iPhone 15 to enter mass production in August, expect Apple to increase prices on Pro Max model - Lemmy.world

Anyone here considering getting the iPhone 15 pro max later this year? Is the potential price increase making you reconsider?
The phone is just physically too large, so probably not.
I’ve never found a reason to buy a phone that large. I’m probably going to get the 15 Pro though since I need an upgrade.
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.
I might have considered upgrading my 13 mini if an equivalent new model comes out. I want a smaller pocketable size, whether that’s a mini or a clamshell foldable

I decided to get the 14 Pro Max after years of using a regular sized phone. The last time I used a phone this big was the 7 plus. I gotta say I like the big size!

I probably won’t be upgrading any time soon though. Not until there’s a feature or upgrade that makes it really worth it.

I’m considering moving from the Pixel 6 back to an iPhone if USB-C is real. The last iPhone I had was the 5S and it was wonderful. I hated the design change and have been looking to go back since they squared off the sides again.
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?
Yeah, I agree they totally last longer, but I just like new tech and get excited about new releases. The excellent condition used phones have been used as upgrades for my parents or sold on swappa.
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 personally just think the pro max line is too big. I’ll be sticking to the pro for now
Yeah I have because I got an iPhone XS Max, need an upgrade — but that price increase sucks…
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.
Like clockwork I buy every year irrespective of the price 😋
I am. I really wish the nicer camera came in the smaller phone, but I’m a sucker for a good camera.
