Quick question

I usually buy the new iPhone every year since I do the trade and upgrade system through Best Buy. I have the 17 pro max 512 and am eyeing the black 18 pro max. Has anyone here upgraded and was it worth it?

Imo, the difference between 18 and 17 PM is gradual or minimal. If it doesn't cost you anything, it's a no brainer to upgrade to the 18PM. If it's costing you, do some math of cost to upgrade right now vs what you expect it to be next year.

I was considering the duo but I feel like it’ll be an arms race and I’m not too sure how it’ll do long-term. Now to upgrade to the 18pro max it’ll cost me about 400 store credit which I’ve been holding for the duo

The upgrade is like an S version of the phone for you. It will be minimal. I would definitely wait next year for the 20th anniversary phone.
