WHy everyone going straight for Pro or Pro Max?

[chari-men]

Some things don't have to try and understand.

Things like why some ppl need 10 different Rolexes, 20 pairs of shoes and 30 different branded bags.

Those are not gadgets leh.. i can have 10-20 different rolexes.. but i wont buy more than 1 rolex of the same design lol...

 

[chari-men]

How can you have 10-20 different Rolexes? There’s only a few model leh … since you say you won’t repeat design.

 

[kashix]

Wa... carry two phones at one go not troublesome meh??

I used to carry 1 iPhone 16 Pro Max & 1 S25 Ultra, used to it le. Was carrying iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro before selling my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I also carry two phones out everyday.
16 Pro is my daily driver. I’ll have either the 15 Pro, Pixel 9 or S25 Ultra to go along with it and recently it has been the 17 Pro

I would personally do that too, but no feel to hoot compared to iPhone 16 series.
Weirdly, more attracted to the Air as time passes, maybe cause the blue looks better compared to the Pro Max blue .

I'm carrying iPhone 16PM & Pixel 10 Pro XL, with my POCO for work too, so pretty normal to have 2 phones nowadays.

To be fair, you're asking in a niche forum full of tech enthusiasts. Of course most here will want the best of the best with the highest end specs.

But if you look at past trends of base iphone sales globally, the base iPhones are usually selling just as well sometimes even better than the Pros.

HWZ forum isn't a good indication/representative of the model's popularity when normies don't come here at all.

Okay, mean base model equally adapt and popular as well, thought everyone just bypass it

Yes, we don’t talk about the base 17 here but actually it has been on back order on Apple Store since launch day.

Plus they’re bumped up the storage so the most popular 256gb model is even cheaper now at $1299. Compared to iPhone 16, 256gb was $1449 last year.

I use 1 for work, 1 for personal media consumption.

Out of curiosity. Do you link the same icloud account for both phone? Like that will share the same library and imessage?
I'm using 2 phone but 1 android and 1 iphone. For photo backup i'm using google photo to link both phone.

Use same iCloud can don't sync too, but that defeats the purpose of the interconnectivity isn't it.
If want separate, best to have separate Apple ID.

Then yes, photos can use Google Photos to sync and ease of access..

I don't really understand why ppl need two iphones from the same series lol ..

1 work, 1 personal.

If your work deals with sensitive stuff and heavily locks down your device, then you really want a separate device.

Wrist can be trained
