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 a 14 Pro. I tried the 15 Pro and returned it. I fully realize the 14 pro is still top of the line, but regardless:

    I just didn’t like the way the titanium felt. For some reason to be the stainless steel just feels more substantial and solid, and I normally like light weight things. I’m probably in the minority but I like the way the 14 pro felt better.

    And yeah, the battery life didn’t seem great. Granted the 14 Pro’s isn’t exactly amazing either but it gets me through the day.

    I’m going to wait for some refinements to the new titanium build. But honestly, once the standard series gets 120hz, I’ll probably stop buying Pros.

      I always wonder why people are not pleased with batteries on their phone. My phone is 3 years old and still lasts me the entire day with no problem at all, and I know damn well that the 13 has a muuuuch better battery
