Upgraded: I was hesitant

Hey All,

I had the 15 Pro Max from launch day, and besides the battery life near the end had no complaints. Ended up in September just getting a new battery for it (it had over 600 cycles and around 80%).

Wife needed a new phone (not techy at all) so I upgraded to the 17 Pro Max. Here is what I found in case any of you are wanting to upgrade:

Battery Life is AMAZING! Like actually 2 days so far with regular use, maybe even 3 if you throw on power save mode. It’s legit insane, even compared to the new battery in the 15 Pro.

Camera- The 8X optical zoom is nice, and the camera button is okay. Kinda annoying when you accidentally hit it, but maybe I will get use to it.

That is it. Legit it lol. I heard someone compare the iPhone to the Porsche 911 and it’s so true. So little noticeable upgrades between years, it’s not worth it at ALL to do every year unless you want to spend $$.

I would hold on and keep the 15 Pro unless you are always on your phone and value the battery life, which again is significantly improved.

Color is nice though, but I love orange lol.
