I am hoping the pro & pro max have better antennas. The only time I have slow reception is when I'm at work. The Samsung's have better reception at my work. I wonder why.
Got a tip for us?

Yup but if you know that some people consider is as bad, then you should think before buying!
Yeah but now you might lose your x5 zoom, there should be a fourth camera on the iPhone for like x5 and x15
Seriously? Obviously anyone buying a $1k tech device "should think before buying." Of course "some people" will think all kinds of things, but that does not mean that one should include them in the decision making.
Personally I am interested in capture competence rather than in counting lenses. Asking for "a fourth camera on the iPhone for like x5 and x15" IMO is just silly.
The number of lenses is already IMO very impressive for a small smartphone device that fits in my pocket. Walk into a camera shop and look at tele lenses; check out sizes and prices.
Sorry but that is a nonsensical statement. I explore new iPhone Pros with care, and IMO each iPhone Pro generation improves. Some folks may not like certain new features, but unequivocally each generation improves. Suggesting "Tho iPhone 16 Pro will be better" without having even touched a 17 pro makes no sense.
I'd like to, but Apple refuses to make a small phone! I'd love a shiny new 17 Mini if such a thing were to exist
Potentially may upgrade from 15 Pro to 17 Pro.
Battery health is degrading fast, been weighing up whether to get battery replaced for £100 or use that towards new phone
Improved thermals, anti reflective screen, improved cameras (5x zoom), ram increase etc all sound nice upgrades too.

Look @everyone if there is an iPhone 17 mini, IT’S A GOOD PHONE… everyone can buy it…
But I don’t think there will be.
Still on the 12MaxP but the case just broke and the battery is shot...so time to upgrade, I'm excited for the longer battery life and some other features/upgrades.
You don't know what the upgrade is going to be though, nothing has been released just speculation.
Can I??? Oh thank you for your kind permission.
I went from a X Max to a 15 Pro when they came out, mostly because of the camera upgrade, I don't tend to upgrade my phone very often unless there is a compelling reason and year to year there really isn't much that changes enough. I suspect a lot of people feel the same way. My next phone upgrade will probably be iPhone 20 Pro or who knows,...
If you are getting a new iPhone let me give you some advice.
But on the other hand, I’m assuming you are intelligent and informed so you can make your own decisions based on your specific needs, desires, priorities and finances.
- faster CPU
- faster GPU
- faster NN/NPU
- better cameras
- (rumored) anti-glare screen
Yup buy it if you can but at least you thought before buying... this can help in future purchases !
You sure? There is no Final Cut Pro or Xcode on it yet... we will talk it again when there will be.
100% positive.
The ability to run those apps is not a requirement for something to be considered a computer.
Well it's the only way most can enjoy of the good performances of the computer... So yeah what are you going to do with all this power on your phone? 12gb of ram is cool but can you run two apps at the same time?
You asked why people were upgrading.
I answered that question, which has been the same answer I've given for every upgrade I've made since 2008 when I upgraded my original iPhone to the 3G.
I will pre-order a 17 Pro Max (or whatever it's called this year) on September 12th and look forward to unboxing it on September 19th, and will absolutely appreciate my new device for the year I have it.
It sounds like you're more interested in trying to convince people they don't enjoy the things they enjoy, which is a fool's errand. I upgrade for the reasons stated because those things are of value to me. They won't be of value to everyone, and that's fine, but they are to me (and many others, apparently), ergo I upgrade.
