Has the iPhone 15 Pro Max been worth it 6 Months Later? What are the standout features? How's the battery life been? What about the downsides? Were there any new features we didn’t end up using as much as we thought we would? We’ll answer all of these questions and give you our final verdict on whether you should go with this iPhone or not.
Specifically we’ll take you through what the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s battery life has been like over the past 6 months, the improved weight and comfort, whether or not you should go for the FineWoven case, whether or not going for the larger sized iPhone has been worth it. We’ll also take you through the camera system, new action button, USB-C port change, the standout features of iOS and Apple Ecosystem with this phone, what features we haven’t taken advantage of as much 6 months later. Then we’ll walk you through a few downsides like repairability, and our major one: Apple’s control over what you can download to your phone via the App Store.
