Hi people, I just wanna know how’s your experience with the iPhone 15 pro and 15 pro max, since it got backlash regarding overheating and thermal design issues, titanium build and many more, even though Apple promised to solve it through updates, so are they really gone or there’s still something bugging the phone? How’s the overall experience been with you guys?! Please comment below!

New 15 Pro user coming from an 11. I wasn't planning on upgrading when the 15s first came out, but my 11s battery was really starting to drain out and along with a couple other minor issues as well as being in a good financial spot, i decided to upgrade to the 15 Pro. Wow, i definitely feel the upgrade!

For me, there's numerous things I like better. First off, this is my first Pro model of an iPhone so having the Pro-Motion/120hz refresh rate is sooo smooth and looks great. Then for the rest of the upgrades since my 11, I finally have 5G, MagSafe is awesome and i've bought a couple accessories to utilize that, the cameras are a massive improvement! Dynamic Island is a fun feature that makes going back to your previously used or currently using app a breeze. The cinematic mode and being able to shoot LOG profile is awesome! As a professional video production worker, having that ability on me at all times incase i need it is great. The emergency SOS thing is a nice safety feature to have just incase as well. I went for the Pro instead of the Pro Max to actually have a slightly smaller phone than my 11 so I can comfortably use it with one hand again since I have smaller hands. And of course, one of the biggest reasons I wanted to upgrade is that the 15s finally have a USB-C port instead of lightning. It's so convenient to have all my tech finally using the same cord for charging/data transfers.

The only negative I experienced was that when I first got my 15 Pro, it was really hot to hold in my hand. But after I set everything up on it, went through a full battery cycle, and got a case, i havent felt any heating issues since. My battery life has been really solid as well. I don't use my phone too much so after my first use/charge cycle, i used about 35% of my battery in one day. So as of now, i see myself needing to charge my phone once every couple of days instead of nearly twice a day that I was doing with my 11. Overall, I'm super happy I upgraded and am hoping this phone will last at least 4 years like my 11 did! My 11 was a great iPhone, but it was simply time to upgrade.
