Pro Max looks good enough for me to upgrade from my iphone 11. Where is the Buy Now button?

I would say its worth the switch from iPhone 11 or earlier. Pre-orders start this Friday and they will ship next week I believe.

I will be getting the 15 pro assuming there is a decent trade-in offer for my 12 pro

AT&T will probably offer up to $1,000 to trade in my 12 pro towards 15pro max so it makes sense to upgrade.

This color lineup is the worst Apple has ever had. The washed out pastel colors never should have made it past the intern's desk. I don't think I've had a black/dark grey phone in close to 20 years. Where is the Project (RED) color?

Maybe so, but 99% will just cover it up in a case anyway

Yea, I think I will do the same. Only up to $250 exchange value for the 12 -- that sucks. Won't draw me in.

A ton of cases are clear, like the ones I have used when my phone color isn't ugly AF. Even if you stick it in an opaque case, you still have the pastel BS showing in the rear camera notch.

All they needed was this version of yellow:

I got my 11 because I had to. I am bought in on a pro model at this point. USB-C sealed it.

Do they normally ship so soon after the pre-order function becomes available? I always thought there was about a month lag.

My 10 Xs crapped out about two weeks ago. The screen went completely out. I've been using a refurbished (renewed) iPhone 12 from Amazon (90-day return policy) and will consider the new 15 Pro (not sure if I want the big Max). I obviously am not a believer in buying a new phone every year.

I would like a better camera, a larger display as my eyes aren't what they used to be, and longer battery life.

It’s funny and I really see it now, my wife basically made me convert to Apple last year being a long time Android user before like since the beginning and all these “new” features have been on android for years lol. The watch this year really is a wash I’ll keep my OG ultra for another year, phone camera looks to be the best upgrade so I’ll be getting the pro max 15. I won’t lie being an Apple user is kinda boring, but at the end of the day probably should put the phone down more anyway

I grew up a PC builder and scoffed at the lockdown Apple does.

At this point I love the Apple ecosystem in seamlessness. An iPhone with an Apple Watch and AirTags are awesome. I can’t jump to a mac yet.

Initial orders yes, then they fall behind. You order early this Friday you'll get your phone next Friday.

That's me to a T.

I won't be upgrading as I have a 13 pro and it's still great.

My only need now is an iPhone that doesn't get so damn hot and darkens the screen so often.

Damn, I had in my head that the iphone 15 had "phone to phone" charging. As in, you could take an iphone 15 with 85% battery and use it as a battery bank for another iphone 15 with 12% battery.

Android users have had this for a while but I'm wondering if anyone really uses that? Most of us just carry chargers or battery banks for this purpose.
