I have the iPhone 15 too. Totally understand not wanting to upgrade. Though I would say this is a rare year where upgrading from one generation to the next might be worth it. Apple Intelligence, Camera Control, Action Button, and skipping a generation on the processor (when will that ever happen again?!) actually make this one of the biggest jumps in a long time.
I can totally understand your point. Kinda like when the iPhone x came out. I guess i just look at it from the point of those features are now here and will be for the next few devices. So 16 or 17 you will still get to experience it ya know. Thanks for the awesome comment!!! 🙌🏾💯🫡
I am with you. I call what Apple is doing, the incremental drip. I have the 15 pro max and prior the 12. What is interesting, I too have the first use of Oct 2023 and at 97% and every video I shoot, is using the iPhone. Bananas!
You right about that drip! The iphone 15 promax has a big battery over my standard 15. So you’re doing awesome on battery life at 97%. While using it for every video you shoot. 🙌🏾💯🫡
I personally am perfectly content with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s my first ever iPhone, and unlike Android, it’s still working just fine all this time later. As I’ve had it almost a year and a half. I love my iPhone. I love the Apple ecosystem so much, I’m planning to get an Apple TV 4k and the new iPad with M4 processor.
@@JGibbsI’m getting the Apple TV 4k because I’m getting really sick of the BS with Roku. When Roku’s having problems with my apps, Apple TV’s are working perfectly fine. Also there are times when Roku adds something to my Home Screen without permission, one time even adding an auto sort feature, completely ruining my sorting. I had to take 10 goddamn minutes out of my day to put all my apps back where they were.
Not 10 mins to put all the apps back lol! You just cracked me up. I know that first hand dealing with roku. I like roku though. I have thought about the apple tv. I may jump on board soon myself.
I ordered the iPhone 16 pro max. I sending the pixel XL 9 back but with a heavy heart. I started using my iPhone 13 pro Max again and it is better with iOS 18 but I feel no excitement in using it. We see how I feel. I might need to sent it back and reordering the pixel XL pro 9.
Yea that pixel is probably the phone I would get if I didnt have an iphone. The promax has that awesome battery I assume, so thats a good choice. I know what you mean with the iphone and no excitement. Thats a huge part of why we upgrade to experience that new refreshed iPhone!!🙌🏾💯🫡
Thanks J! I agree with you on your decision. I always wait until there are at least two models ahead of what I have. That being said, I have the 13 Pro and I plan to upgrade. I’m just undecided whether or not to go Pro Max or Standard because I use my phone A LOT for filming. Mostly because of ease of access. That and I do not have really good lenses for my dslr yet. But the idea of saving money is definitely a factor. I have some thinking to do haha! As usual man.. Awesome video!
Saving money is always good. I think the pros are nice to have but I know for a fact the standard iPhones will be able to get it done. I can agree that if you use your iPhone for all your video and content then yes the pro would be a good investment to have for about 3 years.
Do you recommend getting applecare+? Also how much GB did you get with yours? I might purchase an iphone 15 tomorrow, just not sure what to put on it 😂
So I do recommend it. However, on my iphone I went with some care that At&t had but I always recommend some kinda of care just in case. I went with the 256gb and its more than enough storage. 🙌🏾💯🫡
Over 90% of us are on 2 year contracts with our providers to pay off our $1.5-2k phones. The only people who are upgrading from a 15 are people with too much money to care if it’s worth it. Compare the 14, not the 15. Honestly it’s only worth upgrading if you have a 13 or older. Dynamic island, always on display and more started with the 14
I totally agree with you! Even still the 14 pro is still a good option and if I was rocking that I would still be hesitant to upgrade. Thanks for the awesome comment! 🙌🏾💯🫡
Oh trust me I know it looks better. My pc monitor has a high hz and I love it. I just have started using my phone less and less for things that would make it a matter to me ya know. I think by the time the 18 comes out all the iphones will be at 120hz. 🙌🏾💯🫡

Same here

Apple been making the same products for 10 years, its only now that the bubble is starting to pop
I agree with you. For me I just treat these phones as tools to keep up with my day to day schedule. 🙌🏾💯🫡
U dont want 120 hz? Its so much better than 60
