Should I buy iPhone 17 Pro Max now or wait for iPhone 18 Pro Max?
I’m seriously thinking about buying the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but at the same time I keep wondering if I should just wait for the iPhone 18 Pro Max release.
My main dilemma is this:
If I wait 4-5 months and the iPhone 18 Pro Max ends up being only incremental improvements, then maybe waiting was pointless. But at the same time, what if the 18 actually brings major upgrades that make the 17 feel outdated quickly?
Another thing is that first release devices sometimes have bugs, overheating, battery issues, camera processing problems, or software instability during the first months. So part of me thinks buying the more mature 17 Pro Max could actually be the safer move.
For people who usually upgrade iPhones:
Would you buy the 17 Pro Max now and enjoy it immediately, or wait for the 18 Pro Max?
Also curious how often you regretted waiting vs regretted buying too early.
