Wow. You can type to Siri using power button(when u hold it). Just go to accessibility settings~> Siri~> Type to Siri(when holding power button). Using it on iPhone XR and can type to Siri with text replacement. Works great.
Do I like that the regular 15 is being software locked? No. But at the same time, I’m using an iPhone XS Max, a phone that is missing many features of the newer phones. Honestly, I don’t want to be in the sour mindset of “what could be”. I bought my XS despite that the 11s were out at the time, and I never once wished I bought the 11 instead, despite the XS having the quick video settings (a feature I use all the time today) software locked. AI and the new Siri is just a luxury that I don’t need and I’m still perfectly happy with my old XS Max today.
I’m on the 13 mini and happy with it, my only complaints like yours is no usb-c and the camera system. The base 16 and SE4 are peaking my interest but even then I’ll wait it out and see.
I am VERY sure that even the people (like me) that just bought the 15Pro are going to feel "cheated" that the 16Pro (with it's new chip) will be able to do things that my 15Pro will not. Better to be happy with what you have instead of envious of what you don't .
So you say you don‘t want to buy the new iPhone every year because it is not a good financial decision to buy a new 1000 bucks phone for just incrementalchanges. But in the ende you find reasons to still buy the newes iPhone because of the incremental changes?
Incremental changes add up, eventually they add up to a point where it can add benefit to your life if you use them, in this case for him it was the 15
Randy, it just clicked with me that you would be perfect for the rene Ritchie audience since he stopped. I got legit flashbacks watching this video for some reason haha. Keep up these honest and true and informative videos and I’m positive you’re going find your people. They do exist!
That is exactly what apple wants you to think every year, and I guess it is effective for some people. Me, personally I will keep my iPhone 15 plus for at least three years before upgrading.
Same with me with the 14. I’m keeping it for at least three years. Also type to Siri will come out for the 15 base. It’s just that betas are currently out of sync.
the iphone 15 uses the iphone 14 pro max chip witch wont get AI, so getting a new phone with an old chip should be your main concern, good buying habbit is get the best of the best and renew it every 4 years, and by the 4 years comes up something your phone wont do will be a new feature
I bought two iPhone 15 pros just because of the cameras, from 12 mini, I was so lucky to choose pro. Now hoping it will last until iPhone 20 when it’s time to replace. I also feel bad for not getting Max after realizing it has a bigger tele camera, but it’s too big. iPhone 15 pro is heavy but feels great I have to say, feels like the perfect size not too far from mini.
YOU WILL GET THE TYPE TO SIRI! It’s just that only the pro currently has the 18.1 beta but in future betas and in the future release the type to Siri will work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:26 ram unfortunately, the ram is the problem. apple continued to cheap out on ram for all the iphones for YEARS, and when the AI hype got around we now pay the price for apple refusing to use 8gb of ram in their devices standard. it’s not software locking this time
Getting a new phone just for a first gen software feature isn’t really worth it but if you need a new phone due to the screen problem you are having then go for it or get the screen fixed but definitely don’t do it because of a software lock you can always just download an AI app
@@ThatIceChampion exactly why spend hundreds of dollars on a new phone when you can just download the app and just get your screen fixed because of burn in
@@rca950476 burn in that might never even happen lol, Apple intelligence is a bit more complex than that but using it as a sole reason to upgrade (especially from a 15 to a 15 Pro) is just dumb
I don’t feel cheated. The business environment of today is not same as of yesteryears. Apple is changing good bad or otherwise. But let’s be cautious. The new software features that I will be locked out of I don’t care for. It is not worth the money to upgrade. This year but next year and year after that. This trend I don’t like. Suggest to list all software features that will be locked. And put a price tag on it for your life style. Make sure it is justified.
i couldn't give a rats ass about Apple Int... i'm going to go from a 15 pro max to a 16 pro because i want a slightly more pocketable phone with > 60hz
When I got the iPad Air 4th gen and they software locked external display support and stage manager to iPad Pros with M1s😭😭 what’s worse was I saw people getting the same functionality out of their iPads by simply jailbreak it it
It’s a good problem to have. In my case, I have 15 pro and I still will not get the AI features even if I buy a new phone, because I live in the wrong continent, apparently.
iPhone 15 owners are definitely cheated. But at the same time, Apple intelligence seems like something that I personally don't really care for. AI in general seems overrated to me tbh. So I personally wouldn't upgrade to the iPhone 16 or at least a 15 Pro just to get something that is software locked. But if it's a software feature that I do care about a lot like maybe an "Apple Dex" type feature, then yeah I would upgrade, even though I wouldn't want to if a scenario like that happens
Cause all the shareholders basically forced Apple to do all these stupid AI 🤖 features they probably didn’t give a crap about. (I can’t stand AI) And the “A17 Pro” chip was the one most powerful for these features to work reliably. Think all the 16 models and all the future iOS devices will ship with this new software.
This is Probably why what they wanted to Actually work on, vision OS got shoved to the wayside cause of all this stupid hype about AI AI AI AI AI. Google, it was just a keynote about Gemini oh right I think we have a phone to show 🤷🏼♂️ I’m so over this AI crap!
this phone just didnt have enough ram to take photos of my newborn son. i mean yea bro having a 3 year old phone, it will not work anymore after 3 years cause the ram is all used up by then and anyways just buy the new one anyways
Apple should’ve did the right thing last year and put 8 gigs of ram in all the phones that way at least the people that bought 15s last year wouldn’t feel cheated. I bought the 15+ and I love my phone. I have 256 gig. I’m not gonna worry about the AI features this year, I’ve had this phone for almost a year now. Got it back in October. and you know Apple knew that the AI features w were gonna come out the following year. That’s the killer. I just feel it’s a money crab on apples Part!

The M1 MacBook is leaps and bounds ahead in literally everything. Far more powerful than any of the iPhones.
Nahhh , that’s stupid
no, not really. Apple's A and M chips aren't that far apart in reality, that's why the pro phones don't need or get the M chips lol

I still say wait for the 17. The AI stuff isn’t coming until next year anyway.

4:01 I say - buy a used 15 pro when the 16 comes out. imo it’s a more responsible buying practices than buying a new phone
That is exactly what apple wants you to think every year, and I guess it is effective for some people. Me, personally I will keep my iPhone 15 plus for at least three years before upgrading.

"Do you feel the same way I feel about this?"
Nope. Apple's being remarkably consistent with the hardware requirements for this thing: 8GB of RAM.
the iphone 15 uses the iphone 14 pro max chip witch wont get AI, so getting a new phone with an old chip should be your main concern, good buying habbit is get the best of the best and renew it every 4 years, and by the 4 years comes up something your phone wont do will be a new feature

i’m still on se2020 and my only complaint is the design, i should have known at the time that it would bug me in the future lol
The question will be, buying a 15 Pro or buying a “base” 16

, which means no aaa games, lags , problems , and no ai
