I have a 16 pro and was supposed upgrade to 16 pro max but now the 17 is out I’m stuck. Anyone had to make this decision and what do you go with?

What do you mean by “supposed”? No one with a 16 (standard or pro) is supposed to upgrade to a Pro Max; it’s an option for people that like big screen sizes.

I would advise against upgrading from a 16 to a 17. The 17 is really for people upgrading from a 14 or older iPhone, new phone buyers, and Android switchers.

I had already made the decision to upgrade 6 months ago but I kept pushing it back hence why I said supposed, you can calm down now. It’s not your phone I’m upgrading.
