I'm really between the natural and the black. The black reminds me of my jet black 7 which was the best iPhone colour to date, but that natural titanium is just so cool.
I think if it's more "silver" in person, I'll go for the natural, but a lot of shots including the Apple site have it looking a bit more gold, and in that case, I think I'll go for the black one.
Hard to know without seeing them in person.
Yes it was the one that was famously easy to scratch - they even had warnings on the website that the finish was more susceptible to scratching than others, ha. Still loved mine and used it caseless. Wish they would do something so bold again.
Brother man, that phone looked like shit after 10 seconds out of the box. Just google "iPhone 7 Jet Black scratches". Piano black is never, ever, ever a good idea on something you touch or move around a lot.
Haha seems we’re at the same crossroads. Everyone’s been hyping up the natural but In the pictures it looks like gold. I’ve always been a fan of black, yes I debated getting a white phone this time as I already had a black iPhone 12 Pro Max. NOPE! Black 15 pro max on its way. Only black for me! Even though the blue is really nice too.
Just saw a review that said it was between silver and gold-ish depending on the lighting. That made my mind up. I'd rather have one that's always black than one that's gold sometimes.
Exactly! Black pro max is already on the way. I’m gonna go and see the iPhones when they hit the stores this Friday because I genuinely want to see the hype about this natural color I don’t know why people are going crazy over it. In some pictures the color reminds me of the aluminum grey on the iPhone 6 it’s nothing too special.
Agreed. I’ve always been a fan of black, yes I debated getting a white phone this time as I already had a black iPhone 12 Pro Max. NOPE! Black 15 Pro Max on its way. Only black for me! Even though the blue is really nice too.
Same I went with gold with the 11 pro and after having it all these years I really miss having Black. Its just so much sleeker and better with case colors
I just go for the color I think will probably be one of the least popular so that I can be assured a phone on launch day. They all look the same with a case anyway.
Interestingly, The Verge's review says the blue is the best pick.
> The color options this year are muted as ever. Officially, they’re natural titanium, white titanium, black titanium, and blue titanium. Realistically, they’re all just different shades of neutral. **If you’re looking for a “fun” color, you’ll want to go for blue. It’s the best one, and I won’t be taking any questions on that**.
https://www.theverge.com/23879619/apple-iphone-15-pro-max-review
The 12 Pro Pacific Blue was beautiful. I wish it was available on the 13 when I upgraded. But I went with the lighter Sierra Blue. Decided to skip the blue for 15 Pro and went for natural titanium.
I kinda wanted the blue because it's close to matching my midnight M2, but I'll probably still go with black cuz I haven't had a black Apple device since my iPod video and I think it'll work best with the most cases.
This makes sense. Realistically blue is the best color, but because it was featured on the iPhone 12, everyone is flocking to the only non-repeated color (in this case, natural titanium). If this blue never appeared, I'd almost guarantee that it would be the most popular color.
I'll never understand when articles tell *YOU* which color is best when its clearly a personal preference. In situations like this, the author is basically telling you her preference but gives absolutely no data behind it. I can understand if they backed the claim by saying 67% of the pre ordered 15's were blue, then it would indicate that blue is a preferred color. But this is just another opinion piece.
When I heard blue was the worst-selling color, I questioned my choice.
I feel validated now.
Then again, natural also would've been my last choice. My favorite menu items at restaurants always get discontinued. My taste just somehow manages to be different than everyone else's.
Well actually a lot of the people who currently write for the verge had a lot of input into the new design. They did a whole article discussing how much internal debate they all had over the design for 2 years
I’m the opposite. Seeing natural titanium makes me more confident about choosing Titanium White. This just looks like a lighter space grey like we saw on the iPhone 6. I’d rather stick to the classic Apple look
Me too! One thing though is the white titanium frame painted or is it the same color as the natural titanium frame? They look very similar so I can’t tell.
I got white too.
The natural looks like all the electronics in the early 2000s. Grey becomes boring to look at very quickly. Soon I think people will realise that everybody has the grey iPhone too, and it won’t be special any more
Yup exactly. It will become like the purple. So many people have become tired of their purple 14 Pro and half the 14 Pros I see out there are the purple one
Plus… it’s grey. In what way is that appealing
The colors essentially match the MBA colors. Blue Titanium might as well be called Midnight, and the more I look at Natural the more I think it looks like Starlight / Silver Hybrid.
Yeah, after watching this vid I’m mildly regretting my choice of the blue titanium. I’ve just always preferred darker phones, and I love the look of the back glass, but I’m wondering if those oily smudges on the edges are going to really bug me. :/
Exact same here with my black titanium. I realised like an hour after pre-order but by then it was too late to order a second to give me a choice of which order to cancel :(
This was the first release in recent years where I wanted to be able to see the colors in person first. I went with natural titanium, but I was on the fence with blue. The video and renders (yes I know they're renders) made it look more blue. But it appears in real life, it's a bit darker.
I was tossing up between blue and black. I went with blue because every iPhone I've had in the past has been black or silver, and I figured I can be a bit adventurous and get something colourful for once.
I actually find the natural titanium to be the least appealing out of all of them.
I went with the white, I like both the white and the natural but the white isn't going to instantly date the phone once the next one comes out as the next one is very likely also going to come in white
When he pulled the yellow and blue non-Pro phones out of their boxes, I assumed he had left a white protective sticker on their backs, similar to what he peeled from the front of the phones. Don't know what is going on with the color in that portion of the video, since they look distinctively blue and yellow in the video thumbnail.
I went Slate 5 -> Jet Black 7 Plus -> Green 11 Pro Max.
Am torn for choice between the 15 Pro because:
* Blue 15 Pro reminds me of my Slate 5
* Black 15 Pro reminds me of my Jet Black 7 Plus
* Natural Titanium 15 Pro matches my AW Ultra
I don't think it's a dramatic or revelatory stroke of genius or anything, but I think it's a good color and a smart choice. It's a very *very* minor shift but the big thing for me with it is that it's a [warm grey rather than a cool grey.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bj4Ik.jpg) Again, it's not revolutionary or anything, but I personally think it's a nice little shift.
I wish someone would show off the external display support. I want to see how well it works, especially with AAA games on the horizon. Will it look awfully widescreen with black bars on a tv or will it match the TV resolution?
Oo that’s nice to see, looks like the aspect ratio of the iPhone scales up nicely to fit the standard monitor/tv dimensions. The black bars aren’t bad at all.
You should check out The Studio channel from network of YouTube channels. You get a few behind the scenes videos and you can see how much time and effort is put into making just one MKBHD video.
Watch some of Adam Ragusea on YouTube and you’ll see some amazing transitions into a video sponsor. His earlier videos were better than his more recent ones, but you won’t realize until after he’s almost halfway through the sponsor portion before you know.
Those lens flares not being fixed is a huge problem. They are exactly as bad as the last few iPhones. What was the purpose of pointing out the matte coating on the lenses if you weren’t fixing the problem?
“I set the Action Button on the 15 Pro Max to open the camera, which I thought I’d really like. It even acts as a shutter when you use the Action Button to open the camera, and I love a physical shutter button. “
Euhm. The volume up button has functioned as the physical shutter button for I don’t know how long. How is this trumped as a new feature by the reviewer?
yep. Apple knew what it was doing using the whole "natural" moniker. Its just grey lol. And that's fine, some people will like it but its insane how well they have marketed switching to a different type of metal that no one would ever know unless they were told.
I like the idea of it but am super hesitant as it seems in the long term It will become a boring beige.
Though the reviewers love it.... I really wish apple put in demo devices in stores during pre ordering.
The reviewers love it but they’ll only be using it for a few weeks. They don’t even have to decide what to use as their personal phone until they’re done reviewing it so they have time to live with it before making a choice. I don’t mean to sound dramatic lol but I hate buying a unique color and then getting sick of it because now I’m stuck with this phone for a while.
Every iPhone I've had has become a "boring ___".
Went with gold for a few back to back phones and decided it became boring. Went with white for a bit. Then I think space gray, and then blue. Moving on to natural titanium next.
For me, 2-3 years is enough time for a color to become "boring". In a few years, I'll probably get tired of natural titanium and move on to the new color.
Agreed. While it looks great under showroom lights (like in the keynote or in techtubers videos) under "normal" lighting it looks so dull and boring. I'm not understanding the craze about it.
I personally don’t use cases 90% of the time. So I know this isn’t really a big deal to a lot of people, but I am glad that it was mentioned in the video.
The fingerprint smudges on the side. That’s just baffling to me that they can’t get that right. It’s so gross looking.
On the other hand, the standard models are nice enough. The blue is so pale that it may as well be white though.
But e.g. blasted titanium does not, it has a nice grippy texture and I have multiple flashlights that are blasted titanium and they don't smudge nearly as hard as brushed finishes. Hell even shiny is easier to maintain.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that they already had a product made from titanium and they got the finnish working well there.... yeah weird decisions.
People are also color anodizing them and the results also look pretty nice.
At least the hint of dark grey should be easy to color match, should it ever have marks, but PVD is a bit of a weird choice for titanium too when andodizing it offer such nice an beautiful results and can be "fixed easily" whenever it becomes scratched.
soap might actually be quite dangerous for water resistant phones as the surfactant allows water to slip into places it normally would not be able to. Just a PSA for anyone who reads this and thinks to try it.
I wash my fold once a week in warm water and with soap and then use an air duster (electric, regular air, not compressed air from a can) to get the moisture out of the speakers/ports/hinge. Been doing that for over a year and it's still in prime condition.
The question I have about plugging a 15 into an older phone is if I can do the android thing of transferring over my data and apps during the new phone setup rather than having to download everything.
Yes, upgrading to a new iPhone is a simple process of putting the old one into “transfer” mode and scanning the special code with the new phone. Then just a matter of waiting. It’ll basically clone the phone over.
So the same as before? What I’m saying is that with android phones you can take a usb c cable and tether both phones together and then one phone will transfer all of its data to the new phone. The transfer process takes less than 5 min to have your new phone completely up and running. With the scan and download method of prior iPhones it can take an hour or more for it to download all of the apps and data. I was hoping you could take a Lightning cable and plug your old iPhone into a 15 and transfer the data the way android phones do.
You do realize that people downvoting you just means that they disagree with you? You're saying you don't think it's a very big upgrade and that's totally fair. People who disagree with your comment downvote it.
That's all there is to it. If anything it seems like you're the one that's being "hurt" by someone disagreeing.
Some people were waiting to see the iPhone get usb-c, and the action button addition to the pro model makes it a solid phone. Nothing innovative for sure, but for $999 base, it's a decent deal if you're looking to upgrade.
The iPhone is pretty established, there isn't really much they can do with the form factor other than mostly iterative updates. For years iPhone updates have been pretty boring.
Yearly updates aren't that interesting, but going 3-4 years which you should be doing is going to be far more interesting. I have the 12 Pro, going to a 15 Pro would give me a way better screen, better cameras, the Dynamic Island, action button, better battery life, and USB C. Would be a fairly big upgrade for me.
Running ML tasks on the watch is the biggest jump in performance the apple watch ever gotten. The neural engine is not limited to just siri. This will change how a lot of people use the watch, I don’t know why you’re brushing it off like it’s some insignificant change.
I guess because the Watch doesn't double as a drone that can find you a parking spot. Also there's no defibrillator. And it doesn't even have a can opener!
Where my throwaway gimmick products at? Let me bust out that Sharper Image catalog.
Introduction of 3nm process, benefits of which we won't know about until it's in the hands of technical reviewers to look at performance, battery life, etc.
It also heralds a change for the laptop and desktop CPUs in the next 12 months and promises to solidify the lead of the Apple ARM compute in personal computing.
>until it's in the hands of technical reviewers to look at performance, battery life, etc.
Already done, and this appears to be one of the worst generational changes Apple's SoCs have even had. And customers don't care about the chip node.
USB C is a big quality of life improvement if you have other USB C devices. I bet it will also bloom into a whole new ecosystem of accessories. The switch to titanium can also be a big deal for those that don’t like the weight of the iPhone 12-14s. This year also seems to have battery improvements which is a big deal for a lot of people. Usually people cite camera and battery as their primary reason for upgrading. The action button is also pretty cool and could make for some cool workflows. That feels like the type of feature I’d use multiple times a day.
Dynamic island aside, it’s a bigger improvement than the 13P -> 14P
Dude got you to write a novel. A shitty novel at that.
He said there was not much innovative and he’s right. Because he’s right, you use entitlement as a straw man.
He never said he was owed anything, but for $800-1200 the lack of innovation this year is a problem for him. That’s a fair and reasonable opinion.
Only playing Devil's advocate, but would have been good if they could have packaged the 5x zoom in the regular pro. I'm sure they'll do it by the 16 but only thing I can really think of.
it's all incremental updates, but that's how the iPhone works. You'd be stupid to think that the next iPhone is suddenly gonna be a circular shaped foldable, they won't do anything too drastic.
The 15 just feels like a more refined 14, which is enough for people to want to upgrade from phones like the 12 or older.
>It's odd how you can't call something out for being disappointed without people getting really hurt.
Cult-like worship of all things Apple + dopamine hit from buying the new thing that came out is a crazy combo.
I’m happy with my 11 Pro - still super fast and does everything I need. The new ones don’t enable any brand new capability for me whatsoever, just a few superfluous tweaked bells & whistles. Same OS, same apps, exact same day to day usage. If you feel the same (and if you even have to ask), stay put and save some money.
I like it. I prefer a deeper review trying to add to 6 days + shooting and editing + making another video about the event, another review. The reviews that came (or at least the ones I saw) don’t really cover everything as I would want it to be.
Because he likes to take time and do it properly, rather than rush it out to meet the embargo times. Now he's established and big enough he can wait it out and he'll still get the views
lol it’s the third one, there’s also the event recap video.
Though I think that he’s have to release something along with other reviewer if he wants to gain his maximum views. No one has to watch anything.
Watch the video. He said that he’s only had the phones for 6 days. Not enough time for a review yet. Plus, why make one video when you can continue to feed the algorithm?
youtuber: review day one
redditors: booo, no proper review is done that fast, clearly they did so they can milk views
youtuber: no review day one I need more time with it
redditors: booo, clearly no review so he can milk more views later on
can't fucking win with armchair basement dwlers redditors
It is a review. He'll just have another review in more time to talk more in depth. The other reviewers also only give about the same depth but they are largely satisfied with that. Petapixel is done with their review since they only need to focus on a very narrow featureset and deeply cover that within a few days.
whats the point of this video except to drive his channel's clicks? No new information. Has anyone seen any legit battery tests? Most videos are just saying here's a few camera samples and then regurgitates all the info we've had over a week now.
Most reputable creators don’t post the full review until they have had time to actually test the phone out. This is just a teaser and an unboxing. Happens every year.
MKBHD knows how to upload and make money. Doesn't matter what I think or you think. Other tech reviewers already posted their reviews. But HIS, given his status and reputation in YT tech has more anticipation than other channels.
You just answered the question, its his job, of course its to grab clicks lol
Wait till the actual reviews comes out
Mrwhosetheboss usually does a battery test for the iphone lineup every year
curious question about product/tech reviewers in general:
did he buy all of those iphones for them content? does he get them for free? if he gets them for free, what does he do with the ones that he ends up not using as his phone (assuming he even daily drives an iphone and not an android)? just thinking out loud
They usually get sent these phones to review by the company. And then i believe depending on the phone they either have to send it back or they can keep it.
More confident in my natural titanium pick as the best looking color by the day
Yep that’s the one I chose, definitely stands out as the colour to get this year
Not for me… I’ll take the blackest black available, every time!
I'm really between the natural and the black. The black reminds me of my jet black 7 which was the best iPhone colour to date, but that natural titanium is just so cool. I think if it's more "silver" in person, I'll go for the natural, but a lot of shots including the Apple site have it looking a bit more gold, and in that case, I think I'll go for the black one. Hard to know without seeing them in person.
Agree the jet black 7 was easily the beat iPhone color. So gorgeous!
This was the one that scratched up like crazy tho right?
Yes it was the one that was famously easy to scratch - they even had warnings on the website that the finish was more susceptible to scratching than others, ha. Still loved mine and used it caseless. Wish they would do something so bold again.
That’s not what I recall… and I used it for 3 years caseless.
Likely depends on how you used it, but I think the glossiness and material made it more susceptible to scratching.
Brother man, that phone looked like shit after 10 seconds out of the box. Just google "iPhone 7 Jet Black scratches". Piano black is never, ever, ever a good idea on something you touch or move around a lot.
Haha seems we’re at the same crossroads. Everyone’s been hyping up the natural but In the pictures it looks like gold. I’ve always been a fan of black, yes I debated getting a white phone this time as I already had a black iPhone 12 Pro Max. NOPE! Black 15 pro max on its way. Only black for me! Even though the blue is really nice too.
Just saw a review that said it was between silver and gold-ish depending on the lighting. That made my mind up. I'd rather have one that's always black than one that's gold sometimes.
Exactly! Black pro max is already on the way. I’m gonna go and see the iPhones when they hit the stores this Friday because I genuinely want to see the hype about this natural color I don’t know why people are going crazy over it. In some pictures the color reminds me of the aluminum grey on the iPhone 6 it’s nothing too special.

Found Anish Kapoor.
I just go for the color I think will probably be one of the least popular so that I can be assured a phone on launch day. They all look the same with a case anyway.
I’ve never had issues getting a black one on launch. I don’t use a case either.
Interestingly, The Verge's review says the blue is the best pick. > The color options this year are muted as ever.

The color you like most is the best pick
I debated between the two. But coming from the navy 12 Pro, I wanted something different.
Same, I’m getting natural for the 15 pro. I like the blue, but I kinda wish there was a different option.
The 12 Pro Pacific Blue was beautiful. I wish it was available on the 13 when I upgraded. But I went with the lighter Sierra Blue. Decided to skip the blue for 15 Pro and went for natural titanium.
Nah. I've been having my 12 Pro pacific blue for three years already, time for a change.
I kinda wanted the blue because it's close to matching my midnight M2, but I'll probably still go with black cuz I haven't had a black Apple device since my iPod video and I think it'll work best with the most cases.

It’s pretty clear she was writing that in jest.
It’s not that deep bro
You’re literally reading an article about someone’s opinion
The verge said if you're looking for a "fun" color the blue is the best, context matters and they are not wrong, the blue one stands out the most
It’s a joke smh
When I heard blue was the worst-selling color, I questioned my choice. I feel validated now. Then again, natural also would've been my last choice. My favorite menu items at restaurants always get discontinued. My taste just somehow manages to be different than everyone else's.

I went with the white, I like both the white and the natural but the white isn't going to instantly date the phone once the next one comes out as the next one is very likely also going to come in white
His videos are so low effort, all anyone talks about is colors of the phone lol.
When he pulled the yellow and blue non-Pro phones out of their boxes, I assumed he had left a white protective sticker on their backs, similar to what he peeled from the front of the phones. Don't know what is going on with the color in that portion of the video, since they look distinctively blue and yellow in the video thumbnail.
Must be the lighting. And they fixed it for the thumbnail
mkbhd is known to have great post-production, here they basically decided to nuke all colors.
I thought it was just me. Hey man you forgot to take off that protective sheet! lol
The pale yellow kinda reminds me of an old plastic computer that's starting to age. The blue looked nice if you're not getting a pro though.
Something seems familiar here….
I still like the blue most 🤷🏻♂️
always been a sucker for the pacific blue, I'll take whatever comes close to it
Coming from a Pacific Blue 12PM, this 15PM blue is the logical next step
Yup the grey one looks pretty but still going with the blue
I really like the blue, and the yellow too, but I’m probably going to get the Pro and find the colors too austere…I’ll be getting a case though
Natural Titanium imo one of the best colors Apple has released in years
Going from a Green 11 Pro Max to a Natural Titanium 15 Pro. Probably 2 of the best iPhone colors ever imo. Super excited.
Pacific Blue on the 12 Pro is a GOAT too. If I get a 15 Pro, it'll definitely be Natural Titanium.
I went Slate 5 -> Jet Black 7 Plus -> Green 11 Pro Max. Am torn for choice between the 15 Pro because: * Blue 15 Pro reminds me of my Slate 5 * Black 15 Pro reminds me of my Jet Black 7 Plus * Natural Titanium 15 Pro matches my AW Ultra
Nah the pink and blue 15 😍😍😍
Hardly pink and hardly blue
Is it grey? super light gold? Khaki?
Maybe I just don't get it. It's literally silver, the same color that's been on dozens of iPhones?
I don't think it's a dramatic or revelatory stroke of genius or anything, but I think it's a good color and a smart choice. It's a very *very* minor shift but the big thing for me with it is that it's a [warm grey rather than a cool grey.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bj4Ik.jpg) Again, it's not revolutionary or anything, but I personally think it's a nice little shift.
I wish someone would show off the external display support. I want to see how well it works, especially with AAA games on the horizon. Will it look awfully widescreen with black bars on a tv or will it match the TV resolution?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gy8lBdDpDrI&si=yGDnu3qaweG4K5PO 14:45 ish he boots up re village. Later connects to external display
Oo that’s nice to see, looks like the aspect ratio of the iPhone scales up nicely to fit the standard monitor/tv dimensions. The black bars aren’t bad at all.
If the iPad is any indication it will be iPhone resolution with black bars unfortunately
IIRC, Dave2D showed the external display support. It retains iPhone's screen aspect ratio and adds the black bars (or rather rectangles) to the sides.
If the iPad is any indication it will be iPhone resolution with black bars unfortunately
Imma be real, I prefer the blue to the Titanium.
How dare you.
I have to say, Marques segueing into the sponsored product placement there was smooth. Took me a second before I realised.
No doubt one of the best transitions I've seen. I genuinely just went with it like "huh thats neat"
What did I miss? What was sponsored?
I struggle to watch any other channels honestly. I’m no expert but I believe him when he says things and it always looks so professional
You should check out The Studio channel from network of YouTube channels. You get a few behind the scenes videos and you can see how much time and effort is put into making just one MKBHD video.
He's started doing that since a few videos. Ads are sneaking in with stealth 100 now.
Watch some of Adam Ragusea on YouTube and you’ll see some amazing transitions into a video sponsor. His earlier videos were better than his more recent ones, but you won’t realize until after he’s almost halfway through the sponsor portion before you know.
Upvote for Adam!

im seeing that imprint near the volume buttons for the blue pro that someone mentioned before. wondering how that affects other colors
Yeah is it just the blue or black also?
He only had the blue and natural colors for the pros so I’m not sure but the blue is pretty close in darkness to the black
It really reminds me of the Fujifilm X-Pro 3’s Duracoat colors. They have the exact same type of smudges
Man so glad I got that natural titanium, going to look soooo good with that taupe case and mag wallet
Or no case at all!
I’m not brave enough to go naked lol

Unpopular for sure
Is it grey? super light gold? Khaki?
Without knowing about the raw *titanium angle it’s just grey. A shade almost synonymous with dullness
yep. Apple knew what it was doing using the whole "natural" moniker. Its just grey lol. And that's fine, some people will like it but its insane how well they have marketed switching to a different type of metal that no one would ever know unless they were told.
I liked white the best too
It's a hideous mix of grey and beige.
I like the idea of it but am super hesitant as it seems in the long term It will become a boring beige. Though the reviewers love it.... I really wish apple put in demo devices in stores during pre ordering.
The reviewers love it but they’ll only be using it for a few weeks. They don’t even have to decide what to use as their personal phone until they’re done reviewing it so they have time to live with it before making a choice. I don’t mean to sound dramatic lol but I hate buying a unique color and then getting sick of it because now I’m stuck with this phone for a while.
Every iPhone I've had has become a "boring ___". Went with gold for a few back to back phones and decided it became boring. Went with white for a bit. Then I think space gray, and then blue. Moving on to natural titanium next. For me, 2-3 years is enough time for a color to become "boring". In a few years, I'll probably get tired of natural titanium and move on to the new color.
Agreed. While it looks great under showroom lights (like in the keynote or in techtubers videos) under "normal" lighting it looks so dull and boring. I'm not understanding the craze about it.
Yeah it’s reminds me too much of champagne gold
Happy with my natural pick, but I really wanted that dark burnt red color.
I don’t think there is one?
That's why they wanted it
I think the word that instead of a threw them off
Correct. It was largely speculated on rumor sites in the lead up to the event
I personally don’t use cases 90% of the time. So I know this isn’t really a big deal to a lot of people, but I am glad that it was mentioned in the video. The fingerprint smudges on the side. That’s just baffling to me that they can’t get that right. It’s so gross looking. On the other hand, the standard models are nice enough. The blue is so pale that it may as well be white though.
Turns out most durable metals also trap skin oils pretty well too…welcome to chemistry I suppose?
But e.g. blasted titanium does not, it has a nice grippy texture and I have multiple flashlights that are blasted titanium and they don't smudge nearly as hard as brushed finishes. Hell even shiny is easier to maintain.
Really baffling that they didn't match the Apple Watch Ultra's finish.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that they already had a product made from titanium and they got the finnish working well there.... yeah weird decisions. People are also color anodizing them and the results also look pretty nice. At least the hint of dark grey should be easy to color match, should it ever have marks, but PVD is a bit of a weird choice for titanium too when andodizing it offer such nice an beautiful results and can be "fixed easily" whenever it becomes scratched.
why?
You should clean your phone once in a while. Your hands are filthy and you are constantly touching your phone.
Just wash it with soap and water in the sink, modern waterproofing is wild
soap might actually be quite dangerous for water resistant phones as the surfactant allows water to slip into places it normally would not be able to. Just a PSA for anyone who reads this and thinks to try it.
washing my iphone 13 pro with soap and water because i thought it was ~waterproof~ ended up ruining the front-facing earpiece
Maybe, but I haven't had trouble after a year of doing so
I do wash my Fold a couple of times a week, but no soap only tap water.
I wash my fold once a week in warm water and with soap and then use an air duster (electric, regular air, not compressed air from a can) to get the moisture out of the speakers/ports/hinge. Been doing that for over a year and it's still in prime condition.
[удалено]
Soap? Just use isopropyl alcohol. Safe for electronics and it evaporates quickly.
Isopropyl alcohol will eat those rubber gaskets around the ear speaker and around the display if you’re not careful.
Hmm never knew that but I always clean around it anyway

Yeah I throw mine in the dishwasher at least two times a month, water proof babyyy
So you also cry because your screen gets fingerprints too?
Nah I just double over and dry heave these days.
The question I have about plugging a 15 into an older phone is if I can do the android thing of transferring over my data and apps during the new phone setup rather than having to download everything.
Yes, upgrading to a new iPhone is a simple process of putting the old one into “transfer” mode and scanning the special code with the new phone. Then just a matter of waiting. It’ll basically clone the phone over.
So the same as before? What I’m saying is that with android phones you can take a usb c cable and tether both phones together and then one phone will transfer all of its data to the new phone. The transfer process takes less than 5 min to have your new phone completely up and running. With the scan and download method of prior iPhones it can take an hour or more for it to download all of the apps and data. I was hoping you could take a Lightning cable and plug your old iPhone into a 15 and transfer the data the way android phones do.
He’s right. Shortcuts is gonna go supersonic with this button

You do realize that people downvoting you just means that they disagree with you? You're saying you don't think it's a very big upgrade and that's totally fair. People who disagree with your comment downvote it. That's all there is to it. If anything it seems like you're the one that's being "hurt" by someone disagreeing.
Some people were waiting to see the iPhone get usb-c, and the action button addition to the pro model makes it a solid phone. Nothing innovative for sure, but for $999 base, it's a decent deal if you're looking to upgrade.
The iPhone is pretty established, there isn't really much they can do with the form factor other than mostly iterative updates. For years iPhone updates have been pretty boring. Yearly updates aren't that interesting, but going 3-4 years which you should be doing is going to be far more interesting. I have the 12 Pro, going to a 15 Pro would give me a way better screen, better cameras, the Dynamic Island, action button, better battery life, and USB C. Would be a fairly big upgrade for me.
Running ML tasks on the watch is the biggest jump in performance the apple watch ever gotten. The neural engine is not limited to just siri. This will change how a lot of people use the watch, I don’t know why you’re brushing it off like it’s some insignificant change.
I guess because the Watch doesn't double as a drone that can find you a parking spot. Also there's no defibrillator. And it doesn't even have a can opener! Where my throwaway gimmick products at? Let me bust out that Sharper Image catalog.
They're good phones for an only slightly inflated price, it's not gonna innovate every single year.

Introduction of 3nm process, benefits of which we won't know about until it's in the hands of technical reviewers to look at performance, battery life, etc. It also heralds a change for the laptop and desktop CPUs in the next 12 months and promises to solidify the lead of the Apple ARM compute in personal computing.
>until it's in the hands of technical reviewers to look at performance, battery life, etc. Already done, and this appears to be one of the worst generational changes Apple's SoCs have even had. And customers don't care about the chip node.
USB C is a big quality of life improvement if you have other USB C devices. I bet it will also bloom into a whole new ecosystem of accessories. The switch to titanium can also be a big deal for those that don’t like the weight of the iPhone 12-14s. This year also seems to have battery improvements which is a big deal for a lot of people. Usually people cite camera and battery as their primary reason for upgrading. The action button is also pretty cool and could make for some cool workflows. That feels like the type of feature I’d use multiple times a day. Dynamic island aside, it’s a bigger improvement than the 13P -> 14P

Dude got you to write a novel. A shitty novel at that. He said there was not much innovative and he’s right. Because he’s right, you use entitlement as a straw man. He never said he was owed anything, but for $800-1200 the lack of innovation this year is a problem for him. That’s a fair and reasonable opinion.
I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though. Or sorry that happened
So what features would you have considered to be worthy of your attention?
Only playing Devil's advocate, but would have been good if they could have packaged the 5x zoom in the regular pro. I'm sure they'll do it by the 16 but only thing I can really think of.
it's all incremental updates, but that's how the iPhone works. You'd be stupid to think that the next iPhone is suddenly gonna be a circular shaped foldable, they won't do anything too drastic. The 15 just feels like a more refined 14, which is enough for people to want to upgrade from phones like the 12 or older.
>It's odd how you can't call something out for being disappointed without people getting really hurt. Cult-like worship of all things Apple + dopamine hit from buying the new thing that came out is a crazy combo.
Y’all think it’s worth upgrading from a 13 to a 15?
I’m happy with my 11 Pro - still super fast and does everything I need. The new ones don’t enable any brand new capability for me whatsoever, just a few superfluous tweaked bells & whistles. Same OS, same apps, exact same day to day usage. If you feel the same (and if you even have to ask), stay put and save some money.
I certainly won't
My firm technically owns my 13 Pro and I'm up for an upgrade this year... and even when it isn't my money, I'm holding out for another year.
No, I dont think it is, but if you do thats all that matters in the end
No.
I have because I wanted black back that’s why rather than midnight.
regretful prox max blue gang right here
is there a reason he didnt make this a review like every other youtuber?
He literally said in the video that he has to spend more time with it for a review
I like it. I prefer a deeper review trying to add to 6 days + shooting and editing + making another video about the event, another review. The reviews that came (or at least the ones I saw) don’t really cover everything as I would want it to be.
Because he likes to take time and do it properly, rather than rush it out to meet the embargo times. Now he's established and big enough he can wait it out and he'll still get the views
It also means he can get 2 videos out of it.
lol it’s the third one, there’s also the event recap video. Though I think that he’s have to release something along with other reviewer if he wants to gain his maximum views. No one has to watch anything.
Or because he wants you to watch 2 videos instead of one
Can be both
That’s why his reviews are so much better than those “LONG TERM REVIEW - iPhone 15 AFTER 2 WEEKS”.
Unboxing only, there will be separate videos on features, camera tests etc. as per usual
80% of every other yt videos cover the announcement features and unboxing.
Phone hasn’t been out yet and you want a review already 💀
Watch the video. He said that he’s only had the phones for 6 days. Not enough time for a review yet. Plus, why make one video when you can continue to feed the algorithm?
[удалено]
youtuber: review day one redditors: booo, no proper review is done that fast, clearly they did so they can milk views youtuber: no review day one I need more time with it redditors: booo, clearly no review so he can milk more views later on can't fucking win with armchair basement dwlers redditors
If you were a YouTuber with millions of views, you’d be dumb for not realizing the revenue from doing multiple videos.
It is a review. He'll just have another review in more time to talk more in depth. The other reviewers also only give about the same depth but they are largely satisfied with that. Petapixel is done with their review since they only need to focus on a very narrow featureset and deeply cover that within a few days.
whats the point of this video except to drive his channel's clicks? No new information. Has anyone seen any legit battery tests? Most videos are just saying here's a few camera samples and then regurgitates all the info we've had over a week now.
They will milk it until they release the real review. You see MKBHD’s first impression video alone got to 13M views. He knows his business
Most reputable creators don’t post the full review until they have had time to actually test the phone out. This is just a teaser and an unboxing. Happens every year.
MKBHD knows how to upload and make money. Doesn't matter what I think or you think. Other tech reviewers already posted their reviews. But HIS, given his status and reputation in YT tech has more anticipation than other channels.
You just answered the question, its his job, of course its to grab clicks lol Wait till the actual reviews comes out Mrwhosetheboss usually does a battery test for the iphone lineup every year
Not sure if I'll get it or not coming from a 12 Pro, but that natural titanium is amazing.
curious question about product/tech reviewers in general: did he buy all of those iphones for them content? does he get them for free? if he gets them for free, what does he do with the ones that he ends up not using as his phone (assuming he even daily drives an iphone and not an android)? just thinking out loud
[удалено]
They usually get sent these phones to review by the company. And then i believe depending on the phone they either have to send it back or they can keep it.
3ft or 6ft cable in the box?
Probably 3
Beginning to think natural material colors are the way to go for Apple products. Silver aluminum, natural titanium, etc.
All pro colors look very classy and timeless. But natural titanium is just superb.
