I was gifted an iPhone 15 Pro, delivered yesterday morning, by yesterday evening it was being sent back (Network couldn’t sort out my contract).
But during this time I got to play with it, I was upgrading for an iPhone 11 (normal, not pro) and was so excited for the huge difference, but I just didn’t feel it?!
Do you feel you’ve had a big difference from your previous upgrade? I took the same photo on my 11 and 15th and unless you zoomed in, you couldn’t really see the difference. The sound quality on the 15pro I could hear every breath when recording and I also felt like white colours were ‘too strong’ on the screen making videos/photos feel fake on the 15 pro compared to read on the 11. Are you noticing any of these? Did I just not get to play long enough?
Upgrading from 7 to 11 felt HUGE and I was expecting that again, especially with this being a Pro model.

IPhones literally don’t change much from phone to phone lol
I’m going to turn on my own kind here (that’s a joke, I don’t have brand loyalty), and reveal that Android offerings are no longer far off from this.
The only exceptions I can think of are the folding phones, which are actually a pretty cool innovation (albeit somewhat niche still.)
I’m upgrading from the SE 2020 to the 15 Pro. I have a lot to look forward to!
I mean no matter how we see it or not the jump is huge from 11 to 15 pro… might not feel as it is but it is LOL
I wanted it to feel huge!
Then you need the pro max to be uuuge
How can the difference be huge if you can’t feel it?
Just trust apple that the difference is enormous : )
I mean, since you didnt pay for it what I could cost you to just keep it and use it
I couldn’t keep it, they couldn’t do my number transfer or anything so I’d have 2 contracts running, it has to be sent back because they wouldn’t help.
And therefore physical SIM cards are still nice. You just pop it in and it works.
That’s an American thing right ?
Here in Europe when we get a new phone we just pop out the SIM card and put it in the new phone
No, I’m in the UK 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve been with three for almost 10 years. Hubby brought me the phone contact as a gift, did it on his account.
They can’t switch my number over. Their only solution is me leaving them, paying the cancelation fee and going to another network and THEN porting my number back. It’s so much hassle and extra cost, so as we are within 14 days it’s being sent back.
Alr
But that guy said that Europe just needs to switch SIM cards.
It may have been better to change providers tbh. I was on O2 on my old phone. Then I decided to get the 15 Pro, but paying for it on contract, myself. Since I was setting it up in my own name, I just decided to change providers too, mainly cos of the price difference. So I was on O2, as I said. I looked at prices elsewhere though, and it ended up being way cheaper on Sky Mobile. Even though every phone before this had been with O2, changing providers was less of a hassle. Yeah, I had to wait 2 days for them to change my number over, but I’ve had less problems since I switched, than I had before. That was a bit of a ramble, I apologise😂
Try to clap at America lol. We have eSIM motha fucka. We aren’t using a little needle to get out a little card anymore like you. Good try tho
You’re acting like esim is better when a SIM card is much simpler to transfer between phones. I remember when my mom’s phone died we just took the SIM card out and put it into an older phone as a replacement.
Also we don’t have bs like phones being locked to a specific carrier here because we just use SIM cards
It’s only locked if they don’t pay it off. Here we pay the phone off over 2-3 years and it’s added to your bill. Poor people who either fail to make payments try to sell their phone that they don’t own so it’s a pain for them. Rightfully so. Don’t let liberal Reddit determine how America is for you. They come on here because things aren’t going their way and they can find a bunch of other cry babies to cry with. Very cowardly behavior from the libs
Why tf are you linking this to politics ?
Esims are literally more restrictive than normal SIM cards in every way and the only advantage is “oh you don’t have to use the lil metal stick” lmao.
Nah bro. I can literally have a work and personal number on my phone at the same time.
Yeah I went into the store when I picked up my phone but it took 20 mins and my whole family walked out with iPhone 15’s for free after trading in out 13’s that we got for free after trading in our 11’s lol. You guys got carriers that will take your old iPhone and give you a free new one? But you guys got the convenience of swapping a sim haha
11 pro to 15 pro and sure, some things are a tiny bit nicer, not worth the cost though imo
I was upgrading from 6s to 13 mini… and it the best choice I made.
I went from an 8 to a 12 mini, that was a decent leap for me, I will definitely give it another year
When I went from 1 to 4 big difference. 4 to 6 another big difference. 6 to X yet another huge difference…but X to my current 13 pro was not a huge difference but certainly noticeable performance wise.
I went from a 12 mini to 15 pro max. Massive improvement in camera, battery, speed, and size. Really enjoying it so far.
I went from the second gen SE (basically a 5S) to a 12. That was worth double the price
I’m surprised you didn’t notice the high refresh rate (ProMotion). That’s probably the biggest thing my 14 Pro offered me over my XR
I went from SE the first one to 13 and the difference insane
I went from 7 to 11 pro max, left that on the roof of my car and drove off. Replaced it with 12 pro max. Waited til usbc came to iPhone, and upgraded to 15 pro max. The upgrade between each is astonishing to me every time.
The smallest incremental difference being 11 pro to 12 pro. Just slightly larger cameras and square edges.
You’ve gotta wait a good 5 generations these days. Still love my 13 pro
When i went from a 4S to a Xs Max i felt everything. But from Xs Max to 14 pro. Nothing but just a phone with a bit better camera and nothing else. Maybe the 120hz screen
