Anyone else not happy with that huge camera bump?
Anyone here considering getting the iPhone 15 pro max later this year? Is the potential price increase making you reconsider?
I’ve never found a reason to buy a phone that large. I’m probably going to get the 15 Pro though since I need an upgrade.
I’ve been loving the size of my 11/13/14 Pros the last few years and if USB-C is a reality I’ll definitely be getting a 15 pro. But if the rumors are true about only the 15 pro max having the new periscope camera, I will be tempted to jump up to the larger phone for that.
Curious, what’s the benefit to upgrading that quickly? iPhones can last a lot longer than a year, and what are you doing with the old ones?
Almost zero benefit. I finally started to just use the Apple Upgrade Program and effectively look at the phone as a rental. We get a credit from work to use a device as BYOD so it ultimately is nice to simply have a new phone all the time.
I love my 13 Pro Max and if the 15 Pro Max has USB-C like all the rumors indicate then it’s a day one buy for me.
Why? Androids are cheaper for the same phone.
Boy, did you follow the wrong subredd- I mean, forum.
Uh lol. This shit is on All because Lemmy is about this big 🤏.
Apple phones are slightly worse hardware for more money. Here's the a comparison:
Thanks for enlightening the apple_enthusiast forum. We can go ahead and shut it down now. 👍

Except that from a soc standpoint android phones are just so much slower than iPhones it’s really not even comparable
Not sure if serious comment..
I might upgrade my 12 just because of the USB-C connection.
iPhone 18 is just gonna look like a spider's face on a slab.
Eight lenses? I’m in.
