Is it just me or has Apple lost its touch on being innovative? I just upgraded my X to 15P and I’m not impressed at all. It seems like exactly the same phone but just a better camera.

What am I missing other than the fat price tag I just paid for this lackluster upgrade so far?

If you don’t like it then return it simply

You’re comparing the X with the 15 that’s 5 generations worth of differences…

I think you should have bought the 15 Pro Max, the bigger screen definitely helps bring a noticeable change.

If you think X to 15p is a lack lust upgrade, maybe you should go back to a Nokia

The only downgrade imo from X->15p is the loss of 3D touch

Return it and buy a cheaper phone then.

Camera, processor, Dynamic Island, action button, iOS 17 off the top of my head

Next time you might want to watch and read reviews and see if it's worth it for you to upgrade. The 15 is a more capable device in every way, but if you don't need the extra power, that's on you

You have made this post 3 times now on the subreddit. If you're so mald about it, just go return it. No need to clog up our feeds

I think the real lack of originality are these types of posts 🙄.

No. It’s not that they lost their touch man, it’s that smartphones as a whole have peaked. There’s not much you can do to change or improve the current phones we have, the candy bar metal and glass sandwich phones are at a point where nothing is gonna change for quite a while besides internal specs and camera lenses. Foldables are okay but they’re far from being practical or durable enough to take the beating of everyday life and are meant for office workers that don’t have a spec of callused skin lol. It just feels like they’ve lost their touch cause it went from looking like the iPhone’s with all the thick chunky bezels, to having the notch and being more full screen, to now having no notch. Smartphones are at a stalemate right now and have little room to make anything drastically new or innovative until we progress further with technology as a whole. All the crazy phones you see trying to push the envelope the past few years all look tacky and weird and have features most consumers find useless, think of the Chinese brands here. We are basically just getting more refined versions of what we already have, with a processor bump up each year to keep the longevity and power factor the same for the same amount of years. Give it some time, once technology as a whole progresses and we discover some out of this world tech again, that’s when smartphones will change again. Right now it’s better to keep your iPhone for 3ish years and only upgrade for a fresh battery, and processor and camera improvements and software features. Your smartphone’s will remain stable is the good news.

Iphone 15 pro sucks. They fucked up big when they removed the mini from the line up. I hate big phones that cramp my hands. Apple has completely loss its touch. Steve Jobs wouldn’t have made a phone of this size or a camera bump that protrudes like a chode.

Going from an X to a 15 PM and you aren’t impressed?! I don’t believe you and something tells me you’re here just to trash Apple.

IOS is of course going to be the same, because Apple allows older phones to get support for so long which is a blessing, talk to android users. Up until a few years ago, You were lucky to get 3 years of Upgrades.

So yes, it may not seem like a big difference, but the hardware and quality most certainly is. If you can’t tell the difference in camera quality, battery life, display quality & build quality, then something tells me you’re not genuine.
