The iPhone 15 Pro is underwhelming, and Apple needs to stop playing it safe

My two years with the iPhone 13 Pro were great. I didn’t have any battery issues, I never dropped it or suffered cracked glass, and the phone still felt snappy and responsive. I only really swapped it out for a 15 Pro last month out of an abundance of caution. Trade-in values tend to slump after a couple of years, and getting over $500 back from Apple without any questions asked felt like a solid route.
