    Yeah I’m with you on the yearly upgrade thing, I lost interest quite some years ago. I only upgrade when I feel it’s a worthwhile one. I went from a iPhone 6 to the iPhone X and that was the game changer iPhone right there for me. Didn’t upgrade then untill the iPhone 13 but I didn’t go Pro & honestly I was disappointed with the 13, didn’t feel like an upgrade from my X at all I even preferred my iPhone X. Only now that I’ve started a RUclips channel do I wish I had gone for a Pro Model. Now the 16 Pro is out I’ll be upgrading to that & probably won’t again for a few years.

    I still have 100% battery health on my 15 Pro Max from launch day last year! IT's crazy. I've never had that after a year. So the only thing making me want to upgrade is the fact I'm already paying monthly, so I'd get a new iPhone and just keep paying monthly. The payment increases a bit but that's it. My 15 Pro Max cancels the loan out and I just keep paying monthly. So I don't need a new one and with 100% battery health there is no reason to get one, however if the payment only slightly increases and I get a new iPhone, then I may as well just do it. Because next year, the trade in for my UK iPhone will be a lot less and is always less than you get in the USA anyways.

      @Richard_Barnes 15 дней назад +2

      @@TravisMCP I must admit it’s not by any real ‘thought’ as such. I use it how I want and every night it’s charging on the Anker Cube MagSafe. So I think it learns that very quickly and then only does the 80% charge until before my alarm and does the 100% then. However, if I am driving it and use Google Maps a lot (which I do on holidays), I do plug it in all the time and so then I will make sure to set the maximum charge limit to 80% in the settings to save the heat effects at that top end of charging and topping up. Another note here is, in the car I never use MagSafe charging due to the slow speed and heat, I always use the USB-C. Anyway, I’m waffling, sorry.

      I could do the same thing buying it directly from Apple. The trade in on my 15 pro max clears the rest of my monthly payments and I could get the 16 pro max for the exact same monthly payments I have right now.
      However, if I don’t trade in this year and finish paying my current phone, when the 17 pro max comes out, I’ll have a fully paid phone probably still in great condition to pass it on to one of my children or I could trade in and pay less for the 17 pro max next year.
      Since I have ZERO complaints of my 15 pro max and let’s face it, we’re getting AI anyway, I’ve decided to carry on paying this one fully.

    I am probably upgrading. From the 13 pro. Reasons: I need the pro max, because i'm getting older and my eyes are worse every year. I tried increasing the font and display size on the regular phone, but it actually messes up some sites and apps with missing buttons and so on. Also the battery advantage. People say get the 15 pro max , but since I upgrade like every 3 -4yrs, matter as well get the newest thing.

      Idk who your carrier is but AT&T is offering the 16 PRO MAX for free when you trade in your 13 pro max. Only problem is you will have to wait 3 years for your next upgrade.

    Yeah the trade in is holding me back too; $200 for my 13 mini.
    The best offer from them is $300 on the 12 Pro Max, which isn’t much but definitely better than the person trading a base 14 for the same amount.
    I think the 16 series both have some solid improvements over the 15 but the AI stuff I’d find useful are coming to my iPad and MacBook so I’ll likely wait but I’m still curious on the SE4.

    I totally agree. I’m in the same boat. I would love to have the USB-C because I make videos with my phone all the time but to me the upgrade is not really worth it at this time just for USB-C. Yes, the battery life would be great too, but the same thing for me here in Canada the only wanna give me $750 Canadian and yet for a brand new one they wanna charge me $2350 Canadian I’m not satisfied with that because mine is a one terabyte version iPhone 14 Pro Max plus you have to add the tax on top of the $2350 yet no thx.
    I’ll wait till next year then I think it will be a better option for me to upgrade and then I don’t care what they give me for my phone .

  • @Jonathantuba

    I am in the same situation with having a 14 Pro Max, but in my case the battery is really bad with that now. Can hardly last the day without a charge, so I am on the verge of upgrading. Less than 4-hours now until orders open for the 16 Pro Max for me to decide? The 80% charge limit on new phone is a big improvement in my opinion. I am sure my 14 Pro Max battery is done through repeated charging to 100% and getting really hot (sometimes I can hardly touch it, it is so hot). My iPad Pro M4 now with almost half of year of use with charge limit always kept to 80% still has 100% usable battery with no degradation. My trade in offer is £575 which I actually thought was pretty good.

    Hey Travis, thanks for your thoughts on this. I currently have the iPhone 14 Pro Max, same as you, and soon after the release, I came to the same conclusion as you - I will also not be upgrading this year. My reasoning is similar to yours; quite frankly, I do not have the funds to spend on a new iPhone every year, and so I want to make sure that, if/when I do buy a new one, that it is for what I would consider to be a major step up in capability that will add value to my life. So, like you said - maybe next year.

    Enjoyed the vid! I am in the same boat as you lol. I currently have a 14 plus, it is working fine but I'm really close to pulling the trigger on the 16 or 16 pro., for the same reasons you gave (plus the dynamic island) I think I want to downsize my screen this time around. But like you said, the trade in value is low, even lower than your 14-pro max. But if I do it I figure I better do it as soon as possible before it goes any lower lol. Good vid, keep up the good work!

  • @NDSIser

    Main reason I’m holding out is the 17 pro is probably going to be an incremental upgrade that “fixes” potential 16 problems and by then the AI stuff will have been out and tweaked. Still rocking the 12 pro max with one battery replacement, it’s already down to 93% health so let’s see what happens faster this shitty battery draining or the iPhone 17

    I have a 13 pro max and I’m also not upgrading. To be honest I’m more interested in waiting for the SE4 next spring. More than likely I won’t be getting a pro version next time I upgrade. It’ll be a plus model or the SE4. But I’ll wait for the 17 and decide then. If it has no substantial value then I’ll continue to keep my current paid for version until it breaks or is no longer supported with security updates.

    As a photographer since the mid 80s , for hire , a few things stick out every year to me -
    1- how they keep cramming more megapixels in every year . Megapixels are not as important as you’d think .
    I’ve gone from higher megapixel cameras to lesser , there a lot more to photography than megapixels.
    I’ve sold images with less …
    The sensor is very important.
    2- 95% of people have absolutely NO CLUE, as to how to take images , not do they CARE, not all - Most .
    Since facebooks inception , I’ve never seen so many really awful photos than now , and what’s MORE interesting, is the comments - “ Gorgeous “
    “ Beautiful “ , Wow.

    Let’s be honest , you see what most people are doing with these cameras on the phone .
    People don’t know what they don’t know , and don’t care .
