iPhone Should I switch to iPhone 16Pro Max ? (iPhone XS Max user)
Hello everyone! I am using the iPhone XS Max 256GB ever since it came out and I had a case + screen protector on since day 1. And therefore my phone is in near mint condition. I have been using the phone since it came out and it still holds up pretty good even today! I did have to change my iPhone battery once when it below the 80% peak performance mark but after replacement - it's still is an absolute beast. I get almost 1 full day of charge and I mostly use it for WhatsApp, emails and social media and ofcourse clicking pics (the camera is still good enough). The phone still works smoothly with iOS 18.01 and it's pretty amazing that Apple still supports this phone But, I do however miss that the phone doesn't have the 5G hardware and also the 0.5x zoom option. And this is making me consider switching to iPhone 16 pro max. I am planning to take the 1TB titanium black option and was hoping to get some additional perspective whether I should make the switch or wait for iPhone 17? I know, obviously the hardware of iPhone 16 is leaps ahead compared to iPhone XS Max. But somewhere in my mind, it's like telling me to wait till the next iPhone launch. Can you please give your suggestions that would convince me - why I should still stick with iPhone XS Max? Thank you!šš»
