This battery test results cements my decision to get the 15 Plus! Yay!

Each person has their own opinion then, to me if 14 Pro (heavily discounted right now) and 15 is about the same price at RM4.4k, then the 14 Pro is much more value for money and also same time superior even though it’s still on lightning port. All the other specs from: Always on display, 120Hz screen, better camera hardware are all quality day to day improvement.
Unless you absolutely want the USB-C and portrait of the 15 then go for the 15.

Apple still sell the 14, SE, normal AirPods 3/2, and several other items with lightning port, so it is not entirely dead yet. The whole iPhone user base right now is still lightning. And many general users don’t really care about the charging port, USB-C or lightning, as long it is small and provided in the box, and can charge their phone they are fine. In fact the USB-C transition is going to cost a lot confusion in existing iPhone user base who invested heavily in lightning. Like why their old cable suddenly cannot work etc. or why their husband/wife iPhone with lightning and yours is USB-C.

If they can top up to 5.5k for a 15 Pro then of course I’d recommend the 15 Pro cause it’s the latest and greatest. But for those budget conscious, the 14 Pro is still great.

That’s a very good point. By December 2024, Apple can no longer sell any device with lightning in the EU, which means the 15 series might be the default entry level iPhones or Apple will be forced to put USB-C into their older phones like the 14 to comply with this rule. It’s also likely they’ll introduce a SE3 with USB-C in March next year…

Don’t think they ever updated older models internally, except to update the box to remove charger and earphone for older iPhones like the 11 during the release of iPhone12. That to help save them $$$ and pretend it’s for the environment, I just don’t buy into their whole green and environmental initiative.

Most probably Apple will just not sell the 14 in the EU next year, since it’s just one region, and only sell the base 15 as entry model. While they can continue selling it to the rest of the world. If they were to update the 14 to USB-C, felt like they should have done it earlier along with the release of the 15.

Yeah, but they did just quietly sneaked in the USB C port into the AirPods Pro 2 though… but I suppose that is easier than retrofitting it into an iPhone. Let’s see… either way, it’s exciting

I did get the lightning AirPods Pro 2 earlier this year, so was kinda bumped when I heard that the AirPods Pro 2 USB-C is getting lossless for vision pro when the hardware is exactly the same. Not that I’m gonna pick up the vision pro hahaha. And why vision pro only.. but then vision pro not out yet so maybe Apple may reverse their decision next year.

Hardware wise between lightning n usb-c is they only added dust proof certification to the usb-c charging case while the rest of the hardware and chip is the same.

Down the line don’t think anyone can pick up the lightning version anymore, since Apple don’t sell that anymore. The AirPods Pro 2 with lightning gonna be rare. Maybe Apple will start selling the USB-C charging case only few months later like what they did with the MagSafe charging case

Hehe, my AirPods Pro 1 still going strong… was hoping Apple would release a black one so I’d have an excuse to change but they didn’t so I’m happy to hold on to mine

The Pro 2 with ios17 software is fantastic though hehe poison you. Overall sound quality and with this new update makes this Pro 2 even better.
You could buy a black case and it would be black.

Damn iPhone 15 Plus has almost 3 hour better battery life than standard 15. And standard 15 has better battery than 15 Pro.



iPhone 15 Pro (A17) - 6 hours battery life
iPhone 15 (A16) - 6 hours 44 mins battery life
iPhone 15 Pro Max (A17) - 7 hours 13 mins battery life
iPhone 15 Plus (A16) - 9 hours 17 mins battery life

iPhone 14 Pro (A16) - 6 hours 46 mins battery life
iPhone 14 Pro Max (A16) - 7 hours 55 mins battery life

Great choice bro. For General users, the Pro Cameras are kinda over the top for general use, and something like battery life is more important.

In addition, this is 1st year that standard non-Pro iPhone get 2x optical quality zoom, so having 2x optical zoom camera puts it on par with iPhone 12 Pro telephoto with iPhone 15 series better main+ultrawide, which to be fair is already enough for General users. 😆

i dun think it is 2x optical zoom at all, iphone 15 does not have telephoto lens, the 2x zoom is just cropped image from the 48MP photos like how they did it for iphone pro series last year to add the 2x.

walla ! in terms of battery plus seems better then pro max 

But if you can find a 14 Pro Max still in stock and cheap now, I’d argue that’s still a better buy than the 15 Plus

But usb-c port is a bummer. Can tell that iPhone 14 pro series now the resell value is low due to lightning port instead of usb-c now.

been thinking to replace my mom iphone 6 plus with either iphone 13 pro max or iphone 14 pro max , because she love to take a picture and short video plus already get used to iOS -- so i will check those iphone 14 pro max later on 

Need to quickly grab them before stock runs out
