I had the 12 and jumped to the 15 (no plus, no pro)… and the difference is huge.

USB C. The back feels much more softer thanks to the frosted glass. Battery lasts all day. And the camera has a new 48mp sensor (rear cam). Photos are much more crispier. HDR is also improved much.

I’d recommend going for the 15 if you can. It’ll do him good for atleast the next 3-4 years just fine.

Well, atleast it’s better than last year’s! I liked the presentation. It was simple, and yet easy to understand and share.

Hopefully 2024 replay is gonna be much better!

I want a camera that won’t let me down. Apps that should “just work”. Crystal clear audio during calls. Then there’s the ecosystem which is honestly unparalleled.

Oh, and software support that lasts me atleast 4 years.

I prefer texting people more than calling, but I keep the phone app on the dock regardless. I guess it’s a habit? Won’t be changing it anytime soon.

You donate it to your neighborhood Witcher.

Coming from the iPhone 12, the colours on the 15 sure feel more punchy. HDR has improved a lot. The bigger main sensor helps.

And I absolutely LOVE photographic styles- being able to choose what I want. I just wish if it’d be accessible within the camera app tho, for quick shots.

Tbh Aaron, if you stay you might still end up being biased. It’s only human. I’d be okay with you passing the mantle onto a new guy who can carry the weight, while sticking around as one of us plebs.

All the best for your bright future, fellow nerd.

I want it the other way around. Ringtone at 15% and alarms at 100%. Kinda lame we can’t keep them separate.

Holy cow! I’m not alone! I listen to music a lot on my AirPods Pro 2nd gen, and this happens to me often. Volume lowers a tad and i gotta turn it back up again.

I’m currently on iOS 17.1. Happens both on Spotify and Apple Music. And no I don’t have loud music alert turned on.

I started with crappy Chinese phones before android was a thing. My first true “smartphone” was Samsung Galaxy Y.

After my first Paycheck arrived, I jumped to Oneplus 7 Pro, then a used iPhone X…. And then never looked back.

Haha, I’ll take the alleged risk, Tim. Quit whining,and open up.

Scrolling Reddit. The text bleed is very annoying.

A better screen. 60Hz refresh rate on an $800 phone in 2023 is a war crime.

Blame the system and never the absent fathers! /s

You don’t hang up on death

No. They maybe more focused on chips. But they are likely to drop support for the entire series in one go.

But hey, I could be wrong.

Not opening up NFC really pisses me off. Apple doesn’t have the time to launch Apple Pay in India, which is fine by me. But we’ve been using Google pay and Samsung pay for close to a decade now, so that still boggles my mind.

If you won’t do it, let others use your shite, apple!
