iPhone 15 Pro Max Planning to upgrade?

[eoblaed]

The question is never "am I going to upgrade?" Of course I am. This is the piece of tech I use more than any other in my life, so having the most modern, most capable device for that task is an easy decision every year.

The question is always "which color am I going to get?" With rare exception, I go with whatever 'black' is available (there were a couple of years I went with white). I'm really interested to see what the rumored orange option looks like though... who knows, I might break hard with tradition!

I plan to move from my 15PM 512GB to a 17PM 1TB if my eyes allow it. I am one who is impacted by OLED displays and PWM, but the 15PM has worked pretty well for me and I will happily hold onto it if needed. Mainly I am interested in the cooling chamber and camera improvements across the board.

I'd really like to see an upgrade to the camera zoom. Google have just done 100x on the Pixel 10, the iPhone doesnt need to go that far because it's it not really usable at 100x. I just want some better cameras, im currently on the 15 Pro Max.

I hope Apple will give me a reason to upgrade this year. I wasn't impressed with the 16 lineup last year. Very similar to my 15 Pro Max.

The rumor at the moment for the Pro Max is 8x optical zoom and supposedly the lens will be moveable, allowing for for the zoom to remain optical anywhere between 5x and 8x as opposed to now, where optical is only the exact presents such as 2x and 5x. I think it will also be nice moving from our 12mp ultra wide and telephoto lenses to 48mp for both. And the front camera doubling to 24mp is nice too. I am pretty excited at this point even if none of it is earth shattering.

Very true, i believe the big upgrades will be next year. There is rumoured to be an iPhone fold, although I’m not sure about foldables at the moment, if anyone can pull it off I’m hoping it’s Apple.

I’m going to hold off for another year I think. I’m still loving the 15PM, works perfectly. I can’t see the new camera bump growing on me even though I’ve tried to like pictures of it, so I guess my only option right now would be 16PM….but that’s so similar as to not be worth the upgrade….20th anniversary for me.

I’m the opposite, i really like the look of the new camera bar especially if it serves a purpose for better cameras. The rumoured orange colour also looks great (although i do wish they would make a red variant).
