iPhone 15 Pro 6 Months Later - Is it Worth it?? 

That’s literally the worst color 😂

@@goatapp8965 haha I’m telling you it looks way better in person!

Natural Titanium

By far the blue, it’s the best color phone I’ve ever had. At times it’s black, sometimes silver.

I don’t know if it really matters since most people get cases with whatever color they want anyway.

13 Pro Max was one of my favorites, the 15 PM to me builds off a lot of what I enjoyed with that phone. Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours as well!

Battery life on regular 15pro? Would it last a day with a mix of wifi and 5g?

@@thomashelbay For me, yes. Depends on your use. Be aware that if you play games or take lots of photos that does kill the battery fairly quickly. One of the things I did to prolong the battery life a bit was disable the AOD, and I also leave WiFi and Bluetooth turned off (via settings, not control center) unless I actually need to use them. For me it’s usually about 8-9 hours of use before the battery is low.

@@robertomachuca1525 oh I appreciate these tips. Making a jump from iPhone XS, just hope that 15Pro has a better battery life than this. Pro max is just toooo big for my hands, I’d have gone for s24 ultra if that size wasn’t an issue :)

Appreciate the comment man, thanks for the feedback and support!

Dude nice, you’re getting a beast of a phone, let me know what you think once you get it in your hands!

@@JSLReview initial impressions. There were a few software bugs and the transfer process of using Move to IOS app was pretty awful, but once it was all set up and updated, it’s been great. Everything is pretty smooth and performance is very consistent. I was worried about overheating issues with all articles and Reddit discussions, but I haven’t noticed any high temps. In fact it was cool to the touch during the hours long file transfer process unlike all my past Androids and iPhones. Battery life is on par with my OnePlus 12 so far. Still not as beastly as my 13 Pro Max, but close enough for two days of use. Fit and finish is great. The addition of the matte textured titanium and beveled edges on the rear are the chefs kiss to a well established design. I like the fact it will be physically smaller than the upcoming 6.9” 16 Pro Max screen model. Very easy to use one handed, especially if you are used to large screen Android devices. Feels refreshing. Navigating the UI feels intuitive with its playful and familiar design. Not being able to swipe from the right to go back seems is still annoying…. But apps are right where I left them when I am switching back and forth. There is nothing worse than typing a long reply in Reddit, jumping to grab a link, and returning to the Reddit app ater aggressive RAM management kills the app and erases the diatribe you’ve been typing for the past 15 minutes. The display is beautiful and I have forgotten how much I appreciate iPhone’s color calibration. Colors are vibrant, but don’t appear over-saturated. I also purchased a renewed Apple Watch Ultra from Amazon for $499 and have a pair off Gen 2 AirPods Pro so I can give the whole ecosystem another try. Will see how it goes over the next few weeks.

🎉

Attention please..

There are some software glitches, and as someone who has had every generation of iPhone aside from the X and 14 series I find that surprising this far into a release. Some apps just get stuck. The settings screen was blank several times and required me closing and re-opening it. Camera glitched out a few times and placed gray blobs in the eyes of my youngest son and the family cat as well. It was very cool to the touch when I set it up, which is a first for any kind of phone for me. But it does get warm doing random tasks. Not hot, but noticeably warm. I have found myself going cáseless a lot. The rounded design and lighter weight solved the one issue I had with the 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. The lower edge doesn’t dig into my pinky when I one hand it now and the matte rails and frosted glass are a chefs kiss to a well established design. No more smudges especially on the Natural finish. Battery life is between the Pixel 8 Pro and OnePlus 12. I can get around 10 hours of screen time on a charge where the Pixel 8P got 8 and the 1+12 got 12 hours between top ups. One thing that has bothered me is not being able to swipe from the right to go back. In 2024 we should have the option for swiping from both sides. I do think I will be keeping it though. There are more things I like than I don’t. Also purchased a refurbished Gen 1 AW Ultra and I’m also really enjoying the overall Apple experience.

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!

Nice to hear you’re still enjoying it!

@@copsas3161 100% health with 95 cycles

I put on a tempered glass screen protector as soon as I take the phone out of the box. My friend goes naked on his though and it seems to be holding up pretty well!

Update: 205 cycles and I’m at 97😭

​@@kllaterall same, I have to charge it twice so as not to worry that the battery may not be enough, and I bought myself a power bank from Anker. after experience with 14 pro max the batteries on 15 pro are sorely lacking

@@alexefendi9743 got an anker too. for rn it lasts a couple hours longer than the school day but it definitely drains quicker than I thought it would. I’m at 96% now

Appreciate the feedback! Haha longest I’ve ever kept tabs was 2 years but I’ll go for as long as I can with the 15 Pro! Enjoy yours, quite a leap from the 12!

@@JSLReview Thanks so much! It fits my needs in marketing. Can't wait to see more!

Whats the battery health on your phone

Thanks for the comment, appreciate the support!

Hey sorry to hear the adjustment from the 8 is not as great as you may have hoped, it may take some getting used to with the form factor being quite different. As far as the alarm volume it has to be adjusted in the settings under sound and haptics. Hope this helps!

@@JSLReview Thanks for the response. I’ve made that volume adjustment many times, both on settings and via the side buttons. I get it right where I want it and, at some point before the next morning, the volume level is right back up at max when the alarm goes off.

The regular pro is probably the best all arounder right now, it’s a great phone that will last you a long time. Big upgrade from the 12 with pro motion and Dynamic Island!

@@JSLReview yup and this is probably my last upgrade, since I can just pretty much change the battery in the future to make it new again cause this phone has just been very amazing, portable but yet powerful with the A17 pro chip

Hey good question! Both are great choices, Apple IMO does better with the minor details at the cost of customization, if that’s more your jam then I’d look into the 15 pro!

@@JSLReview thank you! I went ahead and ordered the 15 pro max. Will send my samsung back.

@@JustinSchulz0806 Let me know how the transition back goes!

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!

Seems as though it’s a mixed experience, I’ve lucked out and had exceptional battery performance thus far but others are experiencing the issue I had with my 14 Pro Max, which was subpar perf and accelerated degradation of battery health.

Glad to hear!

Appreciate the support, let me know if and when you ever switch to the iPhone!

@@JSLReview I would like to switch actually I don't have a phone right now, but my budget doesn't allow me to get one😅💔

In my experience the reg 15 pros battery life is good. Nothing amazing but above average.

You can but it takes up a lot of storage so you’ll need a lot of memory

What phone are you coming from? I’d say it’s enough to make the viewing experience enjoyable but it may be jarring if you’re coming from a huge phone

The dynamic island always gets in the way i cannot fully enjoy full-screen and it looks odd with a pill shape in view so i bought a galaxy s24u and sold my iPhone 15 pro about the price i bought the s24u

The battery life on the PM is pretty epic, not going to lie

Probably the most underrated iPhone, it’s fantastic

Hey there, the 15 pro is a great upgrade from the 11, the regular 15 would also be a strong and more budget friendly move. You may want to consider waiting out until the 16 drops if the 11 is still ok!

@@JSLReview thank you so much for the reply, i’ll take your word and wait for the 16!

There will be something’s you’ll love about the iPhone and other things you’ll hate. If you want a simpler and what I think is a more refined experience, trying the iPhone isn’t a bad idea

@@JSLReview that is exactly what I'm looking for simple & refined

Look..Iphones are not like android who will tell you about 200 megapixel camera and 20 gb ram.. Rather,Apple will provide you simple 48 megapixel camera and 6 gb ram..Which's performance will remain the same even after 6-7 years. But on the other hand,Androids are joke now.

Dude that’s similar to what I was experiencing with the 14 pro max, I feel like Apple is having inconsistent battery performance

@@JSLReview maybe different battery manufacturers??

Mines still at 100

@@jmydy might be, unlike apple to have such a disparity in performance across the line up

Great phone!

yes because they are always charging

@@arman_cooldude but why battery degradation is higher in Pro Max?

@@jmydy The degradation on the Pro Max is bigger because it has a bigger battery. The bigger the battery, the more room for degradation I suppose..

Glad to hear it’s working out! What was the issue with the pixel?

15 plus will give you the best battery but the battery life on the pro isn’t bad from my experience. I’d go with the plus if a bigger screen is a must. Go with the pro if 120hz refresh rate is a must.

I have the 15 pro, and it’s by far the best iPhone I’ve ever had. The battery life is absolutely fine by the way. Even above average to be honest. I had the pro max’s for the last couple years and finally wanted to switch to the normal sized pro. If you like the bigger version then get the 15 plus, but the pro blows it away

I’m still using my iPhone X since it came out. I’m planning on buying the iPhone 15 Pro so I’m just watching some reviews on them, now I kinda want to just keep using my X until both my apps and Apple no longer supports and maintains them.

@@hazqier I wouldn’t get the 15 pro now, at this point in the life cycle I’d wait for the 16’s.

Well said, a strong argument could be had that no new iPhones are worth it, mainly because the older ones still perform great

@@JSLReview that’s true , even the xr from 2018 still runs well. The new phones offer more features but most people don’t want or even care about them.

My XR is dying on me. Restarting by itself, lagging or freezing when I was watching a video on browser, etc.

Any issues with the s23 ultra that’s making you want to switch?

wait for 16 pro if you can.

Yeah Apple got rid of including charging bricks with the iPhone a few years ago, causing a terrible precedent across most phone manufacturers

@@JSLReview And it presumably requires the 20 W version. Which is $20 +

Nice that’s a nice upgrade, let me know what you think once you get the 15 pro!

I’ll post it on twitter later tonight! @jslreview

@@JSLReview thank you

Posted✌️

@@JSLReview I got it now 🙏

Hey there I’m using the standard 18W fast charger via the usb c cable. It was the same one I used when I had my 14 pro max, but with that phone my battery health dipped considerably faster

Yeah from the comments, looks like the problem is still an issue for some holders of the 15 pro, it’s frustrating

There’s probably a reason why Apple didn’t make it compatible in the first place, writing on a phone would be difficult since the screen is small, you would have to have a small handwriting or to constantly zoom in or out when writing. I think you should just buy an iPad for that.

iphone 7 plus was one of my favorites! Glad it's still holding up after all this time!

Are you fast charging everyday? I had fast degradation on my 14 pro max, my 15 pro is doing a lot better

Lol you’re doing better than me. I have 257 Cycles and sitting at 92%.

@@simplycarrying8759 Dam! You have the 15pm as well? How do you charge your phone?

@@JSLReview No not at all. I still use the 5 watt little charging brick from back then but Im not using the usbc braided cable that came with my phone and using some regular one. Its a Samsung one I believe do you think that has anything to do with it? Also is it bad to use the bigger brick 20 watt charger that came with the 13pm? Let me know J?

@@Food-is_Life dang that sounds exactly what I experienced with the 14 pro max, seems like there’s a lack of consistency when it comes to battery performance from Apple right now.

Definitely white

Whitesee

u think the 5x zoom is more interesting than usbc? 🤣

@@fivieo It is just charging ports for me. I don’t care about charging my AirPods from my phone, or 3.1 transfer speeds. Why do you find USB-C so interesting?

Haha it’s because based on history, it’s very likely

I think the 16 might be a big improvement - thanks to Samsung!

What’s giving you issues with your pro?

@@JSLReview the battery 😂😂

I need to get into the habit!

Nice! What variation did you go with?

@@JSLReview hi sorry for the late reply, ive been busy with work huhu. I got the blue titanium iphone 15 pro with the 256gb variant to go along with everyday use. Pretty much its overkill, i shouldve bought the 256 gb of iphone 15 bwahahaha

That’s a big jump, kudos for holding onto the 11 pro for that long, it was a great model - enjoy the 15 pro!

I went from an iPhone 8 to a 15 Pro. I hate almost everything about the “upgrade.” It’s a far less user friendly experience for me.

@@SumDumGy_formerly_Tim_Waldenin what regard, it’s still IOS. Face ID has come a long way and works seamlessly and the gestures based navigation becomes like second nature after using it for a few days

Sounds like you might have gotten a lemon, I’d go to the Apple Store and see if they could give you a new one

I will but that take my phone for 2 weaks atleast and I dont have a second😢 bh is at 95%

Got my fingers crossed that it’s something big!

Appreciate the feedback, I’ll work on getting the dictation better on the voice over! Thanks for watching!
