  2. My not so little Apple rant.

    I am fed up with the usual Youtube shills (on Apple’s and others … reviewer freebies list … to avoid the term ‘payroll’). Not many of you (none …) mention the washed out on-screen colours of the 15 Pro/Max. I just came from a long line of Samsung phones, lately the S22 (non Ultra or + … the plain vanilla Galaxy S22) and there is simply no comparison! Samsung gives you the option of adjusting colour temperature and other nice things such as a ‘vivid’ and ‘natural’ setting with individual RGB sliders. Simply put, you can make the display look just as you want. Apple is offering … zilch! ‘True tone’ does not solve the issue neither do any of the, honestly, pretty useless settings in the Accessibility section such as ‘increase contrast’ or playing around with the horrid ‘colour filter’ options.

    There is some garbage talk online that the latest ios update affected screen vividness or something to that garbage effect. B**** … it’s just a lacklustre display.

    Another biggie, whilst I’m on it about the display. The 15 pro touts something like 1000 nits to 2000 nits peak brightness. What exactly the conditions have to be to achieve this … no f*** idea. Apple’s marketing department obviously had a wild time to come with this shit but let me tell you one thing; The lowly, almost forgotten (even at launch) Galaxy S22 … IS BRIGHTER AND MORE VIVID IN ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS, be that outdoors or indoors. Believe me, I tried every possible setting on the 15 Pro … it doesn’t come close to the peak brightness of the S22. What a lot of b**** from Apple!

    Anyone thinking I am just a Samsung/Android fanboy … I am getting there! I changed to 15 Pro because I bought a MacBook Pro M2 last year. I like the MacBook A LOT but I am starting to REALLY disliking the 15 Pro.

    Then there is the issue of the hollow/plasticky sounding screen when tapping it. Samsung back their OLED’s with a metal plate. It means when you tap the screen it feels like solid glass not like a piece of plastic. Apple apparently attach the screen surround only and the OLED panel rests on the battery, hence the awful noise it makes when touching. Anyone saying this is not the case … tap from the edges inward and see what happens. – Really Apple?! Get your design folks sacked and try and snatch some from others, Samsung included!

    Battery life is … meh but that has, for a change, been accurately documented. Mostly, I assume, to re-direct folks to the more expensive MAX. – Problem is, Apple, in their infinite wisdom (!) have crippled the Max version by introducing that stupid 5x zoom. Most people shoot probably far more within the 3x zoom area. If you look at photos from the 15 Pro Max you soon realize that a large range of the zoom range below 5x is actually digitally done by the camera resulting in clearly inferior quality. This eats also into the 3x zoom and some way below! Now look and compare the 15 Pro (non Max) photos digitally extended to 5x and the compromise is far less, almost equalling the Pro Max’s 5 times zoom quality! Any more than that and things start to fall apart quickly but really, who actually shoots 5x and more to take quality pictures with a phone? If you do … get a proper camera or, if you really must a Samsung S24 Ultra though that one is just one huge, ugly brick … . Still, the usual suspects (youtube shills) of course love that one too (in order to stay on the phone manufacturers reviewer list).

    Which leaves me with the one and only redeeming feature of the 15 Pro that makes it stand out … the camera. Better than the MAX version, better probably than most Samsung’s including the new ones. It really is a great piece of technology (the camera, not the phone!).

    How a company like Apple can release such a flawed, under featured turd of a flag ship phone for top dollars is beyond me, especially as the make the lovely MacBook Pro’s. They seem to have truly lost it.

    I am within the 14 day return policy whilst writing this and think another Samsung (the non-Ultra … Plus or plain vanilla S24) is close.

    Enjoy

  3. After having the iPhone 12 Pro Max for 3 1/2 years I think I will wait for the iPhone 16 Pro since Fall 2024 its not that far knowing how time flies by! But probably getting the iPhone 16 Pro and Not Pro Max since I did get tired of holding a really big phone in my hand. So I will be ready for the iPhone 16 Pro in Fall 2024

  5. if only apple change the design they gonna sell 10x for sure cause its been a long time since that design till now have not changed. i might buy 1 again for sure my first and last iphone is 6s.

  8. Ok guys I’m so exited I’m 11 I’m gonna get a phone at the end of the year if I have all a’s and Bo’s on august my birthday my mom said I have to have all a and b and I get her old iPhone witch is iPhone 13 yayyyy I hope I get good grades

  15. Dear
    I AM FROM BANGLADESH 🇧🇩
    it's my humble request as a fan or as a customer
    I think so many people agree with me
    * I'm looking for a small, compact phone with a 5.9" 6.1 size Amoled 144 Hz display
    * An ideal phone would be easy to use one-handed and comfortable to carry in my pocket.
    * I would be willing to sacrifice some features, such as a large battery or the latest processor, for a smaller form factor.
    * Here are some additional features that would be important to me (e.g., long battery life, good camera, expandable storage).
    You can customize this template to fit your specific needs and preferences.

    Love from BANGLADESH 🇧🇩

  22. Avoiding iCloud storage is not solely tied to how much photos, videos you can store locally on phone but how much you can “upload to Cloud” in case of mishap like phone stolen etc.

    I prefer to pay monthly on 2tb family sharing iCloud subs instead risking my photo and video memories along with iMesaage backups..

  26. Guys I’m on a XS right now, would you wait and see if it gets ios18 / just hop on a 15 pro now / wait for 16 pro? I try to use my phones 5-6 years depending on updates, I don’t upgrade regularly

  29. From the rumors around, I will probably wait for the 17s. My 14promax still rocks though I plan to downsize to the smaller pro model on my next upgrade. The 16pro will get a bigger display but only just a 3350mah battery. I want it to be atleast 3500mah or higher.

  30. My iPhone 14 is severely broken and getting it serviced to replace the back, frame and screen costs just 100 bucks less than the 128GB 15 Pro, considering getting the blue titanium, would be a HUGE upgrade from an iPhone 7 32GB 😭

  32. all these things are temporary. we need to get out of this race of wanting the shiniest new toy and open our eyes to things that actually have value. dont scratch your head too much on what iphone to buy. if you have the money get the 15 pro. we gotta shift our focus from all that is temporary and look at what is eternal. Jesus loves you and died on the cross for our sake. accept him into your life and he will fill the emptiness in you. he will replace what is temporary with what is eternal. our time on earth is short. focus on securing your treasures in heaven

  33. If you want to go current gen., then the iphone 15 plus is the get to go device…. period. The 16 base models will be a dissapointment given that this years base models stole the show. They will even decrease the battery on the Plus model plus they will put a binned version of the A18. The Pro Max Model will be a better buy in case of high end specs ( 4600mah battery with thermal insulator, evaporation chamber like alternative, new 1.14nm lens ). In terms of AI dont expect from Apple to be a gamechanger as they are already in co-op with Google which means they will lag behind. Their narrated AI feautures will be neat at the presentation but i wouldnt have high expectations in daily life. To sum up, if you want to get an iphone now get the 15 Plus, if you want to get a Pro model then wait another 6 months.

  35. I have the 14 pro max and charge it to 100% every time it needs a charge and my battery health is 100%
    I think fast charging hurts the battery more so than charging to full as well as a few other factors.

  43. i just bought the 15 pro max last week.. i have no regrets even if the 16 came out after 5 or 6 months.. i am not upgrading regularly… i must tell.. the 15 is really good… i would use this phone for the next 5 years
