I have been using the iPhone 15 Pro for 6 months and I have a super in-depth review for it. This took a long time to make, but I think this is the best way I could put what I think about the iPhone 15 Pro in complete detail into a video.

Everything made sense in my life until I saw people touch Tim Cook's feet, and then go into the Apple store to buy products with their own money that eventually pays his salary.

I'm glad OnePlus changed the Nord 4 design that we saw released in China to this. It looks different, feels amazing and so much more premium with the phones it might end up competing with. And that orange accent in the alert slider 🤌.

I love the Pixel UI so much that I am perfectly fine with using a Pixel 7 Pro that will heat up, lose reception now and then, charge ever so slow, or even lose battery much faster than other flagships. Yes, not the smartest decision, and yet, I can't convince myself to move on.

While I appreciate OnePlus and Samsung for 4 years of software updates, a common mistake people make is to think that it's longer software support than Pixels. Let me explain. Most OnePlus and Samsung flagships come out in the year way before the new Android version comes out.

I keep on trying to find the value in the Pixel 8, enough value that maybe somehow makes it worth it, despite what Tensor G3 is bad at, to make it recommendable for most people. I am struggling to find it, even with all the AI. Indian pricing doesn't help. It's sad.

Sadly, Apple Music's Android app is a mess, I'm all for lossless music, but I can't have it at the cost of a terrible experience. YouTube Music is far better. Spotify sounds significantly worse than both YouTube and Apple.
