Apple iPhone 15 Pro

Technical specifications

Great phone. Photos and videos turn out superbly. In everyday use, I have not noticed any overheating. The speed of operation is noticeable after switching from the 13 Pro. I recommend it.

I switched from 11Pro and the difference is massive. Photos and videos are excellent, and the new connectivity module is faster on 5G ! I am extremely satisfied.

I do not understand why there is so much excitement about the iPhone and general enthusiasm for this brand. I switched to the iPhone 15 Pro around June 2024 and I am already tired of this phone. While it initially worked very well, practically without any issues, it now performs much worse. Micro-stutters appear in applications, and often even total freezes. Some applications can "freeze" – the interface then stops working, with no reaction to touch within the application until it is removed from multitasking. The battery at this moment, with 330 cycles, already has 90% health. It is not hard to guess that it holds a charge poorly now, which is strange because I have never played games on this phone nor do I use it intensively for several hours a day on social media. In fact, I have even been providing it with Wi-Fi from a second phone practically since it was new, because I have a huge amount of data to use on the other phone. It is possible that the battery condition is the reason for how the system manages power, and perhaps the performance of the components has already decreased for this reason – I do not know. Applications, even the stock ones from Apple, can also experience freezes and errors, not to mention the tragically functioning Apple Music. Should a device for such money behave this way? The iPhone is unfortunately an overrated, low-quality product in which problems emerge over time. Fans will obviously say that I have a defective unit. Of course. Among the advantages, one must certainly mention the build quality, the quality of the display itself, and the quality of the speakers, which for a phone sound very clear, with a pleasant, warm tone. The camera is good, but on very sunny days the photos come out darkened. In summary: this is my first and last iPhone. I am now considering switching back to Android because I can no longer tolerate the tragic battery performance and the flawed operation of the system. It is simply a device not worth its price. Now I understand that one pays mainly for the logo rather than for the system refinement, which does not exist in the iPhone. And somehow I do not see this "optimization" of energy management (with a smaller cell), because those options responsible for intelligent charging etc. are just another deception that does not work, but only looks good in the system.

I am not satisfied with this phone. All the additional features like the camera etc. work great, but Apple seems to have forgotten that the basic function of a phone is making calls and receiving/sending messages. And this is where the problem starts, because new messages from WhatsApp and Messenger often arrive with a delay. When someone calls me, it does not show it, and read messages pop up with a delay as unread. Since I am abroad and the phone is my work, this iPhone is simply an underdeveloped relative of Android. I was in Turkey and drivers who could not sometimes reach me by phone pointed out that this is a common problem with iPhones. Instant messengers do not work in real time. This is my most expensive phone so far and the most unfinished one. With weaker reception, such as 3 signal bars out of 4, the translator no longer works for me and cannot connect to the internet, and when I go to the browser and use Google Translate, there is no problem. It is a disaster. A very nice phone, but more as a toy or a gadget, because it is completely unsuitable for work. I install updates on an ongoing basis and perhaps that is the problem, because these problems did not exist in the base version.

The phone is excellent after switching from the XS, 12, and 13 to the iPhone 15 Pro from the 2024 production. The photos and videos are superb, the battery lasts 2-3 days with texting, calling, Messenger, WhatsApp, and TikTok. I do not play games but I take many photos which are truly excellent compared to the Galaxy S23 and 24, as well as Xiaomi, where the system already processes photos itself which is artificial; artificial intelligence :). For me, the iPhone wins because I have experience with those models from Samsung, Xiaomi, and for example the Moto Edge 40 Neo; it even wins against Samsung for me, but this is my opinion. I am not praising the iPhone in any way, but I have convinced myself by buying various models with iOS and Android. I have used a very large number of phones, probably dozens of companies and models. iOS is very effective for me; at least I have no problems with any application, everything works as it should. I will not criticize other companies or be overly enthusiastic about the iPhone, but I recommend it at least for the trouble-free use of applications.

I had the 13 Pro (a great device overall), but every now and then I like to refresh my phone and I decided on the 15 Pro in the natural titanium color.

PROS
1) Dynamic Island is a great option in my opinion, I am very satisfied.
2) I was skeptical about the action button, but after 2 weeks I was already used to it and it has several nice functions.
3) The battery generally lasts all day and once with light use it lasted for almost 2 days.
4) The titanium coating is an excellent idea - the phone does not scratch.
5) The cameras are excellent for my needs.
6) A purely aesthetic change, but the reduction of the black bezels is also noticeable compared to my 13 Pro.
7) The built-in speakers provide a satisfying volume.
Minus
Initially I did not feel this, but a certain version of iOS caused the phone to start heating up ( I do not use a case).

If you are an owner of a 13 Pro or previous models, I can sincerely recommend switching to the 15 Pro.

This is already my second iPhone. It takes very good photographs both during the day and at night. It records excellent videos (I switch to 60 fps). I work in the industrial sector and the various photography modes are extremely useful. In tight control cabinets, an excellent macro mode activates automatically, allowing small inscriptions (device nameplates) to be photographed in excellent quality from close up and in low light. Very good LTE coverage, where 3G works in remote locations and you can use the internet. Navigation works flawlessly. The battery lasts for two days. The device does not experience any performance issues because the efficient processor performs very well. A plus is that it already has a Type-C connector. The sound is clear, powerful, and distinct (good speakers). For me, it is a work tool and it fulfills its role well. I advise buying a quality case, because it would be a pity to lose the money and the phone.

Hello, this is the first iPhone I have ever owned. I have been using the phone for about 3 weeks at this moment:
Pros
+ dimensions (it fits well in the hand)
+ camera (very good photo quality)
+ battery (with my usage it easily lasts 2 days)
+ speed of operation
Cons
- interface (I believe that Android is more user-friendly in daily use) - this point bothers me a lot.
- it is not possible to change the ringtone to your own, you can only download it from iMusic (it is a trivial matter, but nevertheless significant)
- imprecise screen (or I am unable to tap it correctly, which I mention as a humorous observation)

I have always been a fan of the iPhone and decided to change from the 13 Pro to the 15 Pro. There is no significant element of surprise here; the battery is weaker and the photos are perhaps slightly better, but the biggest flaw of the 15 Pro is the speakers. Specifically, the sound is very poor, as if the phone were located somewhere at the bottom of a cup. The mid-tones are emphasized and the sound is tiring for the ears at higher volumes. Not everyone writes about this, but there is a mention of it in some tests. For the first time, I am disappointed with an iPhone purchase.

After 2 weeks of using the iPhone, I stopped understanding why people praise it so much. Compared to cheap Android phones, it is significantly superior in terms of performance, but a vast number of useful functions available in Android are missing. There is essentially no customization. I switched to the 15 pro from a four-year-old pixel 5 because the battery was already weak. Now I am looking for a battery for the pixel 5. I will certainly not buy an iPhone for the next few years; maybe I will try again someday to experience it for myself.
