I just got my iphone 15 Pro Max but given all i read I will try it out and return if it is as bad as I see people report here.
My understanding is I got 2 weeks from yesterday when it arrived, right?

Since i don't have a sim how can i easily set it up and start using it but easily roll it back and use my 13 again?

Provided it doesn't work much better than the 13. I have a complete backup already of course.
Appreciate any insight!

Thanks

Yes 14 days from when it's delivered to you.

Yes you can transfer esim to the iphone 13 if you decide to return the 15 pro.
 
return if it is as bad as I see people report here
What you see here is a tiny, minuscule fraction of users of the device. If the problems stated here were widespread then the news outlets would be having a field day and Apple would be suffering. That is not the case. There were a few issues (overheating, slow WiFi speeds) that were quickly resolved.

My phone overheated when I first activated the phone but with the software update I have had no further issues. My WiFi speeds were traced to the 160 MHz bandwidth. Turning that off in my router solved the issue. A subsequent software update by Apple has resolved that issue.

Most people did not have phones that overheated. Most people did not notice the slow WiFi as most don't have the 160 MHz channel width turned on and probably don't even know that such exists.

Also remember that some of the posters are anti-Apple and post, just to post, regardless of what Apple does. The search for faults, perceived or real, seems to be a quest they cannot abandon. Most of their comments have no basis in real facts and cannot be supported.

Beyond those issues that affected a few users, the device works fine. The issue is more of is it cost effective upgrade for you. I had a 13 Pro, liked the device. I would not have upgraded except that Xfinity gave me $830.00 in trade plus an extra $350.00 credit. The device was almost free. Other than that, I would have kept the 13 Pro.
 
The two reasons are, higher storage and better battery life since my13 is going down way too fast. Never been happy with battery life
. camera is a bonus.

How do I transfer e-sim?
