I’m with you 100% OP

I just returned my MacBook Pro M3 because I couldn’t stand the typing experience compared to my MBA M2 13”.
Also, I’m so use to the form factor of the air that I’m willing to work around the screen and lack of ports.
Launch Day 15 Pro here…
I have been utterly impressed with this phone. It’s been an absolute workhorse for my day to day life. I previously came from an iPhone 13 mini and the phone feels “just right”.
Yes, my phone overheated a lot for the first few weeks when using it for simple things. Apple did quickly address these issues with iOS 17.0.3.
The 120hz screen has been a joy. Apple iOS makes a 60hz panel look really smooth but I was pleased with how good this panel is.
The camera has probably been my favorite thing about it this phone. I work in aviation and LOVE to take photos. I have a Canon DSLR camera that I typically use for my airplane photography. This phone has replaced my DSLR on planes that are within 77m (3X lens) distance. Now, it will never fully replace my DSLR due to the fact I’m taking pictures of planes up to a 650mm length. The iPhone camera is good, but not that good haha!
The only negative feedback I have is the battery. I opted for 6.1 because I value the 3X lens more than 5X zoom and prefer the form factor. Now don’t get me wrong, the phone last me a full workday. If I go out and start taking a bunch of photos/videos, it kills the battery pretty quick. Look, I get the camera drains the battery pretty significantly but still. I’m always by a charger so I can top off when needed but I still wish apple have this thing a little more juice!
Sorry if there’s any typos. It’s 5am and I’m tired lol
Enjoy. What color did you choose?
