Still on a 12 Pro Max, which I bought near the original launch. It is in need of its first replacement battery. I’m very curious to see how much snappier it feels with this next iOS release which is focused a bunch on performance; in addition to a new battery, since I believe my iOS is throttling performance given the health.

13 Pro here. Just upgraded my battery. May go another year or two at this rate. Always said that I didn't see a reason to upgrade once I had 5G UW

  Yeah I tend to squeeze the life out of my Apple purchases. iPhone 4s -> 7 -> 12 Pro Max. And still on a 2017 MBP at home, running Sequoia via Open Core Patcher.

I still use a 13 Pro Max for travel. Incredible longevity. The only downside is it requires a battery pack to last a full day but those are slim and compact now. I intend to replace the battery soon since it still has 2-3 years left as a backup. It will probably keep most of its value too, if hardware price inflation continues.

I still have my 11. The battery is garbage on it, but everything is still totally fine. Haven't upgraded to iOS 26 though...

  11 Pro Max. First battery needs replacement but it's ok on iOS 27. I don't need or want a new phone.

Still using my 12 Pro Max as well. Battery is still okay-ish on mine. Not good, but I don't have to actively worry about it. Will be looking forward to all the fancy new features when I replace it in 3-4 years

I use a 14 Pro Max and the battery capacity is down to 75%

I bought a 12 Pro Max around the time the 13s came out, still at 92% max battery capacity, and still feels very snappy. Every year I wonder if the new models are going to entice me to upgrade, and every year I find myself saying meh.
