I had a 12 Pro Max before and switched to the 15 Pro now. I really like the smaller size. The 12 Pro Max was just too big.

I really love the Dynamic Island. It has such a great integration in iOS. They really did make a (kinda) problem to a fantastic feature. Also finally USB-C!!! And the pictures this phone takes, it‘s just so good. I didn‘t think I would see such a big improvement since my 12 Pro also did take really good pictures, bit this is really next level.

I don‘t really have anything that I don‘t like. It works really well.

Let me hear your opinions.

    Coming from an iPhone 8+ I deeply miss 3D Touch. Hate that they removed it. I love the all screen display though.

    I upgraded from the 12PM - a great phone and I got £395 from Apple. The 15PM is ok, but the main camera (x1) is terrible. Shots are blurry. I use my phone to copy a lot of documents - the text is poorly focused, with a grey ghost. In the centre it’s ok, but the edges (especially the left hand side on my phone) are terrible. So much worse than the 12. There are various threads on Reddit etc discussing it. Some say it’s a hardware issue, others say it’s a software issue. No one seems to have found a definite solution - some have gone to an Apple Store to be told there isn’t a problem. One person said a DFU restore resolved the problem- I just don’t have the heart to go through that atm. I did a full reset and have already gone through the tedium of setting the phone up again. And I don’t have my 12PM to make the setup fairly painless.

    Love the usb c! That’s the ONLY reason I upgraded and if it hadn’t come with it this year then I still would have had my old phone and keep using it until it had usb c! Now all my portable devices have usb c and nothing with lightening!! Also bought AirPods Pro with usb c when I got my new phone because my 4yo regular AirPods were starting to die on me.

    One thing I hate is the camera focusing/ unfocusing constantly when I wanna take a picture of something that’s under a meter distance away from me.

    Love the high refresh rate display, makes my old 13 look feel sluggish even though it’s perfectly fine performance wise.

    I have a minor grip with the camera though. When I’m taking a 5x picture of something not too far away, the camera app with automatically switch to the telephoto lens with no way to manually set it to the 5x lens again. I was taking a picture of an orchid in our balcony that grew quite a lengths away and was apparently around the distance threshold for the automatic switching, as some shots managed to be taken by the 5x lens and they looked great, but most of the shots were in the telephoto lens and was way worse.

    Also the lens switching when zooming in or out during a video isn’t as smooth as most reviewers made it out to be. The lens switch is still very noticeable.
