iPhone 15 Pro Reviews: Improvements Go Well Beyond USB-C

It's what they have to do to get early access to products. Painfully transparent but all part of the marketing machine.
I'm sure we will see iJustine imminently licking the new 15 Pro.
Well they have to earn their pwwwwesents!
How about speed?, what benefits did the 3nm CPU brings in real life??.
So Apple is finally catching with Android phones… of 5 years ago… and we, mindless marketing subjects, are happy to spend over 1000usd for that old tech… and I desperately NEED the natural Ti pro max. All others are a downgrade over my 14 pro Max.

Like for real, hasn't anybody told them that "being negative" isn't the cool thing anymore?
🤔 Does anyone know what the 5x telephoto lens f-stop is, I.e. how much light is let into the sensor.
After seeing reviews, I think my 13 Pro Max it's staying one more year with me.
Looking foward to the 2024 16 Ultra, hopefully with a better display, a smaller Dynamic Island (maybe under-display FaceID), and even better GPU ray tracing graphics.

I always take these embargo lift reviews with a grain of salt. They are the same every year.
I would have to assume there is, but I'll be loath to repurpose that Action Button because I will want to still have a reliable and immediate way to be sure the phone is on silent. The certainty of the hardware mute switch will be missed.
What I'm hoping is that a future iOS update allows one to assign a new function to the Action Button while still letting you use it to silence the phone -- say, a long press-and-hold to toggle mute while a shorter press activates whatever other function.
You'd never know from all the USB-C zealotry on forums like this. You'd think the Lightning port was murdering puppies, the way people freak out about it.
iPhone 15 Pro Max brings improvements in various aspects, without distorting the philosophy of the iPhone and in some states it even costs 150 euro less than the 14 pro max.
Good work this year too, all very balanced, as tradition.
For me this year the Pro Max is the model to buy and also this year the best top of the range on the market.

I watch MKBHD.. his videos are informative and he's not shy about criticizing apple or pointing out any negatives about the products.... He will even tell you if something is not worth buying or upgrading to..... I think at this point he has enough clout that he can do that without worrying about Apple black balling him. He's definitely not like most of the others.
I thought the PetaPixel one is pretty good. Did you watch it? I felt it provided a focused technical review of the iPhone 15 Pro camera's capabilities.
Damn, truly the best apple they ever made. Wow. I bet they will do make even better one next year.
Geekwan A17pro review
This is the review that I mentioned earlier. It's now posted on Youtube as well. Touched on a lot more aspects (aside from aesthetics) and much more in depth than most of the reviewers in this article.
1, CPU has a great upper limit but comes at a very high cost in energy consumption, much, much higher than expected. Higher temperature, takes shorter to throttle, etc.
2, GPU is similar. Also not very energy-efficient.
3, Because of the first two points, battery life disappoints. iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max both saw significant downgrade from 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

150 nits? What percentage of max is that? Who surfs with their screen super dim in the real world?
This is me. I've had the iPhone 11 Pro since release. And I'm happy with it for the most part.
However, I'm ready to upgrade. I have a big trip to Chile coming up and this is my camera of choice. Small, portable, good photos. I can't upgrade every year, makes no sense to me Personally, I guess if I had money to blow then I could if I desired.
We’re using a forum on a corporate fan fiction website. Your statement absolutely includes us 😄
I don’t think the point is the 150 nits, it’s the fact they use this same test for all their phone battery phone testing to provide a benchmark.
I would take those with a pinch of salt.
nobody has reported on any issued with battery life
Oh definitely. Whole lotta silly nerds declaring USB-C the only upgrade on that phone here too 😆
