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?

      I wasn’t expecting crazy. I mainly upgraded for battery and a better screen. The screen is 10/10, but battery already feels like a reason to upgrade to a better phone.

      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.
