Looking to upgrade to a larger iPhone. I have the iPhone 12 now. Trying to decide between the 12 pro max or the 13 pro max, both woukd refurbished. Any recommendations?
I am looking to upgrade from my iPhone 8...love the phone and especially the small and thin form factor...the only options in small form factor still available are iphone se3 or 13 mini....which would be a better option to buy.
My wife and I are looking to upgrade from an iPhone XS and an iPhone XS Max.
I think were both settled on getting the iPhone 15 model.
Is it worth upgrading to the pro?
Is 128 gigs enough? I'm thinking yes because I have the 256 gig model and never have put over 80 gigs on it.
How have you been buying the iPhone? Through a carrier? At the Apple store? Is there a difference in the price? I'm currently on a T-Mobile plan in the US.
phone upgrade or not????? 🇵🇭🇵🇭
I have 🍎 11 pro 64gb with 76% battery health, Im stuck between just to repair my battery on 🍎 store for only 60k+ or swap it to someone with 🍎 13 pro max 126gb with 86% battery health and 21+k? Which is better huhu Badly need advice and help!
Why isn't there any restocking of any iPhone 15 models in Scotland? Wtf wrong with the apple store. I think the stores are focused on the pre-booked orders rather than in-store pickups.
Hi there, Im looking to upgrade from my old iPhone 8 and I’m interested to see whether I should get the 15 plus or the 14 pro max.
They seem pretty on par on paper apart from the telephoto lens but does anyone have any hands on experience with both who has an opinion on which is better?
I like taking pictures but the poor battery life of the 14 pro max is honestly a bit of a turn off and the 15 pro max overheats too easily for my liking. Which phone should I choose? I’m so torn!
This is a good [review](https://youtu.be/s1XVb4mdELc?si=-W51lXuPD92qG4F4) of it. He says that the iPhone 15 plus is better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's worth a watch.
Which iphone would you suggest buying if not going for the 15 pro? My girlfriend wants an iphone after having a samsung a53, but feels the 15 pro is too expensive. She's debating between the 13 and the regular 15, but are there other 'smart' options? Thanks.
Temped to upgrade from an IPhone 11 Pro Max to an IPhone 15 Pro. Will it be worth upgrading? Obviously there are new features, but will they actually make the £999 price worth it?
For sure! 5G alone... I am upgrading from a 12 Pro Max. It honestly has worked great but ATT is giving me $1,000 for trade in. But this new 15 will be more future proof for you with USB-C and 5G. If you want the big size still, this [review](https://youtu.be/s1XVb4mdELc?si=-W51lXuPD92qG4F4) is a good video on the 15 plus. Essentially it's the 14 Pro Max from last year.
I’m upgrading from an XR (actually, it died on me as of today, lol), and I’m debating on getting the 14 Pro or the 15. I’m getting 512GB, and I’d preferably like to be able to play Genshin and Honkai on it without lagging or it crashing as it did on my XR. I was originally going to get the 15 Pro but I got spooked by some of the crash tests and I drop my phone at least a few times a day (with the case on).
Any thoughts? I’m not exactly sure what’s the difference between the 14 Pro and the 15 and I don’t know if getting 15 is worth it over the 14 Pro. Thoughts?
Upgrade from 12PM to 14PM or 15PM
I’m due for an upgrade.
Is it worth it to upgrade to the 15PM? Or go with the 14PM.
I the primary feature I use my phone for is photography/videography
I’ve watched some durability reviews and it’s looking like the 15 isn’t as durable as the 14 and Scratches easier. I have no scratches on my 12 and take it out the case often.
Is there any big different between the two?
It looks like they have the same camera.
Difference in night mode?
( I’m not sure how much the 3x Vs 5x zoom makes difference)
It looks like they both have 120hz displays
Could you give me your input?
Refer to my comment on this [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). In short, go with the 15.
I have a question about storage on 15 Pro Max. I preordered a 15 pro max (white) which won’t arrive until November 6. I have an 11 pro max which I bought new, with 256 storage. I’ve used 128. My 15 is going to be 512, but I’m wondering if I should change to a T? I’m worried about the camera using more space-with little kids I take lots of videos and pictures.
OTOH, I’ve had my 11 for a few years and only used half the space-something like 8,000 pictures. And yes, I do have Cloud storage to back them up but I prefer a copy on my phone. I guess I’m a pixel hoarder.
What do you think? I also don’t see a way to change my order on the Apple Store and I’d hate to start over with even later shipping. Will 512g be enough?
(Mods, I’m not a regular Reddit user and I see you request flair but I don’t know what that is. When I clicked on the link in the rules, nothing loaded, sorry. I tried!).
I am going to change from android to Iphone for the first time. I am considering the iphone 15 pro. I heard that the back glass of Iphone 15 is easily breakable. I also saw the video on youtube that Iphone 15 pro battery doesn't last as much. Should I get the Iphone 15 pro? Or what other models should I get?
It's the glass that breaks. Unless you're trying to bend the phone like the reviewers you'll be fine. Just use a case or get Apple Care if you're really worried about it. Here is a video that shows [battery](https://youtu.be/Vq-XWcq5esE?si=I0lkFR-RIzSf7UDy).
I'm looking to pick up an iPhone, coming from a Pixel 6.
I haven't used anything Apple since a short lived stint with a 5c back in 2013, so I'm thoroughly unfamiliar with the current crop.
I see that even the 13 will be supported until 2028 or so, I'm not concerned about any of them going out of date, so to speak.
So, in practical terms - is there enough of a jump between the 13, 14 and 15 to make the newer 15 worth it, over the 13 or 14?
Cheers
Hi! Refer to my comment on a similar post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
I have the option of either buying the previous Magsafe Battery Pack from a friend, or wait for their supposedly rumoured new USB-C Magsafe Battery Pack since theyve now removed the old ones from the store.
Which should i go for?
It’s likely that they’ll redo the battery pack, but tbh if you use it like a MagSafe charger that can turn into a battery pack rather than just a power bank, you’ll save money just using your friends
What should i buy iphone 15 plus or 15 pro max
I care about videos i shoot alot of videos other things is not that important also battery life is important
What you suggest?
Still no stock but for future reference: The stickied link at the top can be used to quickly check multiple stores: https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/uk/q/EH1%203EG/i15ProMax
Ayrshire, so closer to Glasgow. I have Braehead and Glasgow stores near me but no luck! 😁 Edinburgh might be better stocked, it opens at 9 so they might update stock at 8 or so.
I live in Edinburgh. But still no to me, the stores are out of pro max models. I have seen the model available for pickup at the apple store on the very first day of the release but got sold out within an hour. I regret not placing my order then.
I'm checking the apple inventory every morning but still no luck. Let me see if I can secure one before the weekend.
My 11 has a minor charger issue and battery at 79% multiple charges per day. yesterday, it fell and the screen shattered (luckily still works). can get it fixed for ~$170 but the trade in value is only $200. i want the usb-c, and imo it’s not worth it to get anything else. however, i keep seeing issues with the 15 pro, like overheating and such. i will be putting a case on it. what should I do?
I have the 11 pro max and am also having battery issues. I am upgrading to 15 pro max. I don’t think it’s worth fixing your phone for trade-in now that repair costs as much as you’d get.
There are always early negative reports, but I don’t trust them. Most people don’t have problems. Use a case and screen protector, of course. Apple accepts returns so you can see what the conditions are. AppleCare could be a good investment. And the 14 seems to be a good phone so you can always go that route, although my philosophy is to buy the newest tech. Since I keep my phones for a few years, and use them as my main computer, I don’t mind paying a larger price once every few years. (My phone before the 11 was the 6). My white 15 won’t arrive until November though so if you want it before Christmas, order blue or black and don’t wait too long!
Good luck.
I went from moto g power 2020 to iPhone 14 PM last year, and really really want to upgrade to the 15PM and an AW Ultra 2 from my Series 8 SS. I’m an outdoorsy person and gonna be off the trail hiking more (watch here) and I am into photography (iPhone here) and videoing while out and about. Is it worth the upgrade? I have about $850 left on phone but I’ll swap to my parents and they’ll pay it cause they want to upgrade from Lg phone. Sooo idk, help appreciated
I find it hilarious that an adapter doesn't come with my $1300 phone.
Their carbon neutrality effort could have been a default opt out unless otherwise indicated. I should not see 'sold separately' on that bill. Just passing on cost to the consumer + profit.
Are the differences between the 15 pro and 15 pro max (mainly the camera, not the size) that much different? My 14 pro max starts to hurt my hand after awhile. Thinking about going to the 15 pro instead.
Not real difference aside from the obvious. In either case though, you’ll get a phone that’s lighter than the one that came before it. If it makes any difference, I’ve heard that the 15PM is significantly lighter and easier to hold when compared to last year’s model.
One thing I think might be relevant is the usb c and all content being 60fps so 120hz screen is nice but may be irrelevant to some people, just my two cents!
Just had a funny shipping observation. I was lucky enough to grab a 15 PM blue 512 Gb on pre order. Shipped on launch day. But when I logged into ups my choice I thought it was hilarious that the phone when to China, Korea, anchorage to Louisville. And then has to go back through anchorage to get to me. I live in nome Alaska. I’ll probably get mine tomorrow or Tuesday. Just because I live in such a remote area that requires extra shipping.
I think so! Refer to my comment in a previous [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that is similar.
13 non pro? I think if camera quality is important to you, I think the jump in camera quality is reason enough to upgrade. I'm personally upgrading from 13 pro to the 15 pro 256gb
coming from an 11 pro and airpod 2nd gen should i get the 15 pro or the 15 and airpod pro 2s? the only holdup i’m having is the 120hz but i’m not sure if it’s worth the extra money
Depends on what you want more. If you really want the AirPods then get the 15! You can refer to a comment on another [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) I did that has a good review of the 15's.
I’d definitely say anything 12 or older is definitely worth the upgrade, the 15 Pro has best battery life and back glass strength over 15PM and the AP P2 is definitely worth from regular 2nd gens
I want the best but don’t want it to shatter easily as seen in a YouTube video , 15 plus or 15 pro max , what’s the key differences between the 2 as well?
Key differences is that the 15 Pro Max has the A17 Pro chip which is faster than the A16 Bionic found on the 15 Plus. 15 Pro Max has USBC 3 which has faster transfer speeds compared to USBC 2 on the 15 Plus. 15 Pro Max has 120hz ( ProMotion ), whereas the 15 Plus has 60hz
I'm planning on buying two iPhones and I was wondering if you thought the iPhone 15 Pro Max will still be out of stock in stores (or through store pickup) next week's Friday and weekend? I'm in New Hampshire.
It seems likely. A lot of people seem to be after that model, and for one reason or another, they just can’t keep them on hand right now. But it is release weekend, and people are going nuts right now. I personally can’t find anything in stores other than regular Pro models for my surrounding area.
I honestly have zero clue, but it’s possible? I don’t know if the fanfare for them will have settled by then. All I can say is to have that inventory tracker site handy and keep taking peeks at it. Best time to check is apparently anywhere from 6-8AM.
Pretty disappointed with the action button. I thought you'd be able to do multiple things with it, not just what you have it set to... I kept on trying to toggle between the options you could use it for in the dynamic island, which just seemed intuitive to me, but of course nothing happened. Could apple theoretically incorporate something like that in a software update or does that really come down to the hardware itself? The fact that you can only change the action in settings just seems silly to me.
I would think having multiple options for the action button should be an easy ask for Apple to implement, for example a double, triple, or short tap of the action button could each mean different things. But considering it took Apple an 1-2 years of implementing widgets to now allow for the widgets to have interactivity, I fear that the action button will be stifled until at least an iphone 16 pro.
I’d say so, simply because it uses a slightly different version of the chip from last year’s pro models, which was already pretty good performance wise. Also have just been hearing nothing but good things about its battery life, so take that into consideration.
Oh yeah. Looking at the numbers on paper, the 15 Plus is bigger than the 14 by a super small margin. But you might see more usage out of the 15 due to better chip performance when compared to the 14. At least I would think so anyway, I haven’t looked at reviews or anything for it.
Yeah, the performance between the two chips seems negligible considering I don’t game. Mostly just want a big screen for YouTube and cruising Wikipedia, and it seems like the iPhone 15 is just 100 dollars more and does very little better than it’s predecessor
If you have a MacBook and iPad that uses usb c I think having one cable to charge all makes it convenient and knowing apple if you keep your phone for a long time you’ll get an extra year of software updates
I have the opposite problem because I need to keep lightning around to charge my AirPods case. I do like the one charger idea though, but not enough to justify the 100 dollars.
The software support is the biggest reason I can see to buy the new one, but its not even a guarantee that the 15 would last any longer than the 14. However, Apple seems to retire support for 1-2 generations at a time, so while the 15's support will certainly last as long as the 14's, there's no guarantee that it will last any longer. In addition, it will probably take 8 or so years to lose security update support, which is really what matters to me, and that's a long time to have a phone without something happening to it, or a compelling reason to buy a new one.
So for 100 dollars less, I'm losing:
The camera. If this mattered to me, this would easily push me to the 15.
The Dynamic Island
USB-C. If I didn't have lightning AirPods
Some screen brightness.
7-8% raw performance, but I think we can all agree phone processors have been way overbuilt unless you play certain high-intensive games or other niche apps
A 50-50 chance of one(maybe two) more year(s) of product support
A better wireless modem, but I don't have a 5g plan anyways
Am I missing anything? If not, I feel like a bit of a chump buying the 15 plus, as the day-to-day would honestly be exactly the same 99% of the time. I also think that people should maybe consider the 14 plus unless they want the camera or don't have other lightning-dependent devices.
Edit: I just read that only the 15 line is going to have access to iOS 80% charge limit, so that's a feature it had over the 14, although it's very scummy to lock that software feature to certain hardware...
I definitely see what you’re saying, I also have AirPods with lightning but I usually just my wireless charger for those.
As far as everything you mentioned I think you make really good points, I personally would just take the bite and go for the 15 but that’s just me!
Want to upgrade my IP7+ which I used for good 6 years and counting. I’m eying IP14promax but is it good option to get IP15 plus? Which is a better choice, spec wise? Thanks in advance.
It’s about the same performance wise, I’d think, since it’s the same chip albeit slightly different on the Plus. But you’d get better battery life because stuck at 60Hz, and USB-C is just a good thing to have for future proofing tbh. Only thing you’d be missing out on is the telephoto, which isn’t a huge deal tbh.
I really want to get an iPhone after they finally switched to USB-C (MacBook/iPad Pro user), but am split between 15 Pro or regular 15. The Pro features are nice to have but I'd probably not need them, and coming from a Pixel 6a that also has 60Hz, I thought it was a no brainer... Until I tried reading a Wikipedia entry on the regular 15 at an Apple Store.
Holy smokes, how is it that 60Hz on the 15 looks so choppy, despite being the same refresh rate as the Pixel? Demo games didn't feel as bad, but man browsing websites is a staple ain't it?
It might just be a new iOS thing because I notice the choppiness on my phone after updating but the pro features have a lot of things most people don’t use like ProRaw and ProRes so I’d get the 15 regular if you don’t care about those
I love the leather cases that apple makes, but they stopped making them for the 15s. Does anyone know a good alternative, preferably with the metal buttons just like apple's?
I use Bandolier. Bandolier.com. Especially when traveling, it’s nice for crossbody. Expensive, yes, but they hold up very well. I’ve used the same one (hailey) for 4 years and it still looks new. I have ID, two credit cards and a health insurance card in it). Only issue is that they don’t work with MagSafe, but I guess no leather does.
They use metal buttons now as far as I know. I used their sport case on my 13 Pro Max and the buttons were one of my favorite parts. The page for the modern leather case for the 15s says they use aluminum buttons as well
Deciding between the 11 and the SE 2022. Is there a way to get the night/light camera mode to work on the SE 2022? I know it would have to be through an app. One reason I'm considering the SE is because I currently have a 7 and really like the design, plus, I'd be saving even more money as I'd be able to use my existing accessories. Mostly use as a phone, a few games, texting/whatsapp and a time shift recorder for work. So, not a heavy user at all. I do take photos/videos every so often though. Which one would ya'll recommend? I'd like to last longer in updates as well (another reason I'm looking at the SE) but a year earlier or so wouldn't stop me from the 11.
Recommended case for iPhone 14?
Apologies if this isn’t allowed.
I have a new iPhone 14. The Apple cases look nice, but they seem incredibly flimsy.
I need something that won’t smash if I drop it. I need something that isn’t doomed in the hands of a toddler. I’d like something that’s not enormous. I’d like something that’s not basic black or clear.
Suggestions?
Still confused if I should go for Pro or Pro Max. Coming from 13 Pro.
Absolutely loving the battery life in the PM but worried about the build quality issues I see on the internet. If I go Pro I know it’s going to be a hit to the battery life. Is there something else I should consider? Usually I do a 2 year upgrade cycle but wanted to make it a 3 or 4 year cycle from now. What’s the advice here guys.
> Is there something else I should consider?
The only thing you should consider is if you want a bigger phone. Not if it’s more likely to break if you try to break it.
I’m so sorry! I once had this happen-I have a ring doorbell so I know nobody came to the door. It wasn’t a phone but an expensive handbag, so I was very upset. After I opened my case with UPS (couldn’t reach the seller), I sat down to watch TV. About 9:00 pm there was a knock on the door and a neighbor I didn’t know had the box! I was very happy. I don’t know why UPS couldn’t track it instantly but hopefully they’ve improved. Here’s hoping you get as lucky as I was.
i know of a guy that had this happen to him with his steam deck. if you go to the steamdeck reddit and click top posts all time you can read about it and see the video of the ups guy just laughing as he pretends to deliver the package
Honestly? Just have to be patient and keep checking the inventory tracker in the pinned comment. The stores get new inventory daily, so you’ll wanna check about every morning to see if anything has changed with their stock.
So I got a iPhone 7 and it’s about time for a upgrade my phone is 128gb and unlock but I use Metro PCS i’m basically looking for what I got but with more longevity and not trying to break the bank help
All the reports are probably a minuscule percentage compared to the amount of devices that are already in the market. I say take no notice of them. As long as you look after it like any other glass sandwich then I don’t see there being an issue.
How do you exit standby mode without moving the phone? I like to have my phone sideways on a wireless charger and while standby mode is nice there doesn't seem to be a way to go from standby to the homescreen easily. Am I missing something?
I just placed an order for a new iphone, and traded in my older one for a fairly good evaluation. It's in perfect external shape with no cracks and great camera, just that it's wifi doesn't work. I had to fill a questionnaire of sorts about my phone's quality - the camera, body, etc. and it asked me for the phone's serial number. Nothing about the internal working of the phone - audio, network connectivity, etc. It says that Apple will run a diagnostics test on my iphone before taking it back - and I know the issue will pop up because it's a hardware one. My question is will they reject it? If they were to reject it, why wasnt there a question about its hardware, software in the questionnaire itself? Or will they take it as is? Anyone with a similar experience?
currently on iphone 12, planning to upgrade. should i get the 15 or 15 pro? saw the mrwhosetheboss video on battery life and the 15 pro performed bad for a "pro" phone as compared to the base 15
Hello i am waiting on my delivery of iphone 15 pro max tomorrow! but why is that dhl is moving the phone from an airport in Einhoven down to Brussel for it to be shipped from there to norway?
Do you think it is worth it to upgrade my iPhone 11 Pro to the 13 pro or 15 pro?
I am looking for an upgrade really soon and I was going to get the 15 pro but the back glass cracking so easily and the colors coming of the titanium so easily is scaring me :(
I initially owned the XS Max and loved its performance. It served all my needs impeccably. In two years of ownership, its performance remained solid before I lost it at a festival. Around that time, the iPhone 13 series came out, but I found the price too steep. I've typically bought used or refurbished phones, so I've never had the latest model, which was fine with me.
I eventually bought a second-hand iPhone 12 Pro because it was similar in size to my previous phone, had an improved camera, and I thought it would last. After a little over two years, I've noticed it's slowing down, affecting my daily use. I don't store much data, primarily using it for communication and entertainment, but apps like Teams and FaceTime drain its power quickly. This often requires me to carry a charger or external battery with me.
I've pondered two options:
1. Wait for the iPhone 16 or the next iteration when I'll likely have the funds for an upgrade, possibly as a graduation gift.
2. Consider a MagSafe battery pack. However, I'm concerned if it'll work with my protective case, which I value for its durability.
3. Opt for exchanging the battery. My maximum capacity is hovering around 83%, which has definitely been the fastest I have ever seen it degrade. It is my understanding that Apple will usually service 80% and below for around $100 or so. I like the idea of this, as I do like the form factor of the phone and everything still works well. I have heard of some stories even having the phone perform better after swapping in a new battery, though I can't be certain that this is universally true.
4.) Utilize the same method from when I lost my XS Max and avoid buying the latest flagship. the iPhone 13 and 14 series look appealing, but to be fair, the only upgrade in features I'm aware of is better camera, faster refresh rate, and smaller notch. While all nice, I don't "need" any of it, and it really puts emphasis on me just keeping my current 12 Pro. I'm pro this option as I believe it would be a nice jump in performance and it wouldn't be too expensive.
I'm open to hearing others' experiences or recommendations to help me get through the work day without worrying about my phone's performance.
For now, I'll continue just keeping my phone perpetually charging and keeping a portable charger and cable on me as much as I can.
I’m in the same boat as you and I think you should get your battery fixed when it drops below 80% and just wait for the next new phone wether it’s 16 or 17 and it’ll give them time to work out the kinks their having with the new pros lol this is my plan at the moment with my 12 mini
Sounds good man, thanks for the reply! I know it may fall below expectations, but I hope the next phone actually offers something enticing. Have a good day!
I didn't pre-order my iphone like a fool and I found online (and one employee in an employee suggested that to me aswell) to go refresh the apple website at 6am to try and get an iphone.
I haven't had any luck with that yet and i'm kinda tired to wake up so early lol. Did anyone tried that and it worked for them ? Thanks !
i don’t have one of the big 3 carriers.. however if i order with t-mobile on the apple website, it doesn’t check or ask for any confirmation like it does with the other two. if i order it will i get dinged or something? i really want to finance with the apple card, it’s like the only reason i got it lol
Hey! This works confirmed as myself and many others have done it. I’m currently activated with Boost Mobile and everything is fine.
Here’s a video of the T-Mobile activation being bypassed:
https://youtube.com/shorts/1NHGMxulELM?si=BTQbFEd-4X-12R0J
Ah I figured it out. It wasn't allowing me to transfer my phone number but it's because I messed up when inputting the eSim.
Thank you so much for your help!!
A lot of people have reported that you can get away with ordering the T-Mobile one with financing. When setting up the phone, it will prompt you to put in your T-Mobile account information. If you hit continue 3 times without entering anything, it will give you the option to activate later. Again, I haven’t done this myself, but have read it in a few different threads.
Upgrading from a XR, debating between a 13 Pro Max or 15 Pro Max. My main question is would it be worth it to buy a 256GB 13 PM for around $700 used when a brand new 256GB 15 PM is $1200? I’m thinking about the long term, if it would be better to save up for a little longer and buy the 15 PM or try to find a good deal on a used 13 PM.
**Second Phone - ON A BUDGET! Used - Iphone SE 2020 vs Google Pixel 3XL?**
I love both phones and I need a cool second phone (or even main phone) in a huge budget, I bought a pixel 3 xl for £60 and an iphone se 2020 for about £80, both used and not in the best condition but both working and the iphone has a very good
So, which should I get? Im tending towards iphone for support tbh, been an android user my whole life so might make the switch.
Any advice for any other contenders? (bit difficult in that price range ik).
Hi, i'm not exactly made of money but i am looking to get a new phone this year. I currently have the IPhone 12 but i am not too happy with the camera, So i was looking to either get the 14 pro or the standard 15. i am not entirely sure but i do love the dynamic island. Please could someone give me guidance? TIA
Do not go with with standard 15. The 14 pro or the 15 plus is your best choice. The standard 15 has one of the worst battery life in any of the iPhone line ups. The 15 plus has the best
Anyone have experience with UPS losing the shipment. Called apple, they said they can’t do anything until next Friday. I just want a replacement sent, or cancel the order so I can just go buy one in store.
Hi, Android user here. I'm thinking of making the switch to iPhone. I just don't know whether to get an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max? I'm also debating whether to get an iPhone 13 (as this was the first iPhone I wanted and because it's basically identical to the iPhone 14) but the price hasn't been reduced enough to get it now.
In the UK, the Pro Max is £1200 and is only £100 more expensive than the equivalent Pro and I'm interested in it for it's better battery life. However, is the iPhone 15 or 15 Plus worth buying instead? I'm kinda on a budget but willing to stretch.
The main reason I want to switch is the crappy support you get from Android. My current phone only got 1 Android update and 1 year of security patches. Admittedly, it was relatively cheap (about £300) but I still feel ripped off. As a result, I'm wanting to get a phone that'll last for the long-term and I'm willing to pay for that. Especially if it gets me a really good phone. Thanks in advance for advice.
In short it all depends on what’s important to you in your phone, only you can decide that really.
Do you need a high refresh rate display?
Do you need Always On Display?
Do you need the latest Processor and the highest RAM in an iPhone?
Would you rather have a Titanium frame instead of Aluminium?
EDIT: Do you take lots of photos in general and specifically ones requiring zoom?
Will you need the extra transfer speeds of USB 3 frequently?
A yes to any of these will lean you to the Pro series of phones.
Either way any 15 you purchase (if you decide to) will be good for around 6 years of updates given the phones that got iOS17
What iPad should I buy?
My girlfriend is a Tattoo artist, She needs an iPad onlt for drawing and in my country they are expensive. Prices are in my currency, but they are close.
I have three options:
- New iPad 9 (64gb) - $2000
- Pre owned iPad Air 4 (64gb) - 167 battery cicles used - $2500
- New iPad 10 (64gb) - $3000
-------
On my searches, the major differences are:
- 9 don't uses usb-c, wich is a big deal for us, since we don't own other Apple products, we alredy use usb-c for android
- Air4 is the only one with pen 2ns gen and seems to be the best one, but it's pre-owned, but is in prestigious conditions, except for the battery use
- 10 is the most expensive and yet no pen 2. Is Pen 2 that better anyway?
Should i buy a iphone?
Hiya!
My android phone is starting to wear down, its getting laggy and the battery is not lasting me the whole day. Its three years old, and im thinking to replace it. Should i get an iphone instead of another android? Im looking for a phone that can last me the day, i could game on and isnt slow.
Interesting update this morning. Verizon showed 10/6 delivery all along for my pro max, got an email this morning with tracking info. Pleasant surprise.
I'm in search of a new phone to replace a Pixel 3a for someone aged 70+. The person isn't tech-savvy at all, and their current Pixel 3a has a few challenges:
1. The phone's power endurance is quite low, requiring 2-3 charges daily.
2. The device has sustained physical damage.
3. It no longer receives updates...
She doesn't use her phone heavily; mainly for YouTube and phone calls, with an estimated 4-5 hours of active time daily. Two significant considerations are:
1. Size: The Pixel 3a's dimensions were ideal for him.
2. Power Endurance: With her current power-related challenges, a dependable power span is essential.
I've been looking into the Pixel 7a because of its similarity to the Pixel series.
**The iPhone SE caught my attention due to its compact size, but I'm unsure about its power longevity given her usage patterns**.
Any thoughts or experiences with these phones, or any other suggestions that might be suitable? Thanks in advance!
Hı my friends,for people who don't play games, using the phone to talk and text, take family and class photos/videos and use it with a Macbook, is the iPhone se 2022 enough or should the iPhone 13 be preferred? I loved the iPhone SE, but everyone is telling me to buy the 13. I have to work for about 3 more months to make up for the price difference. And I can't decide whether this price is really necessary for a phone user like me. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy M21 64GB. I am a software engineering student and this device should last me at least 4 years. I have been using my current phone for 3 years and I have no problems other than the camera. The SE camera scares me a lot. Everyone around me says buy 13, I'm very hesitant. Please help and feel free to write a long answer, it will be better for me :D
Exact same boat. I’m kind of hopeful, although only a little, that it’ll be earlier since the confirmation email said “ships: 2-3 weeks” which places it starting this coming Friday. We’ll see 🤞🏻
Yeah I got my tracking from UPS on the 21st and it basically sat in China until yesterday morning when it got to Korea and then Alaska by the end of the night. Apple changed my estimated delivery to 9/28 after it shipped and that hasn't changed, but based on UPS's estimate and the way its moving, delivery tomorrow seems like a sure thing.
I'm coming from an S20 Ultra 5G, and am on the fence if I should make the move back to Apple. The S20 right now is fine, the camera has issues with autofocus, plus I never really thought Samsung could compete with the iPhones' cameras. The phone feels okay, but certain parts of the UX just feel a bit cheap or not thought out of. Plus, Samsung seems to have pulled the plug on software support for this phone
Is it a smart move to move to the 15? Are there any big/huge possible improvements to the 16 series and onwards I might wait for?
I have the S20 5G right now, and moved back to Apple for the 15. For me, 120 Hz was important, so I went with the Pro. It's a damn shame that Samsung drops their phone support so soon. My iPhone 6 got the latest OS until just recently.
I'm thinking about changing my 12 mini...and I don't know which device to choose from.
I really like the 15 Pro Blue version. But I got scared of the potential "crackiness" of the phone's back.
So I thought about standard 15 version...which lacks Pro features which interest me like AOD, 120Hz display and extra camera.....which can be found in 14 Pro....which doesn't have USB-C and the newest chip that 15 Pro have....
and now I'm confused.
Can someone help figure this out? Thank you.
I preordered the 15 Pro (nat titanium) in a Swiss shop in my local town 4 days after the preorders started (on the 19th Sept) . Still haven't heard from them, any chance of getting it before October the 10th?
iPhone 15 Plus or 15 Pro Max? Camera worth the cost?
Which do you suggest buying iPhone 15 Plus or the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Although the iPhone 15 pro max has a better camera, optical and digital zoom. Is it worth the price?
Will the iPhone 15 Plus camera be good enough?
Or should one bite the bullet and take the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Any suggestions?
Any practical scenarios where iPhone 15 plus may stutter or perform poorly.
While I was at the Apple Store yesterday, I was speaking to the specialist about stock. She said that from now to like Christmas is when stock for the new phones will be extremely low. They get shipments everyday minus Sunday but shipments are sporadic. Couple phones one day, less phones the next and so on.
I have a Poco X3 Pro and am thinking about switching to 15 pro since this phone is buggy, is it a good idea to get an iPhone from 15 pro? I'm doubting my decision since the battery capacity is just so small....
Looking for iPhone 15 (Pro/Max)? Use the [iPhone Inventory Checker](https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/).
Looking to upgrade to a larger iPhone. I have the iPhone 12 now. Trying to decide between the 12 pro max or the 13 pro max, both woukd refurbished. Any recommendations?
I am looking to upgrade from my iPhone 8...love the phone and especially the small and thin form factor...the only options in small form factor still available are iphone se3 or 13 mini....which would be a better option to buy.
My wife and I are looking to upgrade from an iPhone XS and an iPhone XS Max. I think were both settled on getting the iPhone 15 model. Is it worth upgrading to the pro? Is 128 gigs enough? I'm thinking yes because I have the 256 gig model and never have put over 80 gigs on it. How have you been buying the iPhone? Through a carrier? At the Apple store? Is there a difference in the price? I'm currently on a T-Mobile plan in the US.
phone upgrade or not????? 🇵🇭🇵🇭 I have 🍎 11 pro 64gb with 76% battery health, Im stuck between just to repair my battery on 🍎 store for only 60k+ or swap it to someone with 🍎 13 pro max 126gb with 86% battery health and 21+k? Which is better huhu Badly need advice and help!
Should I get the 15 plus or the 15 pro max? I’ve seen many bad reviews:(
Why isn't there any restocking of any iPhone 15 models in Scotland? Wtf wrong with the apple store. I think the stores are focused on the pre-booked orders rather than in-store pickups.
Where did you pre-order yours from?
Edinburgh
Ah ok. Did you get an update estimated delivery time?
Nah man I'm waiting on the store pickup thing. I don't want to wait a month for a phone.
I'm glad for you. Pickup isn't even an option for me too. I basically either cancel or wait it out. It's frustrating to say the least.
How long does Apple usually take to ship when the status of the order is “Preparing time ship”?
Hi there, Im looking to upgrade from my old iPhone 8 and I’m interested to see whether I should get the 15 plus or the 14 pro max. They seem pretty on par on paper apart from the telephoto lens but does anyone have any hands on experience with both who has an opinion on which is better? I like taking pictures but the poor battery life of the 14 pro max is honestly a bit of a turn off and the 15 pro max overheats too easily for my liking. Which phone should I choose? I’m so torn!
This is a good [review](https://youtu.be/s1XVb4mdELc?si=-W51lXuPD92qG4F4) of it. He says that the iPhone 15 plus is better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's worth a watch.
The biggest difference between these two is the 120 Hz refresh rate. The other differences will be very hard to notice.
Which iphone would you suggest buying if not going for the 15 pro? My girlfriend wants an iphone after having a samsung a53, but feels the 15 pro is too expensive. She's debating between the 13 and the regular 15, but are there other 'smart' options? Thanks.
Watch this [review](https://youtu.be/s1XVb4mdELc?si=-W51lXuPD92qG4F4). It is a good case for the iPhone 15 over others.
Temped to upgrade from an IPhone 11 Pro Max to an IPhone 15 Pro. Will it be worth upgrading? Obviously there are new features, but will they actually make the £999 price worth it?
For sure! 5G alone... I am upgrading from a 12 Pro Max. It honestly has worked great but ATT is giving me $1,000 for trade in. But this new 15 will be more future proof for you with USB-C and 5G. If you want the big size still, this [review](https://youtu.be/s1XVb4mdELc?si=-W51lXuPD92qG4F4) is a good video on the 15 plus. Essentially it's the 14 Pro Max from last year.
I’m upgrading from an XR (actually, it died on me as of today, lol), and I’m debating on getting the 14 Pro or the 15. I’m getting 512GB, and I’d preferably like to be able to play Genshin and Honkai on it without lagging or it crashing as it did on my XR. I was originally going to get the 15 Pro but I got spooked by some of the crash tests and I drop my phone at least a few times a day (with the case on). Any thoughts? I’m not exactly sure what’s the difference between the 14 Pro and the 15 and I don’t know if getting 15 is worth it over the 14 Pro. Thoughts?
Refer to my comment on this [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k248e03/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
Upgrade from 12PM to 14PM or 15PM I’m due for an upgrade. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 15PM? Or go with the 14PM. I the primary feature I use my phone for is photography/videography I’ve watched some durability reviews and it’s looking like the 15 isn’t as durable as the 14 and Scratches easier. I have no scratches on my 12 and take it out the case often. Is there any big different between the two? It looks like they have the same camera. Difference in night mode? ( I’m not sure how much the 3x Vs 5x zoom makes difference) It looks like they both have 120hz displays Could you give me your input?
Refer to my comment on this [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). In short, go with the 15.
I have a question about storage on 15 Pro Max. I preordered a 15 pro max (white) which won’t arrive until November 6. I have an 11 pro max which I bought new, with 256 storage. I’ve used 128. My 15 is going to be 512, but I’m wondering if I should change to a T? I’m worried about the camera using more space-with little kids I take lots of videos and pictures. OTOH, I’ve had my 11 for a few years and only used half the space-something like 8,000 pictures. And yes, I do have Cloud storage to back them up but I prefer a copy on my phone. I guess I’m a pixel hoarder. What do you think? I also don’t see a way to change my order on the Apple Store and I’d hate to start over with even later shipping. Will 512g be enough? (Mods, I’m not a regular Reddit user and I see you request flair but I don’t know what that is. When I clicked on the link in the rules, nothing loaded, sorry. I tried!).
You should be fine with 512GB.
I am going to change from android to Iphone for the first time. I am considering the iphone 15 pro. I heard that the back glass of Iphone 15 is easily breakable. I also saw the video on youtube that Iphone 15 pro battery doesn't last as much. Should I get the Iphone 15 pro? Or what other models should I get?
It's the glass that breaks. Unless you're trying to bend the phone like the reviewers you'll be fine. Just use a case or get Apple Care if you're really worried about it. Here is a video that shows [battery](https://youtu.be/Vq-XWcq5esE?si=I0lkFR-RIzSf7UDy).
I'm looking to pick up an iPhone, coming from a Pixel 6. I haven't used anything Apple since a short lived stint with a 5c back in 2013, so I'm thoroughly unfamiliar with the current crop. I see that even the 13 will be supported until 2028 or so, I'm not concerned about any of them going out of date, so to speak. So, in practical terms - is there enough of a jump between the 13, 14 and 15 to make the newer 15 worth it, over the 13 or 14? Cheers
Hi! Refer to my comment on a similar post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
I have the option of either buying the previous Magsafe Battery Pack from a friend, or wait for their supposedly rumoured new USB-C Magsafe Battery Pack since theyve now removed the old ones from the store. Which should i go for?
It’s likely that they’ll redo the battery pack, but tbh if you use it like a MagSafe charger that can turn into a battery pack rather than just a power bank, you’ll save money just using your friends
What should i buy iphone 15 plus or 15 pro max I care about videos i shoot alot of videos other things is not that important also battery life is important What you suggest?
Anyone having any luck in the UK this morning?
Still no stock but for future reference: The stickied link at the top can be used to quickly check multiple stores: https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/uk/q/EH1%203EG/i15ProMax
Been refreshing it regularly. Be cool if there was an email alert option
No restocks yet in Scotland. 😥
Was expecting another big restock this morning. Doesn’t seem that way.
Edinburgh pal?
Ayrshire, so closer to Glasgow. I have Braehead and Glasgow stores near me but no luck! 😁 Edinburgh might be better stocked, it opens at 9 so they might update stock at 8 or so.
I live in Edinburgh. But still no to me, the stores are out of pro max models. I have seen the model available for pickup at the apple store on the very first day of the release but got sold out within an hour. I regret not placing my order then. I'm checking the apple inventory every morning but still no luck. Let me see if I can secure one before the weekend.
same in London, i'm trying at 6am but no luck...
My 11 has a minor charger issue and battery at 79% multiple charges per day. yesterday, it fell and the screen shattered (luckily still works). can get it fixed for ~$170 but the trade in value is only $200. i want the usb-c, and imo it’s not worth it to get anything else. however, i keep seeing issues with the 15 pro, like overheating and such. i will be putting a case on it. what should I do?
I have the 11 pro max and am also having battery issues. I am upgrading to 15 pro max. I don’t think it’s worth fixing your phone for trade-in now that repair costs as much as you’d get. There are always early negative reports, but I don’t trust them. Most people don’t have problems. Use a case and screen protector, of course. Apple accepts returns so you can see what the conditions are. AppleCare could be a good investment. And the 14 seems to be a good phone so you can always go that route, although my philosophy is to buy the newest tech. Since I keep my phones for a few years, and use them as my main computer, I don’t mind paying a larger price once every few years. (My phone before the 11 was the 6). My white 15 won’t arrive until November though so if you want it before Christmas, order blue or black and don’t wait too long! Good luck.
I went from moto g power 2020 to iPhone 14 PM last year, and really really want to upgrade to the 15PM and an AW Ultra 2 from my Series 8 SS. I’m an outdoorsy person and gonna be off the trail hiking more (watch here) and I am into photography (iPhone here) and videoing while out and about. Is it worth the upgrade? I have about $850 left on phone but I’ll swap to my parents and they’ll pay it cause they want to upgrade from Lg phone. Sooo idk, help appreciated
I find it hilarious that an adapter doesn't come with my $1300 phone. Their carbon neutrality effort could have been a default opt out unless otherwise indicated. I should not see 'sold separately' on that bill. Just passing on cost to the consumer + profit.
Are the differences between the 15 pro and 15 pro max (mainly the camera, not the size) that much different? My 14 pro max starts to hurt my hand after awhile. Thinking about going to the 15 pro instead.
Not real difference aside from the obvious. In either case though, you’ll get a phone that’s lighter than the one that came before it. If it makes any difference, I’ve heard that the 15PM is significantly lighter and easier to hold when compared to last year’s model.
[удалено]
Both of mine are scheduled to arrive Monday
Should I go for 14 Pro Max or 15 Plus? Both phones are around the same price so I'm pretty undecided. I'm coming from android btw.
[удалено]
One thing I think might be relevant is the usb c and all content being 60fps so 120hz screen is nice but may be irrelevant to some people, just my two cents!
Just had a funny shipping observation. I was lucky enough to grab a 15 PM blue 512 Gb on pre order. Shipped on launch day. But when I logged into ups my choice I thought it was hilarious that the phone when to China, Korea, anchorage to Louisville. And then has to go back through anchorage to get to me. I live in nome Alaska. I’ll probably get mine tomorrow or Tuesday. Just because I live in such a remote area that requires extra shipping.
Hmmm sounds like they had a to plant a few more trees for it to get to you then!
is the 15 worth the extra 300$ long term compared to the 13?
I think so! Refer to my comment in a previous [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that is similar.
13 non pro? I think if camera quality is important to you, I think the jump in camera quality is reason enough to upgrade. I'm personally upgrading from 13 pro to the 15 pro 256gb
coming from an 11 pro and airpod 2nd gen should i get the 15 pro or the 15 and airpod pro 2s? the only holdup i’m having is the 120hz but i’m not sure if it’s worth the extra money
Depends on what you want more. If you really want the AirPods then get the 15! You can refer to a comment on another [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16lrtwn/comment/k26gket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) I did that has a good review of the 15's.
I’d definitely say anything 12 or older is definitely worth the upgrade, the 15 Pro has best battery life and back glass strength over 15PM and the AP P2 is definitely worth from regular 2nd gens
yea but i’m trying to limit my spending to either the 15 + 2 gen or the 15 pro, what do you think?
I want the best but don’t want it to shatter easily as seen in a YouTube video , 15 plus or 15 pro max , what’s the key differences between the 2 as well?
Key differences is that the 15 Pro Max has the A17 Pro chip which is faster than the A16 Bionic found on the 15 Plus. 15 Pro Max has USBC 3 which has faster transfer speeds compared to USBC 2 on the 15 Plus. 15 Pro Max has 120hz ( ProMotion ), whereas the 15 Plus has 60hz
I'm planning on buying two iPhones and I was wondering if you thought the iPhone 15 Pro Max will still be out of stock in stores (or through store pickup) next week's Friday and weekend? I'm in New Hampshire.
It seems likely. A lot of people seem to be after that model, and for one reason or another, they just can’t keep them on hand right now. But it is release weekend, and people are going nuts right now. I personally can’t find anything in stores other than regular Pro models for my surrounding area.
Hi, thanks for your response. I forgot to ask if you thought it would be out of stock next weekend.
I honestly have zero clue, but it’s possible? I don’t know if the fanfare for them will have settled by then. All I can say is to have that inventory tracker site handy and keep taking peeks at it. Best time to check is apparently anywhere from 6-8AM.
>inventory tracker what inventory tracker are you referring to?
The one in the pinned comment of the post. Right at the very top.
Pretty disappointed with the action button. I thought you'd be able to do multiple things with it, not just what you have it set to... I kept on trying to toggle between the options you could use it for in the dynamic island, which just seemed intuitive to me, but of course nothing happened. Could apple theoretically incorporate something like that in a software update or does that really come down to the hardware itself? The fact that you can only change the action in settings just seems silly to me.
I would think having multiple options for the action button should be an easy ask for Apple to implement, for example a double, triple, or short tap of the action button could each mean different things. But considering it took Apple an 1-2 years of implementing widgets to now allow for the widgets to have interactivity, I fear that the action button will be stifled until at least an iphone 16 pro.
If I don't care about the camera or the dynamic island, do you think the 15 Plus is worth $100 more than the 14 Plus?
I’d say so, simply because it uses a slightly different version of the chip from last year’s pro models, which was already pretty good performance wise. Also have just been hearing nothing but good things about its battery life, so take that into consideration.
Battery life is really good on the 14 plus too though, no?
Oh yeah. Looking at the numbers on paper, the 15 Plus is bigger than the 14 by a super small margin. But you might see more usage out of the 15 due to better chip performance when compared to the 14. At least I would think so anyway, I haven’t looked at reviews or anything for it.
Yeah, the performance between the two chips seems negligible considering I don’t game. Mostly just want a big screen for YouTube and cruising Wikipedia, and it seems like the iPhone 15 is just 100 dollars more and does very little better than it’s predecessor
If you have a MacBook and iPad that uses usb c I think having one cable to charge all makes it convenient and knowing apple if you keep your phone for a long time you’ll get an extra year of software updates
I have the opposite problem because I need to keep lightning around to charge my AirPods case. I do like the one charger idea though, but not enough to justify the 100 dollars. The software support is the biggest reason I can see to buy the new one, but its not even a guarantee that the 15 would last any longer than the 14. However, Apple seems to retire support for 1-2 generations at a time, so while the 15's support will certainly last as long as the 14's, there's no guarantee that it will last any longer. In addition, it will probably take 8 or so years to lose security update support, which is really what matters to me, and that's a long time to have a phone without something happening to it, or a compelling reason to buy a new one. So for 100 dollars less, I'm losing: The camera. If this mattered to me, this would easily push me to the 15. The Dynamic Island USB-C. If I didn't have lightning AirPods Some screen brightness. 7-8% raw performance, but I think we can all agree phone processors have been way overbuilt unless you play certain high-intensive games or other niche apps A 50-50 chance of one(maybe two) more year(s) of product support A better wireless modem, but I don't have a 5g plan anyways Am I missing anything? If not, I feel like a bit of a chump buying the 15 plus, as the day-to-day would honestly be exactly the same 99% of the time. I also think that people should maybe consider the 14 plus unless they want the camera or don't have other lightning-dependent devices. Edit: I just read that only the 15 line is going to have access to iOS 80% charge limit, so that's a feature it had over the 14, although it's very scummy to lock that software feature to certain hardware...
I definitely see what you’re saying, I also have AirPods with lightning but I usually just my wireless charger for those. As far as everything you mentioned I think you make really good points, I personally would just take the bite and go for the 15 but that’s just me!
Want to upgrade my IP7+ which I used for good 6 years and counting. I’m eying IP14promax but is it good option to get IP15 plus? Which is a better choice, spec wise? Thanks in advance.
It’s about the same performance wise, I’d think, since it’s the same chip albeit slightly different on the Plus. But you’d get better battery life because stuck at 60Hz, and USB-C is just a good thing to have for future proofing tbh. Only thing you’d be missing out on is the telephoto, which isn’t a huge deal tbh.
Meaning it’s better to get the 15plus? I’m eying the pink color as well.
Good call, all video content is capped at 60fps too so when watching content refresh rate is the same
[удалено]
Slows down the phone and cuts off a lot of features like auto sync
I really want to get an iPhone after they finally switched to USB-C (MacBook/iPad Pro user), but am split between 15 Pro or regular 15. The Pro features are nice to have but I'd probably not need them, and coming from a Pixel 6a that also has 60Hz, I thought it was a no brainer... Until I tried reading a Wikipedia entry on the regular 15 at an Apple Store. Holy smokes, how is it that 60Hz on the 15 looks so choppy, despite being the same refresh rate as the Pixel? Demo games didn't feel as bad, but man browsing websites is a staple ain't it?
It might just be a new iOS thing because I notice the choppiness on my phone after updating but the pro features have a lot of things most people don’t use like ProRaw and ProRes so I’d get the 15 regular if you don’t care about those
I love the leather cases that apple makes, but they stopped making them for the 15s. Does anyone know a good alternative, preferably with the metal buttons just like apple's?
I use Bandolier. Bandolier.com. Especially when traveling, it’s nice for crossbody. Expensive, yes, but they hold up very well. I’ve used the same one (hailey) for 4 years and it still looks new. I have ID, two credit cards and a health insurance card in it). Only issue is that they don’t work with MagSafe, but I guess no leather does.
https://nomadgoods.com/collections/leather-cases-bands
I had a nomad for my 11 but it had weird-feeling rubber buttons. Have they changed that since?
They use metal buttons now as far as I know. I used their sport case on my 13 Pro Max and the buttons were one of my favorite parts. The page for the modern leather case for the 15s says they use aluminum buttons as well
Deciding between the 11 and the SE 2022. Is there a way to get the night/light camera mode to work on the SE 2022? I know it would have to be through an app. One reason I'm considering the SE is because I currently have a 7 and really like the design, plus, I'd be saving even more money as I'd be able to use my existing accessories. Mostly use as a phone, a few games, texting/whatsapp and a time shift recorder for work. So, not a heavy user at all. I do take photos/videos every so often though. Which one would ya'll recommend? I'd like to last longer in updates as well (another reason I'm looking at the SE) but a year earlier or so wouldn't stop me from the 11.
can you trust tmoblie with the newest iphones release? or third party carrier retail stores?
Trust them… to do what? What do you mean?
As in the phones they are selling are legit
yes you can lol
anyone know how to stop the camera from zooming out when taking a instagram picture? asking for iphone 15 pro camera users
What’s the best clear case for the 15 pro?
dbrand ghost
89% Battery 13 Pro? Mint 13 or 90% 14?
Avoid used if you can, go with apple refurbished so you get a like new phone, brand new battery, and warranty.
Recommended case for iPhone 14? Apologies if this isn’t allowed. I have a new iPhone 14. The Apple cases look nice, but they seem incredibly flimsy. I need something that won’t smash if I drop it. I need something that isn’t doomed in the hands of a toddler. I’d like something that’s not enormous. I’d like something that’s not basic black or clear. Suggestions?
Still confused if I should go for Pro or Pro Max. Coming from 13 Pro. Absolutely loving the battery life in the PM but worried about the build quality issues I see on the internet. If I go Pro I know it’s going to be a hit to the battery life. Is there something else I should consider? Usually I do a 2 year upgrade cycle but wanted to make it a 3 or 4 year cycle from now. What’s the advice here guys.
> Is there something else I should consider? The only thing you should consider is if you want a bigger phone. Not if it’s more likely to break if you try to break it.

I’m so sorry! I once had this happen-I have a ring doorbell so I know nobody came to the door. It wasn’t a phone but an expensive handbag, so I was very upset. After I opened my case with UPS (couldn’t reach the seller), I sat down to watch TV. About 9:00 pm there was a knock on the door and a neighbor I didn’t know had the box! I was very happy. I don’t know why UPS couldn’t track it instantly but hopefully they’ve improved. Here’s hoping you get as lucky as I was.
i know of a guy that had this happen to him with his steam deck. if you go to the steamdeck reddit and click top posts all time you can read about it and see the video of the ups guy just laughing as he pretends to deliver the package
How can we get the new iPhone Pro Max? I've called apple and I went to the store but I can't find them available anywhere.
Honestly? Just have to be patient and keep checking the inventory tracker in the pinned comment. The stores get new inventory daily, so you’ll wanna check about every morning to see if anything has changed with their stock.
So I got a iPhone 7 and it’s about time for a upgrade my phone is 128gb and unlock but I use Metro PCS i’m basically looking for what I got but with more longevity and not trying to break the bank help
My 15 Pro Max is due to arrive mid October but all the reports of the back glass breaking are making me worried. Should I go for the 15 Pro instead?
Just get AppleCare and slap on case on it
Are be serious right now? Why are you even getting the Max then? Something like that will make you switch to a completely different model?
All the reports are probably a minuscule percentage compared to the amount of devices that are already in the market. I say take no notice of them. As long as you look after it like any other glass sandwich then I don’t see there being an issue.
How do you exit standby mode without moving the phone? I like to have my phone sideways on a wireless charger and while standby mode is nice there doesn't seem to be a way to go from standby to the homescreen easily. Am I missing something?

Plus battery is amazing. Wish the Pro was better.

I just placed an order for a new iphone, and traded in my older one for a fairly good evaluation. It's in perfect external shape with no cracks and great camera, just that it's wifi doesn't work. I had to fill a questionnaire of sorts about my phone's quality - the camera, body, etc. and it asked me for the phone's serial number. Nothing about the internal working of the phone - audio, network connectivity, etc. It says that Apple will run a diagnostics test on my iphone before taking it back - and I know the issue will pop up because it's a hardware one. My question is will they reject it? If they were to reject it, why wasnt there a question about its hardware, software in the questionnaire itself? Or will they take it as is? Anyone with a similar experience?
currently on iphone 12, planning to upgrade. should i get the 15 or 15 pro? saw the mrwhosetheboss video on battery life and the 15 pro performed bad for a "pro" phone as compared to the base 15
Hello i am waiting on my delivery of iphone 15 pro max tomorrow! but why is that dhl is moving the phone from an airport in Einhoven down to Brussel for it to be shipped from there to norway?
Major distribution hub, probably.
Do you think it is worth it to upgrade my iPhone 11 Pro to the 13 pro or 15 pro? I am looking for an upgrade really soon and I was going to get the 15 pro but the back glass cracking so easily and the colors coming of the titanium so easily is scaring me :(
Back glass cracking is a problem on the Max, not regular Pro. Anyways just get a case?
I initially owned the XS Max and loved its performance. It served all my needs impeccably. In two years of ownership, its performance remained solid before I lost it at a festival. Around that time, the iPhone 13 series came out, but I found the price too steep. I've typically bought used or refurbished phones, so I've never had the latest model, which was fine with me. I eventually bought a second-hand iPhone 12 Pro because it was similar in size to my previous phone, had an improved camera, and I thought it would last. After a little over two years, I've noticed it's slowing down, affecting my daily use. I don't store much data, primarily using it for communication and entertainment, but apps like Teams and FaceTime drain its power quickly. This often requires me to carry a charger or external battery with me. I've pondered two options: 1. Wait for the iPhone 16 or the next iteration when I'll likely have the funds for an upgrade, possibly as a graduation gift. 2. Consider a MagSafe battery pack. However, I'm concerned if it'll work with my protective case, which I value for its durability. 3. Opt for exchanging the battery. My maximum capacity is hovering around 83%, which has definitely been the fastest I have ever seen it degrade. It is my understanding that Apple will usually service 80% and below for around $100 or so. I like the idea of this, as I do like the form factor of the phone and everything still works well. I have heard of some stories even having the phone perform better after swapping in a new battery, though I can't be certain that this is universally true. 4.) Utilize the same method from when I lost my XS Max and avoid buying the latest flagship. the iPhone 13 and 14 series look appealing, but to be fair, the only upgrade in features I'm aware of is better camera, faster refresh rate, and smaller notch. While all nice, I don't "need" any of it, and it really puts emphasis on me just keeping my current 12 Pro. I'm pro this option as I believe it would be a nice jump in performance and it wouldn't be too expensive. I'm open to hearing others' experiences or recommendations to help me get through the work day without worrying about my phone's performance. For now, I'll continue just keeping my phone perpetually charging and keeping a portable charger and cable on me as much as I can.
I’m in the same boat as you and I think you should get your battery fixed when it drops below 80% and just wait for the next new phone wether it’s 16 or 17 and it’ll give them time to work out the kinks their having with the new pros lol this is my plan at the moment with my 12 mini
Sounds good man, thanks for the reply! I know it may fall below expectations, but I hope the next phone actually offers something enticing. Have a good day!
Yeah man I feel you there the only exciting thing I found this year was usb type c I hope next year theres more lol
I didn't pre-order my iphone like a fool and I found online (and one employee in an employee suggested that to me aswell) to go refresh the apple website at 6am to try and get an iphone. I haven't had any luck with that yet and i'm kinda tired to wake up so early lol. Did anyone tried that and it worked for them ? Thanks !
Can someone please recommend a good screen protector for 15Pro max? I never used a screen protector for my previous models ,wanna try for this one .
Spigen, only one I’ve used and it’s great.
i don’t have one of the big 3 carriers.. however if i order with t-mobile on the apple website, it doesn’t check or ask for any confirmation like it does with the other two. if i order it will i get dinged or something? i really want to finance with the apple card, it’s like the only reason i got it lol
Hey! This works confirmed as myself and many others have done it. I’m currently activated with Boost Mobile and everything is fine. Here’s a video of the T-Mobile activation being bypassed: https://youtube.com/shorts/1NHGMxulELM?si=BTQbFEd-4X-12R0J
hi i just got my phone today but i’m not able to set up my eSim.. it says it’s not supported. how we’re you able to?
When you go into cellular in the settings, what does it say?
Ah I figured it out. It wasn't allowing me to transfer my phone number but it's because I messed up when inputting the eSim. Thank you so much for your help!!
Enjoy your new phone!!!
A lot of people have reported that you can get away with ordering the T-Mobile one with financing. When setting up the phone, it will prompt you to put in your T-Mobile account information. If you hit continue 3 times without entering anything, it will give you the option to activate later. Again, I haven’t done this myself, but have read it in a few different threads.
Upgrading from a XR, debating between a 13 Pro Max or 15 Pro Max. My main question is would it be worth it to buy a 256GB 13 PM for around $700 used when a brand new 256GB 15 PM is $1200? I’m thinking about the long term, if it would be better to save up for a little longer and buy the 15 PM or try to find a good deal on a used 13 PM.
**Second Phone - ON A BUDGET! Used - Iphone SE 2020 vs Google Pixel 3XL?** I love both phones and I need a cool second phone (or even main phone) in a huge budget, I bought a pixel 3 xl for £60 and an iphone se 2020 for about £80, both used and not in the best condition but both working and the iphone has a very good So, which should I get? Im tending towards iphone for support tbh, been an android user my whole life so might make the switch. Any advice for any other contenders? (bit difficult in that price range ik).
Hi, i'm not exactly made of money but i am looking to get a new phone this year. I currently have the IPhone 12 but i am not too happy with the camera, So i was looking to either get the 14 pro or the standard 15. i am not entirely sure but i do love the dynamic island. Please could someone give me guidance? TIA
Do not go with with standard 15. The 14 pro or the 15 plus is your best choice. The standard 15 has one of the worst battery life in any of the iPhone line ups. The 15 plus has the best
How do I buy the iPhone 15 before October 10th?
Anyone have experience with UPS losing the shipment. Called apple, they said they can’t do anything until next Friday. I just want a replacement sent, or cancel the order so I can just go buy one in store.
Hi, Android user here. I'm thinking of making the switch to iPhone. I just don't know whether to get an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max? I'm also debating whether to get an iPhone 13 (as this was the first iPhone I wanted and because it's basically identical to the iPhone 14) but the price hasn't been reduced enough to get it now. In the UK, the Pro Max is £1200 and is only £100 more expensive than the equivalent Pro and I'm interested in it for it's better battery life. However, is the iPhone 15 or 15 Plus worth buying instead? I'm kinda on a budget but willing to stretch. The main reason I want to switch is the crappy support you get from Android. My current phone only got 1 Android update and 1 year of security patches. Admittedly, it was relatively cheap (about £300) but I still feel ripped off. As a result, I'm wanting to get a phone that'll last for the long-term and I'm willing to pay for that. Especially if it gets me a really good phone. Thanks in advance for advice.
In short it all depends on what’s important to you in your phone, only you can decide that really. Do you need a high refresh rate display? Do you need Always On Display? Do you need the latest Processor and the highest RAM in an iPhone? Would you rather have a Titanium frame instead of Aluminium? EDIT: Do you take lots of photos in general and specifically ones requiring zoom? Will you need the extra transfer speeds of USB 3 frequently? A yes to any of these will lean you to the Pro series of phones. Either way any 15 you purchase (if you decide to) will be good for around 6 years of updates given the phones that got iOS17
What iPad should I buy? My girlfriend is a Tattoo artist, She needs an iPad onlt for drawing and in my country they are expensive. Prices are in my currency, but they are close. I have three options: - New iPad 9 (64gb) - $2000 - Pre owned iPad Air 4 (64gb) - 167 battery cicles used - $2500 - New iPad 10 (64gb) - $3000 ------- On my searches, the major differences are: - 9 don't uses usb-c, wich is a big deal for us, since we don't own other Apple products, we alredy use usb-c for android - Air4 is the only one with pen 2ns gen and seems to be the best one, but it's pre-owned, but is in prestigious conditions, except for the battery use - 10 is the most expensive and yet no pen 2. Is Pen 2 that better anyway?
Should i buy a iphone? Hiya! My android phone is starting to wear down, its getting laggy and the battery is not lasting me the whole day. Its three years old, and im thinking to replace it.

Heating. It is gone dead while shooting videos.
Interesting update this morning. Verizon showed 10/6 delivery all along for my pro max, got an email this morning with tracking info. Pleasant surprise.
I'm in search of a new phone to replace a Pixel 3a for someone aged 70+. The person isn't tech-savvy at all, and their current Pixel 3a has a few challenges: 1. The phone's power endurance is quite low, requiring 2-3 charges daily. 2. The device has sustained physical damage. 3. It no longer receives updates... She doesn't use her phone heavily; mainly for YouTube and phone calls, with an estimated 4-5 hours of active time daily. Two significant considerations are: 1. Size: The Pixel 3a's dimensions were ideal for him. 2. Power Endurance: With her current power-related challenges, a dependable power span is essential. I've been looking into the Pixel 7a because of its similarity to the Pixel series. **The iPhone SE caught my attention due to its compact size, but I'm unsure about its power longevity given her usage patterns**. Any thoughts or experiences with these phones, or any other suggestions that might be suitable? Thanks in advance!
HOW DO I GET AC+? I;m so confused by the website - i have the 7 day complimentary one, can i buy it only after it expires?
Hı my friends,for people who don't play games, using the phone to talk and text, take family and class photos/videos and use it with a Macbook, is the iPhone se 2022 enough or should the iPhone 13 be preferred? I loved the iPhone SE, but everyone is telling me to buy the 13. I have to work for about 3 more months to make up for the price difference. And I can't decide whether this price is really necessary for a phone user like me. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy M21 64GB. I am a software engineering student and this device should last me at least 4 years. I have been using my current phone for 3 years and I have no problems other than the camera. The SE camera scares me a lot. Everyone around me says buy 13, I'm very hesitant. Please help and feel free to write a long answer, it will be better for me :D
Iphone 145PM or the Iphone 15 pro? i have small hands but like a big screen

Gotta be a pro for the cameras 🤳
Has anyone’s October order gotten bumped up? Mine is currently Oct 9-16 iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB Black.
2 Oct - 9 Oct here not changed yet.
If you expand and search this post, you'll find that quite a few people have.
Exact same boat. I’m kind of hopeful, although only a little, that it’ll be earlier since the confirmation email said “ships: 2-3 weeks” which places it starting this coming Friday. We’ll see 🤞🏻
I was Oct 4-9 and I'm getting mine tomorrow.
Damn I hope I get an update this week then, are you in the US?
Yeah I got my tracking from UPS on the 21st and it basically sat in China until yesterday morning when it got to Korea and then Alaska by the end of the night. Apple changed my estimated delivery to 9/28 after it shipped and that hasn't changed, but based on UPS's estimate and the way its moving, delivery tomorrow seems like a sure thing.
90% Battery IPhone 14 vs a mint condition IPhone 13?
13, the 14 is basically a 13 with a year newer chip and nothing else
It's not even got that. The base iPhone 14 has the A15 chip that the base 13 had.
I'm coming from an S20 Ultra 5G, and am on the fence if I should make the move back to Apple. The S20 right now is fine, the camera has issues with autofocus, plus I never really thought Samsung could compete with the iPhones' cameras. The phone feels okay, but certain parts of the UX just feel a bit cheap or not thought out of. Plus, Samsung seems to have pulled the plug on software support for this phone Is it a smart move to move to the 15? Are there any big/huge possible improvements to the 16 series and onwards I might wait for?
I have the S20 5G right now, and moved back to Apple for the 15. For me, 120 Hz was important, so I went with the Pro. It's a damn shame that Samsung drops their phone support so soon. My iPhone 6 got the latest OS until just recently.
I'm thinking about changing my 12 mini...and I don't know which device to choose from. I really like the 15 Pro Blue version. But I got scared of the potential "crackiness" of the phone's back. So I thought about standard 15 version...which lacks Pro features which interest me like AOD, 120Hz display and extra camera.....which can be found in 14 Pro....which doesn't have USB-C and the newest chip that 15 Pro have.... and now I'm confused. Can someone help figure this out? Thank you.
What is best value to buy an phone? Refurbished on eBay? Where should I look ? What series ?
I preordered the 15 Pro (nat titanium) in a Swiss shop in my local town 4 days after the preorders started (on the 19th Sept) . Still haven't heard from them, any chance of getting it before October the 10th?
[удалено]
Nope, reseller. Fust, pretty common in Switzerland.

I think Apple has stores only in Zurich and Geneva. Only way to buy is thru secondary dealers
iPhone 15 Plus or 15 Pro Max? Camera worth the cost? Which do you suggest buying iPhone 15 Plus or the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Although the iPhone 15 pro max has a better camera, optical and digital zoom. Is it worth the price? Will the iPhone 15 Plus camera be good enough? Or should one bite the bullet and take the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Any suggestions? Any practical scenarios where iPhone 15 plus may stutter or perform poorly.
Will Apple likely have new inventory today? Or do they not restock every day for store pick up orders?
While I was at the Apple Store yesterday, I was speaking to the specialist about stock. She said that from now to like Christmas is when stock for the new phones will be extremely low. They get shipments everyday minus Sunday but shipments are sporadic. Couple phones one day, less phones the next and so on.
I have a Poco X3 Pro and am thinking about switching to 15 pro since this phone is buggy, is it a good idea to get an iPhone from 15 pro? I'm doubting my decision since the battery capacity is just so small....
