iPhone 15 Pro 15 Pro Users - Happy or Regret

Inventory popped available at all colors at my local Apple store so I canceled my due-late-November order and ordered it for pickup.

I’m store, I actually may have liked the white more but kept titanium and it does look good anyway.

Thus far the max size is not bothering me. Kind of digging it.

I returned my 15 pro max. Sticking with my 13 pro max For another year. No hate, just was having tons of issues with my device and I personally didn’t wanna deal with the back and forth with ATT and Apple.

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.

How does battery life compare to your 13 Pro
Better or the same ?
 
The 15 Pro for me is almost perfect. The screen, size and battery life is great. Im keeping it and traded in my old 11 Pro through AT&T.

I tend to jump back and forth between Pixels and iPhones. The last iPhone I had was the 11 Pro, the battery life on that phone is untouchable in my use case and the 15 Pro is almost there. The 11 Pro i would end up at the end of the day between 35-40% and the 15 Pro i end up between 25-30%.

Cameras are a decent step up from the 11 Pro, i just need to get used to the focusing. The 11 Pro tended to capture the entire frame in detail and with the 15 Pro’s bigger sensor it tends to blur a lot of the surroundings.

Overall im satisfied 👍🏼 its a keeper!

so in other words it's a backwards step after 3 years, ok.
 
I'm really liking my 15 Pro coming from a 12. Camera is brilliant, loving the extra focal lengths. Standby mode is nice. Battery life is adequate, easily though a whole day (which my release day 12 was starting to struggle with) but getting a cycle per day all in all. Almost everything is snappy. Occasional touch issues but nothing to write home about and could easily be my clumsy fingers. The screen is lovely, buttery smooth, clear as day and bright in all lights. The AOD catches me out sometimes when I think "why hasn't it turned off" 🤣 No regrets at all.

Upgraded from 12Pro to 15Pro. Love it. One of my favorite things is Standby Mode. Battery life is fine for my use pattern. For factor is great.

I’ve been very happy with mine, and I can tell some definite improvements over my 13 Pro. If not for the good trade-in deals, I probably would have waited one more year. The weight difference is definitely noticeable as is the camera. Screen quality also seems better. I do think my 13 Pro had better battery life when new.
 
After 2 more days of use I'm definitely very happy, coming from the 13 Pro I expected to like the bigger screen of the Max that was a given with my AMD my vision worsens almost daily now. But I've had some very pleasant surprises as well, Yes it's bigger and I can see it better but the screen is crisper and clearer. The reception is noticeably better both cell and data, the voices on a call are clear and crisp on both ends.
The camera is a LOT better than the 13 Pro, I haven't used it a lot yet but the point and shoot photos are a lot crisper. For me it was definitely worth the wait and irritation.

I completely forgot to mention the battery charges from 68 to 100% in about half an hour using the exact same charger I was using for the 13 Pro, Belkin 3 in 1 wireless. Could go a lot longer between charges but it communicates with my defibrillator while I sleep so I'm not taking chances with it being charged. It still shows 100% when I wake up in the morning.

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.

Also on the plus side: If charging to 80% works for you (which it clearly does for me), the charging itself is quite fast (since you avoid the slowest part of the cycle). My daily charging takes around 25 minutes hooked up to my 14'' MBP.
 
I had a 14P and wasn't sure whether I should upgrade or not but oh boy, not only is it much nicer to look at and hold in hand but the camera system - especially with ProRes LOG, the 24MP main lens and HDR5 - is a huge upgrade IMO.
 
15 Pro from a 13 Pro, and this is easily my new favorite phone yet. So, very happy.

Max has always been too big for me to use comfortably. Tried it once a few years ago and returned it the next day.
