As an ordinary consumer, I have always pursued cost-effective and good user experience when it comes to mobile phone selection. At the beginning of 2022, I bought a vivo S12 priced at 2799 yuan, which has a decent configuration: Dimensity 1100 processor, 108 million pixel rear camera, 44 million pixel front camera, 8GB RAM and 4200mAh battery, while having a 6.44-inch screen.
However, the mobile phone market is highly competitive, with new technologies and features constantly emerging. Recently, I decided to upgrade the vivo S12 to Apple's iPhone 15 Pro, and the experience gap is really obvious, after all, the iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with Apple's A17 Pro processor and uses TSMC's 3nm process, which is one of the most advanced process foundries in the industry. Its rear camera has been upgraded to 4800+1200+12 million pixels, and the main camera uses 48 million pixels, equipped with an ultra-telephoto lens and second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. At the same time, the iPhone 15 Pro supports focus control, depth of field control, and the user's favorite cinematic mode, which is excellent for shooting short videos with 4K depth of field bokeh. The front camera has also been upgraded to 12 million pixels. The purchase time is early 2024, and the price is 8999 yuan.
After owning the iPhone 15 Pro, I really felt the difference in use. First of all, the performance of the processor has improved significantly, the phone is more responsive, and the loading time of apps has been reduced. This has been a qualitative improvement in my usual multitasking and gaming experience. The iPhone 15 Pro's camera performance is also excellent, capturing more detail and a higher level of image quality, whether it's for everyday photography or video.
However, compared to the vivo S12, the iPhone 15 Pro is significantly more expensive. This made me hesitate a bit, but after considering the overall quality and stability of Apple's devices, as well as its advantages in terms of software and ecosystem, I decided to invest in the iPhone 15 Pro. In my previous experience, I have found that Apple's phones are more stable in the long term, the system is more timely with system upgrades, and they still get the latest features and security patches.
Overall, the upgrade experience from vivo S12 to iPhone 15 Pro made me feel stronger performance, advanced photography capabilities, and a better user experience. However, the difference in price cannot be ignored, and everyone needs to weigh the pros and cons according to their personal needs and budget when buying a phone. As far as I am concerned, I am very satisfied with the upgrade of the iPhone 15 Pro and believe that it will bring me a better experience and a longer lifespan.
In the face of the latest Apple products, will everyone continue to choose Android?
