The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max on AT&T?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“The 5x tetraprism telephoto is the most useful iPhone optical upgrade in years - distance photography is transformed.”
