i just grabbed a 2 month old used iPhone 15 Pro from Marketplace for 700 dollars with under 35 batter cycles. Much better than the iPhone 16 for the same price.
Waiting for Dynamic Island to go away and 120 hz refresh rate on base models before buying any more iPhones. I’m disenchanted with Apple and their hyped up minimal changes. Wish cases weren’t necessary…
You’re not wrong. I have stuck with Apple products since the iPhone 4 and year after year i get less impressed with the “upgrades.” Only reason i got the 16 Pro is because they gave me $1,000 for my 14 Pro and the battery was awful on it and would have cost me $100 to replace it anyway. I would love to see 120hz come to all models of iPhone (long overdo, 60hz in an $800 phone in 2024 is crazy) and would like just a full display with no dynamic island or notch. I think we will have the dynamic island for a couple more years, at least. I would also absolutely love Touch ID to come back.
The slowed down refresh rate you showed is NOT representative of the true experience at all, c’mon man… 🤓 The 16 plus is all about that color and the fresh camera bump position. Much cleaner, but we’re all so used to the Pro features though… I’m so tempted though.. 😅
The AOD and refresh rate is something you have to experience. I didn’t think it mattered if I had a pro after having the 15 pro. I used the 16+ and was disappointed. Great colors. Got a 16 pro max
