I was gifted an iPhone 15 Pro, delivered yesterday morning, by yesterday evening it was being sent back (Network couldn’t sort out my contract).

But during this time I got to play with it, I was upgrading for an iPhone 11 (normal, not pro) and was so excited for the huge difference, but I just didn’t feel it?!

Do you feel you’ve had a big difference from your previous upgrade? I took the same photo on my 11 and 15th and unless you zoomed in, you couldn’t really see the difference. The sound quality on the 15pro I could hear every breath when recording and I also felt like white colours were ‘too strong’ on the screen making videos/photos feel fake on the 15 pro compared to read on the 11. Are you noticing any of these? Did I just not get to play long enough?

Upgrading from 7 to 11 felt HUGE and I was expecting that again, especially with this being a Pro model.

      I’m going to turn on my own kind here (that’s a joke, I don’t have brand loyalty), and reveal that Android offerings are no longer far off from this.

      The only exceptions I can think of are the folding phones, which are actually a pretty cool innovation (albeit somewhat niche still.)

    I went from iPhone SE 2020 to iPhone 14 pro last year and could not feel the difference until I switched back to SE 2020 and was ‘Damn, was it always that bad?’

    I went from the 7S to the 11 Pro to the 14 Pro Max. And honestly it’s the same exact phone just a little bigger. I don’t do anything differently now than when I had my 7s.

    They are functionally the same.

    This would be a benefit and I would be happy if I believed you. Unfortunately I don’t. Ever since the 12 they’ve ABSURDLY ramped up the post-processing in the photos. There’s no way the 11 looks like the 15 Pro.

    Take a photo with the subject against a bright background. I bet the 15 Pro “smart HDR” makes the subject look like a sticker on top of the photo.

    I upgraded from an XR to a 14 Pro and i felt the same. I was expecting a massive upgrade and i was disappointed. No new phone until 2030

    I upgraded from 11 PM to 15 PM honestly the only two things I noticed the most are the screen and the sound.

    I went from 7 to 11 pro max, left that on the roof of my car and drove off. Replaced it with 12 pro max. Waited til usbc came to iPhone, and upgraded to 15 pro max. The upgrade between each is astonishing to me every time.

    The smallest incremental difference being 11 pro to 12 pro. Just slightly larger cameras and square edges.

    I went from an 8 to a 12 mini, that was a decent leap for me, I will definitely give it another year

    When I went from 1 to 4 big difference. 4 to 6 another big difference. 6 to X yet another huge difference…but X to my current 13 pro was not a huge difference but certainly noticeable performance wise.
