But honestly it’s your own fault if you feel that way. In this case you were completely trolled by the marketing or simply uninformed.
😅😅 oh my…
Dynamic Island - it’s nice but the marketing hype around it was inc wagon too high. It has some nice animations, sometimes it’s useful but not more
Action button - for me unnecessary but when you activate some shortcuts for it, it’s nice
Battery life - from what I’ve seen in tests it holds up pretty well
Titanium frame - I guess you’re mostly trolling here because of some images and videos in social media instead of telling your own experience
The 15 is actually quite impressive. I really love the matte look without all the glossy stuff. It reminding me of the iPhone 4/4s, which was my favorite. It's the perfect weight and size for me....and I'm a size queen
There's a button that looks like a bell in control center that toggles the functionality that the mute switch used to offer. I also sometimes just turn on do not disturb focus.
For me: I sometimes put it in my GFs purse when doing something, or my pocket with keys. It’s much easier for me to order a replacement then stop into the Apple Store and have them use their machine to put it on.
The alternative is I spend the same money, without my phone for 2 hours and I have to hover around the Apple Store. Oh… I also have to give Apple access to all my information or wipe my device, then give Apple access to an empty phone.
I’m coming from an iPhone 12 Pro so for me upgrading to the larger phone has been a good upgrade.. Battery has been solid and runs snappy with better camera and screen view .. so far happy with the purchase and planning on keeping this one for three years..I know some don’t care for the action button but being able to map it differently is better than just mute for me ..
I can't believe how damaged my phone is. It has scratches all over the screen and a crack. Never dropped it. Have no clue how that happened. By far the most delicate iPhone I have ever owned. Two months in and a screen has a crack without and physical abuse. Been an iPhone user since 3GS.
You'll love the camera - a solid upgrade coming from a 12 Pro.
And if you're interested in making interesting/cinematic videos, check out Blackmagic's camera app. It's free and gives you a ton of options. Having a USB-C connector lets you store your video clips to a small SSD or a fast SSD card, in advanced formats and colorspaces.
I switched from my iP11 pro. Lots of fingerprints, battery life is quite bad. The action button is mostly useless, but easy to press by accident. Enough for your „oh my“? But basically my experience matches the MR long term review of the iP14 pro and the new iP15pro review. So this is not only my opinion.
Sadly I had to switch, since my old iP11pro did not support 5G. I‘ll get a fingerprint safe case 😂😂😂😂
Forgot to say…. Oh my, those Apple stormtroopers again 🤦🏼♂️

I got a really nice clear case from Spigen for my phone for three reasons:
• Drop protection (I had dropped about 5 times already, no damage at all).
• Better Grip (Without it, the iPhone sometimes may become slippery as a bar of butter).
• Aluminum Kickstand (I can adjust the angle in landscape orientation, and Facetime in Portrait orientation).
My clients who got the clear case from Apple end up loving my case, saying it protects more and the buttons are much easier to press.
Get the Spigen clear case with the aluminum kickstand. It will prevent accidental button presses without making them hard to press.
Not sure I get this. I never pass my phone to a merchant. You just hold your phone up to the NFC terminal. That is where my phone works only part of the time.
How is no one talking about the TERRIBLE glass quality? I have owned every iPhone since the 4S and this glass quality is reminiscent of those in the earlier years regarding easy scratching. When I brought into apple they admit the glass quality is LOWER than the previous iPhone.. is this confirmed? Apparently it was a supplier issue so apple opted to use a lower quality glass?
Apparently you didn't watch the video, which goes on at length about how useless the action button is, and specifically asks people to comment about what, if anything, they do with it.
