iPhone 15 Pro 15 Pro/PM users, upgrading?

[avro707]

I went from Natural Titanium 128GB iPhone 15 Pro to Cosmic Orange 256GB iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I got maximum trade in value on the old phone. It was perfect, pristine condition and even still had the original box, the original receipts and the original bag it came in.

Like the above person, I also wasn't entirely happy with the iPhone 15 Pro battery performance.

For me the camera is good enough for my needs so that's not really a limitation for me.

1 week in and Im actually really liking the Air so far. As I said, the camera is good enough for my needs, the mono speaker is a non issue for my usage, Im finding the battery is serving me slightly better than my 15 Pro did, and Im enjoying how light and thin it is. One handed use is more or less the same as the Pro, better in hand than the Pro in some respects, but a bit worse in others.

I think I will end up keeping it, it actually feels like a "new" phone for me which I haven't felt in a very long time with iPhones.

Well, having said all that I haven decided to go back to the 15Pro. I've been experiencing soreness in my left hand (particularly in my little finger) which Im putting down to the increased size. Have ordered a refurbed pro and am going to return the Air. I know the Pro isn't going to cause hand issues having had one for the last 18 months and Im getting a new battery and outer shell for less than the price of fixing my old pro.

My local Apple Store is going to love me

Just out of dumb luck, I opened up the Apple Store app and saw the regular 17 in the configuration I wanted was available, so I reserved it. I picked it up, but haven't set it up yet. A part of me wants to return it, because my 15 Pro is okay and the white titanium is still a stunner. Plus I have so many cases for 15 Pro. However the battery is at 83% and drops ~12-15% per hour, and that's while it's on wi-fi. Even when it's not doing anything the battery drops by 5%. I'm not even a heavy user. I mainly listen to either the Music app which has my downloaded music, the Podcast app, or YouTube music to listen to 1-2 albums. And the phone does get warm to the point where sometimes I do have to shut it down so it could cool off. And I'm also thinking about trade in value as well because I know once we hit the end of the year the value will drop. I'll set the phone up tomorrow at work (better wi-fi), and use it for a week and then make my final decision.

Loved my normal size 15 Pro. You just gotta get used to charging in the car and having a MagSafe battery pack with you😄
