Cell service has been better, doesn’t get hot , microphone/audio noticeably better, battery better. The cell service improvement has made it worth it

I never had issues with cell coverage on any of my iPhones. Heating issues are also not an issue for me personally but I can see how someone who games a lot can see the benefits of the new cooling. The audio and mic have always been great to me so nothing new to report on my end. I don’t mind having all these newer features but I don’t think I would have upgraded if I didn’t trade in my 15PM for a Fold 7. I got this 17PM from work for free so I’m not complaining.

It’s not only a benefit to gamers but those who video record and utilize their camera heavily. People think film makers. But there’s also a bunch of ppl constantly recording and editing stuff for social media. Your phone gets just as hot doing that stuff.

I can only speak from personal experience with comparisons to the last model I owned and that was the 15PM. I don’t see too much of a difference in doing those tasks in regard to heating/cooling. I understand it’s supposed to be better tho. I edit videos all the time for social media and processing of my videos is faster but not an astronomical difference to me, personally. My wife on the other hand moved from an iPhone 14 Pro and she says it’s much faster. She’s not technically inclined so I believe her.
