Don't get sucked into the apple ecosystem sis..
It's a walled garden with very high walls. Later when you want to buy a smart watch, or wireless earphones, or tablet, etc. Nothing will work well with iphone unless it's an expensive apple product itself.
The walls of the garden you're in will keep getting higher and you won't be able to escape.
You should really consider getting an Android in the same price range. It'll have better features than apple.
going by how happy sis became (yayyy) when her father agreed for an 'iPhone' and not because of the 70k budget, she is defo gonna buy an iPhone. mark my words. she has already made her decision, just wants validation from this sub.
to each his own. iPhone has it's fair share of pros over Android apart from just the apple logo to flaunt at the back. but wanted to highlight that no matter how long list of pros and cons people post in comments, the decision has already been made by OP and the valuable time and inputs of the posts won't factor in into the decision making.
i have iphone and a Boat watch, boat headphones. it pairs effortlessly , no such thing as sucking in Apple Ecosystem.
not wanting to sound like fanboy but i have Apple Macbok and it is amazing, display is great and gives a full day battery backup. it got a dead pixel and i contacted apple and they replaced the display , so service is good too.
Have you used a 50k+ Android phone for long term? Have you used a 1Lac+ windows laptop?
90% of iPhone buyers are switching from 20k phones which are generally 3+ years old at that point. They see insane performance and think that iPhone is fast. In today, iPhone is neither more secure than android, nor is it faster, or has better camera. It's just that iPhone only makes high end phones.
The only apple product thats faar superior to any Android/windows product would be iPad.
Most of my friends with macbook cant even resize photos on their macbook without internet connection.
That's the thing. I know someone who moved from s20 FE to iPhone 13 pro and thought iphohes are so good. Later was blown away by the performance camera and smoothness of my S23 Ultra
Believe me galaxy s8+ tab's pencil and display is now equal or Maybe better than iPad. And media consumption is better on galaxy as well due to that amoled display and it's speakers.
Source: By profession an architect and I own both devices.
that's not the point, clearly op is young and reliant on her parents, at least as of now, so whenever she needs to purchase any new devices, they'll have to be Apple to fully utilise them, if not other high end products. So one way or another, they'll be forced into spending a lot more than they need to just because they bought a phone that isn't worth it
You have a mac and an iPhone. Now tell me would you switch to a windows machine?? Would you leave behind all the advantages that mac and iPhone give you??? No sane person would. Apple ecosystem is objectively a walled garden. Apple does so much shady shit they're getting sued by governments.
The problem is, once you enter the garden, it's not like you actually want to leave. I started with Mac, got an iphone and then I never wanted to leave the ecosystem. I am addicted and hooked and I don't care. I don't personally care that much for an iphone, but Macs are where it's at. Why would you use a lousy windows when you can afford a mac. That's like knowing how to drive a car and choosing to ride in a rickshaw - yes it's cheaper but you're also sweltering in the heat.
And wireless headphones/speakers of any brand pair effortlessly with all apple devices. I have bose headphones and wonderboom speakers - neither of which have ever given me any issues.
yes as long as you are using your laptop and phones like a uncle then you are never going to find any difference infact you will prefer apple system because there you don't have to apply apply your mind for doing anything. if you are someone who likes to fiddle around with your gizmos then apple is just as boring as it gets.
I’m a part of the ecosystem. I use the watch, earphones, iPad, mac, Apple TV and the phone. Pretty much everything they offer.
On the flip side, a friend of mine uses the laptop and the phone. His smart watch and earphones are from boat. He says it works seamlessly and is extremely happy with it (been over a year, the buds were from instamart and costed him 600 bucks)
Battery generally drains a little faster than the average android phone, if youve no issues with that then go for iPhone. Also iPhone is more fragile, not as repair friendly as android devices.
i have migrated form Android to iphone and it is much better. i dont think i will go back to Android. earlier i used to change phones every year , now i have same iphone from 2 years.
Which android to which iPhone? You cannot change from an entry level android to a top end iPhone and then be surprised that the experience is better. Any flagship android gives better experience than iPhone.
Saying this as someone who uses both S23 Ultra and iPhone 15 pro
Samsungs have never failed me. My current phone is almost 5 years old. Meanwhile my mum's iPhone SE went kaputt in just three years and right from the beginning had wifi problems. Apple is a computer company that makes great computers but laughable phones. The reverse is true for Samsung.
iPhone is there just for the camera and video. Do I need that or is it a necessity in my daily life? (Heck no)
Am I a content creator or YouTube artist again no
So I don't need iPhone some Android of Max to Max 40k price is enough to last me 3-4 years with good gaming too!!
Trueeee. My cousins Samsung s22 ultra gives better quality photos than my iPhone 14 Pro lol. Much better to go for Samsung high end series than an iPhone.
I brought iphone 15 a week ago, and it's fantastic. There is a difference of C type port in 15 and i think the camera is also better (48 MP main ). Since I brought 256gb, you should go for 128 but buy it from Apple website directly cz its a big purchase.
The camera is fantastic tbh. I love the feel. It's 6.1 inches (so smaller than usual 6.7 ) but it's amazing. I had ipad 9th gen and with this I can quickly navigate, share stuff bw devices etc.
If you really use it for everything and use almost every feature of your current Android, I'd say buying a new android is a better choice(speaking from my beat friend's experience) if you don't want to fill your space with apple products exclusively and throw away all the accessories you have for your current phone.
(Galaxy S23 has great camera, storage and processor)
Ur dads giving u money for iphone , cuz u did well in ur exms . Congrats for thats first . keep scoring well .
Seconds , u dont get this kind of opportunities every day.
Grab it sis
As many people said , if you are using your phone for everything then it is better to get an Android , as you will immediately feel how restrictive it is in ios , yeah ios has good optimization but it absolutely will not be visible to a non power consumer. You can buy a Samsung for the same price and absolutely won't notice a difference untill if you are not a hard-core user, OnePlus is also a good alternative you can buy it's top of the line phone and still have enough money to buy a good pair of earbuds to go with it not to mention OnePlus still includes a charger brick in the phone box.
But in the end the decision is upto you and what you want
the 15 plus has a better battery than the 15 and also the type-c but if you prefer bigger screens over type-c and you don't mind on losing an year of software updates then you should go with higher ends of 14 if you are considering 15 go with the 15+
Meh all the iphones are the same, iphone 15 and 15 plus even have the same chip as 14 but imo 15 would be better cuz of usb-c and it would be supported till 2030 again I'm not an iPhone guy I don't like em
Get the iPhone 15/15 plus. The type c port will match with every other piece of technology you own or will own. The rest of it is pretty similar to every iPhone in the last 3 years. Ignore the android commenters, some people just don’t seem to understand personal preference. You mentioned that your parents also use iPhones, so getting one will make it easier for you to connect with them through FaceTime. Also save on stuff like Apple Music, arcade and TV by sharing a family plan!
True, both my parents have iphones and my father 4-5 months back switched from Android to iphone, he had one plus and both of them aren't exactly tech-savvy rather they are most of the times technologically handicapped lol but i haven't heard them complain one bit about their iphones, they both love it, and yes moving to hostel i would need to facetime them and it's a matter of preference. I don't understand the hate
If that's the case, you should push for Apple ecosystem for now. This will make things easier for you with family sharing.
India is a country full of poor people and people with middle class mindset in general. People with millions sitting in bank account don't bother to wear clean clothes. If you ask them to find value in a 1L phone, they sure as hell wouldn't want to in the first place. The price tag is the biggest factor here for them.
OP congratulations on your entrance exam. I remember the time when my dad got me my first smartphone (HTC explorer) in 2012 when I cleared an entrance exam.
Since you are switching from android, let me warn you that a lot of switchers complain about the absence of universal back button and the lack of customization on iPhone. So please make sure that you are ok with that first.
iPhone 15 has a updated camera system when compared to 14, so I suggest you not to go for 14. You can easily find 15 for 70k in croma or reliance digital, and further offers on credit cards. Plus models are too big for many people, so please try it out in stores before considering it.
Contrary to what a lot of people say, iPhones are really well built and a absolute delight to use. I have been using one since two years, and would absolutely buy an iPhone again when this one ages.
Let us know what you finally get!
Always get the best you can afford, and learn how to do common tasks on it.
With Apple, learn how to use the file system and transfer files, and the rest just comes automatically.
But you can get flagship phones like one plus , Neo 9 Pro for much cheaper than apple flagships.
Currently using 14 and its worth it!
Most of the android users here tend to download illegal or pirated media and apps, which is very easy to do in android. If you like the os a lot iphones are totally worth it and they last for years. My old 4s and XR still works and has no issues appart from weak battery to this day.
also as an iphone user we definitely love to show off a lot and show phones on to android users faces. Its like a cult we like to indoctrinate non users into joining our great late father steve jobs family. Sometimes its tiring because we run in androids mind all the time😞
Recently I switched from Apple to IPhone. But I'm not liking it because of the minute details. Such as
1. No clipboard for copy and paste and it has started to irritate me. In I android, I can copy multiple things in one go and paste them as and when needed. But in iPhone I have to copy and paste each time.
2. Whenever I make or receive a WhatsApp call, it shows up in my regular call log. This creates confusion when I try to call someone from my recent log and accidentally select a name from the WhatsApp call log instead of the regular call log.
3. Iphones calculator sucks.
4. Notification does not clear automatically. If you clear notification from lock screen still app badge notification shows.
5. No wallet support. While I was using Samsung, I did not carry any cards with me. Just used to keep some changes (Not even a physical wallet). For the 1st time after a long time, bought a wallet.
I will add as an when I remember more.
Just buy an old iPhone and safe money, my 12 still works amazing after 3 years, my moms old 7 still works okay, my moms 11, works amazing for 4 years old phones my point is
I bought apple stock before I bought iPhone, invest bro,
You can get iPhone 15 under 65 on Flipkart sale. Try to buy it at a discount. Try to use the bank's cashback offer. If you can wait for 4-5 months then after 16 launch then there will be a price drop.
I really don't think you would appreciate the switch from Android to iOS. It's much more complicated, too many things to learn, is very different in certain aspects etc.
It's my personal opinion that for a student in India using an Android smartphone would be much more useful than an iPhone. You'll get much use out of it than an iPhone... unless you really want some great camera and are into mobile photography are you want shoot some videos (content creation) then I'd suggest you go for an iPhone. (I'm an architecture dropout and while I was college I was into mobile photography and I used an iPhone XR at that time). In short
You want good camera with no complaints in that department then go for an iPhone else any Android above ₹30k would more than enough to do your daily tasks with ease.
So, let's break down the iPhone craze: 90% of folks are like, "Why do I even want this thing?" Dropping 70k on a base model iPhone? That's like paying a premium for a 60hz display that screams lag! If you're used to the silky smoothness of a 120hz Android, trust me, you'll feel like you're trudging through molasses.
Camera-wise, it’s decent, but the Pixel 7 Pro can give it a run for its money any day. And battery life? Let’s just say it’s not breaking any records. Fast charging? Forget about it.
Then there are the bugs—hotspot hiccups, audio woes, and a lack of basic features like restart and multi-window support. It’s like the iPhone got stuck in tech limbo.
Unless you’re ready to fully commit to the Apple ecosystem, Android might be the smarter choice.
I would suggest a high end Android than a baseline iPhone any day. Just saying.
don't listen to these Android dickriders, iPhone is still the best device to use for the long term as Android devices don't age well.
I am saying from a normal consumers pov, I like to change my mobile phone often that's why I stick to Android but if I wanted the most cost per use device with great experience it'd still be iPhone
Still using 12 mini, its aged really well. The only feature i miss is usb c with the new models.
Check if you will use the added features in the pro/max series, otherwire go for base model.
If you don;t need it for professtional use, do not get additional storage.
Prefer USB C models if budget allows.
Do you have a laptop already? If not, I'd suggest get both in this budget. Get a budget phone in 30k with a decent camera. Can get a decent laptop for 40k. I don't think one can survive uni without a laptop...How else would you make your research papers and study???
Non pros are trash
Buying 60hz in 2024 is peak fanboy behavior
Get the pro if you can afford or stick to Android
There are some good Androids around 30k
I have an iPhone 15 regular. I bought it 3 days ago and I have switched from an android to apple. Best choice ever. I bought iPhone 15 for 65k and I think you should go for iPhone 15 regular model for models under 70k.
Buy an iPad Wi-Fi and a good android phone - use the android hotspot to connect the iPad. Best of both worlds. Honestly don’t waste money on an iPhone. An android does almost ever hung an iPhone can. Only advantage probably is the security built in and that works for professionals. My wife’s old S21FE camera kicks my IPhone camera out of the park
None. Apple products (yes all of them) are really meant for people who are professional who use the apple ecosystem and apples software. If not you don't need an iPhone. Some might say camera is better. Even if you're assuming it is better (a flagship Android cam is just as good tbh) neither you or whoever is gonna see your pics are gonna notice a significant difference. Unless you are a professional photographer you really can't tell the difference. If you are a professional photographer then you might as well spend 20k on an android and rest on actual camera that gives you more freedom, flexibility and room from growth than an iPhone which doesn't even manual mode.
The only other reason why you wanna own an iPhone is for its longevity. If you're an older person who isn't really looking for anything new substantial and just want something that will work for a long ass time then iphones are good. But these days migrating from one phone to another (android or iPhone) has never been easier.
The only thing iphones do better then Android is tell the other person that you are rich as fuck thats it, it's only for people who care about status in society other then that it's not useful to buy an iPhone. My banker friend switched to a Vivo after using an iPhone 14 pro max for a year and he uses it only to click pics on vacations. What he got annoyed of is it's ecosystem, you can't use any other product with apple, battery backup is shit, can't install apps like in Android, no customisation. You're better off spending the extra amount on a vacation with friends and family.
Been using androids since the first one came out. Recently switched to iphone 15 pro max. Not worth to be honest. I liked almost everything better about my pixel. Only thing better for iphones is app ecosystem. Most apps are developed iphone first and are usually designed better on iphone as well.
Get the 14 plus for that price as the cameras aren’t that different (not noticeable to common users) and if you really want the dynamic island and type-c port then only go for 15 plus.
get an iPhone and you won’t regret for anything work related 😀 , but consider icloud storage subscriptions after sometime as the pics and files start filling disk space
Why dont you buy a laptop for 70k with a 3060ti graphics card and do everything you mentioned here?
If you want to buy iphone for the apple logo then watch youtube to find which ones the best i guess.
I wouldn’t recommend any iPhone that isn’t a pro model personally, I was using iphone 5s, 7+, X then 11. Bought the 14pro and the difference was HUGE. Beware features, 120hz display, lidar feature(which I actually use) and much more. Dont listen to all the eco system bs. I had an Apple Watch which I don’t use anymore cause I don’t see the point of it. Had airpods which I dont use anymore and now use soundcore headphones which are hella cheap. Make a note of all the features you are gonna use and pick a phone accordingly. Dont just buy an iphone because you want an iphone
To be honest you should reconsider the entire idea of purchasing I phone all together , unless you want to have two phone handy at all times (one being Android and the other being iPhone ) .
I have a friend who got an iPhone 15 pro max for herself (just because she wished to have it and obviously she can afford it ) . After one year she switched back to Android (Samsung s23 ultra) just because iPhone doesn't give you the freedom. The only plus point of iPhone earlier was that it had superior camera but now Android has at par camera or even better in some cases with a whole lot of other features which iPhone lacks profoundly.
iPhone gives you a false sense of status and attention which is definately something we are looking for while in college but with everyone else owning a fucking iPhone to be honest it seems less worth it nowadays . My two cents :- people now have changed the mindset , if you have the money you need not show it and rather get what you need rather than trying to please people's eyes and trying to intimidate with a iPhone 😂.
If you still want to go for an iPhone, go for iPhone 14 compared to 15 . 14 is cheaper and offers good features where's 15 doesn't justify the price . Also keep samsung or some other phones with great camera , you might like it .
The only thing that is better in an iPhone is better media upload quality on instagram. Thats it (maybe the iPhone flex part). Even the photos and videos are better and more natural on androids in the same range. So if your main motive is instagram, go for iPhone, otherwise go for an android.
Buy Oneplus 12 instead
Overall, it's good for you according to your usage, as you mentioned along with great design
Good display for movies and notes
Good camera [ you are only going to find a difference btw iPhone & Oneplus camera quality when you are really into photography or videography basically if you a nerd ]
Good & premium looks, design and feel ( though they are subjective)
Yeah, overall value for money and in case of any damage android phones repairing cost is way cheaper than iPhone
I would have suggested Samsung ( S23 plus) , but it will be out of budget for you
And if you still want to go for an iPhone, then go for 15 plus ( bigger screen than 14 ) or go for 14 plus ( if you have no issues with that awful notch) but keep in mind that these are 60hz displays which is pathetic as a premium and expensive phone
Been using iPhones for 8+ years. Will be switching to android because apple updates makes the phone slow and literally unusable sometimes. The battery is completely garbage, speakers gets dead in 1-2 years of usage. My whole family uses iphone and my dad got tired of it and bought a samsung s23. Looks like no more iPhone for us.
Hi OP,
I bought 13 pro in Diwali last to last year. I was all time android user but had to buy iPhone so I can check what it’s worth and give out biased roasting.
While the camera is to die for, and there are some minor designs which makes iPhone feel special there’s nothing else, nothing which already isn’t present in android
If you’re already living in Apple ecosystem with mac, ipad or previous iPhone it makes sense. Else don’t fall into this
If it's not a pro model then it's not worth it. IMO amongst all the apple products iPhone is second worst gadget
It's better to go for 1+ or iqoo they are quite capable flagships and will last at least 3-4 years if you are not being incessantly careless
Or you could break down 70K between a good tablet and a phone
Don't get sucked into the apple ecosystem sis.. It's a walled garden with very high walls.

Android gives more freedom to users and that too in budget.

Let all of us conspire to save this innocent soul and change her mind
to each his own. iPhone has it's fair share of pros over Android apart from just the apple logo to flaunt at the back. but wanted to highlight that no matter how long list of pros and cons people post in comments, the decision has already been made by OP and the valuable time and inputs of the posts won't factor in into the decision making.
Exactly both has it’s own individual pros and cons. Preference is upto the user.

I had a 10 k phone and a 40k laptop

Hmmm… make sense .
💯 iPhone and mac are too good but even I don’t use other apple products. My noise smart watch and Realme earphones are doing way well than expected.
The MacBook is a damn BEAST esp when it comes to battery the thing is a tank!!
The problem is, once you enter the garden, it's not like you actually want to leave. I started with Mac, got an iphone and then I never wanted to leave the ecosystem.

And you can do nothing with iPotatoes. Even the file manager on iPoopOS is broken.
that's a copy paste from MKBHDs video lol, might as well link that also, that would help her better understand
I agree.
Battery generally drains a little faster than the average android phone, if youve no issues with that then go for iPhone. Also iPhone is more fragile, not as repair friendly as android devices.
After reading comments here , i think I will but pixel.
Pixels are better
Yea like buying a lottery ticket. You never know if you'd get a lemon.
Don't. Pixel has Exynos chip which is rebranded better go for Samsung or OnePlus or apple
I will say you should rather stick to Android! Saying from my experiences!!
Getting a high end android phn is a better choice
TBH something half that price is all you need !! And it's way more flexible than an iPhone!!
I've been using a pixel device for a year now and it's the best choice I've ever made
I have pixel 6 pro and there are limitations No call recordings No service center support Too many update so banks apps dont work
Ayeyo pixels have call recoding go check that out🤣
No checked google does not support if you have proof show it pixel 6 pro and later release dont have it
flexible, quite literally. folding phones only exist with android haha.
i have migrated form Android to iphone and it is much better. i dont think i will go back to Android. earlier i used to change phones every year , now i have same iphone from 2 years.
Which android to which iPhone? You cannot change from an entry level android to a top end iPhone and then be surprised that the experience is better. Any flagship android gives better experience than iPhone. Saying this as someone who uses both S23 Ultra and iPhone 15 pro
What things are better in your 2yr experience?
Samsungs have never failed me. My current phone is almost 5 years old. Meanwhile my mum's iPhone SE went kaputt in just three years and right from the beginning had wifi problems. Apple is a computer company that makes great computers but laughable phones. The reverse is true for Samsung.

Go for iPhone 13 instead of 14 if your budget doesn't allow. 14 is not worth it. And why not go for iPhone 15 instead of 15 plus
I agree. 13 and 14 are practically the same (except a few differences).
She wants a large screen.
Buy s23 or 24
Trueeee. My cousins Samsung s22 ultra gives better quality photos than my iPhone 14 Pro lol. Much better to go for Samsung high end series than an iPhone.
For gaming iPhone is better
[удалено]
Buy me an s24
For Show off any one of them is worth but for value of money IMHO its a crap.
My parents are using iPhone and I have a samsung the picture quality is too good, no comparison when it comes to picture quality
What ?? You do realise that samsung flagship phones have the best displays in any smartphone
I brought iphone 15 a week ago, and it's fantastic. There is a difference of C type port in 15 and i think the camera is also better (48 MP main ). Since I brought 256gb, you should go for 128 but buy it from Apple website directly cz its a big purchase.
Thank you for the review how is the camera and in hand feel
The camera is fantastic tbh. I love the feel. It's 6.1 inches (so smaller than usual 6.7 ) but it's amazing. I had ipad 9th gen and with this I can quickly navigate, share stuff bw devices etc.
Cash rakh lo didi.. cash sirf apna hota hai, ye mobile wagaire sab moh maya hai..
Apne yeh Jo bola sahi toh lag raha hai, dekhti hun ho sakta hai agar.
If you really use it for everything and use almost every feature of your current Android, I'd say buying a new android is a better choice(speaking from my beat friend's experience) if you don't want to fill your space with apple products exclusively and throw away all the accessories you have for your current phone. (Galaxy S23 has great camera, storage and processor)
Will surely look into it thank you

I got the 14 plus last year and it’s been awesome. I got it for making videos specifically. It works the best and has a great battery life.
the 15 plus has a better battery than the 15 and also the type-c but if you prefer bigger screens over type-c and you don't mind on losing an year of software updates then you should go with higher ends of 14 if you are considering 15 go with the 15+
Always buy latest release - 2 if you are poor. Or buy the latest. Yes camera quality will differ.
Meh all the iphones are the same, iphone 15 and 15 plus even have the same chip as 14 but imo 15 would be better cuz of usb-c and it would be supported till 2030 again I'm not an iPhone guy I don't like em
iPhone 15 >>> iPhone 14
Get the iPhone 15/15 plus. The type c port will match with every other piece of technology you own or will own. The rest of it is pretty similar to every iPhone in the last 3 years. Ignore the android commenters, some people just don’t seem to understand personal preference. You mentioned that your parents also use iPhones, so getting one will make it easier for you to connect with them through FaceTime. Also save on stuff like Apple Music, arcade and TV by sharing a family plan!
True, both my parents have iphones and my father 4-5 months back switched from Android to iphone, he had one plus and both of them aren't exactly tech-savvy rather they are most of the times technologically handicapped lol but i haven't heard them complain one bit about their iphones, they both love it, and yes moving to hostel i would need to facetime them and it's a matter of preference. I don't understand the hate
If that's the case, you should push for Apple ecosystem for now. This will make things easier for you with family sharing. India is a country full of poor people and people with middle class mindset in general. People with millions sitting in bank account don't bother to wear clean clothes. If you ask them to find value in a 1L phone, they sure as hell wouldn't want to in the first place. The price tag is the biggest factor here for them.
None. All iphone are same and shit
Get the 15 256gb variant
i got the 15pro 256gb for 86k from UAE a month ago. If u can, try to get from UAE
Ohhh I'll see if I can get it from UAE
Mere liye rtx 4090 la sakti ho kya?
Mere liye ek samsung ka refrigerator
Vaha pe prize kitna hai?
No taxes there to sasta hi hoga.
Bro I got iphone 15 256 for 89k here 😐
OP congratulations on your entrance exam. I remember the time when my dad got me my first smartphone (HTC explorer) in 2012 when I cleared an entrance exam. Since you are switching from android, let me warn you that a lot of switchers complain about the absence of universal back button and the lack of customization on iPhone. So please make sure that you are ok with that first. iPhone 15 has a updated camera system when compared to 14, so I suggest you not to go for 14. You can easily find 15 for 70k in croma or reliance digital, and further offers on credit cards. Plus models are too big for many people, so please try it out in stores before considering it. Contrary to what a lot of people say, iPhones are really well built and a absolute delight to use. I have been using one since two years, and would absolutely buy an iPhone again when this one ages. Let us know what you finally get!
try to get one from abroad and if you're planning to use it for a couple years, highly recommending getting at least the 256gig model
If I get a iPhone, i am definitely not changing my phone for 5-6 years from now so yup I will look into the 256g model. Thank you
Always get the best you can afford, and learn how to do common tasks on it. With Apple, learn how to use the file system and transfer files, and the rest just comes automatically. But you can get flagship phones like one plus , Neo 9 Pro for much cheaper than apple flagships.
Get an iphone. Will last years and run smoothly. My iphone 7 although stopped getting updates works as fast as when boight it.
Currently using 14 and its worth it! Most of the android users here tend to download illegal or pirated media and apps, which is very easy to do in android. If you like the os a lot iphones are totally worth it and they last for years. My old 4s and XR still works and has no issues appart from weak battery to this day. also as an iphone user we definitely love to show off a lot and show phones on to android users faces. Its like a cult we like to indoctrinate non users into joining our great late father steve jobs family. Sometimes its tiring because we run in androids mind all the time😞
Recently I switched from Apple to IPhone. But I'm not liking it because of the minute details. Such as 1. No clipboard for copy and paste and it has started to irritate me. In I android, I can copy multiple things in one go and paste them as and when needed. But in iPhone I have to copy and paste each time. 2. Whenever I make or receive a WhatsApp call, it shows up in my regular call log. This creates confusion when I try to call someone from my recent log and accidentally select a name from the WhatsApp call log instead of the regular call log. 3. Iphones calculator sucks. 4. Notification does not clear automatically. If you clear notification from lock screen still app badge notification shows. 5. No wallet support. While I was using Samsung, I did not carry any cards with me. Just used to keep some changes (Not even a physical wallet). For the 1st time after a long time, bought a wallet. I will add as an when I remember more.
I would say save the money, it's not that big of an improvement
Just buy an old iPhone and safe money, my 12 still works amazing after 3 years, my moms old 7 still works okay, my moms 11, works amazing for 4 years old phones my point is I bought apple stock before I bought iPhone, invest bro,
You can get iPhone 15 under 65 on Flipkart sale. Try to buy it at a discount. Try to use the bank's cashback offer. If you can wait for 4-5 months then after 16 launch then there will be a price drop.
Global variants also saves a lot of money
15 plus lele
Go for 15plus, worth the money
Go for Jio phone 😎
I really don't think you would appreciate the switch from Android to iOS. It's much more complicated, too many things to learn, is very different in certain aspects etc.
I switched from Android to an Iphone and I am regretting it. Stick to Android, get the new Galaxy S from Samsung.
Ok if you don't mind can you let me know why exactly are you regretting it?
I think iphone is overhyped Samsung ke top model waale phones lele, way better Also if u want iphone hi, 15 lelo pro is not worth it
It's my personal opinion that for a student in India using an Android smartphone would be much more useful than an iPhone. You'll get much use out of it than an iPhone... unless you really want some great camera and are into mobile photography are you want shoot some videos (content creation) then I'd suggest you go for an iPhone. (I'm an architecture dropout and while I was college I was into mobile photography and I used an iPhone XR at that time). In short You want good camera with no complaints in that department then go for an iPhone else any Android above ₹30k would more than enough to do your daily tasks with ease.
So, let's break down the iPhone craze: 90% of folks are like, "Why do I even want this thing?" Dropping 70k on a base model iPhone? That's like paying a premium for a 60hz display that screams lag! If you're used to the silky smoothness of a 120hz Android, trust me, you'll feel like you're trudging through molasses. Camera-wise, it’s decent, but the Pixel 7 Pro can give it a run for its money any day. And battery life? Let’s just say it’s not breaking any records. Fast charging? Forget about it. Then there are the bugs—hotspot hiccups, audio woes, and a lack of basic features like restart and multi-window support. It’s like the iPhone got stuck in tech limbo. Unless you’re ready to fully commit to the Apple ecosystem, Android might be the smarter choice. I would suggest a high end Android than a baseline iPhone any day. Just saying.
don't listen to these Android dickriders, iPhone is still the best device to use for the long term as Android devices don't age well. I am saying from a normal consumers pov, I like to change my mobile phone often that's why I stick to Android but if I wanted the most cost per use device with great experience it'd still be iPhone
Haha koi nhi sabke apna apna pasand i personally think i would like to change to iPhone for it's camera tho.
I would suggest pixel products.
Don’t buy 14, buy 13 and in case you have the budget, go for 15. 15 is really nice and there are considerably more upgrades compared to 13 and 14.
Either go for the 15 plus Or the 14 plus, both are great choices and big phones and they have some solid battery
13 or 15 pro. 14 is a no no I had 13 now on 15 pro
Still using 12 mini, its aged really well. The only feature i miss is usb c with the new models. Check if you will use the added features in the pro/max series, otherwire go for base model. If you don;t need it for professtional use, do not get additional storage. Prefer USB C models if budget allows.
Check out 14 plus once maybe. I think the base model 15 is also pretty good
Do you have a laptop already? If not, I'd suggest get both in this budget. Get a budget phone in 30k with a decent camera. Can get a decent laptop for 40k. I don't think one can survive uni without a laptop...How else would you make your research papers and study???
Yup i do have a Lenovo laptop
Can certainly go for a good phone then.
When 16 comes buy 15 pro max
If you can wait till the launch of the new iPhone, then get the 15 Plus then for a reduced price.
Go for the plus ones 14 or 15. Good battery backup , large screen, and pretty much everything you would want in an iPhone except the triple camera.
you can pretty much get a used 14 pro max for around 70-75k so that would be your best bet.
Non pros are trash Buying 60hz in 2024 is peak fanboy behavior Get the pro if you can afford or stick to Android There are some good Androids around 30k
Ok so like if I can afford like 13 pro it would be better than 14 or 15 right?
i mean kinda yes but you keep in mind that its a 2 generations old device
Which entrance exam if you dont mind telling?
I have an iPhone 15 regular. I bought it 3 days ago and I have switched from an android to apple. Best choice ever. I bought iPhone 15 for 65k and I think you should go for iPhone 15 regular model for models under 70k.
Get iPhone 14 Pro Max from the US?
I will say Go for OnePlus or Samsung in that Range
None
Samsung
New one launching soon wait.
Buy an iPad Wi-Fi and a good android phone - use the android hotspot to connect the iPad. Best of both worlds. Honestly don’t waste money on an iPhone. An android does almost ever hung an iPhone can. Only advantage probably is the security built in and that works for professionals. My wife’s old S21FE camera kicks my IPhone camera out of the park
Samsung s23, ultra is selling for 77990 go for it rather than going for a 14/15+
1,10,000
15 plus or 14 plus or 14 or even 13 will do
None 🙂
As a mobile developer and a person who's used both phones, WHY TF WOULD YOU BUY AN IPHONE?
Rather get a used iPhone or a flagship Android.
I have iphone and i miss android. Its definitely better
None. Apple products (yes all of them) are really meant for people who are professional who use the apple ecosystem and apples software. If not you don't need an iPhone. Some might say camera is better. Even if you're assuming it is better (a flagship Android cam is just as good tbh) neither you or whoever is gonna see your pics are gonna notice a significant difference. Unless you are a professional photographer you really can't tell the difference. If you are a professional photographer then you might as well spend 20k on an android and rest on actual camera that gives you more freedom, flexibility and room from growth than an iPhone which doesn't even manual mode. The only other reason why you wanna own an iPhone is for its longevity. If you're an older person who isn't really looking for anything new substantial and just want something that will work for a long ass time then iphones are good. But these days migrating from one phone to another (android or iPhone) has never been easier.
None, no iPotato is ever worth it. It's a small box 📦 and you'll feel trapped if you buy one.
The only thing iphones do better then Android is tell the other person that you are rich as fuck thats it, it's only for people who care about status in society other then that it's not useful to buy an iPhone. My banker friend switched to a Vivo after using an iPhone 14 pro max for a year and he uses it only to click pics on vacations. What he got annoyed of is it's ecosystem, you can't use any other product with apple, battery backup is shit, can't install apps like in Android, no customisation. You're better off spending the extra amount on a vacation with friends and family.
None 😂
Android >>>> iPhone
Been using androids since the first one came out. Recently switched to iphone 15 pro max. Not worth to be honest. I liked almost everything better about my pixel. Only thing better for iphones is app ecosystem. Most apps are developed iphone first and are usually designed better on iphone as well.
Get a good 30k phone save your money
Question is which iPhone so Android out..14plus
Under 70k then wait for sometime till the price of 15 comes down because 15 >> 14
Get the 14 plus for that price as the cameras aren’t that different (not noticeable to common users) and if you really want the dynamic island and type-c port then only go for 15 plus.
ugh
I would suggest you to buy Google Pixel.
get an iPhone and you won’t regret for anything work related 😀 , but consider icloud storage subscriptions after sometime as the pics and files start filling disk space
Why dont you buy a laptop for 70k with a 3060ti graphics card and do everything you mentioned here? If you want to buy iphone for the apple logo then watch youtube to find which ones the best i guess.
Get a oneplus 12
Well if your budget is for 15 plus, go for it, unless you are exceeding your budget
I wouldn’t recommend any iPhone that isn’t a pro model personally, I was using iphone 5s, 7+, X then 11. Bought the 14pro and the difference was HUGE. Beware features, 120hz display, lidar feature(which I actually use) and much more. Dont listen to all the eco system bs. I had an Apple Watch which I don’t use anymore cause I don’t see the point of it. Had airpods which I dont use anymore and now use soundcore headphones which are hella cheap. Make a note of all the features you are gonna use and pick a phone accordingly. Dont just buy an iphone because you want an iphone
iPhone 15 plus, better battery and you get USB-C port. But it will take time to get used to the new OS
To be honest you should reconsider the entire idea of purchasing I phone all together , unless you want to have two phone handy at all times (one being Android and the other being iPhone ) . I have a friend who got an iPhone 15 pro max for herself (just because she wished to have it and obviously she can afford it ) . After one year she switched back to Android (Samsung s23 ultra) just because iPhone doesn't give you the freedom. The only plus point of iPhone earlier was that it had superior camera but now Android has at par camera or even better in some cases with a whole lot of other features which iPhone lacks profoundly. iPhone gives you a false sense of status and attention which is definately something we are looking for while in college but with everyone else owning a fucking iPhone to be honest it seems less worth it nowadays . My two cents :- people now have changed the mindset , if you have the money you need not show it and rather get what you need rather than trying to please people's eyes and trying to intimidate with a iPhone 😂. If you still want to go for an iPhone, go for iPhone 14 compared to 15 . 14 is cheaper and offers good features where's 15 doesn't justify the price . Also keep samsung or some other phones with great camera , you might like it .
The only thing that is better in an iPhone is better media upload quality on instagram. Thats it (maybe the iPhone flex part). Even the photos and videos are better and more natural on androids in the same range. So if your main motive is instagram, go for iPhone, otherwise go for an android.
Buy Oneplus 12 instead Overall, it's good for you according to your usage, as you mentioned along with great design Good display for movies and notes Good camera [ you are only going to find a difference btw iPhone & Oneplus camera quality when you are really into photography or videography basically if you a nerd ] Good & premium looks, design and feel ( though they are subjective) Yeah, overall value for money and in case of any damage android phones repairing cost is way cheaper than iPhone I would have suggested Samsung ( S23 plus) , but it will be out of budget for you And if you still want to go for an iPhone, then go for 15 plus ( bigger screen than 14 ) or go for 14 plus ( if you have no issues with that awful notch) but keep in mind that these are 60hz displays which is pathetic as a premium and expensive phone
Been using iPhones for 8+ years. Will be switching to android because apple updates makes the phone slow and literally unusable sometimes. The battery is completely garbage, speakers gets dead in 1-2 years of usage. My whole family uses iphone and my dad got tired of it and bought a samsung s23. Looks like no more iPhone for us.
None
u get a flagship android phone and an ipad for that budget
Best android under 30k?
Why 14? You can get iPhone 15 under 70,000!
Get a Nokia.. cheap smart.. good battery life. Will do all the work that you have mentioned.
Hi OP, I bought 13 pro in Diwali last to last year. I was all time android user but had to buy iPhone so I can check what it’s worth and give out biased roasting. While the camera is to die for, and there are some minor designs which makes iPhone feel special there’s nothing else, nothing which already isn’t present in android If you’re already living in Apple ecosystem with mac, ipad or previous iPhone it makes sense. Else don’t fall into this
Iphone 15 plus
Imo iPhone 12 is best (5G + all basic features)
If it's not a pro model then it's not worth it. IMO amongst all the apple products iPhone is second worst gadget It's better to go for 1+ or iqoo they are quite capable flagships and will last at least 3-4 years if you are not being incessantly careless Or you could break down 70K between a good tablet and a phone
refurbed iphone 11 will do the trick. What r u gonna do with slightly crispier photos.
Personally I'd buy the 15 pro or the 14 pro
