I finally upgraded. iPhone 15 Pro.

After using my iPhone 11 for a solid 4 years, I finally pulled the trigger on the newest release. Was it worth it?

quick correction - ProRes is on some earlier iPhones but the 15 Pro is the first to introduce AppleLOG

Super refreshing to see a phone review done by somebody who doesn’t upgrade every year!

[gordonfreeman]

You have no idea how I appreciate the cleanness of scenarios in your videos. No “thank you for watching, subscribe, turn on notifi-“ trash. Quality of your work speaks for itself. The channel is a gem in my subscriptions.

Went from the XR to the 15 Pro just recently. I agree that it was just the accumulation of upgrades and not just one single thing.

Optimum cinematic universe is getting crazy. Can't wait for the day when this channel becomes my one and only tech channel

Car guy, Great PC Builder, Works out and a honest reviewer that doesn't get bribed by sponsors, what a guy Optimum Tech is.

I’m in the same boat as you, got myself an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’m happy to keep it another 2 or so years. Especially with how slowly features are being added compared to the early models, there really isn’t a reason to upgrade any sooner than that.

I upgraded to that model for the refresh rate, and really nothing else will give me a reason to upgrade anytime soon

always enjoy the perspective of someone who doesn’t upgrade year over year. i hope to get 4 years on my 14 Pro if i can

[mistymouse]

Me too. I just upgraded from the 11 pro to the 15 pro. I appreciate the larger brighter screen, the always on display, and the better camera, particularly the 3x zoom

[Soviet_Kitty]

I went from a 7 to a 15 pro, definitely finally time to upgrade. Besides the camera, screen, refresh rate, etc, the USBC was just too much to ignore or delay any longer.

why are his shots more cleaner than the official Apple comercial??

[MalcolmREBORN]

This video was so inspiring. I will be going away from updating my tech devices so frequently. They are just tools that help us communicate, entertain, and get things done. What he didn't mention is the amount of money he saved up along the way. Great job partner!

coolest tech channel on youtube period

I love how you go straight to the point while also not forgetting important details, it's really refreshing
I'm also thinking of going from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 15 pro like you (or pro max) and seeing what someone in the same boat as me thinks about upgrading to this phone is a big plus considering how every other tech channel updates every year to the newest iPhone which is not relatable at all and barely helpful to most people

You're really going to appreciate the USB-C port when you're offloading your video footage off the phone. Massive difference from lightning and actually encourages you to use the iPhone camera because it's not painful to get the data off. ProRes is just gravy. Now that you have MagSafe, you can pick up a bedside MagSafe charger too. Not required but a nice addition. I did the same 11 to 15 Pro upgrade myself and was a bunch of little things that made it worthwhile.

Hands down the greatest production quality in the entire YouTube tech fraternity.

Only found your channel a couple of months ago, but the super high-quality visuals and really interesting topics have kept me coming back for every upload. Great content and great job - keep it up! 👌

[Wiisporter]

Optimum is so real for having the absolute latest pc but a relatively old phone

[yourlocalhuman]

Never expected a phone review from you

Went from 12 mini to 15 Pro on launch day, I thought I'd miss the compact feeling of 12 mini but 15 Pro Titanium Frame and lighter feeling while actually a lot bigger in display size is amazing. Glad I upgraded this year. No more charging twice a day anymore.
