The iPhone 15 Pro Max is almost identical to the iPhone 16 Pro Max but costs 250 dollars less, I think it’s the right buy
When a new iPhone model hits the market, a question arises: Is it better to buy the new model or opt for the previous model now that its price has dropped? Answering this question is not easy, because depending on the model and the money saved, the answer may change. And this is the case with this iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max have very similar specifications. The differences are minimal, a slightly larger screen, a little more power and a slight improvement in the rear cameras. It is clear that the new model is better, but Might as well pay 250 dollars more? I don’t think.
The official price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 1,469 dollars. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is no longer sold in Apple stores, but there is still stock in some stores. And we found an offer that leaves it in place only 1,215 dollars. It’s them 254 dollars less than the new model and, honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it.
This iPhone 15 Pro Max is more interesting than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
Honestly, given the few differences, I think for a large majority of users, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a better option. The price difference is too big to make it worth buying. Here are some of the reasons why I would:
- The iPhone 15 Pro Max is almost identical to the iPhone 16 Pro Max: Aside from the slight increase in screen size, the two devices look exactly the same. The design has varied and both use titanium and glass as the main material.
- Lots of power: The A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro Max has more than enough power for everything you need, is capable of running the best games, and is compatible with Apple Intelligence. The power improvement of the A18 Pro chip will not be noticeable.
- Almost the same cameras: Apple only changed the ultra-wide-angle sensor of the iPhone 16 Pro, so most photos and videos will be almost the same between the two devices.
- Many years of support: The iPhone 15 Pro Max is going to be updated over the next 6 or 7 years and will continue to perform very well, making it a smartphone with a bright future.
- Price difference: I think that 250 dollars is a lot due to the few differences that the two devices present, considering the significant investment that it represents, it is better to save it.
With deals like this, I think the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a highly recommended option. The Pro Max models are quite expensive and being able to access one of them for less is good news. The only option to get it cheaper is to buy a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro Max, which isn’t a bad option either. In fact, this will soon be the only option to buy it since stocks are sold out in most stores around the world.
