There's no major difference between the 15, 16 Pro models.

16 Pro models are slightly bigger this year, have 4k/120fps, faster chipset, slightly better cameras/zoom, slightly better battery and the camera control button.

Unless you're a content creator where some of those new additions will be help. Just for regular use the 15 Pro will be fine. 15 pro models will have all the A.I. features when it eventually rolls out. And the new camera control seems to be a not-so well thought out addition.
 
still crazy to see MKBHD's come up. I went to college with him back in the day. he was a few years younger but he was always a reserved down to earth guy back then. He was still doing well enough on his channel that he didnt need to go to school but I always thought it was admirable that he did it anyway. lived on campus, played on the ulitmate frisby team, and all that. We gave him a bid to our fraternity because he was friends with a couple of our brother but he turned it down lol

now hes going 90 in school zones :lol:
You went to Stevens?
 
I need some help. I upgraded from a 12 pro to a 16 pro. The pics on my 16 don’t look as clear or sharp as my 12. When I take close up pics of my kids or shoes or just regular pics, it’s not as sharp. How can I fix this? Only reason I gotta new phone was for a better camera.
 
I have a very old Watch (maybe 5) that I still wear, battery barely last about 8 hours lol. I have been really focused on wearing my automatic watches more lately so I wasn't too upset. But now I am missing the practicality/functionality of the Apple Watch and is intrigued by the Ultra 2! Smdh. There's no 3 on the horizon that's going to drop after I buy this thing right?

I don't think so for next year, but even then not much left they can really do with the UW2. If you really want one I say go for it. I got mine a month ago and I'm gonna stick with it until it completely stops working.
 
this is kind of crazy and i think all cases might be apple laptops so far



On Nov. 14, John Shin, a Lawndale resident, was tracking his shipment of an expensive laptop when he was notified it had been delivered. Apparently, he wasn’t the only one tracking his package.

When Shin went to check the front of his home near the intersection of Prairie Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, the package was nowhere to be found.

Shin told KTLA’s Kimberly Cheng that he saw the UPS driver and followed him down the street to stop and ask him about the missing package.

“And he said, ‘Well some guy showed me his ID,’” Shin explained.

Sure enough, Shin later found footage of the exchange. The video shows a stranger stopping the UPS driver as he steps out of the truck with Shin’s package. The man shows the driver something on his phone, possibly a fake ID, and then is handed the delivery.






Another package has been reportedly intercepted in Los Angeles County, making it the third expensive laptop delivery to be stolen in Southern California this November.

This time, however, rather than swiping it in front of a consumer’s home – the thief went a few steps further.

“I ordered a laptop online and I did it for in-store pick up because I didn’t want it to get stolen,” the consumer, Rick Markowitz, told KTLA’s Jennifer McGraw on Saturday. “And I said, ‘Hey, I’m here for my in-store pickup,’ and immediately they go, ‘Your laptop was already picked up sir,’ and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? I’ve never come to pick it up.’”

Markowitz now says he’s out $4,000 after the imposter picked up his computer from an Apple store in Sherman Oaks on Tuesday.

While he was still at the store, Markowitz says he asked the staff if he was hacked.

“They said, ‘Well, we don’t know if you were hacked or not, but we’re saying someone with an ID with your name on it came in and picked up the laptop.’”

The part that's weird about both of those is that someone seems to be on the inside giving out order details - then they just make an id and get there to pick it up.
 
Also, who’s bright idea was it to put the “camera” put so low on the right side you nearly drop your phone trying to use it.

This is why you use a credit card. File a charge back. They will fight for their money

Haven't used the camera control once. You are right, it is in an awkward spot.

I'd ask the Apple-iPhone forum on Reddit. But that sounds odd.
