For some reasons I liked it. Not the best deal but one of the shortest for sure. Sure as hell beat those copy-paste laptop posts.

You realise there's title guidelines for posting a bargain right?
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:title_guidelines
Otherwise we'll have a pandemonium of unclear post titles. Also prevents flood of comments asking how much for the price of (in this case) iPhones..

Great to see a first time poster didn’t say ‘first time posting, go easy on me’. I think that’s in the guidelines somewhere. Well done OP

@shutuptakemymoney101: That's true, not a default stance but it's a bit of a poor effort on Google's part… I got just over 2 years for a pixel 6 and the camera dies on me. Did a full factory reset, all the troubleshooting. Just warning that they'll drag their feet to honour your rights as a consumer. I'm in the midst of getting it sorted and am not really impressed atm.
They offered me a 20% discount on a Pixel 7 or 8 as their gesture of good will… yeah, like I'm gonna drop over a grand on a phone that won't last 2 years… pfft

120hz screen refresh rate in pro and pro max vs 60hz in 15 and plus
Apple knows suckers will pay extra for that once getting used to 120hz screen - it is very obvious when scrolling.
N.B. I am one of those suckers.

The lowest capacity of pro and pro max started at 256 gb though and 15/plus start at 128gb so if comparing 15 plus 256 gb and 15 pro max 256 gb the price difference will be $350 only

I got an iPhone 15 yesterday, after having used an android for my whole life.
I don't think it's for me, but I'll willing to give it another month. There's things about it which are really good, and then things about it which make no sense at all.
The hardest thing is figuring out the gestures. Once I figured out how they worked, the phone felt kind of normal. But yeah, some of the UI choices are baffling (like how I can't just place icons wherever I want, they have to cascade from the top). The hardware is pretty good though, the default software is pretty good, and the camera is amazing. The settings menu sh*ts all over any android I've used lol.
I think maybe the iPhone suits a certain kind of person who has very general needs, and I think it does that really well. But there's so much I miss from Android in terms of customisation.
backupper1 on 14/01/2024 - 07:02

also, the animations , touch point responses are so slow and dull on iPhone as compared to android. After using Android, iPhone feels like a toy with so many restrictions.
dottjt on 14/01/2024 - 07:11
+2
One thing I've learnt recently is that toy software isn't bad and shouldn't be seen as inferior.
Ableton Live is technically toy software, but that's also what makes it so effective. It allows you to focus on what's important, instead of worrying about endless options. It's why people are able to create amazing things with it.
McSquintus on 14/01/2024 - 08:36
I actually hate the settings, more so how every app has the settings in the Settings app vs their own app.
dottjt on 14/01/2024 - 09:45
I always found android setting overly confusing. Like it wasn't clear where anything was, with the iPhone I feel it's a lot clearer how everything is organised. Furthermore, you can easily search for everything and it clearly tells you where in the tree it is.
McSquintus on 14/01/2024 - 18:17
Same with Android, can use the search and it is useful when sifting through all the customisation options!
backupper1 on 14/01/2024 - 11:22
and also that the notification settings in iOS are either all off or all on, no fine customisations like android.
Randolph Duke on 14/01/2024 - 13:09
That’s up to the apps to offer that granularity at a message type level, otherwise the OS can show different notification styles at an app level, and allow high priority ones through even in sleep/DND modes. Apps can obviously be disabled from using notifications too.
backupper1 on 14/01/2024 - 17:04
@Randolph Duke: do some apps allow finer notifications tuning in iOS? which ones of you can point out. I haven't seen any till now and would be keen to see the one.
Randolph Duke on 14/01/2024 - 17:24
@backupper1: NAB does - admittedly pretty uncommon feature.

With my wife owning an iPhone and me always on android. There's never a time where I think android is better. iPhone always feels nicer to use.
The only thing I didn't like is I got used to gestures on android and iPhone didn't have them so it was a struggle adapting the two.
The biggest downside is that iPhone is good for 2 years before they start crippling the device.dottjt on 14/01/2024 - 09:46

My older android phone that's 1/4th of the price has a significantly nicer screen than this base model iPhone 15. But they both have their pros and cons.

I was using a 5 year old iPhone XS from 2018 and it worked fine until I upgraded to the 15.
Many people use older iPhones and they run well.
Randolph Duke on 14/01/2024 - 13:11

Yeah never understood these “crippling” comments, iOS offers major OS version support far longer than anyone else, and 5 year old iPhones running the OS are perfectly usable, if not a little slow sometimes.
maverickjohn on 14/01/2024 - 14:17

The phone does run ok but the camera does drop in quality after the second year update. It has with every phone we've bought. I had the iPhone X and my wife has had 4, 6 plus, 7 plus, xs max and 13 pro max. And all cameras start performing worse after 2nd major iOS update. It's not a coincidence. My mate has the same issue but he just changes his phone every 3 years now, which is not something we want to do anymore.
I know for a fact Samsung does not do this as I also have bought the z fold 3 and z fold 4 as well as had the note 20Randolph Duke on 14/01/2024 - 17:25

@maverickjohn: I’ve had multiple iPhones since the 3GS - the photos do not get worse with updates. Looking at newer models might convince you your phone is taking worse photos.
Daabido on 14/01/2024 - 21:51
@maverickjohn: It's true. After five years of use, the camera makes it appear I have aged dramatically.
FlipperMeTimbers on 14/01/2024 - 22:01
I went from a 7+ to a 15 Pro Max and one of the best things of the 7 was that it just ran. Sure it was slow at many things and the battery - as physics would have it - was getting maybe four hours of screen on time. Other than that it wasn’t too shabby.
maddoglee on 14/01/2024 - 17:11
My pixel 6 camera is intermittently playing up and Google just won't willingly repair it as my 2-year manufacturer warranty was up on November 2023. I first started complaining 5 Dec.
I still have iPhone 4S's that I muck around with and still use…As much as I hate Apple, Google is just too frustrating to deal with.
My wife is still on the iPhone XS and there doesn't seem to be a need to upgrade.

You're a brave lad, impressive.
I can't do it, I've tried, they make great hardware but my god some of the stuff is just so ridiculous.
Well done and bang on with the stupid 'cascade from top' thing on the icons. It made sense in 2008 and 2011 but now, cmonnnnnn!If I want my Outlook icon bottom left all the time and my Google maps bottom right, let me do it.
That's just one of dozens of little decisions they make for people which are just too much. I don't expect full Android customisability but so much not for me.
dottjt on 15/01/2024 - 17:25
You know what's funny, I've been using both phones over the past few days, and I now absolutely can't stand my android.
I guess how I'd describe it is that from a functionality perspective, the iPhone is just so much more coherent. Like everything just feels so well integrated together, whereas everyone on the android just feels so patched together.
Now granted, I'm using a sh*tty Redmi android (and I assume MIUI is garbage) but I can say with confidence that I now think my Redmi Note 10 Pro is a piece of crap compared to the iPhone 15.
Of course, the iPhone isn't perfect. You can't emulate retro games on it, which sucks. And sure, some of the UI decisions aren't great. But as a phone, I think it's excellent.
hamwhisperer on 15/01/2024 - 17:39
There's a lot of really good, consistent stuff that makes them feel nice for average users.

Multi-million/Trillian dollar companies Google, Apple et al must all really be doing it tough at the moment with the cost-of-living crisis being what it is.
I had the opportunity recently to speak to a couple of families living in their cars at my local park, they were both consumed with regret and grief that they could only afford a Pixel 8 (non-pro) and iPhone 15 (non-pro) respectively and couldn't offer significantly this year to the Google/Apple financial bottom line.
Hopefully things will pick up in 2024 and $3K+ phones will become the norm as we all walk around with overflowing money falling from our pockets that we desperately want to get rid of.
