Weekly poll results: the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the clear fan favorite, the 15 Plus gets no love

24 September 2023
The Pro Max has exclusivity on Apple's first periscope lens and that is really making a difference. The upgrade to 48MP for the vanilla phones barely tipped the scales.

Not to mention the signal is perfectly fine.
I think I'll patiently wait for the 16PM, or maybe even the 17PM.

    STT, 25 Sep 2023I mean, people switch things all the time. Thats what they ... moreI think people are happy with the ecosystem as a whole so if one device is not exactly perfect they don't mind. I have had android and windows since I can remember. I still have android and windows for work. But I gave apple a go.
    Macbook, ipad, iphone, watch, airpods, apple tv 4k.
    People sometimes underestimate the benefits of an ecosystem.
    Apple products are supported and are still functional for many years.
    I don't have to buy a new macbook for say 6 years, a watch for 4 years, iphone for 4 years, apple tv for 5 years, ipad for 8 years! People have a system and they are upgrading parts of it. Upgrading to a new iphone is like upgrading a graphics card. It's an upgrade.
    Say an s23 ultra which is a brilliant phone on its own it just doesn't fit!
    From the perspective of most people on GSMA it seems absurd that people don't want to switch because they see it as a standalone device. People are happy in the "walled garden".
    All you need is two apple devices/services that you really like to keep you in the garden.
    All other ecosystems are missing essential devices. You might want a Samsung ecosystem but their laptops are not good and up until very recently their tablets were very inferior to ipads. It's a risky investment too. Samsung products have poor resale value so it's hard to take the plunge and switch.
    People think that people go for apple for the status symbol but the truth is outside the US people buy iphone even tho they know they will be criticised and bullied by fanboys left and right and the media. Everybody loves hating on Apple.

    At the end of the day it's just a product that's not that different in price to other flagships. I don't understand why people lose their minds.

            Anonymous, 25 Sep 202319 grams is innovationAlmost! Experts have tried to explain why it feels so light, it feels lot more than 19g, you will understand when you hold one.

            "Overall this means that the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ doesn't just weigh less; its design ensures that its mass is distributed in a manner that makes it resist rotational motion less strongly. This results in a device that feels more agile and nimble, giving an amplified impression of lightness."

            15 Pro Max feels almost same weight as 14 Pro, which is really great for such a big device.

                      Also, the titanium doesn't absorb impact as good as aluminum or stainless steel, which means more shock is going to other parts of the phone, which are more fragile. This is partially the reason why the new models are failing drop test so badly.

                              Honestly?
                              I'm a huge Apple fan, but last year's 14 Pro series disappointed me, and this year's 15 Pro series also disappointed me. USB-C isn't revolutionary, although it's good to see Apple finally joining the right side, and Titanium - don't even get me started. I'm losing more and more hope for the 16 Pro/Ultra series of 2024.
