Coming from an XR. Here’s my battery stats from today

(8 am - 3pm school) right now my biggest concern is battery life. I’m buying the 15 the day they come out, but i don’t know whether to choose the pro or pro max.

my dad has a 14 PM but when i tried it i didn’t like it. too big, can’t use with a single hand and too heavy. I’m very used to the XR and it’s really the perfect size. Now i’m thinking of getting the pro, because it’s the same size, but i’m curious how the battery will approximately be. here’s the last 10 day usage.

now i don’t like this battery life. really afraid of going to school without 100%. though i do have a magsafe battery pack so that could help, but it doesn’t stick to my xr so i don’t use it now. will the 15 pro have better battery life than this, or should i go with the pm and could you get used to it? thanks
 
Both are really good devices if coming from an XR. Depends on if you prefer the better zoom, bigger screen and battery on the Max or if you like a lighter, more compact phone that you can use with one hand and pocket easily. I’ll be getting the regular pro as I prefer superior portability and ease of use and I’ve never used the telephoto lens all that much compared to the ultra wide and macro photograph, anyways

yeah, i’m pretty sure i’ll go pro too. i really prefer one handed use, and the PM is too big for me. i don’t really need the 5x telephoto either. i just want to come from school with a peace of mind that the battery will make it because right now i refrain from doing stuff just so i have enough power till home haha

I have the 13 pro and it still has outstanding battery life to this day. I would imagine the 15 pro will be similar after they hopefully learned their lessons from the 14 pro. You don’t need the Max to get all day battery life, it’s just the Max can last you well into the next day. If you’re coming from an XR, even the 3x telephoto will be a big difference since that phone doesn’t have any type of telephoto lens.
