I always think when I get a new iPhone “Maybe I won’t need a case this time!” Then I buy a case…

Just ordered an Apple one thanks!

Thanks - just ordered a sports loop

I got a good quality HDMI 2.1 cable to replace the 2.0. My system has been completely stable since then.

12 - I had a 12PM and the camera was great

No, it doesn’t work like that. Doesn’t your car have any USB sockets to plug your phone in?

I’ve bought a lot of Apple products over the years - just got a 15PM. The only problem I’ve ever had was my watch got bricked by a software update. Apple replaced it within a few days.

I just traded my 12PM for a 15PM - the £395 trade in offered by Apple was too good to miss and the battery was basically done. Honestly, apart from the faster refresh rate (which I stopped noticing after a day or so), the experience is very similar. One thing though: iOS 17 definitely came with a performance hit - apps were a bit slower etc.

I’ve had some strange problems with the main x1 camera. I use it to photograph documents, which my old 12PM did well. Some of the pictures are very soft and blurry except in the centre, even with a tripod.

Get a decent HDMI 2.1 cable as well

I upgraded from the 12PM - a great phone and I got £395 from Apple. The 15PM is ok, but the main camera (x1) is terrible. Shots are blurry. I use my phone to copy a lot of documents - the text is poorly focused, with a grey ghost. In the centre it’s ok, but the edges (especially the left hand side on my phone) are terrible. So much worse than the 12. There are various threads on Reddit etc discussing it. Some say it’s a hardware issue, others say it’s a software issue. No one seems to have found a definite solution - some have gone to an Apple Store to be told there isn’t a problem. One person said a DFU restore resolved the problem- I just don’t have the heart to go through that atm. I did a full reset and have already gone through the tedium of setting the phone up again. And I don’t have my 12PM to make the setup fairly painless.
