Remy-, 16 Sep 2025On a base 15 currently, would it be worth upgrading in a 1-... moreI am on 15 PM and the phone is still plenty fast in 2025 for me. Battery health at 91% can still last until end of a workday with medium usage. I don't play games on it though so not sure if the 15's A17 can handle newer games like the A19 can.

        I was going to say it looks like a cheap Chinese phone but I know some of the cheaper Chinese bands have come a long way and don't want to insult them. It looks like an android from 10 years ago except with an island display.

            I realize how subjective this is going to be, but the new Pro does not look cool to me - it used to, now it looks bulky (cosmic orange even makes it look like a brick).

            The base iPhone got all the practical upgrades I need anyway, like a higher refresh rate and always-on display.

                The most pathetic thread of the year, apple in a nutshell

                  Anonymous, 15 Sep 2025no, they did not...Both Pro models are thicker this year with larger batteries.

                    "In a new post on X, Kuo said that preorder demand for the ‌iPhone 17‌ lineup has outpaced last year's iPhone 16 models. ‌iPhone 17‌, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max production for the third quarter of this year is approximately 25% higher than their predecessors last year, alongside stronger pre-order demand across all three models. The iPhone 17 Pro Max remains the most in-demand model; production is approximately 60% higher than that of the iPhone 16 Pro Max."

                    Let the haters hate!

                      All these talks about iphone air without even saying once that samsung did it first (and factually better) 9 months ago

                        "Android flagships have been using VCs for years"

                        2016, it was the Galaxy S7 which firstly brought the heat pipes, which later evolved into the larger vapour chambers. Apple stays true to being ~a decade late to bringing features popularised by Android phones to iPhones (with Apple fans famously maintaining the "it's always Android copying Apple" line).

                                    phone put into normal case of preferred design and suddenly no diff for back side looking and even color it not always visible.

                                    and crop from sensor middle not same as digital zoom. if sensor is able to deliver normal pictures from a crop it is for sure better than 200mp being useless without pixel binning

                                      Boring new phones. Apple phones have been consistently getting uglier.
