My iphone 11 pro max is still technically fine but I want something newer, like 5g and promotion. I would love an s24 but may get an iPhone 15 pro max purely because I’m still a student and quality of life as a college student is better with an iPhone, easier group chats with classmates, airdrop, and I think the new contact sharing will be very useful.

Could be worse, my friend pre-ordered a 15 pro and got sent an empty box, a sealed empty box.

Definitely s23, if you can wait maybe even s24

They often do free storage upgrades and extra trade in credit, I’d wait for that opportunity. The extra storage on the base s23 isn’t just extra storage, it’s considerably faster storage as well.
