Nice! 😎

[–] _PolynomialTime_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Curious, how was your battery life on the 7 just before the switch?

[–] citylimits02@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to a whole new world!

[–] ComfyBedAndPillow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you

[–] YoDo_GreenBackReaper@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wow 8 years!

[–] Quadry16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Do you do overseas shipping?(just inquiring for the iphone 7)

[–] operian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What do you feel about the size?

[–] ComfyBedAndPillow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Its so huge in hand, but ill get used to it eventually because i love how good and smooth the screen is.

You beat me to it

[–] Xantaraxy0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The high refresh rate of the newer iPhones is great but makes it hard to go back to 60hz

[–] Puzzleheaded-Bee3535@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OP, size matters 🤣

[–] d1jpd01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Congratulations on the upgrade! How are you finding the transition from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Any standout features or differences that you're enjoying?

[–] pornocreep_69@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Congratulations! I have mostly the same upgrade path as well, from 7 Plus to 15 Pro Max 😅

[–] Automatic_Still_6278@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pro Max just sounds... Dumb. Like best ultra, which I'm sure will be the next line up. Happy for you getting a new phone but the names grind my gears

[–] EricBelov1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

You don't want to keep your phone just out of sentimentality? I have all my phones since iPhone 4S. And your iPhone 7 seems to be in a good condition.

To bad that I lost my first phone - K750i.

[–] Quirky-Rent-5567@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Classic

[–] SnooPeanuts5454@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I always dispose my old phones, it is eco friendly and even $50 is worth it as it can go towards a case or whatever.Moreover such an old device is literally a fire hazard...leaving it unsupervised in a drawer is not a great idea.

[–] Redformanisreal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I still have my OG iPhone 2G and it works great

Lol same i cant give off my first ever phone iphone 8 plus i got some attachment with it haha

[–] Bowler_26@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Damn! 🥹

[–] Applecations@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Big upgrade I’m sure! I recently went from 11 pro (84% health with 740 battery cycles) to an iPhone 15 regular 256GB of storage. Figured it was time after I could take advantage of a $800 trade in deal with AT&T to make it $2.75 a month over 36 months

[–] Electrical_Device941@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just upgraded from an 8 to a 14 because my phone had almost no trade in value and $5 a month was impossible to pass up from att.

[–] Applecations@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That is a very good deal as well, wishing you great enjoyment out of your upgrade too! 🥂

[–] iM4CH3T3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Whooooooohhhoooooo....!!! Congrats 🎉

[–] Deathskulll99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nice upgrade man more to come.

[–] Any_Mood2248@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

congrats! i recently upgraded too from 7 to 12 mini and the biggest difference was screen oled has beautifull colours and also grip and materials feels better

[–] AlmightyGoddess@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I see a UGreen haver, +1 for its quality, that tempered glass is seriously unrivalled, been on my IPhone ever since 4 years ago.

[–] elonmusk6215@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Broo that iphone 7 is pristine...

[–] Reasonable-Berry-488@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s a great upgrade

[–] Manfred_89@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If you find it difficult going from a small phone to such a big phone, consider the pop socket MagSafe wallet. Allows you to store cards and has a very nice grip. And because of MagSafe its super easy to remove or attach.

[–] Marikuroo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is what I also felt when I upgraded from my 6S Plus (that had a decaying battery, LCD problems and broken headphone jack) to a refurbished iPhone 13 LOL!

[–] Bittersweetblossom@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

When an upgrade is finally worth it.

Nice.

[–] Svartdraken@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why is the screen protector box thicker than the phone package

[–] wildcollector@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wallpaper? I love it 🤩

[–] LeonaldoCristiansi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don't sell the old one.

[–] rebelliouslegacy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Good luck, I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the 15.

[–] mrjames718@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You skipped the whole notch era !

[–] Toredo226@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice jump! I just did the same from a 6S. Seems like lots of people are doing long jumps this year!

Congo man, nice upgrade!

[–] Wrycalin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

How long did your iPhone 7 battery last? Did you ever replace it?

I had my 7 from 2017 to 2021 and had to ditch it because of the battery. It served me well nonetheless.

[–] Buffalo047@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Awesome dude.. i have an iphone 8 and i plan to buy iphone 16 pro max nxt year… but sadly i have 0 dollars with me to buy it.. but i hope i would buy it someday… anyways congrats on your new iPhone…

[–] lucioboopsyou@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s a true upgrade lol

Good riddance to Touch ID

[–] Time_Technician_2339@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wow how will u get used to the size?

[–] Flyer888@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You’re gonna miss the haptic home button for the first weeks. But you’ll forget it pretty soon. Congrats.

[–] Puzzleheaded-Bee3535@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

W upgrade! Enjoy! 😁

[–] Roberthen_Kazisvet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You more than doubled your iPhone, noice

[–] Spooderman_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Holy upgrade. Enjoy it man!

[–] TwoFamue@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m jealous 🥺

[–] Pure-Garlic-9268@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Be Careful the iPhone 15 is extremely weak… you can snap it In half like a toothpick
