Hi, just want your honest opinion. I'm planning to buy my first iPhone. Initially, wanted to buy the 15, but heard a lot of complains about the heating issues. Is this already fix, please let me know. Been contemplating to just alternately buy the 13 instead since I heard it's more stable and cheaper. I'm just a casual phone user, don't really care about the exclusive specs from the pro models. Just want a phone that could last a day.

I am an user who bought the 15 Pro Max after selling a 13 Pro Max. Dude trust me, you are better off with the 13 Pro Max. 15 pro max sucks big time. Battery drain issue, heating issue etc. 13 Pro Max battery lasted longer.

What are you talking about? I did the same thing, except I upgraded from an XS Max to a 15 Pro Max, and it is a phenomenal phone. It doesn’t suck in any way.

There is no “excessive battery drain”, that’s ridiculous. That has to do with your system settings and how you use your phone. Period.

The “overheating issue” has been corrected by software updates, but even with mine still on 17.0.2 I don’t experience very much heat that I would ever call “overheating”— it’s more like it gets a little warm on occasion, that’s all that is.

My battery gets me through the day, the night, and the following day without charging and I play plenty of games for my battery to take a hit and it hasn’t dropped below 45% once since I got it on October 13.

The 15PM is a beautiful phone and it’s future proofed with USB-C among other nice features exclusive to it. I don’t think it’s right to misguide the OP regarding the iPhone 13PM & 15PM.

Why didn’t you mention the notorious screen issues associated with the iPhone 13 series? (White screen, flickering, and green screen) you can read about it here.

Based on what you said I feel I have issues with my iPhone. I went to the Apple store where they ran diagnostics and found nothing wrong.

What kinds of issues are you referring to specifically?

[–] happydnjdjdje1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

15, no heating issues whatsoever and the battery lasts all day.
