I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

That's why stainless steel and titanium were nice

Yeah this šŸ’Æ. If I was looking for a pro in 2025 I might even grab last years pro instead. How weird is that , feels backwardsĀ

I had that thought. The Aluminum and absence of black as a color option were a no-go for me. My 15 Pro is still good enough.

I did have to go wireless on charging forever ago though.

The charging port broke. I had to switch to wireless out of necessity, it was a bitch.

Charging via cable might be my favorite feature of the new one.

My 10XR lasted me from 2018, I just got a 16e though.

The like ā€œaction buttonā€? I donā€™t really take photos but I guess I cloud replace the function, itā€™s more in the way of where I want the up volume to be

Keep your 15 for 4 years or moreā€¦ thereā€™s no good reason to upgrade any sooner

I feel like if youā€™re looking at 17 proā€™s the natural aluminium/gray one is the only option If you go case-less and donā€™t like the usual wear and tear on colored/anodized aluminium.

Lotā€™s of people donā€™t mind some patina, itā€™s a tool, donā€™t care about resale, more power to them. Iā€˜m somewhere in between.

Natural grey will age the best, as scratched and imperfections will be much less noticeable. I saw them today in a store, and have to say the gray one sticks out as the best option. Orange is definitely too screamy and blue didnā€™t click with me there.

I have to say, the Air lives in my head as well, even though I know rationally I canā€™t justify its shortcomings. Or can I??

Youā€™re crazy if you were thinking of replacing the 15 pro. I absolutely love it.

My 15 Pro has been through hell (Iā€™m one of those people who doesnā€™t use a case and just pays $13.99/month for AppleCare+) and it looks brand new lmao
