hoping to see faster charging speeds and touch ID in power button for the 16!

I’ve no idea
It doesn’t, worth the trade off tho.
The bands last around six months too but I’m an extremely heavy user

The same prices as the Apple Store. I am not sure of the technicalities but you may have to fight with Apple over what is covered beyond the first year, where as with John Lewis, it should be a simpler process.
That's interesting John Lewis may be taking pre-orders this Friday. I am sure if you speak to another customer service representative, they will tell you something different, hehe. You seem to get different answers depending on the representative you speak with. There never seems to be any continuity, in my experience anyway. As far as I am aware, John Lewis have always opened orders for Apple products on the day of launch. I will be sure to check this Friday though.
I have settled on the Titanium Blue but I still can't decide on which size. While it will be a shame to cover up the blue colour, if I am going to get a case, it will be the Bellroy in terracotta.

Does anyone know if the new pros use the same sensor as the 14 pros?
As in the presentation they said its using bigger sensor but seems they were comparing it to the non pro 15 (which uses a smaller sensor than the 14 pros)
Kind of misleading if that’s the case

Was pretty certain that I was going to upgrade my 12 pro max when the 15 came out and after seeing it I'm not so sure now and wondering if I could get another 2 years out of 12 as I haven't had 1 single issue with it, battery is at 85% condition and only using about 65% of the storage, feels like it should be fine.
It may look better in real life, but I do prefer the sharper bezels instead of the rounded edge look.

Doubt he will be post again in this thread.
We have the geekbench results, A17 Pro disappoints
A17 Pro is 10% faster in single core compared to the A16 and it's the same in multicore
So while the GPU is faster than the A16, and we still waiting for GPU benches, these results show the CPU cores in the A17 Pro are nearly identical to the A16

Apple’s A17 Bionic Barely Beats The A16 Bionic In New Multi-Core Leak, Only Manages A 10 Percent Improvement In Single-Core Result
The A17 Pro is a 3nm SoC, but it fails to deliver a substantial single and multi-core performance lead over A16 Bionic, according to new leak

Not before no, only from release day.
Hardware between the 14 Pro and 15 Pro appears to be the same. Most of the changes are software. Next generation portrait mode and smart HDR 5, 24mp files from the main camera by default for example.

Once you go max you won't go back.

I tried Max, too big.

You can bet it does those scores using less power and generating less heat. Will be interesting to see. Let's not forget how incredibly over kill the CPU already is which likely explains why they focused on the GPU most where there was I believe a 20% gain. The neural engine is also twice as fast.

no one's iPhone 13, or 14 is slow. Or even 12. Battery life improvements is mainly what users want, and as mentioned the GPU if they game on it. Benchmarks, especially geekbench, are pretty much meaningless.
I have an 11 and was toying with upgrading but I might as well keep the for it's 5th year. Can't believe I'm saying that. It immaculate and I don't play games other than marvel puzzle quest on it, so what is it people do on their phones that I don't when they need a faster phone? I don't feel mine is slow at all. What's going to feel faster? Even when I use my wife's 14, I don't think it feels faster than mine on our usage other than trying to justify an upgrade to myself.
Same boat as you mate. Don't get me wrong I am definitely one for new gadgets I have the Ipad Pro M2 and Ultra... but the 15 Pro Max still doesn't tempt me as the 12 Pro Max is already so good.
Every year they make a song and dance about the camera and computational photography... and of course it's great people have this tech in their pockets to capture important life moments but as far as I'm concerend there is still very little competition to Fujifilm/Sony etc mirrorless cameras. iPhone images always look overly-processed and the two-dimensional fake bokeh layer is completely flat and just looks unantural. It seems to me the more computational photography advances, the worse the images seem to get. It's all very gimmicky tbh.
Other than that I already don't really notice the difference between 60hz on my 12PM and the 120hz on my iPad... sure the difference is there but I don't miss ProMotion when I use my iPhone. USB-C looks good to save clutter and cables on the go. Dynamic Island a nice to have but not going to revolutionse anything. Screen again already looks fantstic on the 12 Pro Max with HDR 4K content. Maybe the new WiFi standard will be better... to be honest I'm struggling to see the reason to upgrade.
CPU I am entirely sceptical of. The M2 in my iPad Pro is utterly pointless. It overheats after a few minutes of use (e.g. Lightroom photo editing) and then dims the screen to protect the components, it's unusable when this happens. It's like fitting a car with a V12 engine and giving it no cooling so after 2 minutes on a track it overheats and gets the power bottlenecked... in which case... what is the point of the V12 in the first place. Spoken to Adobe engineers who basically said the Ipad Pro M2 is flawed in its design for this reason and told me to use battery saver mode when using Lightroom. /Rant
Maybe just get my 12 Pro Max battery service and give it a new lease of life. Anyone upgrading from a 14 Pro Max IMO is utterly crazy or earns too much money! lol

I use my M2 Pro for Lightroom photo editing and haven't experienced this. I don't think I've noticed it get particularly hot and any situation really.
