Also as a 15 pro max user before upgrading to the 17 Pro max I am fine with my 17 pro max purchase and plan to keep it until the iPhone 19 or 20. Was anyone else here on these forums when Jerry Rig's 15 Pro max durability test video dropped? The back shattered instantly in his hand and everyone was trashing titanium and saying that it feels less premium/ cheap compared to the stainless steel build on the 14 pro max. Then of course "heatgate" got added on and people said the phone was terrible. Yet now, people don't mind and think the phone is fine. I feel like the same will happen here. Like I mentioned, cosmetic damage sucks but as long as the phone still functions after drops is all that really matters. A case can hide chips and dings at the end of the day. Nothing can hide a shattered screen.
