me too... I have been on an annual upgrade since 7. Not sure if I want to ditch 14pm for 15pm/ultra with not much incremental benefit. May be next year it would be a flip phone
Got a tip for us?

yes but the question is will the block charger be included in the phone? or does everyone have to buy it seperately.??
I doubt the block charger will be included. It hasn’t been for the last few phones. I had to buy the blocks separately for the 13 series.
I'll wait for the full announcement before making up my mind, but at the moment it looks like a no go.
After careful consideration, I don't want the Pro Max because of size, no 1-hand usability, and horrific price for a 512Gb model (it will get to ~$2000 here where I live if they increase the US price by as little as $100), and I won't settle for a worse camera in the smaller Pro model.
Not a huge fan of the pillbox cutout in the screen either. Whatever animations they put around it, it's still ugly and in the screen. I think it was a stupid design decision. They could have made a much smaller and unobtrusive notch.
Also, I am really not looking forward to setting up a new phone, the banking apps and all the logins are a pain. I will only do it if I have a good reason to do it.
Perhaps next year.
If Apple moves to eSIM only for European phones, this is a deal-breaker, I will give up on the iPhone and move back to Android. I want to be able to easily swap SIMs.

I doubt it’ll be included, but a lot of people likely already have them from other devices. I already use that type of block for my iPad and watch.
Think it’s very probable that you only get an usb c charging cable in the box. No brick.
well they should include the brick for the price of the phone that customers will be paying for.. pay 2-3k for a phone + on top of that 40 bucks extra for the brick..
Totally agree on this!!! On the other hand I can understand and go along with the sustainability argument here, most customers already have bricks and possibilities to charge already.
The brick changed from USBA to USBC several phones back (can’t remember if it was 12 or 13). The cord included in the box had already changed but no brick came with it. We ended up buying several bricks and MagSafe chargers because the cords in the box didn’t work with any of the bricks we had at home. That was a large added expense that we didn’t expect at the time.
Yes I will be upgrading from iPhone 13 Pro. Last spring when I bought my Apple Watch Series 8 I also bought a Belkin fast wireless charger that fast charges both my iPhone 13 and watch, am I correct in believing that it will still work with the 15 pro Max, Ultra, Super Size, (whatever they are calling the big one today)? I bought the "brick" when I got my iPnone 13 Pro, will the brick for that still work in the chance that I have to spend time in the hospital?

iPhone 15 is launching in NINE stunning colours, dummy models suggest
Apple is now just four days away from revealing the iPhone 15. A new video suggests the new flagship will be available in nine colour options.
I get this, however I don't think it's just a marketing tool. I really like the Dynamic Island, using it with Apple Maps is great, also other Apps to interact with without opening the actual app is also great. AirPods to see how much charge I have left, granted Apple could add more functionality to it and improve it with software BUT I don think it's just marketing hype.
I agree, actually. It is great for the things that it does do, I guess I just don't get a lot of use of it. But I agree, when I need to use maps, the DI is very convenient. Same goes for seeing my AP charge.
plus i don't see how its saving the environment if every year apple will just be releasing new phones with minor tweaks except for the 6'7 inch ones. might as well add a charging brick with it. afterall they are taking our money anyways.
A bit of a solution in search of a problem, if I may say so. I have the Airpods Pro and the Beats Fit Pro and have zero issues knowing the battery life, there's a battery widget that shows the pods and the box...
As for Apple Maps, are people actually using that? I thought it was all Waze and Google Maps, or is that only Europe? They show traffic and Apple Maps has no data since nobody's using it.
I don’t know about everyone else but I use Apple Maps. Having the Dynamic island isn’t essential, but it is nice to have. I like using it with Apple Music and other apps, being able to change my music or check a direction while inside another app is useful.
I do think Apple should add more functionality to it tho. With it coming to the iPhone 15 across the board, maybe this year it will get more attention.
I honestly do not know if it will be worth it to me upgrading to the 15 pro for a new charger and incremental upgrades... paying off the current phone early just to get it makes no sense either...
