Google says titanium is 40% of the weight of stainless steel, but I suppose the titanium in the 15 pros may not be pure titanium and could be some sort of alloy which may not save as much weight. So, I was figuring that a ~50-60% lighter weight from the frame could make the entire phone’s weight 10% lighter since presumably the frame, glass and battery are the heaviest components of the phone. Again, as others have speculated, the battery size/weight will most likely increase and other internal components might also increase in weight to offset anything the titanium yields. Anything lighter would be a win in my book, but I‘m skeptical that we’d be getting pro phones that weigh roughly what the 11 pros weighed (188 and 226 grams, respectively).
This means the PM is gonna have 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5-6 zoom, right? Since they can crop the 3x telephoto to 4x just like they crop the 1x to 2x?
I know some have had a bad experience. I am also sorta normal user like you. On worse days 7 AM to 8 ish PM I end with from 67 to 75 percent battery on my 14 ProMax. I probably read more of my book on ipad pro however and podcasts more there also So perhaps that usage would get me to where you end I do not know. Just my own experience
I am on 14 ProMax health is 96 percent just at end of summer (it was 100 percent through June but seemed to drop with a couple updates a bit). However I am at 67-75 percent battery left after 12 hours aprox use (7Am to 8 PMish. Seems there are some having problems like you and others with 14 ProMax’s that are ok?
As you know @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ me. Unless they have more than 6 x Periscope and other camera surprises gonna hold my 14 ProMax and wait for 16 Pro l one.
That's very fair, but at the same time you can't blame me for not wanting to spend somewhere between $1500 and $2000 for moving along this plateau. Yeah, I'm in Europe and unfortunately need the 512 version.

The Periscope camera is coming on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I think thats a big deal. You should upgrade!
Another big update going from an iPhone 11 is getting rid of the crappy Intel modem! It’s pretty bad compared to the Qualcomm modems. I’m looking forward to getting a consistent signal on my phone.
Not sure that 6 x over 3X much improvement. I find the rumors of the level of improvement with 16 ProMax sound more like what I am interested in. The rest of features (USB-c— more cables needed, loss of my mute button, titanium and meh colors) just do not grab me. So I am 90% certain of not upgrading. Depends what I learn about the periscope that sounds more interesting than the rumors. I want to see close comparisons of 3X and 6x on the 14 Pro line vs 15 Pro line before I get excited not hype out of Cook and co’s mouths LOL
Very exciting coming from an XR that’s currently on life support.
My signal on my XR hasn’t been terrible, but not the best. Is it that much of an improvement going to Qualcomm?
14 ProMax, no battery problems great life.
I used to own an iPhone X (256 GB). The awful Intel modem was the main reason why I upgraded to an iPhone 12 in 2020.
6x won't do that much compared to 3x. Same for 2x and 3x. A bit of zoom is useful for framing but I wouldn't expect great image quality at zoom extreme - this is a phone, not a real camera with a 10k lens.
And if the periscope is not instant, it's going to be annoying.
Yep pretty much what I am feeling, and the rest of the features are at best to me meh and a so called “S” Upgrade
On the other hand, rumors (and yeah they are rumors) is that the 16 ProMax ((ultra??) might have some significan upgrades giving it almost 300mm telephoto equivalency. That may be bull and hype but if true then 16 ProMax will be for me. Otherwise love my 14 ProMax a lot.
You are intense phone user. I am on my 14 pro all day (by my estimation) and I end the day with 40-50% left.
I dont understand the benefit of titanium. What are people doing where they need their phone to be more resistant to torsion or whatever the right name of the force is on the phone. The aluminum is holding up fine. Titanium alloys are great but…not clear the benefit other than the initial wow.
It will be interesting to see what they do, from the rumors I’ve read it sounds like it’s not gonna be much of an upgrade. Hoping it is though as I may finally replace my Samsung with one if it’s good enough. I carry 2 phones on me daily, and most of the time when I take pictures I use my Samsung, if I shoot video I use the iPhone. From what we know I expect the Pixel to further its lead on the iPhone when the new ones come out.
How much do you go outside? Do you have a bright house, with many windows? I have a theory that the problem that damns the 14P is the 2000 nit max brightness, but only for people who spend a decent amount of time in the sun to constantly activate it.
