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.
