I was gifted an iPhone 15 Pro, delivered yesterday morning, by yesterday evening it was being sent back (Network couldn’t sort out my contract).
But during this time I got to play with it, I was upgrading for an iPhone 11 (normal, not pro) and was so excited for the huge difference, but I just didn’t feel it?!
Do you feel you’ve had a big difference from your previous upgrade? I took the same photo on my 11 and 15th and unless you zoomed in, you couldn’t really see the difference. The sound quality on the 15pro I could hear every breath when recording and I also felt like white colours were ‘too strong’ on the screen making videos/photos feel fake on the 15 pro compared to read on the 11. Are you noticing any of these? Did I just not get to play long enough?
Upgrading from 7 to 11 felt HUGE and I was expecting that again, especially with this being a Pro model.
The average user doesn’t care about OLED, 120hz, or a brighter display as long as it works. I personally would never care about 5G because it’s the same thing as 4g just slightly faster In select areas and less reliable. The camera is good enough that nobody would care. Action button is so high up that it’s useless. USB-C can actually be negative for an average user, only a small percent of those users are using usb-c accessories.
Maybe they doesn’t care for the display but the difference is night and day after a couple of days using it. If you go back to the regular display everything feels slow

Do I really have to explain how this is dual sided?

Since I’ve been downvoted, I guess I’ll have to.
Our brain has been proven to change the way we perceive things. This is common knowledge. In case you need proof, just look up the effects of optical illusions and how they work. Maybe watch a few.
The human eye shows us the world around us in about 24hz. This is why movies are mostly filmed in 24fps. The brain can change how we perceive that though. Clearly it can. Because are set to 24hz, yet we can see 60, 120, and with the new Samsung wall tv, 2000hz, this proves something is underlying. However, when you watch a movie, it is typically difficult to see individual frames.
The gamers in this sub would have thought they plucked me apart by now. Games don’t run at 24fps, and usually when it falls below a certain threshold, we can see this and interpret it as “lagging”. This is because unlike a movie, where you are relaxed, and not making and quick decisions, (unlike a game), your brain automatically shifts to see things in the correct order, either to preserve energy, or other things which I do not know.
In a game, adrenaline is rushing, your senses are heightened, you are thinking quicker, but less intelligent, and you make choices faster. In a game, you will notice the “lag” much more because your brain has made your eyes more sensitive to the shift in HZ.
Now your question is, what does this have to do with the screen on a phone? Well, when a user switches from a 60hz phone to a 120hz phone, they will temporarily see a difference. Ultimately, that users brain will adjust the eyes to match the display. And vice versa. When a 120hz user returns to 60hz, they will temporarily see a decrease in performance (artificially). This makes the phone seem like it is “lagging”, as stated by other users in this thread; “If you go back to the regular display everything feels slow”. (Posted by u/M4NU3L2311).
Anyway, I digress. Any further objections will be addressed in this comment as an edit.
Everything but the Apple ecosystem is on usb c now what are you on
True, but how many average users have the latest and greatest newest generation with USB-C? Most users still have lighting, if not excluding a MacBook, which most people also, don’t have.
I own like seven devices that use USB-C and ONE that uses lightning. I am so excited to put every lightning cable into a drawer and never look at them again.
