People are shopping for phones now like subprime borrowers shop for cars. “I don’t care. What’s the monthly payment?”
Anyone here considering getting the iPhone 15 pro max later this year? Is the potential price increase making you reconsider?
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:

Except that from a soc standpoint android phones are just so much slower than iPhones it’s really not even comparable
I’m probably going to go with a 15 Pro. I’ve got a max now and while the screen and battery are great it may be a bit bigger than I need.
So no real news then, just the same thing that’s happened every year for the past decade or so?
