Don't buy the Apple iPhone 15

13 September 2023
You're getting much more with the iPhone 15 Pro for not a lot more money.

Hi. Just wondered about newer, more costly processors, Now i’m a total noob when it comes to processors in smartphones, I’m waiting for a phone to arrive that has a g99 processor, is the speed and workload fair in comparison to newer phones you think? Sure its nowhere near the speed of the latest snapdragon for example (right?) but what kind of phone could the G99 be close in comparison to? The phone is a “Cubot x70” and I bought it because of the reviews and the price but what should I expect from it? Is it close to maybe a Samsung Galaxy s20 or something or is it better or worse than that? Thanks in advance mate

    invincisst, 18 Sep 2023True but except for 120 hz, I don't see anything else ... moreTrue all iphones have better software. We expect a lot better from apple and not cheap gimmicks at unreasonable price. Miss Steve jobs and someone please give Tim a strong coffe and wake him up for work. Or he maybe out of job

          iPhone has better software (ads bloatware not present, if it would have been Pixel/Nothing I wouldn't have added software as a pro)
          Better camera
          better processor
          far better resale value.

                          What about the absurd pricing of the 15 Pro in India though? That itself puts many buyers off.

                              Let me share my point of view on iPhones. First you could tell that I am an apple fanboy but trust me this is not 100% true. It’s very important to me is the software I really enjoy the iOS over the years I have used android devices but after some time they start to lag and this is the reason why I switch between other brand androids. Before 2 days I went to a store and have tried the fold 5 I really like this phone but from the beginning there was a lag and this is a brand new phone. Everything else is perfect you have a phone and a tablet amazing! Yesterday I receive a new phone from the company where I work Galaxy a something to be honest I didn’t experience any lag but I just don’t like it and told them I just don’t need it but company policy I need to keep it like my previous phone.. I like the design of Samsung and Xiaomi and imo xiaomi is better and if I need to switch from my iPhone it will be Xiaomi. What I don’t like about the iPhones - they are not brave in design they should be more open minded in that department - I like the design but I need something more let’s say interesting. Probably I will buy 15 Pro Max now I am with 14 Plus, because of the camera 120hz display and smaller bezels, why would I do that because this year I broke my phone it was mid year and decide to buy Plus model and to upgrade to the new Pro Max model when it is available. Also bought to my wife 14 pro max week after I bought my phone and I asked her yesterday do you want the new 15 pro max and you gave me the 14 she said no the phone is perfect. And yes we don’t care about colour storage and other bs I just want a phone with good camera good battery life and smooth os. That’s all. And last if Xiaomi or Samsung adopt iOS I will switch to them. Enjoy your phones guys in the end of the day this is just a tool don’t let brands to separate us they want this and that’s how they make money.

                                  But for Apple 1 USD = 135 INR

                                  That's why iPhone 15 Pro ($999) = 135 INR

                                        Sony also a phone that sells brand image.

                                        Just create any phone with bad software optimization and only 2 OS upgrades, slap SONY logo on it..
                                        and boom..it has 1000 USD price.

                                        Thats why your statement sounds stupid, and i am not even an iPhone user.
