Azu10157, 21 Apr 2024Maybe stop upgrading every bloody year. Christ. Why?
I like having the latest and greatest, and it doesn't cost me much since I do trade-ins. For example it cost me $300 to go from an S21+ to the S22Ultra, then only $100 to go to the S23, then $300 to go to the S23Ultra, and now $250 to go to the iPhone 15 Pro.

newflesh, 21 Apr 2024It looks and sounds like you're forced to buy a new ph... moreOf course no one is forcing me, I just like having the latest and greatest.
I've really tried using larger devices, all the way since the S8+, and I've always gone back go a smaller phone. Now I regret switching from an S23 to the S23 Ultra, but there was no going back once I did. The only way forward was the small S24, and while I was fine tolerating the same 1.55 camera, I'm not going to put up with 20% less battery and worse pictures than the same freakin' phone in a different country.

Simple issue with the 15 Pro was that it had 1 less major upgrade (periscope telephoto) than the 15 Pro Max while having the same price as its predecessor (the base 15 Pro Max with 256gb storage costs the same as the 14 Pro Max 256gb at launch). It just seems like the 15 Pro buyers were cheated. Apple could've upped the base storage of the 15 Pro to 256gb without increasing the price to make up for that.

Both OSes are not perfect. IOS run smoother on slower device(s) just because the OS is lighter. While android is quite bloated to accommodate various hardware and have extra layer. I expect thats on near future we can have linux or arm-windows based phones out of the box.

Seriously?
Each of these complaints is easily addressed:
- wait for the x.x.1 versions if you don’t want to be on the cutting edge
- who uses the Home Screen? If you have more than 12 apps, spotlight is the only useful way to access them
- see above
- Apple may not have perfect control over developers and UX but what are we comparing to? Android? Or are you comparing to BlackBerry?

But i received Harmony OS on my Xiaomi Pad 5 and i kinda started thinking they're on right track now with software.

Anonymous, 19 Apr 2024I was in the same situation when iPhone 13 Pro came out ... moreI'm not using anything beside social medias to be honest, never did multitask on any phone ever. I like simplicity and design of certain things android lacks off. I always wanted to try Apple and now i will, i probably won't switch to android ever again since i find iOS animations and few things better designed than any android out there which is more important to me than numbers or zillion things i never even use.

I've used Galaxy S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8+, S9, S9+, S10e, S21+, S22Ultra, S23, S23Ultra.
I tried, but just can't get along with giantic brick phones. Samsung decided to scam us with exynoss once more, so I had no other choice but to buy my first iPhone, and so I got an iPhone 15 pro.
It's basically the S24 with better cameras and much smoother animations. In turn I can't play with goodlock, or customize much of anything, but that' proving to be a blessing in disguise as well since I've wasted to much time tweaking my phones anyway. Overall a great phone to be honest. It has both pros and cons compared to an S24, but I'm definitely not going to tolerate subpar cameras and soc on a flagship anymore.

rizki1, 20 Apr 2024I just answered what he wanted, want something simpler and ... moreBad inequals simple. iPhone SE3 is not simple, it's terrible. Just because it has a home button does make it simpler but you're trading that away for the most garbage specs out there.
I really recommend the iPhone 13 Pro. 14 Pro is the same thing. 12 Pro has no 120hz and 5G kinda sucked on it

PureOS, 19 Apr 2024Stay on Android, believe me. I was on ios, and it was a cage.When I do get a better Android phone, say OP12R or when the Nubia Z60 Ultra has 8/256 config available, I will cancel my iCloud (I'm keeping Apple Music, Spotify is hell) and dip.
I really wanna try out the Nothing Phone (2a) but I heard the phone doesn not have the US 5G bands :(

I have the iPhone 15 pro max and I love it it doesn’t overheat like everyone else is saying I had it for 2 months and it’s working fine it’s nice to have a iPhone having 8gb of RAM instead of 6

reviewer didn't use a case, did he use protectors on the display and camera lenses?
He is right, iOS is a "quagmire of poor design decisions". eg : Assistive Touch sucks. Why couldn't iOS do it like Xiaomi's QuickBall, which is really useful the way it minimizes to the side of the display.
Why can't library do a simple thing like sorting photos properly like on android?
etc.
Great phone, but an extremely annoying OS.
