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.

    “professional workflows”?

    Like what? Which professional? A photographer and/or videographer is going to have a professional, stand-alone camera (or cameras).

    Let’s break down what this really is, using Apple’s own comparison tool: https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-15,iphone-15-pro

    1. The Pro has 120hz, which is what every single cheaper android phone already has. It is not a pro feature in any way, shape, or form. It’s just a standard one for today’s market.

    2. the Pro has, an always-on display. Again, see above. This is standard for most phones.

    3. The Pro has a faster processor. This is a 10% speed boost, at best. Maybe that’s worth it, but honestly, no it almost certainly isn’t…

    4. You get a software 3x zoom option with the Pro. This isn’t due to the hardware, it’s just a limit Apple created to sell you the pro model.

    5. You get USB 3 speeds on the pro model. It’s outrageous that the non-pro doesn’t get this. Even the cheapest Android phones have had this for years.

    Tl;dr: If you absolutely must have an iPhone, then the pro isn’t a bad choice if you want a zippy screen with snappy response time, and a fast way to offload hundreds of large files. If you’re brand agnostic, then don’t buy either of these. They are both grossly overpriced for what you’re getting.
