I went from the 12 pro max to the 15 pro max and I love it, it’s speaker is loud, good quality, dynamic island is great, I listen to music a lot and drive a lot using my gps so I love the island and what it does. Battery lasts like 30 hours while using it pretty frequently, screen is beautiful, mine hasn’t gotten hot. I’d say if you’re waiting 3 years between phones, that is about the sweet spot, my 12 pro was great but I couldn’t hear much out of it, speakers were super quiet, battery started to drain quickly, still a great phone though.

[@dadwalker]

I have the 12 pro max too; and I think I’m gonna keep it for another year. (Very reluctantly!) My speakers are fine, and my battery health is at something like 84%? Though I can afford it; I just baaaarely can’t justify it despite the USB C since my current phone is doing great. Definitely looking forward to the 16 pro max!

[@NOLATechy]

The main issue I see with the Action Button is the lack of multi-purpose use without having to go into settings to change it each time. For example, on the Pixel phones, single clicking the power button will lock/unlock the phone, double-clicking the same power button will launch the camera, clicking and holding the power button will either bring up the power settings or launch the Google Assistant, and clicking the power button five times will start Emergency SOS, notify your loved ones of your location and call 911 for you. The Action Button should be able to have similar multi-purpose functionality like this.

[@davidk1717]

But you can create a multipurpose shortcut for it. This shortcut can execute different actions depending on your current focus mode, current location and so on. I think I even saw a shortcut already that recognizes double clicking. Of course it would be nice if you Apple would provide this out of the box but the shortcuts offer a lot of possibilities.

I totally agree with the concept that it's all down to personal preference these days. I have been out of the Apple ecosystem for 6 or so years now, sticking to mostly cheaper phones, but the 15 pro ticks just the right boxes for me personally to invest in an iPhone again. There is no way I can justify spending 1-2k a year on a phone, but I can justify a single purchase based on it being supported until 2030.
