I had my iPhone 13 pro since the launch and had its battery replaced once under apple care+ not because the battery was failing but because I smashed the phone completely and had to have the rear side replaced entirely.

So luckily when I switched to iPhone 15 pro from iPhone 13 pro, I still had a 100% battery health on my 13 pro.

I had big expectations when I upgraded… but I am noticing so much overheating and battery drainage on my new iPhone 15 pro. I can confirm that iPhone 15 pro battery goes down faster than my iPhone 13 pro given that both have 100% battery health!! I am doing the exact same things and I don’t know why this newest phone is being so problematic. It burns like crazy randomly, too. I haven’t found out a trigger, but this phone randomly decides to become a hand warmer and it just makes me get worried about the further battery health decline.

Another minor annoying thing is, and I am actually unsure if this only applies to me, but the rounded edges are very uneven on my iPhone 15 pro. The small gap between the side panel and the rear panel don’t flush completely and this part keeps on getting caught in my hand / scratching my palm and it’s driving me crazy. Maybe this is because I’m too used to the edged sides of my old phone??

What are your experiences? For those who jumped from 13 pro to 15 pro, I want to hear your thoughts.

    I have 13 pro max, I bought a 15 pro max within the launch month and returned it within a week. I was struggling to find any good reasons to keep it. Also maybe a personal preference here but Dynamic Island is such an eye sore when compared to the notch and that’s saying a lot cause notch is already bad enough.

      I hate the notch, but I hate the Dynamic Island more. The notch was less noticeable, to me, and not some black bar floating at the top of my screen that does nothing other than providing cute animations. The Dynamic Island, in my opinion, is apples worst design choice ever. Close second is adding a notch to the MacBooks.

      The DI stood out to me for the first few weeks but I eventually got used to it. I still “see” it but I find uses for it so I’ve grown to be neutral about it. Still, I do find myself missing the notch tho.
