17 pro max or 18 pro max?

Hey,im currently rocking iphone 15 pro max and its fine but im planning to get a new one and give the 15 to my dad,so i was wondering is 18 pro max worth it over 17 pro max ? I live in europe and price difference is quite big,i can pick up brand new 17 pro max for around €1100 or 18 pro max for €1650...what do you think? Thanks!

550€ is a lot of money 😅 my SIL has the 17pm and it’s been amazing, I have the 18p and honestly I don’t see any difference
She’s better at taking pics than me so hers actually look better haha

As a 17 pro max to 18 pro max user, I can say for 550 euros, go the 17 pro max. That’s a massive difference for what you’ll feel phone tech wise

Apple only offering me like €860 for my 17 iPhone pro max. Tempted to trade in against a duo.

550 euro difference is not worth it. 17 Pro Max will be fine and you’ll appreciate it all the same.

I had the same dilemma and went 17PM, I couldnt see enough of an upgrade between the two to justify the additional cost. I came from 16PM and still noticed a big upgrade in terms of thermals and battery performance so I'd recommend it.

Also Orange is the best colour there is

17 Pro Max. Coming off a 15 Pro Max you'll feel the jump either way, and nothing on the 18 adds up to 550 euros of daily difference.

That 1100 isn't fixed though. I'd point dEssence, which I work on, at the exact listing I'd be buying from and come back to the decision once the number moves. https://dessence.ai

I went from 15PM to 17pm. Not a big difference, to 90% almost no difference at all other than battery.

2 year upgrade is not worth nowadays.
