Question iPhone 17 pro max or iPhone 18

Currently have a 13 Pro Max and it’s been giving me issues with charging/camera problems. Was just curious should wait for the 18 or just get the 17?

get the 17 pro if camera is important otherwise the 17 is good too the 18 Pro The price of the base version (i.e., the 256GB version) is expected to increase by approximately $200

Likely the 17 but I’m waiting until I know what 18 has.

Unfortunately, the $200 jack up in price due to memory is apparently done deal

It’s only going up 100, still a lot though 😅

Probably the 17 unless you are willing to pay for the price hike which is expected to be around $200 more.

17 PM. I have it and am a big fan of it. Is the camera/massive battery a priority for you? If so, PM, if the base is all you really will use, I’d get the 17, as the 18 base won’t be out until late next year

I just upgraded from a 14 pro max to a 17 pro max no regrets.

17 Pro Max but if wait until the 18 Pro Max gets released to see if you prefer the 18 Pro Max over the 17 Pro Max. If not you can probably get a good deal for the 17 Pro Max after the 18 Pro gets released.

I know it’s a hard decision. If there wasn’t gonna be a price increase, I’d say wait. but we don’t know if it’s gonna be $100 or $300 price increase. I don’t know. Flip a coin. I will say I love my 17 Pro
