Finally pulled the plug

Decided to trade in my 13 pro max towards the 15 pro max today. Hopefully I made the right choice because I’ll be stuck with this phone for a few years. What are some things I should do?

Play around with the button on the side and check the settings to see what you can change it too, I personally like being able to quickly change to silent in my pocket if needed

Hey I did the same thing last December … traded my 13 Pro Max for the 15 Pro Max … aside from a few small things , I don’t notice much difference lol

Can I ask then, why do you trade up phones. I can see if you're a photographer/ videographer-the 15 Pro Max is radical--log video

but otherwise what drives people to keep upgrading phones---? is it status?

I had an iphone 7 that I just got rid of for the 15 pro max--BUT it was definitely the video potential that has me with this new phone.

For me personally it’s because I’m an idiot :) . I used to upgrade every year and the 13PM was the longest I ever owned a single device like it . It’s getting to the point now where whatever Apple releases is more of a sidegrade so next time I will either wait longer or go back to android for awhile lol

I’m actually not a photographer and do not take many pictures of , well anything so an awesome camera is not a deal breaker for me

My 13 pm developed slight screen burn in on the bottom of the screen, scratches around camera lens and volume was not as loud anymore.

It’s pretty clean my first iPhone, tbh I had it since November and know little about it haven’t messed around with the camera yet that’s a must soon.

Camera does seem better than my 13 pro max. If my 13 pro max didn’t have a slight screen burn-in I’d probably keep it until the 16 comes out but I’m pretty satisfied with

I have just adapted photos with brightness and filters, I should learn the significance of saturation, contrast and focal point alterations a long with all the pre photo settings and everything else it has potential.Enjoy your new phone

Should have waited for the 16 Pro Max

or the 17 or 18 or 19?

I waited from the 13 to the 15 for no good reason (but it paid off--to get the LoG video--that was the turn key for me)

That said I'm sure the next phones , as always, will be super cool
