    I've been using my 14 Pro since day one and I can't believe that my battery health is still around 91% lol. In the very first months the phone was really frustrating. Constant overheating, bugs etc. But now, everything has been starting to go off pretty buttery smooth. Looks like I got lucky because most of 14 pro users don't have the same experience as I do with my 14 pro. I'm hoping to keep this for around 3 more years then upgrade to a newer model..

    I thought about purchasing an iPhone 15 Pro Max but the one thing that concerns me is, will it stay in your pants pocket? My iPhone 15 Pro stays in my pants pocket without any trouble. I always keep it in a case and screen protector on the front. I only upgrade every two or three years. Now that I have an iPhone 15 Pro, I am saving for a new iPad. I have the money. I just need to take the time to go to the Apple Store and pick it up. But I’m thinking about just depositing the money into my account and ordering online. When I go to work, I use my phone to listen to the radio broadcast of the game so I know what is going on. By the time the fourth inning comes around I plug my phone in so that way it starts charging. Sometimes when I get back to our office, I’ll plug it back in to continue charging until my mom is ready to go.

    Is it just on the 15 models that you can set a charge limit?! I don’t have any options for that in my battery settings…
    I have a 14 Pro and as a truck driver, this thing gets brutally used so my battery is already at 87%. Mine is charging in the cradle in my work truck basically all day as I listen to music over USB and use truck maps. I keep it off the charger all night so I don’t torch the battery. I only charge it at work.
    I plan on replacing the battery when it gets to 75ish % and just keeping the 14 Pro. Unless Apple does something crazy cool with the 16. I just didn’t see the upgrade with the 15…

    Regarding the Action Button, I use it multiple times a day and it's changed how I use my phone.

Everything from opening my garage door to scheduling a text to triggering a fake call to escape awkward situations.

    Hi I use the action button to mute, I use it every day because I don't have my phone with me all the time, it's away from me, especially at night, I have my phone at the other end of the room, no need for excessive radiation, no interference. and the alarm clock has to ring further away from me too, so I use mute every day. I have both iphone 14 pro max and 15 pro max, both are very good to use, I even like stainless steel often more than titanium, I guess I feel that way. Thank you!

    I bought the 15 Pro Max to use as my main phone after using androids as my main phones and an iPhone 4 for so many years! (I have many iPhones but I haven’t used them as my main phones.) It’s the only phone I ever got where I just wasn’t excited to have! The thermal and battery issues were enough to make me almost hate the thing and regret buying it. Also the switch from android to iOS and losing all of android’s perks were not easy for me. Anyway I’m sitting here typing this on my 15 Pro Max, it has gotten much better through updates and I’ve gotten used to it! However, if iOS 18 isn’t anything good (which it doesn’t seem bad according to the leaks) my next phone is probably going to be the next Samsung Flagship of the year I will decide to upgrade!
