Hey guys.

I am kinda torn this year. Questions in bold.

Coming from a 14 Pro Max who really need a upgrade in terms of smartphone health I have two choices:

The "old" 16 Pro Max.
The "ultra ugly" 17 Pro Max.

I own a Fuji X-T5 Camera I carry much everywhere .. so cameras would be "nice", but no must.
I don't use AI that much ... any hard differences here?
Both have 6'9 ... same PPI ... the 17 is by a huge margin brighter ... worth it?
Is the battery differences really noticeable?
I don't game at all...
Any other important things I overlook?
and .. how good holds the Titanium + Glass combo up in terms of scratches ? (for those using it since a year without a case) ... the 17 Pro doesn't get that well critics so far after a couple of days ...

Soo ... 16 Pro Max for me just because it visually much more appeal to me? (1.269€).
Or Pay 200€ more for a bunch of features "I" don't believe I'll need except the battery & screen brightness for 1.449 € ?

What would "YOU" do.

Thanks.

Tough call, most will say get the 17 pro max it's the newest one, will get an extra year of updates blah blah blah.

The 16 Pro max is one hell of a phone and is still relevant.

If I were you would probably get the 16 pro max.
