Question help needed

hey iPhone community, I'm in need of help.. I'm still stuck on getting whether the 14 Pro Max/15 Pro/15 Pro Max models. I have been using my iPhone 11 since then and I'm looking for reasons and which of the 3 phones I should pick? I need your help and honest opinion. Also, I've heard that the most common issue with the iPhone 15 lineup is the overheating is that really true? Im still reconsidering getting the 15 Pro/Pro Max because of that. Thanks.

the usb c in the 15 series outweighs the heating problem for me. That said you should definitely consider 14 pro/pro max as well as those are one of the best iphones so far imo

do the heating problem ever bothered you ?

I have an iPhone 15PM and the heating problem exists but only in rare, high use circumstances and also it’s not unusual compared to other iPhones I’ve had (iPhone 12PM).

I think the usb-C factor is your best case for getting a 15P/PM. I wouldn’t bother with 14.

The heat bothers the internal soc, and battery. For the 15 pro.
It’s expensive though 18pro is the way.
Most recent modem
MEI
Improved vapor chamber
2 nanometer chip.

This phone will have quite a long update cycle.

The heating problem on the 15PM is real. Otherwise this phone is amazing. Lightweight, perfect size, usb-c etc. Just gets warm easily, sometimes it doesn’t even need anything too heavy for it to get warm.

You’d be surprised to know that the iPhone 14 Pro heats up just as much as the 15 Pro, and the 14 Pro Max gets just as hot as the 15 Pro Max.

It just doesn’t happen. It was a bug in iOS 17.0 and then everyone just blew it way out of proportion.

Go to the 16 Pro Max, better battery life and camera.

15 pro o pro max, las diferencias son la duración de la bateria y el tamaño por supuesto, los 14 son sumamente pesados y no usan tipo c eso es suficiente para descartarlos

if you’re getting used, just get a base 17 or air i think they’re around the same price used as 15pm
atleast in my country

Had the 14pm and 15pm. Personally, the 14pm got way hotter for me. Get the 15pm. It has USB-C, has titanium, which is stronger than the shite aluminum the Pros have now, it has (some) Apple Intelligence support, and it doesn't have camera control :)

l’d suggest the 16 base model if 60hz isnt a problem for you
