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.
i wouldn’t call the island a gimmick as it’s not really lying to you about anything nor is it “trick” in the definition sense. I actually use it a lot and think it’s a smart way around just having a notch. I listen to music a lot though so maybe I just use it more than you.
True, thanks for your correction. I meant to say that it's really a gadget compared to other features (but then what is an iPhone...).
As a UX/UI designer I'm actually amazed at how smart and smooth it is; but I just don't find it useful because I'm usually using my phone either in apps, or on the locked screen. Although I use Spotify and Youtube a lot, outside of the app I mostly interact with them from the locked screen.
The one thing I really use the Island for is to end phone calls.
