15 days with iphone 15

I have used iphone 15 for couple of weeks now. I have taken a bunch of calls, gone on a trip with the iphone, shot about a thousand photos and about a hundred videos, ran out of battery while doing all this a few times, had the phone heat up well enough, but did not cause any issue, I have used it for few whatsapp calls of 1 hour plus time, connected few bluetooth devices and overall used the iphone quite well. And I have found so many annoying things. It feels like a bunch of features are crazy well thought out and slickly done. At the same time there are some things which are quite annoying.

WiFi interference with Bluetooth

I was facing this issue of sound clipping with the bluetooth adapter that I have connected to my Sony Speakers. Turns out it was due to interference from 2.4GHz WiFi connection. Thankfully my WiFi router has a 5GHz wifi SSID and I could connect the laptop to that and the bluetooth audio issue was resolved. Maybe it's time I moved on to 5GHz wifi. I'll have to check which devices don't support 5GHz WiFi and if there's nobody I can safely disable that SSID. Anyway less exposure is always better for security. Cheers!!
