What reviews? It was just released today. Anyone complaining about day one battery needs to take a step back and remember the process a phone goes through after the initial setup.
Every YouTuber I saw with early iPhone samples observed the 15 as a Little worse than the 14 Pro.
But to be fair, they were running the upgraded GPU through the wringer with desktop level gaming.
I don't really care what the shill YouTube influencers have to say.
Well, if they were shills, they wouldn’t be negative about the battery life.
I went from the 13pro to 15pro but it’s way too early to tell anything. Maybe by Monday I can give an assessment.
This is why I’m waiting for some more real world use reports and feedback. If there is no improvement to battery life there’s really very little incentive for me to upgrade from 13 Pro. I’d rather change the battery and use it some more.

The reviewers had the devices for a week now, so they should know.

in the last 3 to 4 hours of using my phone, the battery life on the 15 Pro Max has been equal to have not worse than the 14 Pro Max. Keep in mind this is after the phone has been completely set up and index.
If Apple just increased the mAh to a point that it made the iPhone 15 Pro Max weigh the same as our 13 Pro Max then we'd have better battery life.
I'm not going to pay much attention for the first couple of weeks. There's a lot of noise that comes with new OS versions, and new device setups, IMO.
It's unfortunate that so many people are still unaware that they shouldn't judge the battery performance of a brand new phone. There's a ton of installation happening, configurations, and yes, the infamous 'indexing' (the OS learning what's where for fast searching, photo inspections, etc) that will burn a lot of energy on the backend.
Anyone that tries to determine how well the battery performs within those first 24 hours or so isn't going to be getting an accurate reading, at all.
Battery life has so many variables, it's almost impossible to compare two phones. Especially two phones in different environments, different apps, different settings, different usage. Hence why every year you see a bunch of people saying they have the worst battery life ever and a bunch saying it's the best ever. (This isn't even taking into account the fact that battery life after restoring a backup is always going to be bad for a few days, if not the first week.)
Personally I never take stock in anyone else's battery life. I use my phone normally. If the battery life seems problematic then I try to see what's causing it on my device.
