      On the X and wondering if the Max is too much of a jump for me. Although it’s another year where I’m not really seeing a big reason to upgrade.

      Big fan BTW, your lounge chairs are cool AF.

        When I upgraded it wasn’t so much about the minimal updates in this year’s phone. It was the sum of 5+ years of updates that was compelling.

        Dynamic Island, a big camera spec jump, much faster Face ID, smoother scrolling, USB C, better Siri, MagSafe, etc.

          I know you’re right, but if it wasn’t for Apple dropping iOS support the X is still a perfectly good phone. I’m seriously considering waiting another year and hoping my banking apps continue to work.

          Ironically I did think about getting the Apple Watch X for the first time, but they all require a minimum of the iPhone Xs

      If you’re the type to upgrade frequently (since you own a 15 now), I’d say go for form factor if it’s important to you. I’m the opposite where I only upgrade when my phone dies or security updates are no longer supported, so I always go top-of-the-line when I do upgrade.

      If you want to give the big phone a try, you have 14 days to decide if you like it or not.
