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.
I went through a few phones this year. I got into some money after selling my nasa pc, I didn’t care at all about upgrading phones ever since the 6s but it got dated and well. You know… So I got the 7 and loved it but it didn’t no updates anymore, then the 8 and iPhone X. Also got dropped this year. I also got to play around with the 11 from my girlfriend but didn’t really feel the need to get one. So I got the 12 mini and hated the battery life but loved the form factor, still battery life is the deciding one so I ended up returning it to the store and got the 12. Now I really don’t feel the need to keep going but next month I’ll get the 13 pro max and stop there.
To start with, each gen had its own perks but I have to say that I didn’t feel anything better from the 6s to 8. They all look the same.
The X was a game changer. I loved the OLED display and well it was a lot faster than the 6s I had in the beginning of the year. There were some real improvements in that phone but for today standards it too was dated. The camera was the biggest improvement along with the processor . The battery wasn’t really good but the phone it self was a lot better.
The iPhone 11 I didn’t really get because of the LCD screen. Nice phone though, I know you can get oled panell for the 11 on Ali.
The 12 mini, what a mess of a phone… jeezus, it overheats, battery is crappier than the 6s even though it bigger but cameras are nice.
The 12, now that’s a New phone! The battery lasts all day, the A14 is blazing fast and can play any game out there maxed out at 60 or near 60fps. The cameras are the same as the mini so, nice cameras. I love the iPhone 5ish design. Bezels are very thin. The notch doesn’t really bother me.
Conclusion, from 6s to 8? Nothing, maybe when the 7 and 8 launched back then, they probably were a lot faster and reliable but now, they are the same phone. The X came with a big bump in speed and cameras, the new design. Great and solid phone. Jumping straight From X to the 12- YES a massive difference and a huge improvement! I’ll check the 13 pro out and stop there until the 17 or 18 is out if I don’t wait till the 20.
