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 miss my 13 Pro Max but I don’t hate my 15 Pro Max. My 15 Pro Max heats up more than my 13 but I also use this one differently and more heavily. As for battery life, my 13 lasted longer but I also use my 15 more heavily and my 15 is set at 80% limit. I will say that software updates have definitely improved the heating issue though.

    My 13PM has 95% battery life, and my wife has it. It can easily outlast my 15PM. I wonder if it’s the AOD that’s the root cause of the reduced battery life, or if I just use the 15PM differently than the 13PM.

    I also miss the bling of the stainless steel. It was a sweet looking device. The titanium is nice, but it doesn’t look quite as nice (although it’s much more comfortable to hold).
