I recently got myself an iPhone 15 Pro, coming from the 14 Pro Max. I love how light and portable the phone is, with addition to USB-C, Action Button, 8GBs of Ram, and Good Camera.

Besides the good stuff, I feel that we have hit a slow incline of improvements and excitement starting from the iPhone 6, IMHO.

I upgrade every year based on my undying love with tech, so that might be why I feel underwhelmed, but I just don’t feel that we can ever hit that WOW factor anymore.

My first excitement was upgrading from the iPhone 3GS to 5. That was huge. And then as time goes, I lost that excitement factor as I upgrade from the 6 to 7, 8 Plus to 13 Pro, 14 PM to 15 Pro.

I may be going crazy, but I was thinking of returning my iPhone 15 Pro and get the iPhone 13 or 14 regular and wait for whenever the iPhone gets a major overhaul with its hardware. That way I can get that feeling of excitement again.

Am I the only one who is thinking this? Besides that, I am very happy with my iPhone 15 Pro, just not as excited as I was anymore.

    I’m the same way. Upgrade every year because I love tech and thankfully can do so, but I feel smartphones have peaked. I have the 15 Pro as well and I think I’m good for 2-3 years now. There’s just no justification on a yearly cycle anymore. How much faster can the phone get? How better can the camera get? It’s overkill.

        Nah before 120hz iPhones were decidedly behind in flagship features, it was ridiculous it took so long and its probably the most noticeable change to an iPhone since the X, everyone who uses my phone comments on how much smoother it is.

          Of course, most “average Joe” iPhone users don’t have a Pro model, so it’s immediately noticeable.

          Even an iPhone 13 Pro is going to look better than an iPhone 15 in this regard.

          Ah yeah, you’re right. But since then, everyone has been saying that!

      I’m looking forward to one of those mobile devices that can project screens into the air and be fully useable. A device that can write my thoughts without having to type into the screen, preferably controllable through my mind too
