Those who are waiting for Apple Intelligence to fully roll out and decide on which iPhone to upgrade to will be able to consider the new iPhone SE alongside the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Based on the current evidence, Apple could be on to a winner with the SE, but the disappointing iPhone 16 Pro will take a hit in sales once more.

If you have an iPhone 14 model and don’t care much about Apple Intelligence, stick with what you have. The same goes for the standard 15, non-Pro models. And if you have a 15 Pro or Pro Max, definitely hold off. After all, the iPhone 17 is just around the corner.

It's all the more fun on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The larger display, extra power in the A18 Pro chip make the game more visually impressive, while improved cooling (thanks to new graphite and aluminum parts) makes it much more comfortable to hold than the iPhone 15 Pro was.
