My wife and I have XR’s and are considering upgrading. It’s time. As you can tell, we tend to keep our phones until it’s just not tenable living with aggravations of aging tech. So, I’m looking for opinions from folks that have the 15 or 15 Pro. What are you thrilled about, and not so thrilled about? Has anyone gone from an XR (or older) phone to your current 15? If so, in retrospect are you satisfied with the upgrade?

Trying to decide if the time is now, or do we wait for the 16’s?

Thank you for your feedback!
 
Well worth it in my opinion, the camera quality overall is amazing compared to other iphones ive owned, the battery life is pretty good too, i use my phone a lot and with wifi and mobile data turned on all the time and lots of screen time my phone uses a max of around 35% battery over the course of 24 hours, i can get away with 2 days before a recharge if i really wanted to. Im very happy with my 15 pro max, worth every penny.

I don't know about the 15's.
I have a 13 that I am happy with.

But, I will consider the 16 if there is a dramatic difference with the current phones.
And they are not tooooo far away.
They have their conference in September and release the new phones in October.
Supposedly, the new ones are suppose to have an AI chip or maybe AI software with a new IOS release.

The last 2 ( 14 and 15 ) iPhones have been lackluster, so hopefully, the 16's will have some interesting characteristics.

That is really impressive battery life! Thanks for the feedback.
 
Because of the good battery life on my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve taken to using the 80% Charging Optimisation option every night, and still have enough battery for the next day, not to mention preserving the overall life of the battery.

First I had charged to 100% the way it was setup but found out i did not need 100%, so i reset to 80% after around 15 hours i am down 10% it just takes maybe 20 minuets charging to be back to 80%.

This is better for the battery and better for me, if i find i am going out for maybe days i again will put it to 100%.

Just to let you know, no matter what Brand phone you have its never healthy to let your phone discharge to below 20%, that in itself can have an affect on lifespan, always try to recharge before dropping below 20% if you can, especially with iphones, they respond well to regular charging.

Letting it discharge below 20% has no effect on its lifespan. You can charge your iPhone whenever you want. Just don‘t let it drain completely.

Lithium-ion batteries, which iPhones use, degrade the least when kept between a 20% and 80% state of charge
Fact - Iphones Use Lithium-Ion, as do a lot of phones, regardless of what fake promises Apple write in their blogs.
