If you were gifted the phone, what does it have to do with your network and contract? You simply swap your sim over to the new phone and keep paying your phone bill as normal
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
My husband gifted me the phone as in he brought a new contract including the phone because apple refused us credit for the first time ever.
My provider wouldn’t let me move my number with me and wanted to charge us multiple times for things. I tried everything, they didn’t want to help and said either go to another network or cancel basically.
I also upgraded from 11 to 15 pro this year and it didn‘t feel like a big upgrade for me too. Battery life is the biggest bummer. 15 pro has less battery life than a 4 year old iPhone 11 @ 85% capacity. >:
Better screen, better cameras etc are nice but not overwhelming these days.
I have a XR. It’s slowly getting more glitchy now that it’s in its final iOS upgrade cycle. I expect in about a year it will tend toward being too annoying for me. So I also expect to notice a difference when I upgrade, but largely because my old phone is losing utility.
My previous upgrade was 5c to XR. Major difference.
I had the same upgrade. 11 to 15 pro and everything was an amazing upgrade especially 120hz and just looks really good as a phone. Apart from the battery life im very satisfied with it.
tbf you only had it for 12 hours
It’s good you didn’t feel the difference as you save money without feeling left out or like you need something. Don’t hesitate to stick with your current device if you haven’t got much reason to do so
I went from Samsung Note 10 to iPhone 14 pro and it's such a massive difference. Love that I switched, it's so worth it.
Why do you already have a christmas tree, its not even december yet?!
so? What’s it to you?
Because I wanted some happiness in my life and tree light beings that. It literally affects no one.
November 24 and this guy has a Christmas tree .. ok
and? Why do you care?
Why do you care ? lol
People have theirs up at November 1st 12:00am lol
Coming from an IPHONE 11 PM TO 15 PM. As I don’t notice a lot of change except the big obvious ones like straight edges. Smaller bezels, and the dynamic island. I replay appreciate the 120hz. It just feel smoother, and more “pro”. I think it’s awesome and I love it. But a bit overkill for my needs.
It's an iPhone. They're known to have very minimal upgrades with each model.
I miss my mute switch, to be honest. I’m hoping the action button gets some sort of update where you can press once, or double press for other actions. But the higher refresh rate and the amazing cinematic mode is what I’m absolutely loving. ( Upgraded from an 11 )
I went from iphone 11 to iphone 15 pro. Usage wise almost no difference. Photo/video wise it's noticeable.
Upgraded from XR. Definitely didnt wow me like it did when I upgraded from 6s to XR
These things are very over powered for what most people do with them, and that’s been true for a while. Remember Deep Blue, the supercomputer IBM made to play chess against Gary Kasparov? iPhones have had more processing power than that for so many years I can’t remember how long it’s been true.
Unless you want to use a new feature (and there aren’t a lot) or do some really demanding gaming, or need to send an emergency signal by satellite if you’re out of cell range (that was new in the 14), you can use an iPhone for 5 years or more without missing out on anything.
Bro it’s November, why the Christmas tree?
Once my 8 couldn’t receive OS updates anymore I got the 15PM. Every. Single. Thing. Is better. Feels like a reinvention of the smartphone.
No idea why but the iPhone 11 always forget it exists
Coming from a 13 PM, the camera on the 15 PM is a huge improvement, and as a creative I appreciate this. The phone overall seems to have regressed, unfortunately, with weaker battery life and a processor that struggles to keep up with the camera’s power features. And the titanium makes the device feel cheap even though it’s a premium material. The 13 PM felt heavy to me in a good way.
The iPhone 15s are nothing special if you already have anything above a 11 / 11pm
My cousin upgraded from an 11 to a 14 Pro when it came out and she said the exact same thing. She didn’t feel that much of a difference
I went from 7P to 15 pro and the difference is huge! Loving the experience so much
