There's a cost-effective iPhone Pro if you want to prepare for Apple Intelligence, but Apple will not sell it to you.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max hasn't been my go-to camera despite it taking some fantastic photos. I've got an idea why the iPhone 16 Pro Max may be different.

The iPhone 16 Pro adds a feature that I've dearly missed on my iPhone 15 Pro in the past year. It's a welcome change.

Apple just retired two iPhones capable of Apple Intelligence. Even so, the range of iPhones is wider than it was a month ago.

It's still possible to get a new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max from retailers if you hurry, but Apple has officially discontinued both 2023 models, as well as the iPhone 13 and other products as part of its annual streamlining.

As for Apple’s main high-end phone competition, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra fell well short of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, clocking 16 hours and 45 minutes of battery life, despite having a larger 5,000mAh cell (compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 4,685mAh).

When Apple launched the iPhone 16 models on September 9, it discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units. However, Flipkart has both models available for those looking to buy and at a major discount.

These are the differences between the iPhone 16 Pro Max's specs and those of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for users curious about upgrading or wondering if it's worth saving money by buying an older model.
