  1. Why no mention of the sync content bug. There is a page on the apple support site describing it. I won’t go into it here. I see no mention of it on all these so called review sites.

  2. kisluxbag notwithstanding, it is my firm belief that unless you are a practitioner, the variances in appearance or the metal parts of the sack will remain invisible to you.

  3. Two weeks ago, I had to replace my iPhone 12 Pro Max with the iPhone 15 Pro. Despite having large hands, the Max felt a bit too bulky, and I’m really enjoying the more compact size of the Pro. There are a few distinctions between them, but they wouldn’t make a significant difference for the typical user. I’m particularly fond of the Dynamic Island, the new side button referred to as the Action button, and the inclusion of a new USB-C charger.

  4. battery drain test starting from 100% is not professional. Everyone knows each individual battery doesn't have the same capacity. so the system treat it like 100%, in fact it could be 105%, 108% or 109%. the system always display it at 100%. thats why you all realised from 100%-99% drain takes a longer than 99%-98%.

    its better to test battery drain from 90%.

  5. Boy! Where do I start. I've been looking everywhere to send this story across to CNET but I couldn't get an address to do this. Here I am on YouTube hoping to rant less!
    I pre-ordered my 15 pro max on Sep 15th, got it on Oct 9th, I had already ordered a case for it which arrived just in time for the phone to be put in. My mistake here was that I did not carefully inspect the phone but 'trusting' Apple's QC, I just put my phone in the case. Until 2 weeks ago when I was taking my best friend's engagement with my glorious phone because he failed to get a proper DSLR/SLR camera for it. The phone got quite hot and I then decided to take my phone out of the case. It was quite tough to get out and silly me decided to stick my right index finger between the phone and case as a wedge and the mid to lower right edge of the phone gently cut my finger. I reported this to Apple a week after this (the next Saturday) due to my hectic weekly schedule hoping that I would get the device replaced. After 4 hours of back-and-forth call transfers, speaking to different "Senior Advisors" in Technical, Apple Care, Customer care, After Sales and Engineering, this matter has still not been solved. Engineering even came back on the matter that they want to "capture" the device and analyse it, therefore, I must send the device to them without a direct replacement at any point. Which will render me phone-less and expect me to sort that out (of course, I'm an idiot for using my finger as a wedge to get the phone to cool), Later, I was then transferred to Apple Care to start an Apple Care+ plan IF I would like to have an "Advance replacement" which simply means they will ship me a service replacement unit and I will send this in, I PRE-ORDERED A NEW PHONE and not a "Service Replacement Phone" at a cost of £8.99/month. All I want is a simple replacement without making any public rant but Apple does not want to come forward and provide me a reasonable replacement. Since Apple isn't ready to own up to this issue, I have now decided to spread the wonderful news about the phone's safety issues. Someone f*cked up and no one at Apple wants own up to this.

  6. makes no sense when the pro max have 20% more battery then the iphone 15 pro of course it have more Gain. But on the Real paper it have less then all the iphones 😉 just to clearify for CNET! I love my iphon 15 pro max and im suprised about the graphics from RE Village. Using my Baby Phone Picture in Picture mod while playing using not so mutch battery, my old iphone 12 just hold both application for maybe 2 hours before i need to recharge. I use my Phone a lot and need to recharge the battery every second day, for my use its insane how long my battery hold on the Pro Max.

  7. Coming from 12PM, I’m in love with this phone. The cameras are excellent. I can finally take decent night shots now lol I never experienced any issues so all in all it’s been a great upgrade for myself. Plus- usb c life, finally.

  8. I'm running the newest software and my iPhone 15 pro max still gets hot after two week. I don't have instagram. If I take like 10 pictures the phone gets pretty hot.

  9. Jesus is God & He loves you

    Jesus will soon be seen by all men, women, and children in the clouds. Jesus is returning now! Believe and be saved.

    Exodus 3:14 (God speaking)

    And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

    John 8:58 (Jesus speaking)

    Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

    John 10:30 (Jesus speaking)

    I and my Father are one.

    Isaiah 9:6

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    Matthew 1:23

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

    John 1:1 & 14

    1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    14 And the Word was made flesh (Lord Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    John 8:24 (Jesus speaking)

    I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

    John 14:9 (Jesus speaking)

    Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

    Hebrews 1:1-3, & 8 (God calls His Son "O God" because Jesus IS God in the flesh)

    1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

    2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

    3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

    8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    1 John 5:7

    For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

    Titus 2:13

    Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

    Revelation 1:7

    Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    Isaiah 44:6 (God speaking)

    Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

    Revelation 1:8 (Jesus speaking)

    I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

    Revelation 22:13 (Jesus speaking)

    I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved

    Romans 3:10 & 23

    10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

    23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking)

    31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

    32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

    1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”)

    For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

    Romans 10:9

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Acts 4:12

    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    Ephesians 2:8-9

    8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.

  10. I have the 15 Pro with a black fine woven case. The hype on those cases is way over blown. They aren't as nice as the leather but they will do what they are supposed to do. Protect your phone

  11. That charging test was useless as, AFAIK, iPhones slow down charging below 20% and above 80% even if you’re using a big powerful adapter, simply to try and protect the battery, which is more easily damaged by fast charging below 20% and above 80%. You needed to have tried each phone at exactly 20%, or from fully flat. It’s the only way to compare fairly.
