Very happy with mine. The 5X lens is pretty nice.
Very happy with the pro. It’s lighter and more comfortable to hold than my 13 pro. I don’t watch shows/movies on my phone so I don’t have a good use case for the pro max. I can look at pictures much larger on my iPad Pro or my Apple TV. I usually end the day around 30-50% battery so I’m happy with that.
I picked up the Pro Max then after a week sent it back as I thought it was too much like the 14.
…then I just re-bought it today - I missed it! It’s funny, I think after a lot of investigation, that the photos from the 15 Pro Max are just the best out there.
If photography is important to you, I think you need it.
Oh and, so far, the phone is running so much cooler…Apple seem to have fixed the ‘hand-warmer’ bug.

I’m overall very satisfied with my purchase. I’ve had a great experience with my 15 Pro. While I did experience some abnormal warming, as of 17.1b3 along with some system settings changes, so far it doesn’t seem to get any warmer than my 14 Pro did.
While I would’ve appreciated a sensor upgrade this year, the new ISP has given me some incredible results out of the camera. Performance is great. Battery life holds up to my expectations.
So overall, glad I purchased. Will be looking forward to upgrading to the 16 Pro if it’s getting the 5x zoom.

I'm so happy with my 15 Pro - the battery is not bad at all and I am a heavy user. It lasts me all day and I average 30-40% by bedtime when I pop it on charge again.
I got my 12 PM out today because I'm giving it to my dad, I can't believe I had a phone so big and I can't see myself going back to it.
If the rumours are true I'll be happy with a 16 pro 6.3" next year too!

Don't get me wrong, the zoom would be really nice, but there's no way I want a max sized phone. Very happy with my Pro.
Last year was the first time I "upsized" from a Pro to a 14 Pro Max. While I enjoyed the larger display for occasional media consumption, I went back to the smaller 15 Pro. So far (1 week), I've been very pleased. The smaller form factor is much more manageable for me and the battery life has been great. It comes off the charger every morning at 6:00 and goes back around 10:00PM. The battery has not dropped below 50% for me yet. BTW, it got quite warm during the initial setup, but it's been fine ever since running the latest iOS update.
Same here. On Tuesday on the London Underground, I was two seats away from a chap with a 15Pro Max. He was holding it with two hands. It looked huge and would unlikely fit in my trouser pockets. Zero remorse felt. Battery lasted comfortably from 1000am to 1900 with heavy usage taking photos, recording videos and watching videos during each of the 1hour leg. HUGE battery upgrade from my 13 Mini.
Coming from a Mini that is huge!
The Pros are just so great for battery life. I remember a tried doing a 90 minute drive with the phone unplugged and navigation on. I was still in the 90's when I got to my destination.
I have had the 15 Pro since day 1 and have had no issues.
I think there is a (loud) minority of folks who do have issues, but the great majority have a really good phone.
I came from the 13 Pro. There is a lot of little things to like about the 15 Pro. Brighter HDR in photos, better speakers, dynamic island, USB-C charger, significant weight decrease, always on display, great camera. Battery life has been fine.
IOS 17 can use more time baking in the oven, but thats another issue entirely.

I upgraded from the 14 pro max and just the weight difference is worth it too me 😂
Yes. If this were the only reason I’d be happy. But I love everything about this phone.
Upgraded from an Xs with broken FaceID and a tired battery to 15P. Very happy with it - charge it to 80% once a day and it drops to somewhere between 45% - 50% until the next day. To me, this is the perfect size phone.
I got a 15PM it’s been perfect. No problems at all with mine. I really have to work mine to get it to warm up - never hot. I only charge mine to 80% and I’ve been getting through the day with power to spare. I find my screen is very bright so I keep it turn down pretty low. The 5x camera is a fav to!
I came from a 11PM that I was happy with but the battery was down to 73% and needs replaced. I broke the 11’s screen a couple months ago so I had that replaced with a new apple screen but it’s is nowhere near as bright as the 15.
No complaints.

Happy enough, though I wish I had been given a Mini option. I still miss my 13 Mini's size, though in other respects the 15 Pro has been a good upgrade.
Just to add to this, I logged on for work at 9am (so that's when I took my phone off charge at 100% - I WFH) and I'm now in bed with 47%.
I've used my phones plenty throughout the day too so I'm pleased with the battery.

Got 15 Pro, coming from 13 Pro Max.
Very happy, still can't imagine what was in my head to carry that big brick around. It's so much comfy to have a normal sized phone..
