    iPhone 11 Pro Max 11pro max replacement …?

    Update!: I’m planning to go with a 14 plus. It’s $330 vs $230 for straight replacement of my 11pro max (on back market.com). While it’s out of my initial budget it works out to like $10 more/mo and gets me 3 years more on release date (2019 vs 2022) plus 2gb more memory, and double the space...

    iPhone 15 Pro Help me decide: 15 Pro or Pro Max?

    I am currently on the OG X and have decided this is the year to upgrade to a Pro or a Pro Max. I've decided I don't want the vanilla 15, mostly because of the camera. Since the X only came in a 6.1-ish size, I'm wondering if my 60 year old eyes would benefit from the extra screen space. But I am...
