I guess it was designed to make the 15 Pro look great; instead it makes me think the 14 pro is crap

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

I went with natural titanium. It looks nice on the Apple Watch Ultra.
I personally don’t disagree with you based on my own needs, but I do expect the camera to be the biggest selling point of any smartphone these days for most people.
I had to block him.
- Nexus boot looped, bad battery & AMOLED burn-in
- Esential broke apart and folded as a company
- Dell had a TN display
- MBP 16" 14nm overheats even when he assures us it does not then 3 years later the 2021 MBP 16" 5nm comes out
I spent nearly $5k!
If I didn't buy those 2 flagship Android phones and those two Intel laptops and instead just stuck to just 1 iPhones at any given time and kept using my 2011 MBP 13" 32nm until the 2021 MBP 16" 5nm then I'd be more than $2k ahead!

Who on earth trusts any of these tech "journalists".
They're all desperate to stay in the club and receive early units and invites.
MrWhostheboss talking it up after Apple gave him an interview with top bosses ffs.
ijustine.....
lets see next week with real reviews from people not on the payroll, lets see the awful battery and heating issues that's been leaking out today on social media actually looked into.
Don't waste a minute on these garbage shills.

I think that might necessarily be true and that’s a little troubling because I could see Apple eventually turning into Steve Jobs’ description of Pepsi and Xerox, where the product didn't change so the designers and engineers lost power and the company began to be run by marketers. Maybe that’s just the natural course of a company.
and yet you keep reading them, proving their visitor analytics data to be correct.
Don’t bank on getting the A17 flavour that goes into the iPhone 16 matching the A17 Pro chip. They can disable cores and the USB 3 controller. I suspect they will stock up all the binned chips from this run of production and label them as “A17” in the future.
oof, i would never buy anything based on these youtubers... You just never know who is getting paid by who under the table to peddle garbage. I watch purely for entertainment purposes.... but knowing that all of them would likely sell out for a few bucks faster than a cheap hooker.I had to block him.

Sorry to hear that, but those were bad choices. Especially that "essential" phone.I had to block him.

Remember the article months ago about Tim touring the Sony factory and they talked about the all new and larger sensor they were making for the iPhone 15 pros? What happened to that? Bummed to hear it’s the same as the 14’s, why isn’t Apple trying anymore?
"No one will notice the 19 grams" they said.
"Titanium was nothing more than typical Apple marketing BS" they claimed.
"I'm sticking with my 12 Pro" they threatened.
Meanwhile, humans with actual hands-on experience with the new devices, shockingly offer a different take. Per the Verge:
And most importantly, it's quite a bit lighter than the stainless steel that came before it on the Pro models. It makes the 15 Pro and Pro Max 19 grams lighter than their predecessors. Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot, but you notice it, especially on the Pro Max. That might be the thing that impacts your experience using these phones more than anything else Apple did this year.
Nowhere does the phenomenon that is not seeing the forest through the trees run more rampant than in tech forums. Specs can be so overrated. Yet some can get so locked into a pointless megabyte, a insignificant megapixel, a single data point on a spreadsheet, that they completely discredit the fact that any consumer product is actually the culmination of thousands, if not millions, of individual data points all working in tandem to yield an experience. At the end of the day, the experience is what humans connect with. How it felt to do something is what they'll remember. Very rarely is the number of processors on anyone's mind when looking back at a photo, fielding a call, booking a flight. Apple has understood, and navigated, this human truth better than any consumer tech company to date. Facilitating positive human experience, it turns out, is darn good business.

So you’ve seen and held one of these in person already?
Geekwan on bilibili? Nobody knows what this is — no testing conditions, just bars with numbers. Why does this show the opposite of what other testers show? Could it be that a chinese site is trying make it look as bad as possible?
It’s now on YouTube, too. Here it is. You can see by yourself to tell if it’s true or not.
Who else is waiting on bated breath to hear what iJustine thinks of the new iPhone?
I've also helped translating the testing conditions in this forum thread to make for better clarity.
And I was laughed at for wanting active liquid cooling on this years phone.
Reminds me I saw somewhere you can buy a MagSafe cooling fan for the iPhone, we might need one to keep this thing from burning up!
Found it.
Razer made a $60 RGB cooling fan with MagSafe for your iPhone
Of course there are Chroma LED lights built in.

I laugh a tad at the review quoted saying that the 15 Pro has the best camera Apple has ever made. Umm, that is like the minimum requirement on a new phone that they say has a camera that is better than the last one. If this had anything less than the best camera Apple had ever made then it would be newsworthy.
No interest in watching the video or reading a thread about an unknown reviewer regarding battery life. I don’t understand the obsession with battery tests. When I get my 15PM, I’ll use it like I normally do — when the battery runs down, I charge it. If it runs down faster, I charge more often. It’s not that complicated, and I don’t spend any amount of time thinking or worrying about it.
Same for camera quality for me. I don’t look at my pictures and say “damn, Timmy’s 11th birthday party is ruined because Apples post processing is worse than the Pixel 7 that I don’t even have to compare it to!” I’m just happy I had a camera on me in the first place to capture the moment. Take photo, move on with life.
Well said. I feel it goes into the overarching point of how not everything that matters can be readily quantified. Shaving off a few grams doesn’t seem like much, but it apparently does make quite a bit of difference to a device as small and as dense as the iPhone.
For those who are interested in the cameras (and a few comparisons to other phones) I thought this review was interesting (although it really does look like an Apple promo video at times!!) -
