How is the iPhone 15 Pro Max regarding performance and battery?

I want to buy iphone 15 pro max but I am hesitant because of the reviews and news I heard when it was released regarding the heating issue and other problems so I want to make sure if things were solved or not yet before I buy it.

Hello. Good day. You wrote this on Nov 20. Now in Feb 16, is still iPhone 15 having trouble? Is it wise to buy an iPhone 15 PRO MAX today? Or still is a risk and a matter of luck that you get a healthy phone?


thanks

I am having same issue with new 15. Have ATT fiber internet and ATT cell phone service. Just got this 15 a few days ago but oddly my 14 started having these same issues only a few days before i decided to upgrade to the 15. Coincidentally, i moved my internet from Comcast to ATT fiber about 2 weeks ago.

Not sure who is at fault Apple or ATT or both.

I have the same question. It’s now 2/25/24. Please let me know, have the iPhone 15 Pro problems been fixed, or should I buy an earlier model?

We've owned iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max since launch day in September and we have had absolutely NO, ZERO, issues with either iPhone from the day we received them. Seeing people on a public forum say they have issues is like walking into a hospital, seeing sick people and assuming that means everyone is sick. There are now millions upon millions of people with iPhone 15 models who are happily using them not posting on any public forums about their phones at all.

Just bought new IPhone 15 pro max coupl of days ago. It is not charging properly. Either start charging about 10 minutes after connecting the cable and it also keep disconnecting. Never expected this from Apple.

You never expected that a company run by humans that produces devices made by humans might have the occasional failure? Uh, okay.


If you purchased the phone from Apple within the last 14 days, take it back and get a different on.

I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max and have updated it to 17.4.1 ,recently when I tried to start it up after charging,it just froze and it told me to plug it in to my computer, but it remained frozen, it was then that I removed the sim card and the phone switched off, I reinstalled the sim card and the phone was back to normal.

I was wondering if anyone else have encountered this issue.

I’m regretting returning my iphone12 pro for 15pro due to so many issues. The 1st phone I returned within a month and 2nd one is not the best. It’s constantly telling me I have no internet when I’m at home and my work computers, TV all work fine. The face recognition works when it wants to and too many other items I can’t stand with this phone. Frustrated with it.. it won’t even connect to my car. I know others having issues as well. I think for those that are not happy should get a replacement phone older model whatever … it’s a hassle.

So it’s now May 2024 and I bought an iPhone 15 pro as an upgrade to my iPhone 11 Pro. I literally want my old phone back but my nephew is now using it.


In effect I just have a telephone because unless the mobile is connected to my home Wi-Fi, which it constantly just drops out of anyway, this new phone doesn’t pick up any wifi signal the minute I’m out the house. So I cannot use any apps and can only make calls. Total disaster and so much money for something that is a total disaster. I am going to be taking it to the store tomorrow to see what they have to say. I would rather now have a reconditioned iPhone 11.

Just an update, I went back to place of purchase and they went through the details and have replaced the phone! I did have the opportunity for a refund but I have so much important stuff on my phone I panicked and said just exchange… I am 3 days in with new one and so far it’s been good, 😊 fingers crossed I got a good one like others ❤️
