I'm ready to click the buy button in the morning, and then go back to sleep right after that. :)

What if you’re coming from an iPhone 15 regular? How much better do you think the cameras will be ?
From a standard 15, the difference will be huge. You gain telephoto, 25% better low light performance, much better between zooms with all 48MP sensors with image stabilization. But if you don’t take low light, telephoto or zoom a lot,
maybe not enough for you.

I too am keeping my iPhone 17 Pro Max. A20 Pro chip when I haven't been bothered by my iPhone's performance in many years, some camera upgrades, a smaller Dynamic Island, and up to 15% longer battery life just isn't enough for me to care to upgrade. I've been going 3 years lately: 11 Pro, 14 Pro, 17 Pro Max. However, the rumored 20th-anniversary iPhone might entice me next year.

If you have a iPhone 17 Pro, it’s not even worth upgrading.
I have a 14 Pro and I don't think it's worth upgrading, although I am intrigued by the variable aperture camera. I can wait though.

Good luck to all those planning to get one this year. Keeping my 17 Pro Max and not upgrading.
