Finally made the jump from my old iPhone 5S to the 16 Pro Max. Feels like stepping into the future. Anyone else held onto an old phone for this long before upgrading?
That’s a huge leap. Next stop, iPhone 27 .
Do you still have the 5S? Would love to see what condition it’s in. Was it Space Grey?

Yep, Space Grey. I replaced the battery and screen myself, so it’s still working fine. Most apps don’t support it anymore, though. I mostly use it for music and pictures… I’ll share some photos soon.

Yeah, post some pics .
That’s one serious upgrade. The 16 Pro Max is a beast. It may not feel like a big jump from the 15 Pro, but compared to a 5S? Night and day.

Thanks! I wanted to upgrade since the XS, but things kept getting in the way. Finally got this one, and yeah, it’s a massive difference. Really happy with it.
Probably the biggest upgrade ever .
Wait… you used a 5S all the way to 2025? That’s wild.
Where’s the 5S?

Probably taking a picture of the new one.
That’s impressive. Congrats on the new phone!
Enjoy your new phone!
That’s gonna feel like a whole new world.
And in the best color too .
That’s a massive jump, bro .
Respect for keeping a phone that long.
Man, you must have had that phone since 2015? That’s some dedication. Enjoy your upgrade—I have the same one, and it’s great.
And here I was feeling good about upgrading from a 12 Pro to a 16 Pro. You win!
Enjoy your upgrade! And props for keeping the 5S running for so long. I moved from an XR to the 16 Pro.
