I like the natural and feel like I made the right choice. Under the back glass it just looks silver but the exposed titanium bits are quite nice looking.

Thing just feels a lot better in my hands.

Man you aren’t kidding. The weight between my 13 Pro and new 15 pro is really noticeable.
Ya all the techtubers and nerds on social media saying you wouldn't notice the 19g reduction from the 14P to 15P are, as usual, talking out their rear end on things about which they have little to no experience and/or expertise.

A golf club, specifically a driver, weighs about 320g and I can instantly tell a 10g difference and pretty reliably tell a 5g difference. When swinging a driver, I can tell a 2g difference. A 19g difference is in a phone is MASSIVE, especially since it's a 50% greater percentage change.

Blue is beautiful (recorded on my 13 Pro before I wiped it). Concerns about fingerprints on the band are 110% overblown.

I was worried that blue would be very navy/black, but it's pretty nice. The Titanium band is pretty blackish, though.

I can't remember whether I already posted this but Thunderbolt docks work, including ethernet.
I was wondering whether ethernet counts as "wifi" for the purposes of downloads (including in Overcast) and it does.

One of my past iPhones was a rose gold model (so pink) that I got because it was the only one available at the time. I had a case on it so it's not like you could ever see the pink anyway.

Also, I paid for a color; I want to see it.

Regular iPhone 15 colors this year are terrible, no idea why Apple thought they would look good. My mother in law went from a yellow 11 -> yellow 15 and the difference is pretty crazy.

Just in case anyone else (like me) can't figure out what that one missing icon on your home screen is after a phone transfer, check Testflight, I 100% forgot those don't redownload after a phone transfer.

The yellow is easily the worst. The blue is literally that dress meme where people were arguing what color it actually was, but the yellow is like sun bleached wallpaper. :-s

I do like how the back glass isnt glossy on the base models but it seems like that would make them slippery and the process they use kinda makes the colors look dull. still a good tradeoff though, the glossy back glass is my least favorite thing about my 13mini

The Pro blue is great. I immediately slapped it into the midnight blue MagSafe silicon case. And it seems that the silicon this year isn’t nearly as sticky as the one I had on my 13 Pro, thankfully.

They were way too expensive for what they were.

I'm not used to the phone size still after 3 years of an SE, but I'm learning gestures pretty well even if the app switcher gesture is kinda dumb. I am enjoying how on screen controls in games are way more useable on a bigger screen though, I can actually play Genshin semi-competantly now.

Those commissions aren't going to do themselves. Still need to fiddle with settings though, high settings at 30fps is probably best for battery but dammit I got home from work with 60% I have energy to spare give me 60fps.

Honkai Star Rail at 120 is completely needless though.

Anyone having issues with USB-C cables being loose? I bought a bunch of Anker USB-A to C cables and using wired CarPlay in my wife’s car constantly connects and disconnects.

We have a 10–port USB-A charger in the kitchen and none of these cables charge my phone nor my wife’s. If I plug them into a different charging brick with 2 C ports and 1 A, it works just fine.

Not sure if it’s just the brand but Anker has always been solid for me. And of course I pitched the boxes last week so I’m stuck with em.

I wonder if it's due to the internet doorbells where you can unlock your front door for a delivery from your office or whatever, and they're not meant to do that.

It's probably inferring something about you based on your profile and behavior, in which case the answer would be to live differently.

No, you have to use control center.

I suspect they’ll introduce double click or something to retain the mute function in iOS 18.

You can follow some (but not all) live sports in the Apple TV app and the live score will appear in the island. MLB works. Not certain which others.

Oh that’s cool actually, although if I have to follow every game instead of having it auto show the score for whatever team I’d not bother that’s too much hassle
