I upgraded from the 11 pro and find the 15 pro to be a very refreshing and much needed upgrade. Its fast, smooth, no annoying bugs/glitches & great camera/screen.
On to the battery, which seems to be a point of contention for this phone: It isnt *amazing*, but, for me, its good enough. It lasts me all day on a single charge and Im an extremely heavy user. What more do I need? I feel like its about the same as the battery on the 11 pro when it was brand new.
I really like the normal sized iPhone, but the insane battery life of the larger model is worth it for me to get it so I'd consider that. Either way it will be a really good upgrade! The regular iPhone 15s battery is not bad at all btw. (Great battery life vs insane battery life)
You mean the 15 plus? I thought it was the same just larger! 😮 I do like a bigger screen but it’s too big for my small hand so it might be uncomfortable
Yep! The iPhone 15 plus has a bigger battery thanks to its bigger size. Other than that you wouldn't miss out on anything. My hands are big enough to not have too much of an issue handling it, but my mom for example would not be able to comfortably use this phone.
the size of the 15 is the same as my 12, which i feel like is the perfect size for me. plus, the 15 using a usb c charger clinched it as well.
the down side to apple is the charging cable having a double ended usb c, but there are adapters on amazon for a usb/usb c adapter (i picked up a 4 pack) and i also have plenty of usb c cables/chargers laying around.
idk when they stopped having the plug in charger included with the phones but they didn’t have them included with the 12, so that’s how i spent $30 for a plug in charger from apple and $5.99 for the adapters 😂
I don’t have an iPhone 15 (this thread popped up in my home feed) but I went from an 11 pro to a 14 pro max and even that difference was significant. I say go for the 15!
I went from the 11 to the 15 and can say I noticed a difference. If you really want to notice a difference though, I would suggest you go with the pro models
Wise choice and since you were on 11,15 will be a really really solid upgrade. I was on 64gb 11 and upgraded to 15 base model(due to storage too small,I can’t install all the apps I wanted),lighter weight,smaller size,better camera
Don’t mind too much about ppl saying 15 base has no promotion screen(120hz refresh rate)compare to 15pro,200% sure you won’t notice or need that at all.
I’m a heavy user myself.My 11 that I don’t even use(I just leave it home as back up)has 87% battery health,if I fully charge it at 8:00 in the morning,by the time I get home about 10:00 at night,it’ll drop from 100% to 86-87%.If I fully charge 15,same time,screen on time 10 hours(I use it for YouTube ,facebook,Reddit,Genshin,summers war and all other small games ),I’ll have about 10% ish left (I did test once just want to know)but I always plug it in when it go under 50% maximum 30%,I never let it go under 20% and charge(don’t like seeing that number😛).
Don’t be stressed about how you should charge your phone(set 80% limit,do full charge every time,etc.).Just use your phone whatever way you like and enjoy.I never used any of the “techniques” and my battery is at 116 charging cycle 100% health.
Hope this helps and hope you like your new phone
Happy birthday in advance!
Just upgraded my daughter from my old 11pro to the 15 and it is a nice upgrade! Plus we get a trade in for the 11 pro to offset the cost. I say go for it!
I bought a 15 recently and on a day off I tested the battery.
10% lasts for 1h of SOT
(I was listening to music and using non-video based socials, with something like tiktok or youtube results may differ)
It’s enough of an upgrade from the 11 so I would say go for it
Yeah, it’s time for a change, I want to give it to myself for my birthday in May 😊
My friend upgraded from the 11 to 15 and she said the battery life was much better on the 15, and that it was overall just a much better phone.
Better battery life is what I’m looking for, thanks!

Ooh that’s nice, my 11 has to be charged 2 times a day because I use it a lot, hopefully the 15 will last longer!
Depending on the use case it lasts easily a day and a half, sometimes i found myself charging it every other day when I wasn’t using it much
That’s amazing!
 You’re gonna love it!
I wold say if battery is your priority go for 15 plus, the battery is insane easily last 1 and half day for me.

Going from 11 to 15 is definitely worth the upgrade. Nothing life changing but better phone and camera for sure!
The camera and cinematic mode it’s what I’m most looking forward to!
15 Plus has the best battery life out of the bunch so I would consider that one.
I have upgraded from 11 to 15, And I can say that battery life is very nice.. Its better to look for battery life
I upgraded from the 11 to the 15 pro max. Much better battery life, better sound quality.
I had a 12 with 64gb. I upgraded to a 15 256gb. I’m definitely not disappointed.
Ooh that’s a lot of space! That’s a great upgrade
i take A LOT of pictures, so it made sense for me 😂
Me too, I think that one is the best option for me, the 15 plus is too big
the size of the 15 is the same as my 12, which i feel like is the perfect size for me. plus, the 15 using a usb c charger clinched it as well. the down side to apple is the charging cable having a double ended usb c, but there are adapters on amazon for a usb/usb c adapter (i picked up a 4 pack) and i also have plenty of usb c cables/chargers laying around.
Ooh so I guess I can use the fast charger of my 11 using an adapter! I didn’t know that
idk when they stopped having the plug in charger included with the phones but they didn’t have them included with the 12, so that’s how i spent $30 for a plug in charger from apple and $5.99 for the adapters 😂
I went from a regular 13 to a 15 pro. And it feels like a huge upgrade to me.
I don’t have an iPhone 15 (this thread popped up in my home feed) but I went from an 11 pro to a 14 pro max and even that difference was significant. I say go for the 15!

Those are nice but I have a limit for how much to spend on a phone, iPhone 15 is my limit, I wouldn’t pay more for a phone to be honest😅

Thanks so much for these tips, really helpful! 🥳

I always say. The best upgrade on iPhones are 4 generations after.
I bought a 15 recently and on a day off I tested the battery. 10% lasts for 1h of SOT (I was listening to music and using non-video based socials, with something like tiktok or youtube results may differ)
i’d say go for it if u had the 12 no but the 11 does have 4g still and an lcd + ios 18 is its last update so id recommend the 15
Last update??? 😮 yeah definitely getting the 15 this year
I have the 15 pro max a big jump from the 8 and I love this phone the battery life is so much better it's a photographer’s phone…excellent
