I’ve got a 14 Pro.

I don’t think the Air is for me. I love the orange Pro but i didn’t really find any of the other features super compelling and I don’t think color alone is enough to justify a new phone.

I am a tad worried Apple won’t do colorful Pros again so I’ll be a bit sad if I miss out. Just not $1200 sad…

Nope... I've been a bit disappointed with the 16 Pro Max in general... I mean it's bigger than my 13 Pro was, but I'm not seeing a massive improvement. 3 years seemed an okay time to wait but I feel like these days you can go a lot longer.

I just can't believe with "Apple Intelligence" and all the bells and whistles they promote and all the shit they talk about previous generations and "the other platform" (never saying names) and they still mess up trace typing so badly. It's just wild.

The one thing I did think about the event was, for the first time ever, I thought, if I needed a new iPhone right now... I'd go base, not pro. 2X Zoom is all I really use on my Pro Max. I don't use the ultrawide. So the base does not have a telephoto, it has a 48MP camera, and it emulates 2X zoom by giving you a 24MP image of the middle. It's literally just cropping. But it has the desired effect and it's good enough for most people.

Just went from a 12 Pro Max to a 16 Pro Max

The higher refresh rate is nice, but I honestly could have stuck it out with the 12 for another year or two. Other than the camera and refresh rate, it doesn’t feel that different and I’m not much of a photographer.

Only reason I upgraded was that my carrier was offering an obscene trade in value, coupled with a promo discount the transition came close to being free ($2/mo for the next 2 years)

I went for it , kind of.

My teens have 13 pro and complaining that battery health is under 80%. Also you miss out on some of the AI features if that’s important to you. I wasn’t ready to upgrade, but the kids are driving it this time.

1. Adults buy a new 17
2. Teens upgrade to adults former 15 pro - much better battery and supports all ai features

After their capitulation to fascism I will try to avoid buying any Apple products ever again. My 15 Pro will hopefully be my last. Their monopolistic walled garden is making it extremely difficult to migrate away gradually.

Just waiting on the future of GrapheneOS and linux phones given the EU's recent attacks on encryption etc.

Upgrading to Airpods Pro 3, from Beats Studio Buds+.

Still waiting for new generation HomePod.

I upgraded from the 13 to the 16 Pro last year. It was a huge upgrade. I'm sure the 17 is an even bigger upgrade.

I think, that I will upgrade to 16 pro max used by a friend who protects their phone that much, that it looks like new 😆

And I think, my 12mini goes down to my son, soon

Waiting on the rumored Apple tv 4K 2025
