In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“15 Pro is on 37%”
“it's felt like it's dropped more often than my iPhone 15 Pro when I'm hotspotting”
“it's an iterator phone but one that ties together a lot of the Loose Ends that Apple has had over the years”
“the iPhone 15 Pros are pretty badass”
