Well, I work in IT and none of my purchases are because someone told me. I do my own research and have a high interest in IT as my hobby. I love new features and install them often on day one, but I’m not very interested in camera tho. Pro Features are definitely coming late to regular models, because Apple is pushing people to their pro phones.

The people you are describing most likely buy the regular 15 or 15 plus.

You on the other hand seem to be in the demographic of people who think they know stuff, because they watched someone else on youtube tell them the specs. Sadly, a lot of people I see on here are like this.

I wasn’t expecting crazy. I mainly upgraded for battery and a better screen. The screen is 10/10, but battery already feels like a reason to upgrade to a better phone.

I get that the smaller phone has worse battery, but it still has a bigger battery than my old one. I would at least expect it to be better at first.

This could probably be it. Just used to the same type of photo for years.

Guess I just expected to be blown away, as I was with my xs max.

I live in Sweden, so not a 3rd world country. I just bought it in store and not online.

Someone else here suggested the 15 PM if I wanted better battery, but I spent years regretting getting the xs max, due to it’s size.
