iPhone 15/Plus iPhone 15 Plus vs iPhone 13 Pro Max

[dmk1974]

My wife has a 13 Pro Max and she loves it (the large size mainly). No carrier deals, so trading in for a 15 Plus would be a net $319 vs $619 net to go all the way to a 15 Pro Max. Her 13 Pro Max still has 88% battery capacity so still good and otherwise works fine.

Is the 15 Plus better than the 13 Pro Max? Worth upgrading or hang onto for a 3rd year til the 16 series? Thanks!

I would hang on to it for another year. 13 Pro Max is still a great phone, the last premium iPhone with a sim-slot.

Is she asking for a new phone? My wife doesn’t really care as long as it works and looks “cute”.

Maybe replacing her battery if it’s a problem and riding it out another year could be an option.

No, she's probably fine. Her birthday is next week so good way to combo an upgrade for her

I wound up getting her a 15" MacBook Air to replace her 13" 2020 Air. She won't admit it, but she zooms the screen way too much on the 13"...larger 15" should help.
