It’s been a while since I got a new phone I had the iPhone 11 Pro so it was about time for an upgrade. We got an email saying we could get free iphone 15 pros this weekend which was pretty awesome since the phone just released. We decided to take up the offer and upgrade.
We decided to go with the 128GB model. We spent a hour in the store trying to get our plan updated. After fending off all of the up sells we were happy to get the phones home and to start trying them out.
I’m impressed with the upgrades below is the advertised specs which are far better than my old phone.
High Level Specs
- A17 Pro chip with 6-core GPU
- 48MP Main camera 3x or 5x Telephoto camera Ultra Wide camera
- Up to 29 hours video playback
- Weight: 6.60 ounces (187 grams)
- Super Retina XDR display 6.1‑inch (diagonal) all‑screen OLED display 2556‑by‑1179-pixel resolution at 460 ppi
- ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz
The performance, camera and color are all very noticeable improvements. My old phone was struggling to keep up with newer apps and the camera was very good but the new camera is light years more advanced. Another feature I have not been able to fully utilize is the longer battery life. I’m hard on batteries and my old phone barely made it through the day.
Example of new camera quality
Due to the new design we had to get new cases and screen protectors which was not cheap, but the newest generation of Otterbox cases feel even more rugged than the ones from a few years ago. Apple has made the data transfer to new phones pretty easy it took about 30
mins of actual work and 2 hours to get everything transfer and connected. I forgot how much of a pain it is to have to resign back into apps. The process would have been much quicker if I could remember all my passwords. I even had to do about 20 apps worth of 2FA 
Overall, the phone has been pretty nice. I’m working though having the new action button and I have been watching some of the tips and tricks videos on how to optimize the new features.
