  • iPhone 15 + Pro to use USB C (as well as wired Apple earbuds + AirPods cases)
  • Same design as the iPhone 12/13/14 but with slightly softer edges
  • Slightly improved camera and battery life
  • iPhone 15 Pro replaced the mute switch with an "action button" (shortcut button)
  • iPhone 15 Pro's SoC capable of real time tray tracing
  • All 15 + Pro color options pretty shit tbh
And that's it.

It's weird because Apple's recently been obsessed with making their hardware OP as fuck and viable for gaming yet they insist on forcing developers to only use their own APIs.

They haven't been innovative in years but they're not a dying company by any means necessary.

Pixel 8 should have standards-based ray tracing if the GPU is the rumored variant.

Apple phones are basically only good for one thing and that's they last longer than androids. Any serious gamer is going to buy an android because of how customizable it is

Apple trying to appeal to gamers is just dumb

99.9% of the time mobile games look and run better on iOS than on Android. Developers tend to prioritize iOS development in general.

That is false.

For the first bit, that is. iOS definitely has more game development for it on the paid app side.

I've been playing games on both iOS and Android devices for years and I can't think of a single instance of a game running better on Android than iOS.

I have played every FF phone game (sans the battle royale). Literally all of them have had serious issues on iOS exclusively.

Seems like the most important change is the transition to USB-C. Dunno if that's what Apple wanted tho lmao

Games typically running better on iOS is a pretty common and well known thing, to the point that developers have come out and talked about why.

Speaking from my own experience, I'm not a game developer, but the apps I've had to develop were definitely easier to optimize for iOS by a long shot.

Well if you have the 14 and its a yearly release then yeah no point in complaining about the 15 since a lot wont really change if you buy a new phone every year. If you upgrade every 3 years then yeah its a significant improvement. The colors never mattered when most people get a case lol.

What's the planned obsolescence value of the 15 compared to the 14?
