The Apple Store was surprisingly empty, that too within a week of a major phone release. Why was I expecting crowds I don’t know but it was pleasantly empty making browsing easier. I went to return the iPhone 15 pro but not before playing with both max and pro phones and ultimately deciding to skip this generation. There was nothing that looked like must have and I will save myself the cable nuisance and upgrade both our phones next year.
Interestingly, the pro model was definitely warm to touch. The max not so much. I don’t know if I was subconsciously paying more attention to that but it def felt warmer to touch and operate than max, and I tried 3 diff phones. Maybe the whole overheating thing is true.
