Hi fabbers

Looking for some advice if anyone has experience in it. Currently on an iPhone 13. Due an upgrade and as usual, battery life is brutal now after 2.5 years.

Thinking of upgrading to 15 pro max. And wondering if anyone has it, does it have the same issues as the early 15/15 pro’s with the overheating etc? Last thing I want is to be dealing with a burnt down house

Thanks in advance.

I still don't understand why people spend a fortune on Apple products

Much better options out there for less

I’ve just always been an apple guy. I’ve had android phones for work etc and just never liked them? Really can’t fault my current one or my previous ones either, just except the predictable battery issues after the 2-3 year period

OP no point upgrading to 15/Pro when the new one will be released later this year. Unless you’re getting it used, I wouldn’t upgrade just yet.

Worth checking Nothing Phone. Pretty much an Apple design with Android OS. Happy shopping!

Why don’t you get the battery replaced on the one you are happy with?

Personally I don't know anything about iPhones, as I've never had 1. I've had Samsung for the last few phone's. I wouldn't recommend them, as them seem to have a problem with internal memory. Even after deleting stuff.

Others might find them different?

I'll keep an eye on this thread aswell.

Sold my 15 pro max and went back to the 14 pro, exact same phone but I found the 14 better the 15 kept getting hot and would freeze

15 has no better spec and than the 14

The internal memory is the only problem I've had with them. I'm open to the iPhone & other makes.

What have you found to be better with the iPhone compared to the Samsung?

Hi Mr here, anybody who thinks anything Apple can touch what I have in my hand is on heavy drugs! As for memory your actually having a laugh! I've 33,200 memes on my phone! Few thousand videos, entire work emails + personal emails. Not a chance you have an S23 or S24 in your hands. As for the difference in cameras... lol it's like a throw away phone v a Cannon. Plus access to 100,000 more apps

Yeah this is my worry!!

I seen and read that when the 15 range came out, they all had issues with overheating, freezing etc. but that was APPARENTLY fixed with the next batch of phones that came out.

100% this. We have such an e-waste problem. Upgrading ever year to the latest and greatest that you don't need is just silly.

Vodafone give you €100 minimum for your phone plus extra depending on what it is, recycle the phone or sell it on as parts.

Are you directing that at me?

If you are I'm not joking about bad memory on the phone. I'd say I'm lucky to have about 1/10 of what you have on your phone. I've delete apps to up date the software or apps, at time's on it. It's a J4/J8 or an A4/A8 I have. Nothing to special at all. The camera is alright on it.

Yeah that’s what I’m planning on doing also. Think I get €200 for trading my phone in against it. All this one will do is gather dust.

Spotted this thread. I'm hoping to change from android to my first ios. I'm hoping to buy iPhone 15. The 14 does not have the USBc unlike 15. Concerned about battery life though.

Galaxy s24 ultra battery: 5000 mAh

iPhone 15 pro max: 4441 mAh

Know the 15 pro max had about 29 hours of battery life. Presume galaxy will be around the 30 hour mark
