I was gifted an iPhone 15 Pro, delivered yesterday morning, by yesterday evening it was being sent back (Network couldn’t sort out my contract).

But during this time I got to play with it, I was upgrading for an iPhone 11 (normal, not pro) and was so excited for the huge difference, but I just didn’t feel it?!

Do you feel you’ve had a big difference from your previous upgrade? I took the same photo on my 11 and 15th and unless you zoomed in, you couldn’t really see the difference. The sound quality on the 15pro I could hear every breath when recording and I also felt like white colours were ‘too strong’ on the screen making videos/photos feel fake on the 15 pro compared to read on the 11. Are you noticing any of these? Did I just not get to play long enough?

Upgrading from 7 to 11 felt HUGE and I was expecting that again, especially with this being a Pro model.

      I’m going to turn on my own kind here (that’s a joke, I don’t have brand loyalty), and reveal that Android offerings are no longer far off from this.

      The only exceptions I can think of are the folding phones, which are actually a pretty cool innovation (albeit somewhat niche still.)

    I went from an 8 to a 12 mini, that was a decent leap for me, I will definitely give it another year

    When i went from a 4S to a Xs Max i felt everything. But from Xs Max to 14 pro. Nothing but just a phone with a bit better camera and nothing else. Maybe the 120hz screen

    I’m surprised you didn’t notice the high refresh rate (ProMotion). That’s probably the biggest thing my 14 Pro offered me over my XR

    I went from 7 to 11 pro max, left that on the roof of my car and drove off. Replaced it with 12 pro max. Waited til usbc came to iPhone, and upgraded to 15 pro max. The upgrade between each is astonishing to me every time.

    The smallest incremental difference being 11 pro to 12 pro. Just slightly larger cameras and square edges.

    The biggest difference with newer model phones is the camera. 📷 My jump from a 7 plus to a 14 pro max (just 2 weeks ago!) was huge because of the crisp, sharp difference in the camera capabilities 👍

    iPhone 8+ to iPhone 15+. Yo what major difference. Adjusted to no haptic buttons was odd. Screen clarity, photos, speaker volumes. Just wow

    In my opinion phones are just boring.

    But for an enthusiast I can absolutely see how you can be happy with such a upgrade.

    yeah i was all geared up to swap out my iphone 12 with a 15 Pro before the release but now i think i might just take a stab at replacing the battery in my 12

    I went from 14 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max and it was a big difference.

    1. weight
    2. portrait pictures
    3. charging speeds
    4. gaming speeds and quality (the 15 did heat up a little)

    I just got the 15 pro today (upgraded from the 11). To be honest…I don’t feel much of a difference.

    I can tell the screen is more crisp, faster and the other differences. But the difference just isn’t enough for me to really care. It’s probably because I’m just a casual user maybe? Or because I’m getting older. 🥲
