I have a 14 Pro and am literally about to ‘down grade’ to a 15 Plus.
i feel like the 14 Pro is too heavy for its size, and its crazy to think the 15 Plus is about the same weight, considering the other perks of bigger screen and battery.
my only slight concerns are lack of AOD and promotion, although feel like AOD is a battery hog (it’s nuked my 14P to the point I turn it off) and promotion is great but the 60hz on the 15’s is done well and more than tolerable.
i also like the finish on the 15s more than the 15 Pros - this maybe 12 months of enjoying something different before a possible return to the pros next year if they manage to wow me.
Also, im a hobby photographer, so have an expensive pro camera setup, so the latest camera buzz on the PM means less to me, as at the end of the day you cant compare the quality between the two.
Anyone else done a similar ‘down grade’ lol?
This is the exact thing my boyfriend did.
He got the 14 Pro alongside me last year, but overall wasn’t the most satisfied with it this time. He mostly had battery issues, and he’s also a casual user. Doesn’t take a lot of photos, doesn’t play high end games, isn’t really doing any filming, and genuinely tells me he can’t tell the difference between 60Hz on his iPad Air and the 120Hz on his 14 Pro.
He decided he wanted both a bigger phone and bigger battery, and really wanted the USB-C as well, so it was a no brainer. He also got to keep the dynamic island, which is one thing he did love about the 14 Pro.
It’s not really a downgrade when you lose features you don’t have, but gain the ones you do, you know? In his usage and needs, the 15 Plus is objectively better.
