I’m coming from an 11 Pro. I’m disappointed in the camera. Many photos contain blurry spots around the center. And there’s something weird with taking photos at close range. I notice when I scan QR codes they often appear blurry on screen. And sometimes when I photograph a room, the macro mode will kick in.

I just want my snappy keyboard back it is very laggy still and also I want them to fix the Wi-Fi band issues

Another thing you can take into account is:it’s not the phone itself,it’s Yourself,as you get older,you might think differently like when you were a kid,being to the playground is a big thing ,and do you feel the same now?3gs -15pro,how many years?you think more logically and just admit it:YOU ARE GETTING OLD🤣

What’s the point of returning now? You’ve already paid for it and you’ll just be spending more unnecessary money. Just keep it and upgrade when you feel like you need to.

Well you had a 14 pro max… why did you update? It has only been one year they can not surprise you every year with huge improvements

The “wow” factor is behind us. Market is mature now. Keep your phone for 5 years and upgrade. And even then it’s probably not gonna be “wow” unless there is some major new thing coming. Improvements yeah, but I kinda doubt that it’s gonna be “wow”. My iPhone XS was released 5 years ago and although new phones are much better in all domains, I’m pretty sure that if I upgrade it’s not really gonna be a “wow” effect

Unless you’re an absolute camera nerd like me with smartphones the differences year to year for the past few years are more minute than ever. This year coming from the 14 Pro Max I can appreciate the more consistent HDR and overall camera processing and the 5x is a nice to have on the Max. It’s also the little things I like as you mention the lighter phone and some other niceties.

If it’s a tool for communication, get the 13/14. If it’s a whole experience for you, return it, and get the iPhone that helps you get that purchase high.

Hear me out I just think that you upgrade too much because of your upgrade every year you will get minor changes that maybe even don’t bother you that much and then you aren’t really getting the satisfaction with buying a new phone, but in my personal opinion, you could get a much bigger satisfaction if you wait a few years until you upgrade, because then there is enough tech that has been upgraded and itches that bothers you from your old phone, so you want to upgrade and don’t get this itch from your old phone anymore. It could be a cracked phone. It could be that you don’t like the form factor or the design and this will change over the years in my personal situation right now I have an iPhone SE two and I’m quite satisfied when I bought it but now after four years I want to upgrade to the 15 or 15 pro because the lifetime of my phone is almost dead. The battery isn’t that good anymore the screen is too small and so on and I think this itches will build up over the years if you just stop upgrading and wait for a few years and you will have a much bigger satisfaction. In my opinion I do this kind of all of my tech because I save a lot of money and also I’m very satisfied when I upgrade. The only bad thing when doing this is that you won’t always get the newest tech, but when you upgrade you will feel so fucking satisfied I’m telling you

I upgrade about every 5 years. I would probably keep the phone even longer if they‘d still support iOS updates longer, guess we gotta wait for the EU to solve that problem lmao

Ya theres kind of a levelling off and I wouldn’t upgrade anymore than every 2-3 years. Just only so much you can do with something of this form factor. If you don’t use camera with excitement or appreciate nuanced details in gaming; there’s only so much you can expect right? Beyond that how much time do we want to stare at glass right? We’re definitely in the shift to augmented reality and Tony stark kinda stuff between ai and what the goggles can to. The smartphone’s peak of importance is likely coming imminently.

A watched pot never boils. Annual upgrades don’t lend to experiencing the advancements iPhone has to offer. My experience, like others, was from an 11 Pro to a 15 Pro. To me it was a huge improvement simply because of going to 5G. That’s not to mention the improved screen refresh rate, better cameras and lighter feel in-hand. My opinion, it’s WAY better. Stick with what you’ve got and hang on to it long enough to appreciate the big change they may offer down the road. These things last longer than they used to!

I’m still with 12 pro. Because there is no need for me to upgrade. Phone works just fine, next month getting a battery replacement at Apple and will be using for another year or two. People these days buy stuff just to keep up with the trends and the same are you. You didn’t actually need to get the 15, you just went with the crowd and then complain it’s not good and now you want to downgrade? What the shit is that? You have the latest device and you want to downgrade so next year you can get excitement from getting new phone? Why don’t you keep the 15 and wait a few years and then get a new phone, voila- much exited.

I was going to give in and get the 15 pro max. From 12 pro max. But im just gonna wait and see how the 16 looks next year. If it seems worthy I may get it. If it’s just a reskin of 15 I’ll wait till 17 and so on. My 12pm still works just fine. 89% total battery too. Got it on release day so you’re def not alone. 15 seems lack luster. Cool we got an action button! Will I use it? Maybe lol

People who upgrade every year won’t see the benefits. You’re don’t need to upgrade every year, you choose to.

I went from the 11 to the 15 pro and I felt the difference instantly.
