So I’m kinda considering getting a 15 Pro, after owning a 15 for a couple of months now, and I’m wondering how is the battery life these days? Also, anyone who doesn’t use AOD can chime in if their 15 Pros can survive a day worth of moderate use?
Got a tip for us?

Absolutely. Even with AOD on, I go to bed with 60-70% remaining. It's insane. Keep in mind though, it wasn't as good the first few days I had it, but now that I've settled back into my habits, the battery is great.
I’d consider myself a moderate to sometimes heavy user. I use AOD on my 15 Pro, and I usually have about 30% left on the battery at the end of the day. If I’m using the device more heavily, I will charge up when I’m in the car. But I don’t have any issue making it to the end of the day with the battery.
Sorry I charge twice per day with 15 Pro. Not a gamer. The battery is much worse than my 13 Pro.
it will be better especially if you go Pro Max. Honestly the 15PM isn’t as good as my 13PM was in battery life but it’s still great all day battery. I usually end the day right around 20-23%. I use my phone all day constantly. And with the AOD. I’ve tried the AOD turned off but didn’t not affect battery life so back on it goes.
My Pro Max lasts me through the day, maybe a day and a half if I push it. AOD on and I don't "baby" the battery at all. I consider myself a moderate to heavy user.
I have had the 13pro and now the 15pro. I turned AOD off not because of battery saving but because I use a wallet phone so I never would see it. Battery life is good for a whole day and I use mine moderately.
These are the general consensus I’ve observed for the past months:
15 pro and pro max = ”no issue ending the day with remaining battery, absolutely satisfied”
15 plus = “ending the day with almost half the battery remaining, absolutely beast”
15 pro and pro max = ”no issue ending the day with remaining battery, absolutely satisfied”
15 plus = “ending the day with almost half the battery remaining, absolutely beast”
Got one for my chick, seems to do fine, she uses the always on too which I think is silly, but seems to make it through the day without issue
I plan on getting an iPhone 16 myself hopefully the base iPhone 16 will get the 17 pro chip in some configuration and it too will be able to play PlayStation 5 like games to.
For sure, but I think I’m done with larger phones to be honest. It’s the main reason why I ditched my 13 PM to a regular 15.
I came from a 13 mini to my 15 Pro and so far so good. I work a desk job with a magsafe charging stand on my desk so it stays topped up to 80% while I'm working. I rarely see it dip below 40%, even with heavy use, and I have AOD turned on. If I didn't have the ability to charge at regular intervals during the day it would be a better test I guess, but I used my 13 mini the same way and the battery on it was definitely not lasting nearly as long when I was away from the charger.
I have AOD and the 80% charge setting on and I'm usually at around 30% at the end of the day. I work from home, though, so phone is mainly on wifi. Right now it's at 56% and I took it off the charger about 9 hours ago.
I see. I don’t think I’ll be able to cope with a battery life of 13 mini. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I don't understand how this is possible. How much screen time do you have per day on your phone? If you go to Settings -> Battery what does it say the main source of battery drain is? What app?
I have a crappy iPhone X and I don't even need to charge it twice per day. When the battery was at 74% just before I got it replaced, that's when I had to charge twice a day.
I mean with a full time job, hobbies that aren't just scrolling my phone, cooking, getting some exercise, I think I'd actually have a hard time draining the battery. How are you guys doing it?
You could make it last longer without AOD and 120Hz on though.
