There's such sense of relief on iOS that's hard to grasp from an Android perspective until you switch.

A phone that just works without workarounds or tinkering, getting timely updates, being able to get better accessories are just a few benefits that are worth the asking price.

    Samsung should not be in the picture, their horrible camera algorithm puts them below Apple and Google. I'm talking overall, disregarding zoom quality.

        It is still not using a real Periscope optic lens. And other than that, 15 Pro Max still uses the same Main and Ultra-Wide sensors from last years 14 Pro Max. Yet Apple twists words making it sound like such a upgrade, "larger camera" yet only camera housing/island got bigger, but not the actual camera/sensors itself.

          Anonymous, 17 Sep 2023There's no point in pushing for 25% increase year-year... moreIf they charge a premium and brag that they are using advanced nodes, people naturally/ obviously expect that the gains are high too. It was OK when they used to charge a sub 1000 dollars on their premium phone and still show some gains YOY. But it is not the case now. So people expect them to perform better. If not they have to decrease their prices.

            But not for All Types of Users, I won't explain much if you are educated about the Garden Walls of iOS.

            Apple iPhones with the iOS thing is a *DO or DON'T UNIVERSE

            Anyone seeking recommendation of Apple from me should be prepared to get an android along side. At least for proper experience of present day smartphones.

                The iphones are made for all types of users that's why prioritizing gamers is a bad idea.

                If Samsung is going back to Exynos for their flaghships, there's really no true competition in the Android realm. And that's coming after 13 years of using Android.

But I feel that even their other models in the 15 series are not worth the price they charge.

                              It's cool bcs it can play AAA games for the first time on a smartphone. I don't think if it can run smoothly but i do believe it will be very hot for thin body like that, imagine if it didn't come with console games it would be just a boring phone. Just big flex for a phone but it's not affordable, still prefer playing AAA games on handheld console (Ally, Deck, or Legion Go) than playing on this phone.

                                  I think of the design, the 15s are new and even not so interesting design. The team now designs a curved edge, the infused alumunium and the the brused titanium. Puting it into the case is not counted as most phones are treated in the same way.

                                  The design of camera island may not be changed too much, it is the same one indeed if we are looking them from a distance.
                                  Do not call me: Apple Fanboy, but the small change of the design (i.e the size, etc) can be said as the new design.

                                  Apple is always saying ....new, like never before, etc in their presentation because Apple always compare the ones with the previous ones, not with other brands.

                                    Also while running console games on mobile sounds cool on paper, it might actually be pretty lame to play on a 6 inches screen games designed to be played on a 60 inches one.

I know some people have referred the sharp edges as the signature of design or things like this, but IMHO, they are just fanboys that praise everything from their favourite brand.

So really nothing to brag about here."

                                        The new chip can run resident evil, console game! If that's nothing to brag about i don't know what is. Mobile gaming just took huge step forward after been stagnant for years.
