Just switched back to iPhone from my 8 Plus to the 16 Pro Max… thoughts?

The camera on the 8 Plus really takes me back… like that meme with Will Smith just standing there looking disappointed

Not super familiar with it, but yeah, sounds like it fits!

Honestly, the 8 Plus was such a classic look

Totally agree… and that glass back was just something else. I think it was the first iPhone to have that glossy look

Well, actually the 4 and 4S had glass backs too

@Lake
Oh right! I guess the 4 felt more plasticky though. The 8 Plus had this glossy, almost fragile feel to it

I actually thought the glass and aluminum combo on the 4/4S looked really cool. But I remember being so excited when I got my 8 and seeing that shiny glass again

Didn’t make as big a jump as you, but I went from the XS Max to the 16 Pro Max just yesterday and loving it already… enjoy!

Nice one! XS Max battery holding up well or was it time for an upgrade?

@Peyton
Battery was under 80 percent, so I was charging it constantly. Almost decided to replace the battery but it was starting to get slow too… zero regrets upgrading now

Sounds like the upgrade was worth it then! My 8 Plus wouldn’t make it through half a day when it was at full strength lol

I can relate… started with the iPhone 3GS, then went to Android for a bit. Now back with the iPhone 15 Pro Max from the S23 Ultra, and I’m happy with the choice. Loving FaceTime, Find My, and a battery that actually lasts

@Ben
Great to hear! But I still can’t give up my S23 Ultra because of the zoom and how useful it is for work. But yeah, my iPhone is now my main… maybe other Apple stuff will sneak in eventually!

Please, for the love of everything, take off that camera protector… why do so many people use those?

It came with the case :sob: I’m not really a fan, but the excitement of a new phone got me to agree when the salesman offered it. Plan on taking it off once my other cases come in!

@Peyton
People using their new phones without cases… can’t relate :weary:

My fresh-out-the-box 16 Pro Max is rocking only a MagSafe pop socket and a smile

Had to use mine bare for a few days until my case arrived… felt so slippery. Got a matte clear case, and now I can see the design while feeling safer

Haven’t accidentally tapped the screen with my palm yet
