Other Are you returning your 15/15 Pro series?

It's significantly lighter than the 14 series. The hand feel is anyway. I wasn't expecting how big of a difference the feel would be.
I’m quite surprised by the number of ‘nope’. Seems like Apple nailed it with the masses. This is consistent to what I observed; the Apple Store I went to was packed to the gills with pickups in the evening around 8pm. Even the Genius Bar turned to pickup stations and there were a number of locums directing traffic in the store as well.
No doubt the 15/15 Pro are hits. I’ll be returning mine however and I’ll open a new thread to share some disappointments over the design.

You need a thunderbolt cable to achieve those speeds. The included cable is not thunderboltConsidering it, as transfer speeds on my Pro are listed at 480 Mb/s not the 10 Gbps Apple advertised
Hmm not sure yet. I got a bigger capacity phone this year and the transfer speeds are certainly a big consideration for me. But coming from a 14 pro I am really not sure I can justify spending 1500€ on a phone right now. The phone hasn't really made an impression on me I am afraid. Same battery life, same cameras, same form factor, same design, and since the phone will sit in a case the color also doesn't really make a difference. As for the action bottom, dunno, probably a nice gimmick for a few days but honestly the placement is not great (too high on the left, can't reach intuitively while one handing it) and I don't think I will be actively using it in the future, so that doesn't help it's case.
Adding to that the accessories for the 14 pro are really cheap right now (and you can actually get apple leather cases for it lol, imagine that).
As for the USB-C situation. I think right now, for me at least, it is a hindrance since the only devices I own that use a usb-c connector are the iPad and a MBA. All my other stuff like the battery pack, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, my second personal iPhone all still use lightning. So at the end of the day I will need to carry around 2 cables, especially when I am not carrying my iPad or Mac. So it's really a weird situation right now.
I think I really have to think about it a bit more, but right now I am leaning towards returning it.

I totally understand your situation. I wish you would have a better experience with the 15 Pro but the 14 Pro isn’t a slouch either. Whatever decision you make it’ll be a good one. Cheers.
Yes, it feels/looks "cheap" to me compared to previous pro/pro max models. I'm also disappointed in the titanium blue color; way darker than I expected and looks closer to black than a real blue to my eyes. I wasn't impressed by any of the other colors either when I saw them all in person.
