I think if you’re coming from XS or X then yes the upgrade is worth. Get the pro models if you want a big upgrade

[@fabianl7443]

I think it's still a downgrade since iphone Xs is the last one with 3d touch. And iPhone Xs gets most of the AI features from iOS 16, so it's still top of the line.

If there is nothing wrong with your phone, there is no reason to upgrade.

I’m doing exactly that, I’m on the X and just ordered 14 pro max I want the best I can get and keep it as long as I can, last year I was really debating on the 13 pro but mow I’m glad I waited, I feel that the jump will be huge for me, especially with the cameras

[@Brazen415]

I have had my XS Max since launch and I’m upgrading. Nothing “wrong” with my phone but I need more storage and I want that bump in battery life with the 14 Pro Max (keep in mind I the XS Max was my first iPhone and it had the best battery I ever had). I probably won’t upgrade from the 14 Pro Max until the iPhone 20.

I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max space gray 256gb and I’m satisfied. It does what I need, the battery healths at 87% and lasts a full day of moderate use. Camera is great to me. Screen size is more than enough and the big notch doesn’t bother me. No scratches on the screen or housing. It’s good enough, so I’m not upgrading until it gives me a reason to.

Will be going from my XS Max to the 14 Pro Max. Feels like it's going to be a massive upgrade. What I guess I'd love the most is the battery life followed by the newer design, the display, the cameras and of course the MagSafe. I saw a different video where they said the iPhone 14 Pro Max charges faster than previous models with 27W.

How was the upgrade? I have a xs max thats clicking around like crazy. Really cant decide between 12, 13, 14 pro max. 14 is pricey but seems nice

I've been using XS since its release and I'm loving it, I just upgraded to 14 pro. the battery health of my XS has fallen to 78% over the past 4 years, so I though it is time to jump to a newer tech. but my XS did not disappoint at all during the time of its duty.

[@hitesh8782]

likewise

[@GibsonSwag]

My XS Max is at 78% its been good other than battery life its not very good (5 hours at most of light use as of right now) i have to plug it in a couple times to make sure i have enough which is pretty inconvenient so ill probably get a 13 or newer

[@SamZ]

My XS Max is around 89% battery health and I still love it. Honestly not sure I would benefit much from an upgrade but the new cameras and chip are tempting.

[@GibsonSwag]

@@SamZ nice yeah if the battery and performance arent an issue for you its probably not worth the upgrade but i feel that its not worth replacing the battery now that its 4 years old (for me) might as well upgrade anyways since that saves me money in the long run

I switched to an xs max from the old se and it was a huge and very nice difference and I kept it for a few years but now have a 13 and I love it it’s perfect

[@beefbmx]

I like how you understand a lot of people upgrading don’t have the 13 and how so much has changed since the older models. I have an XS Max and I’m finally deciding to upgrade. Was waiting on them to really change that notch and the other upgrades make it so worth it

[@breadone_]

fr its so annoying when youtubers just say its not worth upgrading when theyre coming from 13 pro maxes...

[@GibsonSwag]

I also have a XS Max its fine and I wouldnt be upgrading if it werent for the poor battery life (only 4 hours of LIGHT use on one charge at most) Its a waste of money to upgrade the battery since an upgrade is due anyways

I upgraded from the iPhone SE (2020) to the iPhone 14 Pro and I gotta say it was definitely worth it! I love the OLED and 120 Hz screen. The screen just looks so beautiful especially in dark mode, and the animation is so smooth. Also, Face ID is so much more convenient to use than Touch ID. I was also not a fan of the original notch design and the new dynamic island looks so much more cleaner. Lastly the battery life is just freaking awesome. If you have the iPhone SE model or iPhone 8 and before, I would definitely go for the upgrade!

I’ve just upgraded from a 12 Pro Max to a 14 Pro Max and it’s honestly been one of the most underwhelming phone upgrades. This isnt to say the 14 Pro Max is a bad phone - it’s that phones in the past few years have got to a point where they’re all amazing and no u[grades will really change your life now. It’s nicer to have a slightly better camera etc, but the cameras on the 12 Pro Max for example, were amazing anyway. If you have a spare £1000 then yeah, do it. But like most people, if you don’t have that spare money then don’t do it. Save your upgrade and put your heating on.

[@BlahoogaDMD]

The way I think of it and my needs in terms of if I should upgrade to an iPhone 14: If you have an iPhone 13 or 13 pro, not really necessary to upgrade 12 or 12 pro, it’s a little more viable to think about an upgrade 11 or 11 pro, I wouldn’t mind hanging back just one more year, but the differences here begin to become substantial From XS or earlier: should definitely upgrade at that point But for me, I still have my iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB with 99% battery capacity left and I don’t want to upgrade this year Again it heavily depends on how you use an iPhone. If you simply just want smooth texting, emailing, web browsing, and calling, even the iPhone 8 being the oldest remaining supported iOS device as of iOS 16, you will have no hiccups. It’s just a matter of longevity at that point

Don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve got an iPhone 11 and even though I use the cameras frequently and I appreciate the 120Hz refresh rate, it’s still hard for me to justify spending over $1200CAD for a new phone, assuming I sell mine for about $500CAD.

And I am not a fan of the design in comparison to the more square design. Usually I would keep my phone, but my hands are burning up from the extreme heat (as I’m typing right now especially, I’m holding my phone uncomfortably to avoid burning) and, without use, my phone is dead after work.

I spent $1500 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max this last March, so I'm not upgrading anytime soon; perhaps in a few years I'll consider it, maybe when the iPhone 16 comes along. I also have the Sierra Blue color, and the lack of any blue color option for the 14 Pro (Max) is disappointing to say the least. If Apple releases a blue color later on (in a similar vein to the later release of the iPhone 13 series in Alpine Green), that would be interesting. As long as Apple does not offer the 14 Pro (Max) in any shade of blue, I would expect that the resale value of a 13PM in Sierra Blue would be more than the 13PM in other colors.

I have an XR which i got 2- 3 years ago, it still works great but after seeing my friend's 14 pro i decided to upgrade, it felt so much better in the 120hz display and the camera features, the new dynamic island, and alot more. im waiting for my local store to get them

[@thealphauser13]

I'm thinking between grabbing a used 11 Pro or a 12. I like the 12 for a fact that it can do Face ID with mask. But I like the 11 Pro since it is smaller, and has another camera module. Be it as decent and also as fast as 12, and the battery is still competitive. Edit: I am still using 6s, so even an upgrade to Xs is a big leap.

[@ulac010]

i think 12 will will be better for a long term use because of th 5g compatibility.

[@Wopder13]

i went from a 5s to a 13 pro… maaan feels like time traveled lol

[@rivermathis2697]

I just recently upgraded to the 14 from the 11 honestly I’m happy with my upgrade for plenty reasons

[@MikeCheck11]

Personally, coming from an iPhone 12 Pro, I think that the battery upgrade is worth it. I’ll be getting the iPhone 14 Pro Max which should be an extreme upgrade for me in that department. Also, does anyone have any tips on preserving the life of your battery? Mine is already at 85%…

[@ResplendentRaider]

Gotdamn already?! I’m upgrading from the XS Max to the 14 pro max and my XS Max still has 86% battery life.

[@samiosmith]

pretty sure the health indicator is nonsense but basic tips which have helped me in the past with previous phones, gadgets etc is keeping the battery away from extreme temps.. especially getting too hot. heat f*ks batteries! frequent but often charging.. keeping it within 20-80% range when/where possible. I don't keep it plugged in overnight (jury is still out on that one) but my 11promax battery is still really capable 3 years later (97% if you buy into apple's battery fudge indicator) and ultimately.... charge cycles! mmfraid there's nothing you can do to avoid that one, the more cycles you go through, the more it wears, the less it's able to hold it together. come to think of it, it's a little like old age.. inevitable! so in the end.. who cares?! grow old gracefully and use/enjoy that damn phone you worked hard for or don't.. who cares.. live and let live!

[@coverblader2108]

I currently have the iPhone 11 base model I plan to upgrade to the 14 promax 1 TB deep purple part of the reason being 1/3 of my screen on the 11 completely stopped working but obviously the camera bonus the new screen the new battery it’s gonna be worth the upgrade from the 11

[@ellierahamim8240]

I have iPhone X, so I will definitely going to buy the iPhone 14 pro max. The reasons: 1. pro motion 2. dynamic island 3. always on display 4. bigger screen 5. improvement in the battery life. 6. better perfomace 7. New camera and improvement of the camera over the years since iPhone x 8. the iPhone 14 pro max is the only chamge with the notch.... ( even if the iPhone 13 has a smaller notch) 9. my iPhone X has begun to make me problems. 10. is it a perfect time to upgrade! iPhone 14 pro max is like the iPhone of my dreams!!!

[@salehmuhammad01]

14 pro also has the island. I’ve found the pro max size to be difficult to use

Glad I’ve kept x for this long which is not bad at anything I’d need in the foreseeable future. Thinking of finally graduating to 14 pro. Missing a lot on better hdr & ultrawide. 3D touch is still👑 though.

[@itisjustLucas]

I have a 11 Pro and I’m finding it really hard to justify the upgrade… my main issue is that my battery is down to 83% so I might just replace that….

[@ResplendentRaider]

Yup a easy 30-40 bucks and you’re set.

[@abcd-hw8io]

11 pro is a nice size, nice rounded edge that is comfortable to hold. I have the 11 pro and the 13 mini and the 11 pro is much nicer to hold despite bigger size.

[@ResplendentRaider]

@@abcd-hw8io Even though I’m upgrading from the XS Max, I will admit it’s comfortable to hold despite its size. I held the 12 or 13 pro cant remember, but it wasn’t comfortable to hold. Hope a case will help mitigate that🤞🏾

@@ResplendentRaider I probably have to look for a rounded edge case in order to hold it comfortably.

[@JE-ji3cw]

One of the things I like most about my iPhone X (besides 3D Touch) is the size and weight. While I’d love to upgrade, the larger phones just don’t feel comfortable in my hand and I don’t want to go as small as the minis. I wish Apple would make a phone that size again.

[@bourbon.36]

The regular Pro should be the perfect size for you then.

[@Altixis]

Yeah I really enjoy my 14 pro but I do wish they still had the 5.8" option

[@kasziel]

Because of the design change, the different in size between the iPhone X and the iPhone 14 pro is minimal, we re talking millimetres, 0,6 mm wider and 3,9 taller. It's such a minimal difference that its not that noticeable.

[@Noahl_Yt]

Upgrading is a fantastic idea! I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB and I’ve been using it for 10 hours straight, and it’s currently at 48%. It has been quite amazing so far

[@notneo7898]

The 11 pro max was a perfect phone and now is still a very solid pick. Especially if you like the rounded sides.

[@MV-eh3xf]

I upgraded to the standard IPhone 14 coming from the X and honestly I’m hugely satisfied all around….the only reason I didn’t get the pro was because the place I went to was sold out…but I look at it coming from the X I got the ‘13pro’ for the standard model price with extra features plus bigger screen better display the works lol I can’t complain…love the video very informative

Did you already use 14 and 14 pro for a year??

[@duanestern3913]

Upgraded from the iPhone 11 64g to the iPhone 14 pro 256g. The video quality the and the photo quality are absolutely amazing on the 14 pro. We used to take nice photos of our granddaughter with the 11. Now we take stunning almost professional photos of her. In fact I learn something new everyday on how fantastic the iPhone 14 pro is.

[@italia8647]

I also have an iPhone 11 and wasn’t sure it was worth the upgrade to a 14. I’ll definitely look into it now though.

[@97nelsn]

I have an 11 Pro Max and I have been looking for a video comparing my current phone to the new iPhone 14 Pro Max and I think I finally found it with this one. I need to see one in person but I’m leaning towards it, mainly b/c it would be nice to have more storage.

I got a 12 with 256gb storage and 91% battery health. esim is not supported by the operators in my country at this time, it may happen within a year though.

[@matthewbrown4413]

Had the 13 mini but went back to the 11 pro for a better battery and must say I’m truly satisfied. Unless a major upgrade occurs next year I’ll hold on to my 11 pro as long as I can with the 13 mini as a back up💪🏾

[@NeverSettleForMediocrity]

it's Iphone, the only major upgrade is the price

[@tipoomaster]

On an XS Max. Battery is down to 80% which is where it starts feeling janky beyond what the number says, I'd get it replaced but FaceID also broke a while ago so I'll just upgrade, but I want to hold out till next year and get USB C and pray that it won't still use USB 2.0 signaling speeds...

What do you think about it?

[@IvanFyodorovichKaramazov]

If you want a 1k dollar hole in your pocket, sure. Otherwise I’d suggest to wait another year for the 15 when apple HAS to drop the lightning connector for usb C. 12 pro is amazing already. I doubt you’ll get much value from 14. But that’s just me. You do you.

I'm holding off for the 15 Pro, my non Pro 11 will service me for another year. The battery life is still good for my normal daily use even with 79% health, but if I'm using it allot, taking lots of photos like on a holiday or road trip then it suffers and needs a boost during the day. I just can't justify the 14 Pro at this point when we are expecting USB-C in 12 months on the 15!

Thinking about going from my XS Max to either the 13 Pro or 14 Pro Max. I'm hesitating because, I'm not crazy about the colors offered for the 14 lol! I like the green that comes in the 13 series... If Apple would make the camera flush with the phone, I'd upgrade in a heartbeat! I hate the look of the camera bump, but wishful thinking I suppose since "thin" is what's in.

In fact, if waiting for 15 is not an issue, i would recommend to do it, it will probably have USB-C charging connector instead of Lightning. But if battery is a blocking issue, 13/13 Pro should be a good call

[@Justyburger]

My Wife, amazingly, went from the 4S to the 12 Mini. That 4S just kept going and going. I held off, then moved from an Android phone to a 13 Mini in Product Red. I've been so impressed by my 13 Mini, that I probably will not change it for many more years. If I smashed it tomorrow, I would simply buy another 13 Mini. It's such a great compact size with all the power of a larger phone. The battery has also been fine. If the 14 had been a significant change, such as no camera bump, slightly thicker with a bigger battery, I would upgrade to the 14. With such minimal changes, I have no real incentive to upgrade. Also, I personally think the 13 Product Red is the best color of all. My second choice is the classic White/Silver. I'm not a fan of the deep purple. I also never liked the 13 green that came out. Gold is very nice. Sierra Blue is ok, but in the Pro range, it has to be White. In the Mini range, definitely the Red.
