    I traded in my iPhone 11 to the iPhone 15 pro. Apple right now has my trade in and if all goes well, it will be a $200 trade in. I bought the 15 pro unlocked.

    👍👍video, 10hrs 30min plus screen on time and complaining about battery life 🤦‍♂️, dynamic island is nice for multitasking, I upgraded my 12pro to 15pro (liked it) then within 14day return window had fomo on 15pro max so tested hands-on in store for about 30min an it sold me so upgraded to 15pro max on the spot sent 15pro back for refund and been pleasantly surprised with all the little changes updates and functionality also the weight balance in one hand use is so much better than 12-14max, prices are ridiculous though”

    Jessica, please stop filming concerts! The people behind you also paid tickets and rather see the concert live and not through your phone’s screen! The society of the future will thank you.

    The first photo example itself had me laughing. Nobody is bothered about such minute things

    You forgot to mention MagSafe!!! I LOVE MagSafe! It was introduced on iPhone 12 and wouldn’t have been a feature of your iPhone 11. 🙂 You also forgot to mention pro motion 120 hz display.

    Great job with the video. You are a Max user & your battery is just fine.
    The 15pro is also my first pro. It’s the best iPhone I’ve had.
    It will only improve over time & your next review will likely walk back any negatives

    I finally upgraded my iPhone XS because of the fast haptic touch feature introduced in iOS 17. I didn’t want to give up 3D touch, but the short long-press is a good enough compromise

    It worth it for usbc for those who’ll make the most of it connectivity

    Nice video but why would you choose to compare this phone to an iPhone 11!?. Like of course it would be substantially better every way.

      Most people who will buy iP15 are from iP11, XR and below

    It must be awesome to work at CNET. If you can play on your phone for more than 10hrs. and say it’s for battery testing.

    Jessica is beautiful 😍 and the review wasn’t terrible either. Some CNET reviews tend to be extremely biased. This was mostly neutral in regards to a review.

    She doesn’t seem too impressed with the 15 Pro Max

    I’m coming from iPhone 7 Plus 😄 Whatever apps from social media to finance to apps that remotely control my car, house,… I can use on my 7 Plus! Pictures, videos taken on my 7 Plus are good enough for me. I had the battery changed a few months ago but the guy didn’t do a good job that now every time I charge my phone, I had to wiggle the chord at the right angle in order for it to charge and this is the only reason for me to upgrade, but honestly, I can hang on to it for another year until iPhone 16 comes out! Well, since it’s been a while that I upgraded, I also splurged myself and went for the Pro Max 🙂 Got my new phone 2 days ago but haven’t had time to transfer stuff from my old phone to the new one but will do that this weekend. I will probably look like a hillbilly with this new phone 😄

    Keeping my IPhone 13 Pro Max as the battery life is brilliant.

    In the same boat just upgraded from an 11 Pro Max. However, the widgets, apps and iOS 17 seem to justify the cost.

    Love the honesty about the dynamic island and the action button. Some people act like they’re the greatest thing on a smartphone ever
