At the launch of the new iPhone, I upgraded my phone (iPhone xs max) to the iPhone 15 pro.
I assumed that it would be a bigger upgrade for me, since a few years has passed, but oh man this is a huge let down. Sadly don't have a return policy where I live in Europe.
The camera somehow seems worse. I'm not saying the camera is bad, but it does not seem better photos than my previous phone. I don't feel like I can just take out my phone and take a picture of something quickly anymore. Now I gotta focus and take more time with it.
The battery is not good. I'm a very light user, yet the battery drains just as fast as my xs max and that phone has 85% battery health.
The only real upgrade for is the 120hz screen. Charing with a usb-c cable or lightning really does not effect me at all.
Anyone else experiencing the same?
I mean the battery life was pretty much out in public, and the form factor is what is going on for the pro.
It’s not the best, but I would prefer to maybe plug in one more time a day (only on days with heavy usage in my case personal) rather than be uncomfortable for years to come.
I get that the smaller phone has worse battery, but it still has a bigger battery than my old one. I would at least expect it to be better at first.
It also has a higher refresh rate and brighter display so maybe that’s what’s causing extra battery drain compared to xs max.
