I’m still struggling to understand what the dynamic island is for. My phone can already show notifications at the top of the screen

It’s not notifications, it’s real time summaries. If you have a flight, basketball game on, Uber, music, for me I have a baby app, it shows you meaningful information while you’re on your phone without having to go to that app. It’s one of those things if you haven’t used it then you won’t understand it. Merely sitting in a store and playing with it for 5 minutes doesn’t really show you anything. I also have an S23U and I do miss the dynamic island sometimes for certain tasks. Is it end all be all and I have to have it? No but it’s nice

I will keep my iPhone 13. I like the lightning, notch, and SIM card tray.

iPhone 15 is marketed to iPhone 12 users and lower to upgrade.

@Josh Webbs As a 13 user, I can say this phone can last at least 3 more years

Thank you for the comparison video. I can understand that one pays a bit more for the Max for size and zoom but why does the Pro Max gets 100% focus pixels and the Pro only get 6% focus pixels on the telephoto camera? iPhone Pro 15 was VERY attractive but… not anymore to me and I am not interested in caring a Max in my pocket anytime soon so a hard pass for me this year.

Having witnessed Apple’s transformative journey since the iPhone 1, it’s both nostalgic and somewhat disheartening to see the current trajectory. Where once Apple was a beacon of pioneering innovation, now it seems to be navigating safer, iterative waters. Siri, among other offerings, doesn’t seem to match the groundbreaking spirit Apple was synonymous with. My loyalty to this brand is deep-rooted, but the diminishing trailblazing ethos is palpable. I earnestly hope for a reinvigoration of the audacious innovation that Apple once epitomized.

I don’t like how apple went to the pro line as way to increase the price of the phone without raising the price.

The first and only iPhone I’ve had was the IPhone 4. I liked it but started using The Note.
My current Note phone is 5 years old. Thinking of trying out the 15 Max. Kinda want something new/different.

Why is no one talking about the carbon neutrality. That’s a big deal given the fact they did this by choice.

The most ” Mid ” event ever. Apple marketing is just brilliant! Convincing people to pay a premium price for less than premium features.

Well I getting iPhone 15 pro Max to replace my iPhone 13
M. Hill

15 pro max to replace my 14 pro max which replaced my 13 pro max which replaced my 12 pro max…
Just like when I had android phones and upgraded every year, or the iPhones before I went android for a few years.
After about a year of heavy use I always notice the decline in battery health and it’s either spend money on a replacement battery(no way I would let it get down to what applecare considers for replacement) or I just get a new phone.
Things that don’t matter to me:
non pro has usb 2.0 – not the one I’m buying so I don’t care.
No high speed charging – as long as my phone lasts from 730 am until 9pm I’m good. Much like my car, my phone charges primarily at night, while I sleep and am not using it.
Plus my current iPhone is worth more to trade now than it will be next year.

Aside from USB-C, none of the new “features” actually effect my life in a productive way. I’m guessing any meaningful change will only arrive with the iPhone 20 or something. And personally I think the iPhone’s design from X to the current 15 looks really ugly.

USB C, more powerful CPU, more powerful GPU, more ram, more powerful ML cores, new telephoto sensor and lens as well as 3D sensor shift, new anti reflective coating on the main lens, a new ISP that enables a whole slew of new software features for the camera including HDR5, 24mp photos, 48MP HEIF etc as well as the customisable action button, New refined shape/frame and yes, it’s all wrapped up in the very nice titanium body. Sounds like a pretty awesome upgrade for anyone on a 13 Pro or older. Dunno what you are expecting… Rocket thrusters?

Such a shame if the plus add in the pro motion, sure captures another pool of users. At least pro motion 90hz sure will better than 60hz. Maybe in the next iPhone 16 or 17🤣😹🤭

I really don’t like the colour options for the Pro models this year. However, I like the action button and the change to Titanium is nice. Would go for the natural Titanium colour if I was upgrading – which I am most likely not.

The switch to Type-C was most certainly not just a “rumor”. It is EU regulation, and was announced a while back.
