At the launch of the new iPhone, I upgraded my phone (iPhone xs max) to the iPhone 15 pro.
I assumed that it would be a bigger upgrade for me, since a few years has passed, but oh man this is a huge let down. Sadly don’t have a return policy where I live in Europe.
The camera somehow seems worse. I’m not saying the camera is bad, but it does not seem better photos than my previous phone. I don’t feel like I can just take out my phone and take a picture of something quickly anymore. Now I gotta focus and take more time with it.
The battery is not good. I’m a very light user, yet the battery drains just as fast as my xs max and that phone has 85% battery health.
The only real upgrade for is the 120hz screen. Charing with a usb-c cable or lightning really does not effect me at all.
Anyone else experiencing the same?
u/bulfinator, this sub is fucked up imo after reading your other post. Everyone, this is not a religion, ITS A PHONE.
But I don’t see any of the comments he was talking about on that post? I was expecting to see death threats and insults on here. I haven’t found any that…

There are 3 options, that could be together.

Maybe your phone is defective? You can take it to an Apple Store and they can run some tests on it.
Haha, how all the sheeps are here. Maybe they dont love to hear the truth
"Sadly don’t have a return policy where I live in Europe. "
You can return this back or give that back, if you bought from big non apple shops. Make sure that needs the same condition as brand new like i did with ipad pro m2.
You went from a Max to a Pro not gonna be too crazy of an upgrade…
Not true at all. The specs differ a lot between two iPhone gens. That is, except for the camera (not this gen) and sometimes RAM.
You are likely the demographic that use an iphone for : scroll, swipe, call , write and snap a picture.
This demographic can’t tell the difference between all iPhone models if it were presented to them, and will probably tell the 12 is more recent and better than the 13 because of…well….feelings…
They can’t tell what lenses do, don’t likely use new software features from each iOS, can buy a Pro model because they were told it is better by a seller, but will never use its features or if they do, it will be without knowing it or thinking it is software instead of hardware.
All the people I meet are like this.
Sadly, any iPhone would have been a disappointment for you since there is not a lot of upgrades anymore that really stand out to the casual user.
And sadly, that’s why “Pro” features like refresh rate, telephotos, AOD, and more will come to the base iPhone very late : casual user don’t notice it and don’t care.
Youre describing the exact demographic apple is targeting
