15PM : camera is amazing, I really enjoy taking pictures with the x5 zoom when I travel. Battery is good but depends on your usage. Some days it last for 8-10h but some days 4-6 if you take a lot of videos, playing games etc. Pretty amazing overall

İ phone 15 pro Max here. Kinda did not like it. I switched it from red mi note 10 pro and it feels. Odd. Just odd. Not better not worse. İ think I kinda expected better from 15 pro Max
Coming from an XS everything is awesome. Except the price. The one problem I had was my wireless charger not working with the new phone due to the size of the cameras.
Best phone I've ever had
So far amazing, i went for 15 plus black and this is the first time i moved to plus side now m not getting back
Loving the 15 pro. Had 14 pro but form factor is more comfortable. Caseless. Camera is amazing if you know what you’re doing.
Just the freaking keyboard lagging here and there. Can’t take this shit anymore lol
Just great with titanium 15 pro max…. From a 12 PM
Upgraded to 15pro from 13. No issues. Its not mind blowing or anything. Really don’t notice a difference between it and the 13 aside from maybe slightly snappier and slightly better pictures and video. Just slightly
Heats up during calls and charging
Came up from an 11 pro to 15 pro max. Love the size and feel but there’s been a few times where the cameras weren’t behaving like I would expect. Perhaps user error, but just trying to answer your question to the best of my ability
Sent from iPhone 15 pro max
It’s fine. Your informal polls will tell you very little that’s statistically significant.
15PM here. Absolutely fantastic phone. Battery lasts me two days with spare change (average user - casual gaming, music, commuting, reddit/internet, daily life/household apps). The powerful camera has been a huge boon to my work in marketing. Builds up some heat when shooting long, multiple videos in 4K, but otherwise no heat issues.
I’ve had 15pm since Oct 14. Great phone overall. No overheating, no burn ins, etc. My only issue is with the apple braided usb c cable. It wiggles when it’s plugged in and causes random charging disconnections. It’s annoying. My other usb c cables dont behave like this. I chose natural titanium coz i think it’s pretty 🩶
I’ve got one on lunch day. It’s been overhyped. I have not used usbc at all. It’s barely better than my old XS Max and I miss 3D Touch.
My favourite thing about it is MagSafe but that has been a thing for a while.
Just over a month with 15 pro max. No problems. Good battery life. Wishing it was a little larger. I think it will take great photos but need to play around with it more.
No issues at all here with a 15 Pro Max. Been about a month.
Came from a 14 Pro, after having a 11 Pro Max. Missed the bigger screen and decided to trade in the 14 Pro for the 15 Max.
Best decision ever. Battery life is great and I can actually type again. Small screen typing stinks. Never got used to it.
Face ID is way better the graphics insane with Xbox streaming
I’m on 15 Pro. The battery life is average at best. By noon I’m would be left at 40-50% with average. One thing I found surprised in a bad way is the camera continuity that I use for meeting on my Mac. Coming from the iphone 11 Pro Max, the battery drain on my 15 Pro is insane while using this feature, which was not a problem at all with my four year one 11 pro max.
I upgraded from 14PM to 15PM. I actually love the phone. People will hate me, but I’m a case free user. Ever since then I love how the phone feels. It’s pretty quick too. Especially, with Siri. Moreover the cameras look the same yet there’s some speed boost here and there. Portraits are much faster now. Raw doesn’t take much more time to process than before. I haven’t tried log yet I love the action button.
Awesome
Overheating but now it just overheats with charging
Blaming the issues of heat on the phone is probably the most uneducated moron takes I’ve ever seen. The overheating was 100% caused by iOS 17 and has long since been patched. Stop following the garbage YouTube clickbait that you drown yourself in. The 15 pro max is easily one of the best phones ever made.
15 Pro. Huge upgrade over my three year old SE. I don’t have to charge at all during the day and apps don’t freeze and crash continuously. It’s a great quality of use improvement for me. I plan to hold onto this one as long as I can.
Love it:
Pros:
- Camera is getting better with software updates.
- Much faster.
- Action button has LITERALLY changed my life.
- WiFi and Ethernet speeds are MUCH better than ip14pm.
Cons:
- Battery life is okay, I don’t notice much difference tbh.
- Still a weird delay/glitching. Phone will be on and display goes dim, when I press screen to avoid sleeping, it takes 3-5 seconds before it wakes again.
Overall a great experience!👍🏼
I have no issues with the phone itself, and the battery has been great, but honestly coming from the 12 Pro Max I thought I’d feel a bigger difference and I don’t. The camera at night is better but that’s the biggest difference I’ve noticed. My eyes can’t discern the great refresh rate
15 Pro and every single picture I take comes out blurry. Anybody know what that could be? Is there some setting I’m missing?
So far I’d say I’m enjoying the awesome experience with the quality of photos captured, audio quality, build, high frame rate, etc. The battery 🔋 is phenomenal. This is my opinion so far.
Overheating is gone, yes. Wifi/reception is garbage though. It often is stuck and does nothing until airplane mode off/on cycle. Annoying. Also dont buy the 15 pro max because of the 5x lense. Apple is too dumb. In many cases it doesnt switch to the 5x lense and zooms in digitally with the main lense.
So far not satisfied and not the moneys worth. Already thinking about ditching it for a vivo x100 pro. Event the 90 pro plus still wipes the floor in all those cases.
Upgraded from the 12 to the 15 Pro Max. So far everything is great. Loving the new battery life and camera. No problem with overheating or other issues as well.
15 pro. Works perfectly. Nice upgrade from my 12 pro.
Brilliant. No issues at all.
Has been great. Live streamed a wedding ceremony to YouTube on 5G for 45 minutes under direct sun (ambient temp 25°C/77°F). The iPhone 15 Pro Max was very hot, the screen went really dim but it survived and didn't overheat or shutdown.
After the stream, the phone was super hot and uncomfortable to touch. I could tell it was throttling hard, the UI was really choppy but the stream completed without a hitch.
Moved from 12 to 15 pro max. One thing apart from size has made my life easier is how it’s much easier to hold in hand.
Using it without any case now ✨
IOS is definetely not bug-free, in some apps theres a keyboard lag
Went from a iPhone 13 Pro to a 15 Pro Max. Love the battery life and larger screen. Have to adjust to hand cramping up from single hand use and have to use two hands more often due to the larger size.
I previously ranted about how my screen was so yellow compared to other (non-OLED) Apple devices. The yellowish tint seemed to improve over a couple of weeks, and my eyes are now accustomed to the remaining yellowish tint. When I view the screen outside (i.e., in natural light), the colors are incredibly accurate. I'm still annoyed by small things, like the lack of palm gestures in the camera app, the unreliable back tap, and the subpar spellcheck suggestions in its keyboard, but I'm getting used to it.
I went from iPhone X to iPhone 15 Pro, my experience so far is just really good, I’m enjoying it a lot, just had a couple of crash app but nothing major, and I hope the battery will not deteriorate easily.
Coming from the 12 mini it's significant. I love it one second and the other I want to toss it in the road but only because I live in android PC world. I know. I'm a poor person and can't afford nice things like you rich people. I'm not worthy.
Love my iPhone 15 pro max
Glad I can get 16hrs out of one charge atleast
Massive upgrade from my iPhone 12 Pro Max
Got the 15PM and it's also my first iphone ever. The overall experience is good as hell but there are just two things that I dislike from iOS: the keyboard is so bad compared to android and I don't think it's ok to have so many different gestures to go back, it changes in lots of apps and situations and I would be easier if it was just swiping right. I guess I will get use to both thigs tho.
The phone itself is incredible, the camera, the battery life, the speed, the ram management, the design, the screen, the shortcuts, the ergonomy... You can't help it but love it!
Coming from Android for the past decade or so. Picked up a 15 Pro Max. My experiences are mixed.
Firstly. The keyboard is just so far behind android it's ridiculous. It's even behind iPad which is what I don't understand. I have had an iPad for a while now and the biggest issues I have with the iPhone keyboard aren't on my iPad. The numbers and punctuation is easily accessible from the main keyboard screen.
Other issue I have is the camera. The pictures and video look absolutely amazing. But my camera app keeps crashing when I record 4k60 within the first minute or so. Not sure if it's overheating or what. But I expect things to work better than that on iOS. Never had that sort of issue on my Android. Though my previous phone didn't record 4k60. But the top of the line iPhone and it is buggy on something as basic as camera usage? Hoping that shit gets fixed ASAP.
I picked it up for its gaming capabilities though and holy shit is the Pro Max and impressive device for that. Resident Evil 8 looks absolutely incredible. Can tweak the graphics on it like a PC. Maxed it out... it ran well but then crashed. So I went back to presets and it ran flawlessly and still looked great. Bit mind blown a phone can do this. It has options for 30, 60 and 120fps ffs. It's ridiculous.
Also picked up Wreckfest for $1.50 on the AppStore. Loaded it up, thought it looked kinda ok. Then found out that it had graphics settings too. Maxed everything I could and it looked unbelievable aswell. Silky smooth, sharp graphics, amazing lighting etc.
Also CarPlay is a mixed bag. I kind of like what works better than Android Auto. The maps in Waze look slightly better, and music screen looks slightly nicer. It's barely a difference. But for whatever reason it doesn't integrate with Facebook Messenger like android auto did and most my conversations are in Facebook Messenger. But aside from that it's pretty awesome for CarPlay.
One thing I wish I could do on both Android Auto and CarPlay is use apps like Netflix, or stream my games to the screen while parked. My CarScreen is pretty big and playing RE8 on it would be awesome while waiting at school pick up. Or an episode of whatever on Netflix. I couldnt find anything that seemed like it would work for me with the built in system my car has.
But i would say it's 90% positive for me. Want the camera fixed hopefully soon. Don't expect anything to fix the keyboard since if it was ever happening it would have by now. The few alternate options on the app store didn't really seem to integrate well for me to like the experience. But the primary reason I wanted to switch absolutely exceeded my expectations. Really hoping we get a lot more console/PC level games on iOS.
Got a 15PM on launch day, had zero issues so far, love the phone.
iPhone 15 Pro Max (512gb) - Basically a better experience overall coming from an iPhone 11 (non pro).
THINGS I LIKE
✅The display is amazing and the 120hz is very noticeable.
✅Can handle all games with virtually no lag and handles heat very well.
✅Bigger screen is a welcome change since I am a big guy and consume lots of content.
✅The camera on my iPhone 11 is already amazing; this one takes it into a whole nother level.
✅The speakers are great. Music sounds full and crisp.
THINGS I DON’T LIKE
❌Nothing; it’s basically a significantly better experience in all aspects from an iPhone 11
❌Probably the steep price but Apple is Apple and as an iSheep, I can’t complain.
RECOMMENDATIONS: ☑️ If you have a 12 series iPhone or older, upgrading to the 15 series is worth it (UPGRADES + USBC)
☑️ If you’re thinking of getting a 14 series now, I would suggest you just wait for the 15 to drop in price. The lightning port will become obsolete and you might find difficulty in getting new lightning cables a few years from now (i think)
I’ve come from a pixel 6 to 15 pro having not had an iPhone for years. Lots of wow factor for me especially the hardware (combined with the ultra watch and how they walk to each other - huge upgrade from the pixel phone/watch)
Do miss a fair bit from the android software though I can’t lie, even tho iOS is great in different ways
15pro is amazing, camera is unbelievable coming from a 12pro. looks and feels great without a case but i think it’s more comfortable to type with one
I’ve had zero heating issues . So far it’s been fantastic. Coming from a 11 Pro Max , I didn’t realise how beautiful pro motion looks and how snappy Face ID & the phone is in general. Can’t wait to further test the cameras
Battery always empty
15 pro max - flawless.
