That you don't get more out of the new phone compared to the old is a measure of how you use the phone, not of its capabilities.
Pro = best of camera, battery, body and all other functionalities
do you feel that way about the way your car looks? Since it takes you where you need to go then the color, shape, size and aesthetic shouldn’t matter to any one?
The evidence lies in the fact that technology should advance not move backwards. What’s so new or different about the internals of the 17 pro from the 16? Were titanium iPhones recalled? Did any one ever have any actual issues with their titanium iPhones overheating? lol @ “there is no evidence”
It now has a vapour chamber. I've seen video of this examined using a thermal camera. It works.
Hmm. I was using mostly MagSafe charging for the better part of the year on my black 16Pro directly. I don't see a single scratch from doing that. The frosted glass on those earlier phones feels invincible (to visible scratching).
Ah so it needs a vapor chamber AND aluminum to solve an overheating issue that never really existed. Got it.
In my opinion it has the bubbly look of an iPhone 5c and feels like an iPhone 6 🤷♂️
I never baby it either and I don't use any cases. But I'm still very confused about those reports of the frosted glass being scratched. Something must have gone wrong with this new 'Ceramic Shield 2', cause I can't even imagine what I would have to do to leave visible marks on the backside (frosted glass on 16Pro) of my phone. Break it - sure, but how the heck do you visibly scratch it apart from that tiny glossy portion with an Apple logo?
Sure, I care about my car. I also prefer to base my arguments on factual information.
My titanium 16 Pro runs perfectly fine. So no, you bringing up heat makes no sense, as it has nothing to do with the cheap feeling of the 17 Pro.
I see. Now the conspiracy theory you are proposing is that Apple put a vapour chamber for the first time in its flagship phones in order to use inferior materials in the outside design.
Ironically enough, it doesn't appear like their vapour chamber is doing a ton for A19Pro cooling either. It is predominantly attached to and cooling the battery rather than the chip. We also aren't really seeing performance gains that would be beyond what we were seeing in prior years with no big design changes
You sound like someone who never questions anything and does precisely what they’re told. How is this a conspiracy theory? Have you ever run a business before, sir? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 12 was the one year where I opted to go with the base model over the pro. My husband is still using my old 12. Trying to convince him to get a base 17.
It would cost an arm and a leg to make iPad from stainless steel or titanium. It also just doesn't make any sense in that form factor. It's the same reason you don't see cars made from titanium. It only makes sense in applications where weight penalty is not significant or relevant. iPad made from titanium or stainless steel would drop on the ground like a bag of bricks. And you wouldn't call laptop from stainless steel a laptop anymore because it would lose all portability.
I grew up in the 1960s. We questioned a whole lot, if you've sat through a history class or two. As a former human rights investigator among other things, it was my very job to dig deeper into things. Which is why I work with facts, not conjecture developed because of dislike of a phone's appearance.
Do you happen to be from New Hampshire by any chance?
I did buy something I like. And I compared it to something I used to like for years. And that’s why we’re having this discussion. The fact that you and many others on here get so offended by iPhone talk is comical. “Every review” is irrelevant to me. Do you think apple sends people their phones under an embargo so they can absolutely chastise them? Or do you think maybe these reviews that come out week 1 mostly exist to have an impact on your purchase?
