THE OLD GUARD
Turn to p84 and you’ll find this trio occupying the top slots… but do they do enough to fight off the upstarts?
APPLE iPHONE 15 PRO MAX
Apple’s most specced-out phone zooms further, feels lighter, looks sleeker and upgrades the power to almost games console levels: if you haven’t seen Resident Evil Village running on it, you’re missing out. But it’s also a mighty expensive option, so why would you pick it over a Galaxy or Pixel… or indeed a OnePlus?
Well, to anyone already sold into the Apple ecosystem, this handset is as good as it gets. You’ll love the new titanium build, slimmer bezel and more immersive screen, and yes, even the Dynamic Island. It all feels like the best big phone Apple has ever made.
