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 went from an 11 to a 14 pro max and that jump was ridiculous. The picture quality is insanely better. Like, I thought of course it would be better, but it’s ridiculously better. The speakers are amazing. Hell, I used to always wear my AirPods or hook up a bt speaker but if I’m just in the kitchen or something I can use my phone speaker. The brightness on the 14 is also great. The most important thing is the battery which is light years ahead of the 11. Everything also runs smoothly and faster than my old 11. It’s blowing my mind you said what you said bc I did the same jump basically.

The picture quality is insanely better.

some of that is the sensor and some of that is the sharpening and de-noising algorithms as well as smart HDR. honestly most people like this but I am really disappointed that apple doesn't let us turn it off.

I believe you can now in photos settings. There is a smart HDR toggle. Sadly, find the photos too much with HDR on and the image quality too low with it off. Wish they improved the camera rather than the editing.

This is only true if you have an iPhone 12 or earlier. Do you? 13 onwards removed smart HDR toggle

Nope, and I changed the setting last week. Believe it was released in the most recent update.
