The only ‘new’ feature that would excite me enough to buy an iPhone 15 is USB-C (www.youtube.com)

That seems like either I’m 100% satisfied with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I have reached my peak cell phone feature set, or the iPhone 15 just is not very enticing of a purchase, especially considering the considerable cost.

The only thing I was hoping for in the 15 was a mini model. I'm on a 14 pro now but I still miss the size of my 12 mini

I went from an 11 pro max to a 13 mini last year because I was sick of having a brick in my pocket, and I feared that the 13 mini would be the last small non-budget phone. Hopefully Apple will go back to making small phones, but in the meantime, I will be hanging on to my 13 mini for as long as I can.

Any battery issues?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The 14 Pro's battery is the best of any phone I've owned. Easily lasts me all day with usually 40% left when I go to bed.

The 12 Mini's was decent enough. It would nearly always last until around when I went to bed but would sometimes die and need recharging before if I was using it a lot

Honestly though, I'd give up the longer battery life for a Mini sized 14/ Pro

I was similar with the s22 small but upsized for the battery and stylus. I still love the feeling of a small phone in pocket and in my hand ):

14 pro also, battery has been fantastic for my style of usage.

Yes!!! It is terrible!! Barely last a day with moderate usage.

Overall very disappointed in the 14 pro, it is slower than my Samsung s10+. Half the time when I unlock the screen it won't respond for a minute or 2. Apple says everything is fine with it.

As. Comparison. Samsung s22 ultra streaming music, watching hours of videos, navigating for hours. Will still be 50% after 12hrs of heavy use.
