really funny seeing all the rabid consumers fawn over a phone upgrade that changes virtually nothing
I used a VPN from here in the Bay Area to put my location in NYC, so it’s a more reasonable 08:00 to order then.

Yes, every year Apple has increased the ram, the iPhone has been so much quicker, and you don’t get all those issues like apps crashing just because you took a picture. More ram was my #1 request this year, I’m not happy the larger battery rumors didn’t pan out.
My theory is Apple really wanted to market the phone being lighter with the switch to titanium, and so they didn’t want to erase any weight savings that larger batteries would have made. As we’ve learned with cars, there’s a point of diminishing returns with gas mileage when just going after efficiency. At some point you just need a bigger gas tank. Hopefully next year they can increase the battery size since the whole titanium weight savings thing will be old news by then. I’m hoping for an iPhone ultra with a huge battery where weight isn’t a concern.
Unfortunately Safari ALWAYS reloads upon iPhone re-acquiring mobile or wifi connections - same as prior or new on either. It’s so annoying! The only way I’ve found to stop this is either NOT connect or be in airplane mode or enable reader mode - yet not all sites allow for that.
The people that went to the moon landed flat on the surface, same can't be said about an iPhone. It needs a case becouse of the giant lump sticking out of the back!
As a welder I know not to weld two different types of metal together because during the cooling & heating it will crack due to the stress.
You heard it here first, a year from now will be hearing about iPhone 15 Pro experiencing cracking. Crackgate!

Salty because there's hardly any difference between 14 pro model and 15 pro model. Where's 4k action mode video?!
...then don't buy it?
Wherever they want it to be. They don't ever have to add that (or any) feature if they don't want to (except USB-C because a government literally forced it), and you are not required to keep buying new Apple devices. Apple has done nothing that you should be salty over. If they were to make your current phone worse, then yes, that would be something to be salty about. But they didn't, your phone continues to work 100% exactly like it used to unless you update it, in which case you get more features for free. Dunno, I am satisfied.
ChargerLAB just posted their video of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It only goes up to 9V⎓3A (27W) even with the highest-end USB PD sources. No advantage is taken by the iPhone of the extra power that direct USB PD offers, unlike a few devices from other companies (albeit not Samsung or Google) that take up to over 90W from such sources.
And I think the reason the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus only have USB 2.0 is because the USB controller that allows USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the Pro models was not a feature of the A16 chip when it was developed. The next model should have this.
It’s almost as if the USB-C port on the new iPhone models is just a USB-C to Lightning adapter that is built into the device.
