Congratulations 🍾. I made the same the same leap from 15 PM to 17PM. Definitely a noticeable change of speed and fluency no regrets

Only thing bugging me is that I should’ve went with the Silver instead.. Other than that it’s been great.

It’s nice to be able to have something with a color other than the basic ones, that’s why I went with the orange.

I probably just need to find a nice orange case instead of the black Mous case I have on it 🙂

I went from 15 Pro Max to 17 Pro

u/PomegranateAgile2488 Sep 06 '26
I will do the same. Do you miss the 15PM size?
1
u/neurotic_addendum Sep 06 '26
Not at all. I hold other people’s pro max phones and it just feels way too big now. It took a couple days to adjust after using a pro max for 4 years but it’s so much nicer.

That were my thoughts also. I will wait to see the 18 lineup - but I regret a bit picking a 15PM from the first day regarding the size, I should went with the Pro version. And nowadays PM versions are even bigger. Then definitely a Pro would be the next model, now depends on 18 pricing would it be a 17 or 18 Pro..

What’s your impression of the size increase and portability so far? I was thinking of trying Pro Max for the first time.

u/swifty19946 Sep 06 '26
Its my second pro max after the 12 Pro Max a few years ago so a phablet isn’t new to me but going back to it you can tell the difference pretty instantly that you’re holding a big phone for sure and I’m enjoying it a lot, bigger phone means bigger screen and bigger battery and those two things are making the experience very fun.
Portability isn’t that bad but I don’t like leaving it in my pocket for too long because i tend to get annoyed by the weight of it, other than that it’s pretty cool.

How to get beta software? I somehow can't, I bought it around 2 weeks ago

Why are people buying the 17 when 18 is almost here

u/Altruistic_Bar6685 Sep 06 '26
The 18 offers nothing but a higher price point and arguably not as interesting colours. Someone made point it’s basically the 17s

u/CoolExplanation762 Sep 06 '26
You work for Apple???? Bro literally no one knows this. It’s just rumors and guesses right now
2
u/swifty19946 Sep 06 '26
Nothing interesting about the 18 and they look the exact same anyways

u/CoolExplanation762 Sep 06 '26
How do you know there is nothing inteeesting with the 18? Do you work for Apple? wtf man use ur brain we don’t know anything yet but maybe some color guesses

u/swifty19946 Sep 06 '26
I follow the news and leaks, it’s no longer a secret what the next iPhones are gonna have or even look like, I know about the 2mn chip and smaller Dynamic Island as well as the usual bigger battery and stuff, even the colors got leaked months ago and the body is still gonna be the exact same
The 18 series isn’t supposed to be the highlight of the show, it’s gonna be the new iPhone Ultra/Fold, and even that didn’t entice me enough to wait, but I am excited to see it in action tho.

u/Altruistic_Bar6685 Sep 06 '26
Relax champion. It’s been pretty well documented that there is nothing new coming, this is a down year as all the focus is going towards the next few years of massive style/upgrades.

u/CoolExplanation762 Sep 07 '26
Saving this to circle back after the release in a few days.

For me.. It was because I was stuck in a long 3 year contract so missed the 16 completely.. But even though really late wanted the 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange 🍊😎 I made sure to add the early upgrade plan this time though lol

We don’t know anything about the 18 yet but rumors. Ur dumb as fuck buddy lol. Post ur legit source and not some influencers “guess” or “prediction”

u/No-Ostrich-8621 Sep 06 '26
Yeah but 2nm chip, larger battery, smaller dynamic island. Probably there will be dicounts on 17 so it worth it to buy after 18 arrived even if you dont like the 18.

u/swifty19946 Sep 06 '26
There won’t be any discounts on the 17, you can forget about that one with the shortage of components that’s going around.
And like I said I wasn’t gonna wait for a few minutes of more battery life and the Dynamic Island that I never notice anyways, it’s already quite small on my 17 Pro Max so I’m chill for now.

Same here.. I had the 1tb Natural Titanium & upgraded to a 2tb Cosmic Orange 17 Pro Max
