Apple iPhone Pro

“GSM Arena tested the Oppo at 15:45 hrs battery life and the iPhone at 19:20 hrs.”

“Essentially I'm using iPhone as a thin client to visit a true linux development machine”

“The Face ID bug that caused a reboot on iPhone 18 pros was a clear example that they put little quality control into software.”

“Recently refreshed the battery in 15 Pro for $60 and the phone feels new again.”

“The amount of post-processing in them makes them look fake, like somebody took a photo of the background, and then photoshopped the subject on top of it.”

“the arbitrary part of the face of the girl in front is literally blurred, which happens neither to the other parts of her face”

“the 40+ hour battery life AND the adjustable aperture on the camera are, by themselves, making me consider it”

“longer battery life if the main benefit nearly every user experiences and appreciates”

“Sadly my 14 pro has a crack in the lower right screen, and the tele lense has some issue with fixing lens position / focus”

“Battery is still okay-ish on mine. Not good, but I don't have to actively worry about it.”

“My three-year-old iPhone 15 Pro is still worth $500 or more on the open market”

“At first there were several small layout / UI bugs that came from turning liquid glass off. But it seems fine now.”

“It’s a good feature but many popular services apply metadata stripping and basic image adjustment before resharing.”

“zoom camera, which has unexpectedly become one of my favourite and most used features”

“there is quite literally nothing in the 18 Pro that makes me want to upgrade”

“Where the line was crossed was magic eraser and reframe where the iphone is straight up making objects in the image.”

“so it's great that the final holdout has capitulated, though with its own set of nonstandard tools”

“Oh that's nice. I'd always see guides talking about glue with the screen and kinda spooked me out of it.”

“They designed it so the back plate gets removed to open the phone rather than the screen.”

“we can simply prove it was original by verifying unforgeable signature made by a camera”

“In terms of hardware that is pretty much everything I wanted other than Silicon Battery.”

“Still lasts all day and then some, rarely think how much I've got left on a charge.”

“the telephoto on the iPhone Pro Max models has gotten significantly better in the 2.5 years since mine was released”

“Literally nothing has made me feel the slightest craving for a new iPhone since getting my 15 Pro Max.”

“on iPhone 12 Pro Max and later (maybe only on Pros, I forget) they have a LiDAR sensor built in”

“My iPhone 15 Pro Max is more capable than a MacBook Neo; it'd be nice if it could be one.”

“My iPhone 15 Pro Max is in dire need of a battery replacement, at 82% after only 714 cycles.”

“I got my 17 Pro ($1100) from ATT for free which is almost twice the cost of the phones back then”

“I daresay the iPhone 17 Pro is a compelling enough upgrade, hardware wise. Not much innovation, but their phone hardware is very usable.”

“got scratched/cracked within weeks of me getting it when none of my other iPhones ever had any screen issues”

“The latest iPhone takes shockingly good photos. It's not a full frame mirrorless by any stretch, but it's really in another league when it comes to mobile photography.”

“the quality of photos with my 15 max is great compared to newer and simpler models”

“Performance nosedives, then it starts bootlooping randomly, and eventually you can't even delete stuff because there's no space to delete things.”

“the latest iOS and iPhone 17 Pros being some of the shittiest, laggiest, lowest quality smart phones ever made”

“The iPhone pro max cameras offer more physical options that I actually take advantage of”

“My iPhone 14 Pro has 35Gb of "system data" which has basically filled up the entire storage I had left”

“Constantly lagging and locking up in preparation for another transparent animation that absolutely no one asked for.”

“going back to the smaller iPhone after being on the OnePlus for awhile, there's not really an adjustment”

“Phones like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung S26 Ultra often outperform high-megapixel devices”

“voice to text is slightly more annoying, I would hope that in this world of AI that Apple would improve their voice to text”
