I just preordered the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I'm giddy, eager to get my hands on it, and thrilled with how (shockingly) cheap it was.
I’ve spent less money on a shiny new iPhone 15 Pro Max than I did on my iPhone 14 Pro when it launched, yet I’m getting more for my money. Sounds unbelievable, and I’ve had to double-check the figures, but it’s certain — this year’s bigger phone was cheaper than last year’s smaller one.
Related The iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199, or 1,199 British pounds, as I’m buying one in the U.K., so there’s no doubt this is still a massively expensive smartphone. But what’s surprising is that I paid 1,209 pounds for my iPhone 14 Pro, and yet this year, I’ve spent a tiny bit less than that on the cheapest iPhone 15 Pro Max and, crucially, haven’t sacrificed anything at all.
I can zoom in further There was no difference at all between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, outside of the screen size and battery capacity, which I found wasn’t enough to push me over the edge and to spend more money on the Pro Max model at the time. For the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple has added a 5x “tetraprism” optical zoom to the camera, and that’s very tempting indeed.
It’s much lighter than before I carry at least two phones around with me all the time, with one being whatever iPhone I purchase every year. I’ll say it’s part of my job, but it’s also because I’m a terrible geek. Size and weight then play a part, and the 240-gram iPhone 14 Pro Max weighed so much more than the 206-gram iPhone 14 Pro that I feared for the integrity of my pockets.
