The most expensive MacBook money can buy costs $7,199. That’s almost three times the 16-inch MacBook Pro’s base price of $2,499. How do you go from the base price of $2,499 to $7,199? Upgrading from the base 16-inch MacBook Pro to the highest pre-configured MacBook Pro costs $1,000 and includes an M3 Max processor (14-core), 36GB of memory, and 1TB of storage. Upgrading to the 16-core M3 Max chip costs an extra $300. That’s a relative bargain compared to the other available upgrades.

If you get your iPhone 15 wet, it will most likely be okay, but that doesn’t mean you should intentionally dunk it in water. You should do your best to keep your iPhone 15 dry rather than test the iPhone 15’s limits. The iPhone 15 may be water-resistant, but it’s far from waterproof. While there are videos of iPhone 15 water tests making the rounds, they’re generally under controlled conditions. The iPhone 15 is splashed gently or held underwater at a shallow depth.

If security is important to you, think about installing Apple's iOS 17 update right away. iOS 17 brings new security patches to the iPhone. If you're interested in the exact nature of these improvements, you can read about them over on Apple's security website. If you skipped older versions of iOS, like iOS 16.6.1, you'll get the security patches from those updates with your iOS 17 update as well.
