That synchronization between talking rythm and the music at 0:16 was something else

I just wanted to point out that the genshin graphs are most likely capped at 60fps, this is a game setting you can change to 120, and the difference between the pro models should be significant

My dad still has his iPhone 6s Plus that he uses every day for work, and the only reason he’s thinking of upgrading right now is because it doesn’t have some of the LTE band compatibility that makes service a bit better in the USA. It still works fine for what he bought it for. Apple doesn’t make the phone slow down to force you to buy a new one, they slow it down so you can still daily an iPhone for longer (so it CAN last for longer upgrade cycles.)

[JackStavris]

I upgraded to an iPhone 15 from the iPhone X and I’m fairly happy with it, although it’s not that much different. Just better in more subtle ways really, better performance, a battery that’s not worn out, and a better camera.

I use an 11 and still feel like there is another year left in it. I bought it 6 months after launch it is at %75 battery life. I need to charge it 2 times a day with +6.5 hours screen time and it still feels good. I enjoy using it.

[SWTOR-Spaz]

I just upgraded from my 12 to the 15 Plus. I had zero intentions of upgrading so soon given that the 12 was essentially future proofed with the updated design and MagSafe, but I was stupid when I got it and only went for the 64GB model. Upgrading from my 8 with 32GB back in 2020, I figured double the storage would be more than enough but I ended up being wrong as the storage was a constant worry for me this entire last year. 3 years between phones is far less than I'd prefer, but I'm really hopeful that this will finally be my 5-year phone given the USB-C and bigger screen.

[zukaro]

Personally I don't find it "stale" to keep the same design. I'd rather something which just gets refined and improved (and supported for a long time) rather than fundamentally changed for no good reason. I like that smartphones are finally reaching their peak. However, I'd like to see more effort put into wearable computers that could replace one's smartphone if one wished to do so (like, I really like the idea of having a bracer computer (basically just a big smartwatch, one that goes along the length of my arm) that replaces my phone, and can stream to a monitor and use a wireless mouse and keyboard so that it can also replace my desktop for certain tasks).

[soviut]

Good to see some coverage of the origins of the lightning connector and Apple's "10 year lifespan" they appointed to the it. A lot of people seem to have a memory hole when it comes to how annoying the USB connector landscape was at the time with mini, micro and micro-b all being used at once with none of them being the standard.

Your videos are just a joy to watch. Love the thoughtfulness in the scripting and flow.

[TellyMan]

8:31, im one of those people who wait over 5 years for phones. rocking an iphone12 and might wait till 16 to upgrade.

[TheLemon]

I think you’ll like the 15 Pro. It is not only noticeably lighter, but it seems nearly perfectly balanced. The 15 Pro is balanced in such a way that whatever side of the phone is facing down pulls it down. When it’s in your hand it pulls straight down into your hand, not like the 14 Pro which felt like someone tied a string to the top of the phone and tried to yank it out of your hands every once in a while.

I upgraded my iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it is the best decision I ever made.

For me, the actual reason for upgrading to the newer iPhone is USB-C since my devices (including my Android phone) use USB-C and I don’t want to carry another cable for charging my devices.

Having USB-C is a game changer for me, and it is a fastest decision to switch to the newer iPhone than before.

And, I have to say, it is one of the best iPhone experiences I have ever experienced, except, of course, the 3D Touch.

[sansebo]

Nooo, I already noticed a similar false statement from MKBHD. Cropping into the picture before taking the picture does make a difference. First it adjusts its algorithm more precisely to the more narrow scene and chooses different lightning parameters, for example when written text on a more away wall is photographed, then its noticeably sharper zoomed, than cropped after. Also the resolution is artificially scaled to the default resolution. Of course this was not always the same, coming from an 7 to a 14, I only notice this from the 14 doing all that with the computational photography, giving me 12MP images no matter how far I've zoomed in before taking the picture.
Please consider this topic for further investigation in different conditions and scenes, could be an interesting video.

I used my last iPhone (regular 12) for 3 years and upgraded to the 15plus because I now use it for work far more and am not always near a charger and can’t carry a bank in my job - the battery life is my reason for upgrading and I hope to get at least another 3 out of it, hopefully longer!

[computerpwn]

i upgraded from the 8 to the 15. i was going to get the 12 or 13 mini but then the rumors of usb-c made me wait all this time, definitely worth it imo.

[Ironhide]

8:12 Damn he predicted the iPhone 16 neutral colours

[theftking]

Tbh my 13 Pro still crushes and I don't plan to upgrade until the 17.

[deconnecte]

8:36 I had an iphone 8 so… yes what an upgrade ! The thing that I love the most is the design, rounded edges, matte finish, makes the phone very satisfying to hold.

[albyx]

FINALLY 7:33 a video where we talk about not taking advantage of the luxuries that Pro models offer. If my 14 Pro Max wasn't exactly a regular 15, that's what I would have gone with simply because it's lighter and the regular iPhone is feature rich.

[FalconSpirit]

Upgraded from the 8 Plus to the 15 Pro. Wanted features like precision tracking, sharing Airtags, and the face scan tech for certain apps I need to use. I found standby mode and the improved camera a great bonus.
