Apple

I’ve had the 15 Pro since launch.

To address the various concerns I’m still seeing floating around:

1. Battery Life - I’ve found the battery life to be markedly better than the 14 Pro from which I upgraded. Not just towards the end of my year owning it, but better all around. I rarely get a full day’s use out of it, but then I’ve never gotten a full day’s use out of any iPhone. But, no, I’ve no concerns with the battery at all.
2. Overheating - I was lucky that I never had an overheating problem with the 15 Pro at all. BUT once iOS 17.0.3 came out, the iPhone became noticeably cool other than when I’d expect it to be warm/hot: charging wirelessly and in the hours immediately after a software update. Other than that, the phone’s cool all the time.

As for the other things people ask about…?

3. The Screen Burn that some experienced? Haven’t had it at all.

4. Frame - hasn’t lost any colour at all (I have the black and it’s still black all around) and doesn’t feel any less sturdy than previous phones, while being much less weighty.

5. Breaks easily - I use a case outside but go caseless at home. It’s slipped out of my hand a couple of times at home, falling onto the carpet; never been an issue.

So, yeah, I’m sure there are people who’ve been less fortunate or who have had less good experiences with any/all of the above… but for me? the 15 Pro is by far the best iPhone I’ve had, and the most enjoyable experience using a phone since the XR.

Small caveat: I’ve had some minor issues with iOS 17… and continue to have some. But the phone itself? Not a one.
