iPhone 15 Rumours & Release Date

Lol buy a lagdroid and it's bloatware. Took me 2 hours just to setup a Samsung Galaxy A54.

Yeah no I use it a lot. If you have a bunch of apps installed it's faster than either hunting for an icon or using the app library.

Or just use reachability without having to stretch your thumb at all.

Have to say one of things that still bothers me on Android is apps needing to update one-by-one from Play Store, not sure if that changed recently but it would make getting a new phone and setting take an unnecessarily longtime where an iPhone is pretty much done within an hour.

Agreed on Spotlight search, I use it A LOT.

As for Reachability, depending on if you have a case or not, it can be cumbersome to use, I wish we were able to “pull the screen”/UI to the side that is closest to your thumb,.

Is there any way to get Trucaller working in real-time like on android or is it relegated to a neat tool that can only be used after the phonecall to see who it was?

Edit : Found it, just have to use Siri. Assigned it to the action button since I don't really use it.

You have to pay for the subscription for those features to work now. Same as Android too on the latest update. Truecaller has locked away a lot of the real-time features including call screening without a subscription. Truecaller has put all their live screening features behind a paywall. They've introduced a basic plan that lets call screening come though. Don't quote me, but it used to be around R1k a year for Truecaller Premium but now only costs around R100 a year I think? Not sure.

Truecaller is going fully subscription model based for all live features.

What is hilarious regarding battery degradation is all these tricks different people use, from using slow chargers and avoiding wireless charging, to staying between 20% and 80% :ROFL:
None of that stuff seems to work. It will degrade “fast” or “slow” depending on how much capacity it came with.

I charged my iPhone 8 every single night for over a year on a cheap Chinese wireless charger from Amazon and battery health was still 100% when I sold it.

Exactly! May as well just use the phone how you want to and how it suits you rather than worrying about degradation which happens no matter what.

The batteries have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years and even a mid 80% doesn’t have the same effect now as it did on for example a 6s.

That isn't true.

The battery technology in the iPhone 6s and 15 Pro max is exactly the same tech - Li-Po. Just the capacity and battery size has increased with the fattening out of the phone thickness. Efficiency comes from more efficient SoC's and fatter phone bodies to hold much larger batteries. The battery degradation will be exactly the same.

Changed it to what? It was Li-Po, It's still Li-Po.

It isn't new battery technology. It's better hardware and better power management.

From your own article;

As for how the estimate doubled without any physical or software changes, the company attributes the upgrade to continual improvements to its battery components and iOS power management.

So where's the new technology? Li-Po and Li-Ion are often used interchangeably. They're both lithium Ion.

If you want to get really technical, then Apple themselves say on the battery pack that both the 6S and 15 Pro are Li-Ion, so you're argument is still invalid. There is no new battery tech.

Please show me the new battery tech they are using in the iPhone 15. They aren't. It's the same battery - just bigger capacity, better power management, and much more efficient SOC's.

Show me the new battery tech in the iPhone 15 that makes it more advanced.
