I've had a bit of a weird phone journey in the past year but I'm going from 15 Plus to 16 Pro Max, will get the white titanium (or whatever it will be called).
This time 12 months ago I had a 13 Pro that was almost out of contract. I was really unhappy with the battery performance, was unsure if I was making enough use of the Pro features to be worthwhile and wanted to try the bigger size. So I decided on the 15 Plus.
Wow, that battery is a beast, and it convinced me that I really like bigger phones, so I'd say I've had a positive experience with it overall. But I miss 120Hz and am disappointed that a year-old phone won't get all the iOS 18 features.
So off to the 16 Pro Max I'll go some point soon, but my bank balance is telling me that I MUST keep it for AT LEAST 2 years lol.
