Here’s my honest take. If you have an iPhone 14 Pro Max or older, yes. This is a massive leap. The camera alone is worth it. Plus you get the shiny new design.
If you have the iPhone 16 Pro Max? Maybe skip. Unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket. Or you’re a photographer. Or you just want to flex on your neighbors. No judgment.
But if you’re the type who loves the best? The 17 Pro Max is going to be the one. It’s the phone you’ll show your friends and say, “Look at this zoom!” And they’ll roll their eyes. But secretly they want one too.
So keep your eyes peeled. Apple will announce it around September. Start saving your pennies. Or sell a kidney. Whatever works.
Now, go grab another coffee. You’ve got eight months to decide.
