    I’ve upgraded every year since the original iPhone and the iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 15 Pro Max is one of the worst upgrades ever. It’s still a great iPhone though. However, the battery life has been very disappointing.

    It just seems really inconsistent. I don’t have much to base this on, but it feels like Apple made the 15 Pro faster at the expense of heat and battery efficiency, which is a shame because the speed difference is lost on me.

    It really seems to make a difference when using the camera. My battery drained swiftly and I got heat warnings when shooting recently around some Mayan ruins. Yeah, it was hot, but my iPhone 14 Pro Max didn’t suffer the same under such conditions.

    I hope next year Apple focuses on battery efficiency.

      There’s likely something else happening there because my same upgrade path has shown very strong battery on the 15PM. I feel comfortable only charging to 80% each day and end the day with 40-50% battery remaining.

        I upgrade every year because I have plenty of money and I use my iPhone so much that even a modest upgrade is worthwhile.

        The 14 Pro Max improved with Dynamic Island, a much more improved camera, slightly smaller bezels, Always on Display and still had better battery life.

        Why do you care what a person does with their money? Live and let live.
