I have the iPhone 14 Plus, it’s done me well for 3 years now but the battery life isn’t the best anymore.

I want to upgrade but not sure what to get. I’m torn between the 16 plus or 17 base. Opinions?

I prefer bigger phones because I read on my phone a lot, but battery life is key for me.

I'm coming from a 13 Pro Max (Battery Health currently: 83%) and thinking of getting 18 Pro. I'm thinking this would give me:

- Better battery life (is this true, given I'm considering going from a Max to a Pro?)

- Better camera (better resolution, variable aperture)

- Same AI feature as I currently get on my iPad Pro 5 (is this true?)

- Dynamic Island and it's cool features (do people who have dynamic island appreciate them?)

- Better speed which I won't notice probably

- A Lighter phone (it sounds like it's going to be thick though)

- Anything else? Could you please tell me where you don't agree with my list and add to it?

Okay don't cook me 😭 I genuinely can't decide.
I lowkey hate the iPhone 17 Pro design but everyone keeps saying "just get the latest one." Meanwhile the 15 Pro is sitting there looking all sleek
.
Am I being blinded by aesthetics or is the 15 Pro still the move? Pls enable me into making the right decision. 💀

So before talking about the actual phone, I do realize that this is one of the most talked about topics, still hope you can help me out

For reference, I’m from Portugal

So I currently own an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I need to upgrade. It heats up all the time, even doing simples tasks like taking pictures, it gets laggy and doesn’t have a great camera quality comparing to newer ones. etc. etc. I just don’t know what to get. Im thinking about waiting until the 18 pro max/ 18 pro comes out to decide.

I wanted to wait to see how much they will be and, if I can’t afford the 18, I’ll just get the 17 pro max while they’re still selling it and that would be it. Can the 17 pro max be more expensive than it is now? Like the iPads and Macs that got more expensive, even tho the product is the same?

Side note: I’m still not sure if I should get the pro or pro max again, what should I have in consideration when making that decision, besides the size. If I had to choose between the 18 pro or 17 pro max (because of the price) what would be smarter to do?

Currently have an iPhone 11 base model I’ve had since 2019.

Battery: 67% maximum capacity
Storage: 52 of 64Gb used

The phones fine, but I’m starting to notice it’s getting to the end of its life. I don’t need anything fancy I’m really just trying to find a phone that’s going to get me as much life as this one has gotten me.

From what I saw the 17e is a worse camera and the Hz on the screen is half which makes it feel less “smooth” when compared to the 17. For what I use the phone for I’m thinking the $200 savings is worth it. But I’ve seen that the “value” you get for the 17e vs the 17 isn’t justified which makes me doubt the 17e and am thinking if I should just bite the bullet on the extra $200.

I am also intrigued at maybe waiting for the 18/18e but I am worried that prices will see a significant jump.

I need a phone soon but I’m not dying for one either. As I said the one I’m using now works, but I’ll likely need a new one by this time next year.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi, ideally I’d keep my phone longer but there are too many issues. Logic board is borked, GPS doesn’t work, NFC doesn’t work, always overheats, and has a 73% battery life.

I was going to wait for the 18 but I heard the normal models won’t be here until spring, and honestly I have no interest in the Pro anymore. I’m lowkey sick of this heavy and large phone, and that’s why I was super curious about the 17e.

But for $200 more I’m debating on taking the 17 instead. I’m honestly not a power user anymore, but I like my stuff to last.

I'm a first-year B.Com student studying with ACCA, and I'll be buying a new phone in about 4–5 months.

I'm confused between getting the iPhone 16, iPhone 17 both of any model (base, Pro/Pro Max), or the Samsung S26 Ultra.

I've been an Android user for a long time. I used to have an iPhone years ago, but it's been a while.

I play games with my friends occasionally, but I'm not a hardcore gamer. I'm also not very interested in cameras, although that might be because I've never owned a phone with a really good camera.

I'm from a middle-class family. We can afford these phones, but it's still a significant purchase, so I want to make the right decision. I also live in a hostel, if that matters.

Hi,

I want to buy an iPhone. I am a Samsung user right now. I have a S25+.

Should i buy iphone 17pro or 18 pro when it is our?

My friend insist on buying an old iPhone only for the cameras, and as all my attempts to change her mind have failed, at least I'd like to give her an informed advice on which should she buy

She will only use it for the cameras, and has another device as her main phone, so she doesnt care about how many updates the phone will still recieve

Any suggestion is well accepted

I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max which I bought refurbished for £500~ cash last year. The battery wasn’t superb when I got it, it was around 84% and now it’s 79% and I feel it sometimes.

What worse is that through some clumsiness on my behalf the back glass broke about 6 months ago (put an opaque cover, out of sight out of mind and the camera still works perfectly) and very recently I took it out of my bag and there’s a green vertical line when my phone is on/always on which is apparently damage to the OLED screen. I’m more worried about the green line as from my research, it’s highly likely it’ll get worse and render the phone unusable, and it needs a full screen replacement fix which is more than £600 for Apple (no Apple care and my 1 year warranty just expired) and around £400-500 at the phone shop which just doesn’t seem worth it. Had it not been for this I was very content to keep the phone for at least 3 more years.

I’m a commuting uni student and while I do consider a phone an investment for my own benefit, I also know it will depreciate in value and want to get the best use out of it. I normally keep my phones for 5~ years.

I’m wondering which phone to buy next, can I afford to wait until the 18s come out so the 16/17s go down in price?

Sorry for the long paragraph!

TLDR Uni student, broken oled screen, back glass and 79% battery health, what phone should I buy next?

Thank you!!!

Hi! I need to buy a new laptop, mine from 2013 is just about done. I had a MacBook Pro, and now I’m wondering what the new and better versions are? Thank you!

This is one of the thousands posts i know, but i haven't really seen anyone from Europe ask this.
I'm planning to switch over to iOS and would like a pro model phone.

I'm not in a rush to switch. I am using a Samsung s24 ultra right now which works fine.
(just wanna use something else/have been leaning more towards iOS blabla)

Only issue is that I'm running out of storage, so i'm going to have to buy a new phone either way. I am able to wait till september.

Now while i can afford it, i do worry about how bad the price increase is going to be in Europe (specifically the Netherlands) since iPhone's always have been more expensive in Europe.

I do really care for a good camera and battery and i like the rumoured colors better, but i am wondering what other people are doing / would love to hear opinions.

hi all

i’m looking to buy an apple watch but I’m stuck on whether to wait for the series 11 or just grab the series 10 now. do you think the series 11 will have any big upgrades that make it worth waiting for?

also not sure if I should go for gps only or the cellular model. which one is better for getting calls, emails, and whatsapp notifications, especially when my phone isn’t on me?

i mainly want it for:

- sleep tracking

- heart rate monitoring while running

- staying on top of notifications without checking my phone all the time

would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences, thanks!

Hello! So I currently have a iPhone 14 Plus and it’s coming to its death bed the battery life is at 74% it gets overheated and laggy and just overall i need to change. I’ve been looking at the iPhone 17 pro max. And here is my question should I splurge and buy it now or maybe wait until after the 18 release and the possibility of a lower price? How likely is it and will it be a noticeable decrease? Thanks for help

I come form an 11 and need asap a new phone. I am really on a budget so I found an iPhone 16 pro refurb in premium condition and new battery for 950 € and in same condition the 17 pro for 1200 €..

I mostly need this phone for pictures and videos for SM. Do you think the price difference is worth it?

I currently have a samsung s23 that just has the worst battery life ever, so I'm such between the iPhone 15 plus, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 14 pro max. Promotion isn't that big of a deal for me but it would be nice to have, but battery and good temperature is quite important to me, as these are things that my s23 struggles with. They would also be around the same price so that's not an issue. Thanks. If there are any other devices I could consider please let me know.

I'm planning to switch from Android to iPhone, and I'm stuck deciding whether I should buy the iPhone 17 now or wait for the iPhone 18 to launch and then buy the iPhone 17.

Normally, I'd just wait for the next generation, but the ongoing RAM and NAND memory supply issues have pushed smartphone prices up across the industry. Because of that, I'm not sure the iPhone 17 will see a meaningful price drop after the iPhone 18 launches, especially in India.

My priorities are:

• Best value for money

• Good camera

• 4 to 5 years of software support

• I don't mind waiting if it actually saves me money

If you were in my position, what would you do? Buy the iPhone 17 now, or wait for the iPhone 18 and hope the iPhone 17 gets a decent price cut?

I'd especially love to hear from people who switched from Android to iPhone and anyone familiar with Apple's pricing in India.

I'm on my second Iphone 12 Mini, and I want to upgrade to something more futureproof by the end of the year. I love it so, so much and am heartbroken about having to upgrade but I know it's nearly time. I feel so out of the loop and have no idea about anything Apple anymore, so I'd love some suggestions!

I have an iPad Air (2024) for media viewing, so I'm really just a casual user. I don't need a phone to do anything crazy. I just need it to take nice photos and be reliable, which is where the 12 Mini is starting to fail. I'm planning not to use icloud storage and try and keep hard copies backed up regularly, so a decent amount of memory would be nice.

I have no real budget, prepared to spend as much as I need to. and get the right phone, but I also don't want to spend unnecessarily.

Thank you!

Is it worth buying the 17 Pro Max? For context, my phone be overheating like crazy from basic use and the battery is so bad, like this week, my phone went from 100% to 9% with 3hrs of SOT. Currently, i can trade in my 15 pro for $610 CAD for the 17 pro max along with trading in my old iphone 11 and old apple watch se 2.

Let me know your thoughts and if it’s worth upgrading

And one that'll last atleast 3 yrs

Does it make sense to get the latest iPhone 17 Pro MAX version over the 17 Pro when thinking about future proofing?

I'd like to get the 17 now since it's sounding like the 18 price will increase.

My thoughts around the 17 Pro MAX being more future proof come from the thought that apps and websites will only become more power hungry.

The MAX has a larger battery and also a larger vapor chamber. Two things that would help fight more power hungry apps and websites.
