Oh okay. I’m definitely a point and shoot kind of photo taker, and my phone is it, so I want to get the best pics I can with the least effort. Just wanna be sure there’s not something I need to pay attention to.
Always had pro iphones (not the pro max) until now when I got the 15 plus - really pleased with it getting used to larger size and longer battery. Really cannot see difference in screen camera and everything else. Do miss the macro though but in practice the plus doe ok for close ups of plants which is what I would take close ups of

Also don’t really notice weight difference between 15 pro and 15 plus after a few days as the plus feels better in my hands

I know we use the phone looking at the screen but that bump is awful.

Im also tempted to get an SE 😁 I found and old iphone 7 on my desk and turned it on… what a nice form factor!

Honestly the SE is a fun little phone to use. I have bought a couple for my grandkids, and I passed one down that I used for a while. I think it’s just that familiarity, and honestly I was loving the fingerprint! I didn’t even fully mind that small screen, but gosh I couldn’t type on it at all.

Still when I pick up one of the grandkids’ phones, it feels like nothing in my hand and I always love it for a minute. ;-p

I have a coworker that’s using one of the SEs and after using a pro max for the last year it looks comically small. Even better, I picked up my display iPhone 4 yesterday and chuckled. It’s hard to imagine using that thing for daily browsing/texting/shooting photos.

Oh how far we’ve come in ten years.

We are buying a 15 coming from a 14 pro. Honestly the pro features are really not even in the equation for us. I’m with the masses walking in the Palo Alto store and walking out with funky and awesome iPhone 15 colors. Funny how Apple can tout this feature or tag pro feature but many people just look at the color and love the pink or the blue/white color, or green. I’m guessing black 15 will be least popular color it’s so boring.

Guess again. It’s the only 15 color for a dude and its deep black hue and gloss finish looks great in a black case. I’ll bet you anything it’s the best selling single color of any iPhone this year.

The pink almost sucked me in (or the blue). In the end the only feature that kept me on the pro is the macro photography. Honestly I don’t use it THAT much, but I like having it when I want/need it.

Lol. Guess again. And yes, black is boring AF. Sporting a green Plus myself, and I'm definitely a dude, lol. The subtle pastel colours this year look great for sure.

My wife has the pastel blue, my daughter the pastel green. They love how it matches their skirts.

We are buying green. I used macro on my 14 pro like 1x lol. I’m thinking you know what I’ll stick with my 13 mini 512gb so I can keep my dog videos lol.

I am really tempted to get the 15 (I have the 14P),

If I do it I guess I will regret it 🤣

Well you can always torment yourself over your decision. I can show you how to do that. ;-p

Even though I got the regular pro, and it’s great, seeing all the fun colors makes me wish my phone had a fun color.

Chargers ? Not even close

I love that blue also. It’s so subtle it’s almost white, but I love it.
