IS APPLE'S UPDATE WORTH THE UPGRADE?

HANDS ON WITH THE IPHONE 15 PRO

When it comes to the iPhone, I’ve always been happy with the base model. In fact, when Apple started producing mini versions of the iPhone, those were the ones I gravitated towards. I have had a 13 mini since it was released and would have happily held onto it for another few years. However, this year, I decided to take a risk and pick up the new iPhone 15 Pro. Here are my thoughts.

SMOOTH DESIGN, BORING COLORS

From a design standpoint, the iPhone 15 Pro looks almost identical to the iPhone 14 Pro, with some minor differences. The edges of the 14 Pro are flat, ending in 90-degree angles, whereas the 15 Pro subtly curves downward, making the edges of the device feel smoother. The back glass is a matte satin finish which looks and feels great.

The one downside to this new design is the titanium bezel, although this only applies to the Black and Blue models. The titanium finish attracts fingerprints and skin oils like crazy. So, if you’re like me and don’t like to use a case for your iPhone, expect the edges of your phone to look greasy 24/7.

The iPhone 15 Pro comes in four colors: Natural (which is essentially just silver), White, Blue, or Black Titanium. The former two and the latter two are nearly identical, so one could argue there are only two colors available: dark or light. The lack of color diversity is disappointing for most, but, luckily for me, I almost always get a black iPhone. Thus, the Black Titanium was the natural choice for me.

LOCK YOUR APPLE ID WITH A PHYSICAL KEY

Security keys are physical items that can be used to verify your identity when logging into your Apple ID. If you are planning to use security keys, make sure you have at least two. Apple requires you use two, so that if you lose one, you will have another as a backup. At iPhone Life, a brand we recommend is the Yubico Yubikey 5Ci ($75).

WHY I DITCHED MY APPLE WATCH FOR THE OURA RING

Every morning for the past three months, I wake up wearing a shiny gold ring on my right pointer finger. If you look closely, you can see beams of red or green light leaking out the sides as it scans my heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. I roll out of bed, grab my phone, and open the Oura app.
