The 11 to me is not a worthwhile upgrade, mainly because the 12 adds 5G into the mix. I was considering a cheap 12 Pro Max as an upgrade from my 8 Plus (that I recently dropped and cracked the screen), until I found out they don’t have ProMotion display. Apple really needs to make their standard iPhone at least 90Hz, with the 120Hz saved for the Pro. It’s one of the main things that makes tech feel fast and premium, and even some budget Androids have moved up from 60Hz now.

[@leelanzini]

@@jernaugurgeh451 I agree. The 5G and OLED display make a huge difference. Aw that’s a shame about your 8 plus. If you didn’t, be sure you have a case and screen protector on. They really can save you. I heard the iPhone 16 lineup may bring promotion to every iPhone 16. But not official yet

@@leelanzini I’ve always used magnetic book style cases, so never bothered with a screen protector, and never got a scratch on it in 4 years. But the folding front cover of the one I am using got really worn and ratty, so I cut it off leaving just the protective plastic back cover. The crack I’ve got is big but really clean and I put a tempered glass screen protector on to make sure it doesn’t get worse, and it still works fine. I love my 8 Plus, and never understood the push towards getting rid of bezels, adding notches, and having rounded corners that eat into your screen display. Having a rectangle phone screen that is a standard 1920x1080 resolution is just perfect to me. And a physical Home button and bezels I can grip when i turn the phone sideways? **chefs kiss**

[@karben.91]

I've watched probably 30 different tech KZbinrs talk about iPhones in the past week since the event and not a single one has given the sensible rational advice you have in this video, most people should be considering the 13 and the 15. So many people have recommended moving from the 14 pro to the 15 pro or whatever other nonsense, I guarantee the majority of people who buy the pro iPhones will never use the extra features, they just want an expensive toy. In fact I bet if somebody swapped the cameras and the processor of the iPhone 15 pro with an iPhone 12 pro 95% of their users would never notice the difference.

I don't understand why so many people like the popping colors. I find the new pastel colors way nicer, plus the frosted glass is just superior to the glossy one not only aesthetically but also because of the fingerprints.

To be honest the main thing I'd recommend today about the 15 would have to be longevity. While Apple has no issue selling the 3 year old 13 that works well now, it'll probably last less time compared to the 15 due to software support- though it might get an extra year due to the 14 having the same processor.

[@bigredii2253]

15 is worth the extra 200 for future proofing

[@MorbidGod391]

I honestly think the best idea for them to bring the “Mini” back is to make the iPhone 16 start at a 5.7 inch screen size. And the iPhone 16 Plus 6.68 Inch screen size. This way people who get the regular won’t know it’s “mini” and think “Hey this is the new normal”. And if they want a bigger phone they can get the Plus model - which would be basically an inch larger. Because I wonder if it was a mind game as to why the mini failed. Maybe people thought “Oh it’s mini it’s cheaper and the regular is better!” And the plus currently isn’t that much larger so people be like “Ummm why should I spend more for something that’s not even an inch bigger.” So this gives two phone sizes - smaller and larger - on the “regular” side. Drew - I truly hope Apple listens to this comment and makes this a thing for you!!! I’m just gonna stay with my 15 Pro for three+ years and see what happens then!!!

I dont really get people if you have a 13 or 14 and u You want a 15pro man just for the 48 megapixle just use that money to buy a real camera 📷

[@tallefjant]

The iPhone 13 mini is probably THE best iPhone. In terms of that it follows Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive's vision of a small internet communicator device with a "Infinity pool inspired display"

[@goneghosted]

Apple probably took away the 13 mini not only because of poor sales, but maybe because that new iPhone SE is coming with the body of a mini. Just my prediction and speculation.

[@ProPrince]

i think the new se will be built like the xr

[@jonatanjakobsson5821]

When I got my 14 Pro Max I thought that I would use the Dynamic Island a lot more but I rarely press it. So it feels like the Dynamic Island has been over hyped. But of course, I never had any problems with the notch.

Do iphones usually go down by 100$ when a new one comes out?

[@gnaneshwarrao174]

I like the personal touch you gave in your video about being responsible with money while buying these products and also about features that Apple tries to plant in our heads. I really liked your review. Thanks for the information!

Upgraded from iPhone 6S to the 13 earlier this year and my life has changed beyond reason.

[@YetAnotherGeorgeth]

I still have my iPhone 12. I was thinking of getting a 15 pro max because I wanna flex but I might consider the 15 regular. I only want to upgrade because the battery on my phone isn’t great at health percentage of 82%.

[@redeem5858]

Cause u want to flex?

[@lifeisshørt_420]

if your battery health isn’t good then just replace the battery you don’t need a whole new phone

The fallacy of future proofing is that you can never future proof. It's always changing and something new common out. Keep what you have for as long as you can. Then buy the best you can afford.

[@coolfool183]

"keep what you have for as long as you can. then buy the best you can afford." that is future proofing. it is getting the product that minimizes the chances of becoming obsolete within a certain time, ie getting the best for your money at the time

[@alexisaguirrevideos]

@@coolfool183 I think he’s just saying that future proofing is a paradox

[@fran2911]

@@coolfool183 Most people update because they want to, not because they NEED to, therefore futureproofing is mostly bs in this particular case.. I have an iphone 11, a phone that came out in 2019, I can still see myself using it for another two years, other people would've updated to a pro max because of the cameras, battery, size, there's always a reason..

[@CS-pg4go]

Isnt future proofing as simple as buying a 256gb storage now instead of a 128gb variant to "future proof" yourself down the line?

[@full_metal2452]

If your the type of person trying to save money get the top of the line model no sooner than every 4 generations. Save up during that 4 years and buy outright. All the talk of going with the cheap model makes little sense.

[@dboymc81]

I’m looking at the 15 from an XS. But the only thing that’s holding me back is. Is the 15 market research on the USB C 2.0. So what’s the chances next year the base models get USB 3.x spec USB C port. Is that a fair question, or 100% no chance 2.0 is here for the next couple of years on base models. Cause I’d be kicking myself if next year seen an upgrade.

[@alanzemsky7695]

Great video! Is the battery life better on the 15 compared to the 13? Do you notice a difference?

[@dummy8698]

Saw a video comparrison of battery lifes of a bunch of apple phones. The regular 13 held out pretty well, I think it had a little over 7 hours of battery life compared to the 15 pro which has the longest battery life, I think it was only about an hour longer. BTW these numbers come from having the phone on for the entire time so 7-8 hours really will last the entire day. Both phones have very good battery lives but the 15's have a slight margin compared to the 13's. Still would choose the 13 IMO.

[@camillehuyo-a6379]

Same here ive never owned an iphone, thinkin about buying 13

[@hk.a.4818]

thanks for the info. I am about to buy new phone but couldnt decide which should I get. I am between 13 and 15.

Does the iPhone 15 have a worse ultra wide than the 13 pro? I’m thinking about an upgrade but I’m tempted to go with the regular phone

[@ThulaniNkosinathi-jv8rh]

We are in the same page about the minis... Those😂😂 were the most amazing than any other phones... Imagine a small phone like that with so much "power", even when you are dressed to kill they dont get on your way ruining your outfit...

[@addict8229]

Exactly!!!! The audio is clipping like mad. Please fix your audio settings.

[@tylerbarr6159]

My prediction is that the next SE comes in the mini chassis. I think that may be why they killed the 13 mini now. and honestly, that'd be sick. But this purely my hopeful prediction based on nothing :P I've loved my 13 mini, but my 15 is already on pre-order.

[@MostafaAhmed-dg5ml]

Does the brightness make that big of a difference in real life

[@CalvinInLondon]

Thank you. This video helped out a LOT. I've been stressing over if I want a 14 or 15 and this helped give clarity! I'm subscribed to a LOT of KZbin Tech channels now bc it's tech season but I'll be unsubscribing from a ton afterwards but will stay here. Thanks for your focus on what the average consumer needs.

Currently having 11pro, some heating occasionally, battery efficiency getting worse, reception is bad. And no 5g Only good thing I like is the camera Is it worth upgrading to iPhone 13?

[@bigredii2253]

Do the 14 at minimum.

[@little.prince]

They discontinued the 13 mini?🥺

[@warrengaskin3863]

If it was possible to put a 3X or even a 2X optical zoom camera on the Mini instead of the ultra wide I think it would have sold much better, I had the 12 Mini and loved that little phone but Verizon made me an offer I couldn’t refuse to upgrade to the 14 Pro. To me the only real advantage the Pro has over the Mini is the 3X camera, sure the Pro has much better battery life but that doesn’t mean much when you can slap a MagSafe battery pack on the back of any iPhone. The Promotion display on the Pro is nice but it’s not a must have feature

[@seanchaney2546]

The mini is just too small for the optical zoom. They might be able to fit 2X but it’s just the size that makes it hard.

[@fandirahmanhidayat3060]

will the black and blue titanium chipped and show the natural color of titanium after drop?

[@ditroia2777]

You can get an iPhone 14 Pro on sale for $150 more than a non pro 15 in Australia, and I expect the price to drop further.

[@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup]

I am thinking of doing an iphone 13 and apple watch ultra 2 (and leaving my phone in my car / bag) a lot of the time. Don't hop on the foldable life. The inner screens still aren't durable long term (fold 4) and its not ready yet as a technology.

[@halami2149]

I still stand by the fact that 6 GB ram makes a huge difference over 4. Unless you close your apps all the time 🫠 The 12 pro and newer have 6, the 14 and newer have 6. That’s one thing 14 has over 13. But then again, 12 or 13 pro would suffice over a regular 14 sooo 🙃

[@acranston9818]

I don't agree, but to each their own. Sure, having more ram might be nice if you're particularly heavy on multitasking, but it should never be the main deciding factor. Refresh rate, display, battery, and camera improvements are much more important and noticeable than ram.

[@halami2149]

@@acranston9818 I was constantly waiting for my apps to reload, at work. People waiting on me because I’m trying to look something up, but the low ram made it force closed. It was a frustrating every single day

@@acranston9818 I'd agree with most of that but refresh rate. I'll take more RAM over refresh rate any day. 120Hz is nice, but my 60Hz 12 Pro looks fine and feels smooth. I'd rather not deal with apps reloading all the time over a slightly smoother screen.
