Quite enjoying the fact the rumours of the 17 Pro/Pro Max show there to be very little in the way of big improvements, which is the way it should be when paying so much for these devices.

Likely not, for the first time in quite a few years. Even after Apple fixed the iPhone 6 debacle ("bend-gate"), I had some display issues that I think were caused by flexing of frame. The 48mp tele lens is very attractive, but I don't have any complaints about the current version. I will probably let all the upgraders be the gamma testers on the new aluminum chassis.

Changing my 16 Pro for a 17 Pro Max. In 2026 I’m fairly sure I’ll decide the PM is too big and go back to the Pro. At least I’m predictable

Most likely upgrading from a 15 Pro 256GB to equivalent 17. Battery is 90% but struggling to get through the day. Its in good condition and will do a trade in.
