I got my iPhone 15 (regular 6.1”) at launch, coming from an 11 Pro. I loved it when I got it, and I still do. The camera is great even though it’s not a Pro, and the battery is holding up well (580 cycles and 93% capacity). I chose the regular over the Pro, and I don’t regret it much. Even with Apple Intelligence skipping the regular 15, it’s not a big deal to me.
What about you? Any regrets or are you happy with your iPhone 15 or 15 Pro? Let’s hear your thoughts…
I have both the 15 and 15 Pro. My main one is the regular 15 because I love the pink colour, and it’s lighter than the Pro. It feels more comfortable for long use. The only thing I wish it had is 120Hz, but other than that, it does everything I need.

Why do you have both? One for work and one for personal use?

I got the 15 Pro because it’s the lightest and smallest Pro model with 120Hz. I wanted to use it more, but the weight difference makes me stick to the regular 15 most of the time.
@Beck
Ohh, so it was more of a convenience thing?

Yeah, I saw someone selling a brand-new one at a good price, and I couldn’t resist. Phones just keep getting bigger and heavier, so I figured I’d grab it while I could.
@Beck
Haha, gotcha. Makes sense.
@Beck
Same here. 120Hz would be nice, but it’s really the only Pro feature I care about.

The Pro models usually run at 80-90Hz most of the time, unlike some Androids that stay locked at 120Hz. I have a 15 Pro, and it doesn’t feel that much different from my old 90Hz phone.
@Beck
I have both too, but I mainly use the 15 Pro. I got the regular 15 later in pink, but I’m thinking of switching since I added theft and loss AppleCare recently. I’d feel better if I ever lost it.
Had the 15 before upgrading to the 16 Pro. The only thing that really bothered me with the 15 was the 60Hz display, but otherwise, it’s a solid phone.
Switched from Android over a year ago and got the 15. I still miss some Android features, and iOS has its annoying moments, but no regrets overall.
The 48MP camera is one of my favourite things about it. We went to Europe last year, and I took over 1,500 photos. The quality was so good that I printed them and made a photo album for my wife as a Christmas gift. She loved it.
@MythicMaverick
That’s a really thoughtful gift. And yeah, the 48MP camera is amazing. The photos I took last summer look so much better than the ones I took with my old 11 Pro.
I upgraded from an iPhone 11, and I think it was worth it. The battery was getting bad, and the trade-in deal was decent. The 15 has been a good upgrade so far.

Yeah, that seems to be a common upgrade path. My 11 Pro was also struggling with battery life, and when I got a good trade-in offer, I took it. Hope your 15 lasts you a long time.
Had mine for over a year, and I’m really happy with it.

Good to hear. I’m enjoying mine too.
I would’ve kept my iPhone 11 if it hadn’t broken. The differences don’t feel that big, and the battery life on my 15 is actually worse.

Which model did you get? I’ve heard a few complaints about battery life, especially with the Pro versions.
