Upgraded to the iphone 15 Pro

IMG_6844.jpeg

It’s been a while since I got a new phone I had the iPhone 11 Pro so it was about time for an upgrade. We got an email saying we could get free iphone 15 pros this weekend which was pretty awesome since the phone just released. We decided to take up the offer and upgrade.

We decided to go with the 128GB model. We spent a hour in the store trying to get our plan updated. After fending off all of the up sells we were happy to get the phones home and to start trying them out.

I’m impressed with the upgrades below is the advertised specs which are far better than my old phone.

High Level Specs

  • A17 Pro chip with 6-core GPU
  • 48MP Main camera 3x or 5x Telephoto camera Ultra Wide camera
  • Up to 29 hours video playback
  • Weight: 6.60 ounces (187 grams)
  • Super Retina XDR display 6.1‑inch (diagonal) all‑screen OLED display 2556‑by‑1179-pixel resolution at 460 ppi
  • ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz

The performance, camera and color are all very noticeable improvements. My old phone was struggling to keep up with newer apps and the camera was very good but the new camera is light years more advanced. Another feature I have not been able to fully utilize is the longer battery life. I’m hard on batteries and my old phone barely made it through the day.

Example of new camera quality

Due to the new design we had to get new cases and screen protectors which was not cheap, but the newest generation of Otterbox cases feel even more rugged than the ones from a few years ago. Apple has made the data transfer to new phones pretty easy it took about 30
mins of actual work and 2 hours to get everything transfer and connected. I forgot how much of a pain it is to have to resign back into apps. The process would have been much quicker if I could remember all my passwords. I even had to do about 20 apps worth of 2FA @bozz lol.

Overall, the phone has been pretty nice. I’m working though having the new action button and I have been watching some of the tips and tricks videos on how to optimize the new features.

That's pretty cool. I am more of an Android guy simply because I use Google stuff so much. The phone looks really nice. Let's be honest, the reason most of us upgrade these days is because of the camera isn't it? I like that my work pays for my phone so I don't have to go through all the hassle when I want to upgrade. I have three or four different authenticator's on my phone for different programs and different clients. I have a hard time remembering which ones are for what.

That's cool about the work phone my company offered but then I'd actually be on the hook for 24/7 access. I figured the extra $100 in savings would not be worth the extra time required. My wife had a android work phone and I will admit they tend to be ahead of apple, but apple makes a easy UI and beautiful phone.

I'm pretty much 24/7 anyway, so it wouldn't really matter I don't think. We might be moving to something like an allowance at some point. If that is the case then I probably won't be updating my phone as frequently as I have been. I'm looking at getting the new Google Pixel when it launches next Month.

Google makes good phones. My buddy works for them and has gotten me a ton of discounts. We looked at the original right as it launched and almost when that route. However we stuck with apple and now we are in the ecosystem so it's expensive to get buy all new tech.

Yeah, I hear you. I have had two or three Pixel phones and I loved them. I currently have a One Plus phone right now and it is a great phone, but I still miss my Pixel.

Congratulations on your new phone. I was happy when I upgraded my 7 or 8 year old phone almost a year ago and it felt way nicer. It's much faster and I don't have to worry about the battery as much. It was a more painful process for me though because the transfer app couldn't transfer everything for me.

Most of the time I just sit down and wonder how their technicians manage to produce iPhones and it will be perfect. Congrats bro, it's not easy, I know it costs much.
